Thread: Spain, Mexico ink deal on management of migratory labor

Wonder how this will work? Well, if Spain needs the workers (and doesn't displace their own) this may be a good deal for people of Mexico.

MADRID, June 12 (Xinhua) -- Spain and Mexico signed an agreement on the management of migratory labor Thursday.

The agreement was "an extraordinary example of understanding" between the two governments, visiting Mexican President Felipe Calderon told a joint press conference with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.

Calderon said the deal allows Spanish companies to hire Mexican workers and thus allows the establishment of a mechanism to complement Spanish work force with Mexican professionals.

The two sides also signed a document to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Mexican Independence (from Spain) and the 100thanniversary of the Mexican Revolution.

Meanwhile, representatives from government institutions of the two countries also signed a deal to promote bilateral trade and investment.

The Mexican president arrived here Wednesday for his second state visit to Spain and received a warm welcome by the Spanish King Juan Carlos in the El Pardo Palace.

He will travel to Spain's northern city of Zaragoza on Friday for the opening of the International Expo 2008 and to Barcelona on Saturday.

Professionals--doctors, lawyers, nurses, etc?

Well, if Spain needs the workers (and doesn't displace their own) this may be a good deal for people of Mexico.

No, Jean. This is just another way how to trigger mass immigration. And, moreover, we could expect that these people will spread throughout other EU countries as is the case in the USA so it will affect more countries than only Spain.

Professionals--doctors, lawyers, nurses, etc?

MyAmerica, we should see throughout the brick wall, when the corporate interests and governments talk about "professionals". We shouldn't be cheated by each occasion they are using this sort of rhetorics, should we ?
