We doubt if this
will ever happen in practice as nation leaders desperate for cheap
labour will soon give them 'documentation'...
Spain believes the
newly-approved EU law on the repatriation of undocumented immigrants is
"necessary" at a time when unemployment is on the rise in the country,
a top official said Wednesday.
Spanish
Deputy Prime Minister Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vegatold the press
that "we are going to hire less immigrants" as the total job
opportunities continue to decline.
Those
undocumented immigrants in Spain will have to leave the country
according to the new EU immigration law, known as the "Return
Directive," and the Spanish government assures they will receive all
their salaries before leaving for their home countries, de la Vega
said.
The European Parliament approved the "Return Directive" on June18, ordering the expulsion of undocumented immigrants in Europe. If they do not leave the bloc within a period of seven to 30 days, they may face up to 18 months in jail. The law, which could come into force in 2010, has drawn widespread and strong criticism from Latin America. According
to Spain's official statistics, some 424,500 people lost their
jobs during the one-year period starting June 2007, and the
hardest hit sectors are the construction industry, agriculture and
service industry, which provide jobs to the largest percentage of
undocumented immigrants.
