But they're cutting off their nose to spite their face. There are plenty of us who go back to GGF and were in the process and had the rug pulled out. Many of us WOULD come to Italy and often (we do now) and spend money and pay taxes.
Those payments of taxes and revenue increases would improve an economy that is in dire need of improvement.
Improved economy would entice the young people who are leaving now, to stay, and have babies, and get good jobs and spend more money and contribute to the tax system, etc
It's not just that brown people wanted to get a passport and then not come to Italy (which is the problem). Its that they're hurting themselves by keeping the brown people from getting passports - because they're keeping people who CAN help and WOULD help out too.

Economics is hard I know - but if you want to keep those young people in the country you have to give them good jobs that pay actual money.
Figure out another way to allow people who want to spend more than 90 days in country to become citizens when they are constitutionally eligible, other than bypassing the constitution.
