Rome June 5 (IANS/AKI) Italy s hardline Interior Minister Matteo Salvini on Tuesday warned hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants that "the party is truly over".
"The party is truly over for illegal immigrants " said Salvini who heads the anti-migrant League party.
"They ve been living off other people for too long."
The "170 000 supposed refugees who are watching TV in their hotels" is "a gravy-train that we can no longer sustain " Salvini said.
Nearly 700 000 people have arrived in Italy from Africa since 2014 aboard the people traffickers boats and Salvini has vowed to deport half a million migrants.
However critics have cast doubts on the feasibility and ethics of Salvini s expulsion plans.
