PSOE, Sumar and Coalición Canaria have registered this Monday in Congress the bill to reform the Immigration Law, which aims to establish a binding distribution of unaccompanied migrant minors among different autonomous communities from areas with saturated resources.
The proposal modifies article 35 of the Immigration Law in order to establish the distribution of these minors to the rest of the regions when a territory exceeds 150% of its reception capacity, a text that seeks to provide a solution to the almost 6,000 foreign minors currently hosted in the Canary Islands.
The Minister of Youth and Childhood, Sira Rego, together with the head of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, and the President of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, have attended the registration of the legislative initiative, which, for the moment, does not have the support of the Popular Parliamentary Group.
"What the PP does is very important," acknowledged Rego, who has asked the Popular Party to stand "by the side of children" to facilitate the reform and not continue to maintain the "ultra policies" implemented in their local and regional governments.
