Interior & Police Minister Franklin Almeyda says that the ruling for the implementation of the Law of Migration is on President Fernandez’s desk. He said that the ruling was passed by the National Council of Migration, which is chaired by Almeyda. “President Fernandez wanted a second meeting of the National Council of Migration, but this did not happen after the earthquake in Haiti,” he said, as reported in Hoy.<\/p>\n
Almeyda was responding to recent criticism from journalist Orlando Gil who said that the minister had delayed pushing ahead the ruling and the implementation of the new law given a generalized laissez-faire attitude in the Fernandez administration to immigration.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, another story in Hoy quotes a spokesman for a construction workers union in Villa Mella, Sabana Perdida and La Victoria (Sinatrape) as saying that they would seek ways for the law that establishes that only 20% of employees can be foreign to be enforced. Carlos Terrero called for the Department of Migration to act against the prevalence of Haitian construction workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
