I'm sure they have checked their records and realized that they are of good behaviours, that's why they are taking this step.

We are all immigrants but it must be done legally. We all owned land but now land ownership must be done legally. So Trump is for legality thats the difference.

The Spanish government is granting them legal status.
Thats legal.

Do you have immigrant-phobia ?

They just opened the flood gate in abundance for terrorists.

Trump was right after all. I don't understand how they reward illegals with such delight but if you are a legal migrant, you will have to go through hell to get quarter of whatever these illegals are getting. Its more of the same across Western Europe.
y'all should quit being intellectually lazy, what hard fact do you have to support your hollow argument that all immigrants are terrorists other than the toxic anti- immigrants rhetorics ignorantly spewed by far right politicians like Trump, what's even your definition of terrorism BTW? Nelson Mandela was once labelled a terrorist by the apartheid regime in the past, on the other hand Nathanyahu who murdered 60kplus women and children is regarded as a hero by some Americans, immigrants are the backbone of many economies in Europe and Spain recognizing that has just set lofty heights for others to follow so they can checkmate immigrants exploitations while pulling them into their tax nets

Except they are selective about the nationals.

Nigerians always represent well. No act of terrorisms
From the article, it shows that the undocumented migrants, who will benefit, are likely going to be from former Spanish colonies in Latin America who have a huge population in Spain already.

I doubt Africans would get a look in, considering how competitive the whole thing would be.

The key word is "welfare" state. Europe is running a welfare state.

They have outsourced their defence to the US

Their jobs to India

Their manufacturing to China


It looks like some WEF experiment at the moment. I just hope it ends well for everyone

Thats their choice. A govt can choose not to and thats the law that must be followed.

Immigrant-phobia is a sly form of bigotry and prejudice.
Exactly what he is saying.

They may be granting it to people like you.

That is why he is warning them.

If Spain gives them the document, they can move into other nations. Usually efforts and funds are to be given to Spain and Italy to manage illegal immigrants. If those funds ain’t enough, then they can as well issue documents to the illegal immigrants, whose final destination has never been Spain grin

Land of the free indeed. So that they can impose an outdated and barbaric religion on the Spanish people, right?

Omo, if you can find yourself way to Spain, now is the time. All those telling you you shouldn't Japaare not being sincere with you. Nobody is abandoning Nigeria, but create options for yourself. Even you president is gloves trotting and has second and even third citizenship but remember o, if you are the lazy type, ignore this encouragement cos me I wont come and lie for you that Japa is paradise. It is simply just leverage.

I don't know if you people think properly. Limitless immigration is dangerous for a country in the long run. Countries should allow immigrants in based on specific needs of the host. For a country like Spain, their cultures will be eroded faster in 20years

Though I understand your point, it is has a slight error, since his father was not an immigrant. His father was born in New York to immigrant German parents. His mother, who was born in Scotland, was an immigrant. Anyone born in America is not an immigrant.

If you are not a native red Indian in America. You are an immigrant.

Sir, I disagree. I have friends who have been here for over 20 generations. They are no longer immigrants. They are deep in the soil. Their ancestors built the whole city they reside in (in the south) and they have history for centuries. They are the real Americans. No one was called an American before the Europeans got here. They were just tribal folks who hadn't established any sort of country here. Can you deport these so-called "immigrants"? Absolutely not, for they belong here. It is not semantics at all.

You’re mixing up having a modern country with actually belonging to a land. People don’t need a European-style nation with flags and borders to be real or legitimate. Before Europeans arrived, Native people already had their own lands, leaders, rules, trade, alliances, and wars. That’s a society. Calling them “just tribes” uses European standards to dismiss cultures that already worked on their own terms.

And if being somewhere a long time is what makes someone truly belong, then Native people,who lived here for thousands of years,have a stronger claim than anyone whose family arrived a few hundred years ago. The word “American” comes from the land, not from Europe. Europeans didn’t create belonging here; they took over a place that already had people. You can’t change the definition after you arrive and use it to exclude those who were already there.
