L'immigrazione è una realtà. Occorre saper coniugare insieme quel principio dell' accoglienza che ha sempre innervato l'anima profonda del nostro Paese con un altro principio, non meno necessario, quella della legalità, di cui tutti si avverte la necessità per la convivenza sociale. — As quoted in Corriere della Sera (May 25, 2009)
