Save "the sons of migration"
How much money in your pocket?, "Our family is more united or divided
?," We are happy in this experience immigration?.
Most who entered Europe before the visa in April 2007 and have almost completed the phase of adaptation to new environments and are in the process of discovering new horizons, or of falling into the routine of almost an entire work week and a few hours of real or artificial joy.
After paying the "dues" (sacrifice of the "new"), to realize that friends or "buddies" are not real and that the less we thought we reached out, we wonder if all this was worth it. ROOT BOLIVIA
In this year we heard testimonies of the most sensitive part of the migration phenomenon: the family.
On the one hand, perhaps minor, is the satisfaction of having paid the debts, secured the education of children and realize that our partners are the love of our life and missing only a few months for us to return home or they come to Europe, after completing extensive paperwork.
On the other hand, ever increasing, it is not only geographical distance but of time and duration calls to the couples or the children, instead of saying "Happy Birthday" or "Merry Christmas", ask for more money to show off to their peers.
The "love triangles" in many cases have become "quads" and increasingly confirm the phrase "love from afar, happy four" and "the money from the migrant keeps the other three." But it is also very concerned about the violence cony
UGAL between husbands and couples living in Europe. While
migrated from Bolivia 50 years ago (there are now over three million overseas), this new phase of migration is further complicated by the distance to the Old World and the new tough immigration laws that make it even more difficult to integrate. If you feel hostility here, there is no guarantee of being welcomed in our own country.
The victims of this phenomenon are our children. The distance education does not always work and fill them with gifts not to supplant the maternal or paternal love. Pampering is bad, but to be indifferent or too drastic is also negative, even more so in the distance.
The child always keep a secret reproach for the "abandonment" of their parents and will always be a void within the family concept. Several gangs in Bolivia are integrated for migrant children and school performance is not the best.
So 2009 should be a year destined to achieve family unity. With couples, it is vital the sincerity of the feelings and the children we must regain the role of parents. The "sons of migration" we need. • Edwin Perez

PROBLEMS FOR THE ROOTS AND FAMILY REUNION
Bolivians will be most affected because the regularization n by roots will be more difficult if the requirement of three years goes to five years, while family reunification is to be restricted to close family ties.
These topics were discussed in the "First Day on Bolivian migration process. Return Policy: advantages and disadvantages for the Bolivian group "held on 18 and 19 December at the Museum of America. Participants

Most Bolivians in Spain are women. Many work as maids, caretakers, etc, with or without papers, ie they may or may not be Social Security. There are women entrepreneurs who, despite contributions by the General, they will not be eligible for the capitalizació No, not as autonomous or as domestic workers, but also are going to be difficulties in renewing their roles if the Unemployment rate is maintained. The Director of CIE
hinted that the reason for these centers is to keep illegal immigrants located. The moderator of Forol, Phaedra Chavez said there is concern about stigma compatriots to be the subject of an expulsion or having undergone an ICD, as having always been honest citizens do not understand why deprive them of liberty. This situation leads them to go from work to home and Yolanda Villavicencio
vicecersa called for the unity of all Bolivians.
The Strategic Plan for Citizenship and Integration is a site that associations, as the voice of our partners can take, we believe this may be a way. But cross it, we call on all Bolivians, without exception, as it has become clear that very dark cloud looming over 2009.
's work for those who are undocumented and may not be renewed by passing the ranks of the unemployed, for those who fight for their residence permits, for not clearly see what to do and even those who are thinking of coming under these conditions. We believe that we must act in coordination. We hope to participate, Bolivian or foreign to our nationality, with their views and experiences in writing a written statement as a first step to make our voice heard in a desire to integrate into the host society in collaboration with friendly associations, intellectuals, groups and even our own government.
. We understand that there comes a time when this is unsustainable and therefore, in a joint activity of the Platform Pro Bolivia with the House of America were invited to participate, as individuals, as well as associations have been made in Bolivia and the press these days, the II Symposium on Bolivian migration process "dignified", "frustration or opportunity? , On February 13, 2009. • Edwin Perez

2009 will be more complicated because, with the deepening of the crisis No, work will intensify competition not only with other Bolivian and Latin, but with Europe Eastern now are part of the European Union and, therefore, acquired more rights than undocumented.

"They depreciate further wage workers and more victims are undocumented Bolivians," said the union, stating that since 2008 there were worrying signs of what will happen in a globalized world that requires greater competition within the so-called "dumping" in favor of the employee wage and employee Latino. Guarín
said the crisis is also felt that many of the Latinos in Switzerland want to travel to Spain to work, building with documents, while others seek to enter Switzerland, where the economy is stronger, but do not have residence permits or employees respectively.
said that the magnitude of the problems created ADETRE subsidiaries in Spain to defend the interests of workers and their union leaders to solve problems, with the active participation of workers and employees themselves, not paternalism.
"If no amicable settlement and, if needed supported by our central organization in Geneva, we will with governments and employers' organizations, "he said.
Guarín said other services offered is information for the validation of English and Latin American titles in Switzerland and vice versa for that professionals have more sources different to work and not simply act as workers. Your e-mail is info @ ADETRE . org
