People talk as a pool of blood stains the road where an immigrant from Ghana went on a rampage with a pickaxe in Milan at dawn Saturday, May11, 2013 killing a passerby and wounding four others in an apparently random attack, police said. The attack, which police say was the work of an illegal immigrant with a criminal record, immediately fueled a political debate raging for years over whether Italy should crack down harder on immigrants or facilitate their path toward citizenship, as recently lobbied for by Italy’s first black Cabinet minister, who had immigrated from Congo. Carabinieri paramilitary police in Milan said the 21-year-old attacker was taken into custody shortly after the attacks in a residential area on the northern outskirts of the city.

In this Feb. 22, 2013 photo, a sign and plastic flower mark the Falfurrias, Texas grave for the unidentified remains of a suspected illegal immigrant discovered in South Texas. The death of migrants crossing the Southwest border has long been a tragic consequence of illegal immigration and, many say, the massive increase in U.S. border enforcement. For some, the tragedies are a powerful motivator in pushing Congress to act this year on a larger immigration reform package. (AP Photo/Eric Gay)
