” “The request for "dramatic changes" in the immigration law, because "excessive bureaucracy favours exploitation by mafia networks", comes today from the Forum of Catholic Organisations for Immigration (Forcim) of Portugal, also due to the new bill of law that is being developed by the Portuguese Government, as reported by the Catholic agency "Ecclesia". "The immigrants’ legalisation process says father Valentim Gonçalves, from the Forum, which brings together the main Catholic organisations that work in this field, including the Portuguese branch of Caritas, the ethnic chantries, the Jesuit service for refugees must avoid the bureaucratic filters that make their life difficult and favour exploitation by the mafia". The Forum, among other things, is critical of the current immigrants’ quota system, "which has turned out to be ineffective".” “
