The first foreign country that Christian Bueno-Galdos ever traveled to was the U.S., where he moved when he was 7. The second was Iraq, where he was killed this month serving under the U.S. flag.
"Italy's conservative prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has sought to deflect criticism of Italy's harsh immigration policies by stressing potential migrants are welcome in his country. In an interview posted to the US television network CNN's website on Monday, he said immigrants who qualified to come to Italy should be allowed to work and create a better life for themselves and their families.
"We welcome those (immigrants) who have the right to come here. This is what the United States and all normal countries do," Berlusconi told CNN.
