MADRID (Reuters) - Spain will offer unemployed immigrant workers financial incentives to return to their countries of origin, labour and immigration minister Celestino Corbacho told newspaper El Pais on Sunday.
A slowing economy has halted Spain's construction boom and building sites are laying off workers, including many from Latin America, North Africa and Eastern Europe.
Corbacho said workers who agree to return will be entitled to receive accumulated unemployment benefits in two lump sums, provided they take their families with them and commit not to return to Spain for at least three years........

heres an idea! Why not bring out an immigration tax to send more of them home . I'm well aware of the British government supposed bribes to immigrants already but I bet most of us would gladly pay an immigration tax more than say a green tax or a congestion charge!
