European Parliament

The immigrants without papers that are stopped in European ground will be able to happen up to 18 months retained in internamiento centers while its expulsion is transacted. They could be stopped with a mere administrative order and once expelled they will not be able to return to the European Union in five years. The smaller immigrants of 18 years accompanied could not be repatriates. He has been overwhelming the power of the right that today governs in many of the European States, as well as the ductility of not few Socialists. The text has received the support of the European popular group and the liberal ones. The Socialists have voted divided.

Green and the Left Unitarian has voted against. Of to have approved some of the amendments presented/displayed by the Socialists, they would have left blocked 676 million Euros of the European Bottom of Return for period 2008-2013. The Governments want that money to finance part of their expenses of repatriation of immigrants, reason why they had pressed the deputies so that they gave green light him. There it hurts and it constitutes the heel to him of Aquilles of Europe of Merchants, instead of to affirm Europe of the citizens. Jacques Delors, ex- president of the European Commission and Michel Rocard, ex- prime minister of France and deputy in the European Parliament made their opinion public. They affirmed that Europe must respect the essential rights of without papers. The phenomenon of the international migrations and the problems of the welcome, the integration and the statute of the immigrants and the refugees are particularly sensible and complex subjects. We are conscious of the difficulty that entails to determine in this land pragmatic an European policy before the social and economic situation of the States of the Union, that is accepted by the public opinion and that, at the same time, is deeply respectful with the fundamental dignity and liberties of those who try to reach a better life in Europe.
