Spain leads the way for Europe on migration
Spain is leading the way for a humane and common-sense approach to immigration. In 2005, the government allowed illegal immigrants to regularise their status, giving them the right to work legally.
Now, it is encouraging employers to recruit temporary workers from Africa in a bid to discourage Africans from risking their lives trying to reach Spain piled high on flimsy boats. A delegation of Spanish employers arrives in Senegal today to recruit labour for construction work and the summer harvest, the FT reports.
Ideally, borders should be open. But if that is not possible for now, opening up a legal route for migrants to come work is a big step forward.
God, you are so painfully dense!
So Spain has decided to commit suicide, really, whats that got to do with economics? Do you think a shortage of low IQ, low skill labour is a problem anywhere in the western world?
