Vallejarian Immigration Policies

Vallejar's migration policies, both regarding emigration and immigration, are generally stipulated in the Vallejarian constitution, and more specifically in the country's migration laws. Vallejar's immigration has always been a controversial issue due to the extensive controls typically required for regular entry into the country, with some international organizations even labeling them as racist and xenophobic.

Migration History of Vallejar

Vallejar's migration history is diverse. Like in most nations worldwide, migration has always been subject to political, social, economic changes, wars, and the well-being of the population and national prosperity. Vallejar has not been a significant immigrant-receiving country since the colonial era, except for the last decade of the 2030s, during which it has received a record number of immigrants. Typically, immigrants arriving in Vallejar have the following motivations:

• Seeking a better quality of life
• Economic security (Vallejar being a medium-sized, diversified economy with low taxes)
• Legal security
• Physical security
• Investment in a developing economy
• Receiving government bonuses for rural area development
• Among many others

Colonial Era

During the Pelaxian domination era, migration movements focused on attracting Pelaxians seeking better opportunities, escaping poverty and wars, as well as Pelaxian soldiers with the mission of maintaining control over the area. According to various sources, the number of Pelaxians who arrived in the area now comprising Vallejar ranged from 100,000 to 350,000 during the entire colonial era, enough to spread their culture, language (from which Spanish derived), and customs through imposition.

War of Independence

During the war of independence, unlike what would be considered normal, i.e., population migration abroad, only 23,000 migrants were recorded during the 11 years of independence war against Pelaxia. Even the number of immigrants to Vallejar was higher, with about 57,500 people, mostly Vallejarian soldiers and foreigners who would fight for Vallejar (although the data may not be exact due to the difficult situation of the time and the loss of civil, military, and municipal records).

Present Day

Today, migration data is much more controlled than in the past, as security, coexistence, and the economy have become major concerns for both the population and the state. Controls are exhaustive and thorough, as "awareness of today's world and the opportunities it presents" is evident. Additionally, the influx of migrants at the borders has compelled the government to invest more in the Vallejarian army's border control department.
