This is the symbol that has been chosen for the European Day dedicated to immigrants.

We are human beings just like the others and the security has nothing to do with integration.&rdquo;<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"\" class=\"Normale1\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\">The request of everyone is to be part of the normality.

When we are at work we are asked to produce, it doesn&#8217;t matter if we&#8217;re immigrants or not. But a person&#8217;s life doesn&#8217;t end outside of working hours, so, this is the beginning of a struggle and integration, so that the immigrants&rsquo; contribution is recognised in
