As Italians vote in national elections Sunday, many of them share the migration-skeptic swagger of the right-wing leaders of Sesto San Giovanni. Sesto San Giovanni has volunteered its crackdown on migrants as a blueprint. Mayor Roberto Di Stefano has led a campaign to get tough on migrants in his town.
