In the United States, immigration is often described as a constant crisis. Many Americans ask: why does immigration always feel like an emergency? The answer is simple—because too many immigrants do not integrate.
When newcomers do not work, do not learn the language, and do not respect the law, they remain outsiders. This creates insecurity in communities, fuels resentment among citizens, and turns immigration into a permanent political battlefield. The problem is not only how many people arrive, but also what happens after they arrive.
Italy has developed a unique legal tool called complementary protection. It was created to recognize that integration itself generates rights. If a person works, speaks the language, and respects the rules, they are not a burden but a contributor. For such people, deportation would not only be unfair—it would weaken society. But for those who refuse to integrate, the answer is clear: return.
This is the new paradigm I propose: integration or reimmigration. Immigration policy should no longer be reduced to “open borders” or “closed borders,” but should be based on measurable standards. Work, language, and lawfulness are the three pillars. If you meet them, you earn the right to stay. If you reject them, you must go back.
And so the inevitable question is: could this paradigm also work in the United States?
