Italy-Albania asylum deal: Blueprint for the EU or illegal and unworkable?

Italy has committed to spending €670 million ($730 million) on two migrant processing centers in Albania over the next five years. Rome said that only men from countries considered safe would be taken to Albania, and that they would have to be classified as "non-vulnerable," that is, healthy and not showing signs of having experienced physical violence. The refugees retain their right to apply for asylum, and anyone granted asylum is to be returned to Italian shores.
