When it comes to illegal immigration, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini feels the same way as many Americans.
According to The Independent, in response to actor Richard Gere saying that North African migrants should be permitted into Europe, Salvini said: “Given that this generous millionaire is voicing concern for the fate of the Open Arms migrants, we thank him: he can take back to Hollywood, on his private plane, all the people aboard and support them in his villas. Thank you Richard!”
Salvini, who also serves as Italy’s interior minister, took issue with remarks Gere made from the Mediterranean Sea, where he was delivering food and water to stranded refugees, The Independent reported.
Gere, as is the case with many Hollywood stars who are used to performing like drama queens, said politics must be pushed aside and that “demonizing people has to stop everywhere on the planet, and it will stop if we say stop.”
Video footage of Gere helping bring supplies to migrants can be seen below:
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
