Matteo Salvini serves as Deputy Prime Minister of Italy and as Minister of the Interior since June 2018.

New Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has shut off Italian ports to a migrant ship with more than 600 people on board, as he follows through on his promise to get tough when it comes to illegal immigration.

Salvini set out his position on Facebook, saying: "Malta takes in nobody. France pushes people back at the border, Spain defends its frontier with weapons. From today, Italy will also start to say no to human trafficking, no to the business of illegal immigration."

He also tweeted: "Everyone in Europe is doing their own business, now Italy is also raising its head. STOP the crappy business of illegal immigration."

There has been pushback domestically with the Mayor of Palermo, Leoluca Orlando, insisting that the ship could dock on his patch.

Comment: The globalists' tactic of undermining sovereign nations by flooding them with outsiders in the name of "humanitarianism" is starting to backfire, as those nations are taking back control of their borders.
