Should undocumented workers be regularised?
An undocumented woman has worked in a restaurant for 8 years. Her children go to school here.
- Regularise her: she works and her children belong here
- Case by case, under clear and public criteria
- Return home: the rule must apply to everyone
What's at stake: The debate pits recognising real integration after years of life here against respecting a rule that must apply to everyone.
The left's argument
After years of working here, deporting makes no sense, neither human nor economic.
The centre's argument
Clear, public criteria avoid both arbitrary decisions and mass regularisation.
The right's argument
Regularising people who entered illegally shows that all you have to do is wait long enough.
