The signatories then explain the reasons and contents of the proposal.
Reasons
“The psychological, social and economic costs of the paralysis of social and economic life that we have been forced to combat Coronavirus are dramatic and for all to see. It is urgent to move on to phase 2 as soon as possible but after 6 weeks of social distancing. the decline of the new positives, and especially of the deaths, still appears too slow, especially in the Lombardy region, which is the productive heart of the country and also, by far, the region most affected with more than 50 percent of the deaths.
It has recently been pointed out that the presence of hundreds of thousands of irregular and “invisible” migrants can be a serious problem in this situation. According to the most recent estimates (ISPI, 2020), approximately 600,000 irregular migrants generally live in many small homes and, even in the case of illness, delay contact with doctors unless they are in really serious conditions. An ISFOL survey (2014) highlights how most of them work outside the agricultural sector (13.6% are craftsmen, skilled workers or farmers and 72.6% carry out unskilled professions that include carers, domestic workers and small businesses in large urban centers) . There are no estimates of their regional distribution but it is entirely presumable that they are concentrated to a greater extent in the regions with the greatest economic activity in the country which are also the most affected (in Lombardy, applying the percentages of regular migrants, irregular ones would be at least 100,000). It is therefore quite clear that the presence of a large number of illegal immigrants in the areas most at risk today makes the probability of success of the administration of health tests, tracking and mass monitoring necessary to ensure the success of the phase highly uncertain. two. In parallel, with the gradual reopening of economic activities, irregular people risk being one of the major risk factors in the emergence of new outbreaks “.”In addition to these straightforward health reasons – the text continues – it is well known that illegal immigrants constitute a potential labor force for crime with risks that increase when, at times like these, decent living conditions are further precluded. from an economic point of view it has been underlined several times how irregular and low-skilled immigrant workers would steal employment opportunities from Italian workers and would lead to lower competition on the cost of labor which ends up worsening dignity of work and living conditions even for low-skilled Italian workers The sudden scarcity of foreign seasonal workers following the closure of the borders for the pandemic has shown that labor markets are not actually so flexible as to suggest an easy replacement between Italian and foreign workers, far from tasks and localization. workers s in this case, foreigners would have a potential double benefit. Making it easier for those who are already in our country to move between different areas and, through amnesty and regularization, to reduce those conditions of poor dignity and precariousness which unfortunately make the work of irregular immigrants more “competitive” than that of workers Italians who do not accept those conditions.
In principle, as claimed by our country’s political forces, the undocumented could be deported. Recent data show, however, that even in the political season in which the Interior Minister strongly supported this strategy, the “results” of return policies have not been significant. The mass expulsion of illegal immigrants has proved impractical for several reasons (burdensome overall costs of identification and transfer to the countries of origin, difficulty in entering into agreements with the countries of origin). Much less can it be thought to be practicable to thwart the aforementioned health risks in a short time and at a difficult time like this.
In conclusion, not only humanitarian reasons, but also health, security, economic and social reasons suggest the opportunity for the regularization of illegal immigrants following a path already traced by the Portuguese government “.
Contents and legislative form
“Finding the basis in these reasons – the petitioners still maintain – we therefore propose to extend the regularization of irregular migrants to all other productive sectors besides the agricultural one. The suggested way is that of an amnesty by means of a declaration from an employer that allows to obtain a temporary residence and work permit which, once the emergency phase is over, will be subject to the procedure envisaged for these types of permits. In this way, albeit to a limited extent, the regularization will be able to contribute with the payment of contributions to the funding of the huge public spending commitment necessary to overcome this crisis.
To make our proposal operational, it would be necessary to modify the draft decree currently under discussion in the Labor Commission which limits this possibility to the agriculture, fisheries and forestry sectors by extending the measure to other productive sectors. Furthermore, given that the regularization is primarily for reasons of public health, it is necessary to issue a residence permit for asylum to all foreigners in conditions of illegal residence, according to art. 11 Presidential Decree 394/1999 and art. 10 of the Constitution, providing that it can be used immediately to register with the NHS and the Employment Center and to access social assistance benefits. Humanitarian motivations are often not enough to convince us to make progress towards civil progress. However, it would be a serious mistake for our political class not to take those steps when they meet, as in this case, with reasons of convenience and opportunity “.
