Iran Press/ Europe: Meloni, head of the nationalist Brothers of Italy, led an alliance of conservative parties to victory at a Sept. 25 election.
Her far-right Brothers of Italy party is a part of a coalition that has made reducing immigration a key part of their agenda.
African descents believe that Italy's new far-right government is going to create a lot of negative impacts on the lives of migrants.
Italy is one of the main entry points into Europe and since the start of the year, 70,000 migrants have arrived on boats on the country's shores.
Meloni wants to tighten the system for asylum seekers to choke off this irregular migration, which she says threatens the security and quality of life of its citizens.
She also wants to increase repatriations, target charity ships that rescue migrants who get into trouble during the Mediterranean crossing, and has called for a naval blockade of North Africa.
If Meloni makes good on her promises, it will be more difficult for migrants to make their status official.
