Abstract
In recent years, inflows of asylum seekers have become the main issue in the public discourse on immigration and borders have acquired a new relevance in politics. Southern Europe has often been seen as a point of entry into the inner part of the continent, and governments have been pressured to act as border guards of the EU. However, tragedies in the Mediterranean have obliged the Italian government in particular to conduct search and rescue operations, and the failure of refugees’ resettlement in Europe has led to increased reception in Italy. The contrast between humanitarian obligations and political resistance against refugees has been manifested in disputes against NGOs that save the lives of refugees and in local policies against the reception of asylum seekers. Borders are multiplying within the country.
