Well, this time I don't mean the song..
And its more bitter than sweet, the story I'm going to tell you in this post.
And then again, I might sound a bit contradictory, but, damn! There are some things that are fucked up.
Here we go.
Mexico is a great country, and mexicans are (the most) really nice people, who are proud of their roots, their past, their present and future.
But there's this little thing about us.
A foreign person comes, and recieves a warm welcome, people from all over the world comes to Mexico and decides
"I love this weather, i love the food, and plus everything's cheap! I will live in Mexico"
And what do we do? We let them stay, just like that.
They want to come and work here, and we let them work!
Now I'm going to say I agree with that, It's fine! but..what happens if a mexican wants to go to other country and reside there, or work there?
-And by a mexican, I mean an educated mexican, who has enough studies and qualifications to apply for a job or decide to live somewhere else-
So, what happens? the answer, often is reduced to a "NO".
Why do I say that?
My working permit in France was denied.
My working permit in Norway was denied twice,
I appealed their decision and it was denied once more!
This is ridiculous!
Can the stupid regulations and immigration rules extinguish the interest of someone to go work in another a country?
Actually I'm tired of sending my application to the UDI or Utlendingsdirektoratet once and again, and hear the same story:
"we are sorry but you don't have the minimum age required to apply for the job that has been offered to you"
For real? You think experience and qualifications are measured according to your AGE?
And then again you think there will be tons of mexican chefs over 30 years old fighting to get my job offer?
And even worse, do you think a norwegian (or any other nationality) is the right person to make MEXICAN food?
And answering my own question, No the rules and constant setbacks from the UDI won't stop me.
I'm a professional, I'm qualified and THEY want me to work for them... what else do you fucking need?
And I'm sure there are many others, mexicans and people from other countries who are in the same situation. What if we 'd organize? and fight back?
We welcome everyone in our country who will contribute to our society,
I think we can demand the same for the ones who will enrich they society and culture as well.
God natt folkens!
