Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : Illegal immigration has become a major issue of the election campaign for Meloni's ally Matteo Salvini, who again visited the island of Lampedusa, which has become repeatedly overwhelmed due to illegal immigrant arrivals this year.
63% : Social conservative Brothers of Italy (FdI) leader Giorgia Meloni has launched the party's election manifesto promising to support "Made in Italy" goods, halt illegal immigration, and support the country's birth rates.
63% :Meloni's Brothers of Italy are in agreement with Salvini on illegal immigration and also wish to greatly reduce the number of new arrivals, according to the party manifesto, which highlights the relationship between immigration and crime in Italy, particularly drug trafficking.
38% :Meloni has previously called for a naval blockade to stop illegal migrant crossings of the Mediterranean Sea, saying, "Brothers of Italy are proposing a naval blockade because, as we have explained a thousand times, it is a matter of a European mission in agreement with North African states to stop -- alongside them -- human trafficking and to set up in African territory hotspots managed alongside the European Union to assess asylum requests and distinguish between those who have a right to asylum and international protection from those who do not."
