Morocco's State Secretary in charge of Family, Childhood and the Disabled, Yasmina Baddou, voiced her government's determination to strengthen the fight against the illegal employment and migration of minors, ANSA reported on Thursday (April 26th). Speaking at a workshop in Rabat on illegal immigration, Baddou stressed that "strong political commitment is necessary" in this direction. She said her department's 2006-2016 national plan comprises a series of measures, including a plan to reintegrate these children socially, and media campaigns aimed at raising children's awareness of the risks posed by illegal migration.

In my opinion, before implementing a law there should be a consideration of an alternative. For fighting illegal immigration: in order to fight illegal immigration we have to understand first the cause of immigration, why do young people immigrate, most of them immigrate to find a source of living and build a future. This is a problem to which a solution must be found for instance signing deals with foreign companies or with companies to set up their projects in the country in order to offer jobs for the unemployed and thus young people will stop immigration instead of going into prisons, no one wishes death for himself but no one can stay doing nothing without a prosperous future or even a simple and stable job. This is just a simple speculation, thank you.
