Immigration, an Urgent Debate

an Urgent Debate

Let there be a public debate on immigration is not bad news, much less whether what moves us in this debate is the concern about the possible degradation of the model of coexistence. But what must be avoided is clearly seem easy and quick solutions to a problem as complex as the management of immigration. Among other issues because, placed the debate at this point, the game always win those who do not care about damage or democratic principles, much less respect for the rights of individuals. We would do well to avoid prescription socially frowned solutions, easy to use, but social and political consequences unpredictable.

It was said that we had peaked when I was about 6% of the population, was repeated when he was 10%, and said the same when you get to 14%. Furthermore, the management of the inflow is not based on recruitment in origin, but arrived as irregular and then, or extraordinary regularization roots, give them roles.

The Protection of Foreign

Protection of Foreign

We have not advanced much since the French Revolution proclaimed the fraternity as a motto for a more just society, or from Kant expressed the belief that rational cosmopolitanism and universal right of hospitality to foreigners for the advancement of the history and perpetual peace. Unfortunately, the crisis deepens the borders, so that “others” do not compromise the welfare of ‘our’ privileged citizens. We are not even able to ratify international conventions such as the protection of migrant workers and their families adopted by the UN in 1990 and in force since 2003. And we tore their clothes when Haidar fails to return to Morocco for a formal problem-taking “their” nationality that leverage the Moroccan authorities to place it in the limbo of those unable to return home or enter into another, without openly violating Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “Everyone has the right to leave any country including own and to return to their country.” But not to enter a country other than the “self.” Read the rest of this entry »

new immigration law

The world has turned its attention to the State of Arizona (USA), where a new immigration law will promote a general classification of Latino law enforcement purposes according to their racial characteristics.
