Jo McKenna: Italy Correspondent on the European Union investigating the possibility of migration law reform

The Italian Government is celebrating as the European Union has agreed to investigate reforming laws to manage migration.  The country's right-wing government campaigned on slashing the number of migrants entering the country.   Many arrive from North Africa by boat, crossing the Mediterranean Sea.  Newstalk ZB Italian Correspondent Jo McKenna says that while some have called the plan cruel, new regulations will help manage migratory flows.  She says more than 150,000 migrants entered Italy just this year.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
