Pakistani Migration in Madrid: Still Unknown

Abstract

Pakistani immigration in Madrid is not recent, as Chinese immigration, but it is largely unknown. They settled themselves in Madrid during the economic boom of the nineties. Its main feature is its high degree of integration in Madrid and its metropolitan area. Under the guidelines of the EU and in particular through the Stockholm Programme, the integration policies for immigrants show the pattern for the creation of a space of freedom, justice and security in Europe, which ultimately is the goal sought by the Pakistanis when they try to establish themselves in our continent
