#1 How about cracking down on the traffickers instead?

#2 Perhaps it is due to the crackdown that they are just getting a better handle on the number of illegal immigrants flowing into their country.

Also, as in our own country, if the number of deportations has increased, a good number of those probably just come right back in again.

It would have been a better article if the reporter had given us some idea of how the ratio of deportations to entering illegals impacts the overall number of illegal immigrants.

#3 About the only thing that might help is for an Italian naval response. Actively patrol for unauthorized ships, then tow illegal ships back to their native waters before disabling them, so they cannot be used for that purpose again without major repairs.

The Vatican doesn't have anything to do with what the Italian government does, except the limited influence of any other sovereign state.

As for the US and Canada, blame the bishops, especially the USCCB. The Vatican can remove bishops for limited reasons (say, straying from dogma or financial mismanagement), but they don't really have any direct control of a diocese's 'pastoral duties'.
