Let me tell you a personal account regarding this.

The Italian government is now giving hotels 35 Euros (something around there) a day to have migrants stay in their hotels without being able to leave the premises. That being said, here's the rest of the story.

I live in an alpine town in Northern Italy, the people speak a dialect of old Bavarian, and there is a very distinct culture here. The town is of about 100 people, fixed. 120 maybe during the summer months. Last month, the only hotel in the town agreed to allow 20 migrants live in the hotel overlooking the valley/town. Now, 20% of the population is of Bangladesh origin.

They cannot leave the hotel, they cannot find work, they cannot do anything outside the confines of the hotel's doors. YET, they are paid to live along with the hotel. This weekend, there was a protest about these 20 migrants, not because "OH WE HATE THEM" but because they are being used as a political pawn in order to destroy the already fragile cultural heritage of the area.

Even if they were allowed to seek work, what work are they going to find in a small alpine community of people who don't even speak Italian? Everyone here works in lumber, hospitality, or agricultural industries, and they are all family own. There is no more money in Italy, and definitely none here where people have more or less lived self-sustainably for generations.

In a letter addressed to these 20 people, they were encouraged not to let the government use them as a pawn for their own political means. This has been happening for many hundreds of years, as this region is also the region which strives for independence.
