Law Advices and Legal Tips

If we analyze the management of immigration policy of recent years and debates about this phenomenon, we see that almost always based on two false premises: that immigration had peaked and that in the future, come in smaller amounts and only those they had papers. 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. No flow was planned, but the flow is regulated according to the word of mouth, and labor demand. Only with the Minister Caldera worked at a sufficient pace of recruitment in origin. No political group dared to acknowledge that the falling birth rate, economic growth and the negative part of the population to have access to certain occupations would lead to this massive influx.
WELL, nor was the debate over what kind of immigration we hired at source or, as it did in other parts of Europe, if I chose the communities they settled in their own neighborhoods or if the host was on a planned policy to distribute immigration . Building ghetto neighborhoods would be a mistake. But it was a mistake not to plan your arrival, which, though the old town with its population without rehabilitating buildings, as is the case of Vic-or neighborhoods on the peripheries of large cities, as has happened in the Salt- welcomed. In both cases, the immigrants became the majority, making the native population is not only stranger feel at home, but also in public services unassisted, as the government responded poorly to the new requirements. Immigration, which was the solution to the demographic problem is not a problem in itself, but has mismanaged having problems that can only be resolved one by one.
The prototype of the neighbor who is tempted by the siren song that launched the Platform for Catalonia xenophobic is the one who bought an apartment for years, and with the sudden arrival of large numbers of immigrants to the neighborhood, see how, in addition to the difficulties coexistence because of the habits of some immigrants, their home is devalued and worth one third less. The law of neighborhoods of the Parliament of Catalonia has puffed and dignified some of these neighborhoods, but most still waiting.
One of the main grievances of the residents of these districts the highest rate of immigration is the insecurity and impunity for those who repeatedly commit petty crimes and thefts. In 2003 he introduced a reform in the Penal Code and the Foreigners Act which provided for an almost automatic deportation of those aliens who have imposed a sentence of up to six years or even, while not being judged, commit a crime penalties of up to six years. The reforms were widely criticized, it granted impunity to the criminals, who knew that when the police stop, would be sent home without any condemnation. Fortunately, the Supreme Court annulled the automatic expulsion. That same year another reform was introduced more logical than by government apathy, has not been implemented. It is the consideration of anyone who commits the crime of four times the same fault, which would end impunity in robberies or thefts. In the hands of those responsible for Justice, not the Interior, is your solution.
OTHER coexistence conflicts must be resolved through mediation and enforcement of municipal ordinances, and punishing those who violate. No use in the proposed integration contracts CiU and the PP, since it is not to sign a document, but, every day, comply with the law. Are difficult to solve short term problems of coexistence with the Roma in Romania. Legally, they are EU citizens, but this group is reluctant to abandon their perception of nomadic life.
There is another important tool that seems forgotten in this debate on the integration of immigrants, as one where you feel integrates participant. Is on the right to vote in municipal elections: Romanian citizens to be community, not only can vote, but also be in the charts. Most Americans, for reciprocal agreements, they can vote, but did not attend as candidates. Those from non-EU Eastern Europe, Africans and Asians, not vote or be elected.
This will create an inequality of treatment which will help build social cohesion that can only be resolved by reforming the reciprocity requirements imposed by the Constitution. Finally, it is important not to criminalize undocumented immigrants, because when so much is because Spain chose as the main arrival of irregular migration.
