I think to understand the unfair and inhumane Tremeda the Aliens Act is not working so great speeches as showing the consequences in particular in the lives of people. One of the consequences that impact me the most are the removal orders. I am no expert on this, so forgive me if I fall into some inaccuracy, but the story would be more or less as follows:
imagine the long journey of migrating from a village in Senegal to Bilbao. Not normally migrate in one step: the process usually involves migration within the country or region, pausing to work and save money for the trip, a stay in a detention center for foreigners (CIE) in the Canary Islands, wander through different provinces ... Finally, perhaps years after leaving their village, the migrant is based in Bilbao.
was registered and since then need to spend three years in an irregular situation (hence, working in the underground economy unable to reunite with family and denied almost all their rights) to arrange a residence permit and work demonstrating the social roots, virtually the only way left for migrants to regularize their situation.
imagine that when something has registered more than two years and is already taking steps to apply for a job, finds a raid by Immigration brigade of National Police, in collaboration with the municipal police of municipalities like Bilbao Barakaldo or the . The National Police will open an order of expulsion, which involves the risk of being transferred to a CIE (now over later than 40 days, but with the reform of the law will be 60) or be repatriated.
For Euskadi, it is usual that the order is not executed. This means that the person will live with us but with a heavy burden on their backs. First, you must add a minimum of 5 years in an irregular situation (three no-entry into the country and two to be prescribed by the order), ie virtually no rights. Second, you feel the pressure that involves the threat of being repatriated or moved to a CIE at any time.
At this point it should be noted that being undocumented is not a criminal but an administrative violation comparable to a traffic ticket. However, we see that punishment is not a penalty, but three quite disproportionate consequences: the deportation, detention in a CIE (in prison almost regimen) or be doomed to erratic for another five years.
Things can get even uglier. On the one hand, some people accumulate deportation orders. On the other hand, there is the issue of criminal records. One of the requirements to be regularized through the social ties it is no criminal record. Imagine that this immigrant from Senegal, like many others, makes a living winning CDs. The police stopped and accused an offense against intellectual property. Until there is a ruling favorable to the accused or prescribed by the offense, it will prevent access to a residence and work permit.
Integration (I repatea concept) is in any case a process that demands reciprocity. You can not integrate into a society that recognizes you and respects you, you without the right of which is to live for up to more than a decade.
I do not know how you see it, but to me this seems shocking. I've been lucky enough to face this reality by knowing the members of the platform for the rights of migrants Mbolo Doole Moy. Senegalese are mostly irregular, many of them street vendors affected by criminalizing the sale of CDs and DVDs as a crime.
One of his major fights, as I told another time as seen in the photo, is protest the jailing of a fellow which has already been 4 months in prison for carrying CDs in the pack. Are also being organized so that when one of them is arrested the rest they learn and organize to support and make a public denunciation. Finally, with the help of colleagues in the Law Commission of SOS Racism, are being trained to understand their rights, with regard to issues such as deportation orders. I am proud and I am full of confidence y esperanza conocer a personas así, que ante la adversidad optan por apoyarse las unas a las otras y organizarse. Aunque el Gobierno les niegue ese estatus, ellos sí que son ciudadanos ejemplares.
