“Uruguay is suffering great economic losses because our doors are closed to immigration,” says an editorial in La Manana, semi-official Government organ and one of the most influential newspapers in the country.
The newspaper urges the Government to regularize the immigration on problem in a manner which would permit the entry of useful and productive immigrants. “We do not need any traders, but we do need land workers and qualified laborers if we want to bring life into the wild and uncultivated areas of Uruguay,” the editorial states.
