ILLEGAL WORKERS AND SYMPTOMS ACCORDING TO NEED Engin Erkiner

ILLEGAL WORKERS AND ASSYMERS DEPENDING ON NEED

Engin Erkiner

Western States' policies on illegal workers and refugees vary depending on need. If there is a need for workers, the asylum door is opened and applications are easily accepted. Illegal workers are not caught. When the need ends, the hunt for illegal workers begins and asylum applications are often rejected.

 To give two examples:

1980 in Paris In the 1990s, Turks were generally employed in the garment industry. Some of them were on paper and some were illegal. There are two important seasons in apparel: summer and winter. Sewing of summer season clothes starts in spring, and winter season will start in summer. Cheap labor is necessary, illegal or illegal, it doesn't matter. French police stay away from garment workshops during these months

When the seasons end, raids begin, fugitives are caught and deported.

They will be replaced by new ones.

Since the behavior of the French police is known, illegal workers prefer not to work in the workshop when the season ends and work decreases.

The second example is from Switzerland.

In the early 1990s, many asylum applications were easily accepted. There was a shortage of personnel in the country, especially in the service sector. In those years, workers in Switzerland were largely immigrants. Swiss workers were scarce.


Turks and Kurds were coming in large numbers illegally. The typical route to Switzerland was via Italy. The smuggler network was bringing the person to this country and dropping him off. Everyone who came had someone they knew in Switzerland. The familiar person came with his car and they crossed into Switzerland through small border gates where there was little control in the towns, and then an asylum application was made.


The majority of those who came were people who had no political problems in Turkey. They were generally revolutionary sympathizers, and there were also a few MHP members among them. They were also applying for asylum as members of one revolutionary organization or another. The network fee was 8-10 thousand DM.


< p>I asked one of the people who came: "You could have opened a business in the country with this money, why did you come?" “The country is going to a bad place. There is no future. We said let's come while we have the chance..."


< span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">These people would work at any job they could find, save money, build apartments in their villages or towns, and compete with each other. “He sewed three layers, I sew four layers…”


In those years in Switzerland, the relationship between refugees and workers who had been living and working in the country for a long time was not like in Germany. There was no clear distinction between these two groups in Germany, but there was in Switzerland.

The extent to which immigrants will become politicized It depends on the politics in the country.


The important reason why immigrants in Germany are more political and those in Switzerland are less political is the weakness of the political struggle in the second country.

The Swiss bourgeoisie and police also want this.

< br>

Germany is designated as a “police state”. This determination is correct to some extent. Germans who have seen Switzerland also call this country a "police state".

You can understand the situation from here. span>
