VATICAN CITY, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- A controversy over the expulsion of 38 Romanian immigrants by the Italian government has drawn an admonition from Pope Benedict XVI.
Benedict called on Italians to respect the rights of immigrants in the wake of a new policy of deporting Romanians who commit crimes, The Independent reported Monday.
"I wish that relations between migrant and local populations should be in the spirit of moral civility and the fruit of the spiritual and cultural values of every people and every country," the pope told a crowd gathered Sunday in St. Peter's Square.
His remarks followed calls by Italian government opposition leader Silvio Berlusconi for closing the borders to Romanian workers.
"People can't take it any more, because this wave of immigration has caused a growth in criminality," said Gianfranco Fini, who served as foreign minister in Berlusconi's government.
Several crimes recently, including the killing last week of an Italian woman near a squatter camp on Rome's outskirts, were alleged to have been carried out by Romanian immigrants.
Friday night a group of Romanians was attacked in a Rome suburb.
