Children of thousand milk

They came from all parts attracted by a fiction that we had created in the Spain of the excessive policy of economic development of the brick and of the tourism. Spain was absorbing in a decade five million foreigners attracted by an Eldorado as fragile as any mirage. What this invasion represented was much more important than we have wanted to recognize. Thousands of Spaniards, subject to the tradition of the man bringing the money to a house where it handcuffs one family mother was living subject to “your Works” (S.L). since it was appearing in the pigeonhole of “profession“ of the previous generation, they could go out to look for work out of house.

The immigrants, especially the South American women, have relieved the tasks of the hearth or the care of the patients and major than a class Spanish average - fall, have improved I appraised it of birthrate of our country, they have allowed the business creation that they did not exist earlier in Spain: restaurants of exotic kitchen, shops of products of other grounds, African hairdressing salons, language instruction, national schools, extra-bank services for transferences, booths, agencies, travel agencies, etc …

We have received more people of out in 10 years that the one that has remained without work in the last 2 years. Not all those who have gone away to the unemployment are those who were coming from the immigration. Of this, some Europeans of the East have returned to his countries making use that receive from Brussels funds for the development. South American and African few ones have returned to his ground. They have stuck to the area with us and bear the soaker. The Spanish we have lived through very hard episodes between 1936 and 1964 and when we have emigrated have got over the storms that threw us.

The xenophobia is not a Spanish characteristic. We are ourselves thousand progeny crossings although we have tendency to get obsessed with the purities of blood, the negative RH or the identities. We are children of thousand milk. And there are the "half-breads", puerblood miscellany, which have created the splendid modern Brazil. The emigrant usually triumphs because it is capable of doing in strange ground what it would never dare to realize, for false shame, in its own ground. It sticks to the area like a limpet because he does not want to return conquered to his village. They do not come to take jobs from the others and yes they represent a loss of valuable citizens in his fatherlands if they do not return to collaborate in his development.

The surveys are clear. Spain is more xenophobic than it was presumed. The first crisis appears and already salt the hate towards the meteco. Nazi seemed monstrous to us the theories and it surprised us that so many Germans, educated people where they are, were approving extermination laws to a madman called Adolf Hitler. In when there appears a crisis that puts in danger the jobs, this circumstance is imputed to the foreigners. In some places, like Salt (Girona), the presence of 43 % of foreigners in a population of 35.000 inhabitants, believe problems because the social services (health and education), they turn out to be unable to absorb them and, what is worse, of educating them properly so that the high percentages do not coincide with the public school while the private roads and compound ones escape from the wished crossbreeding. Like that are born the ghettos.
