Spain Offers a Path to Regularize the Status of 500,000 Undocumented Migrants and Asylum Seekers, Choosing a Path of "Dignity, Community, and Justice"
Pedro Sánchez, Spain's Prime Minister, has announced a decree that will offer a pathway to regularize the immigration status of 500,000 undocumented migrants and asylum seekers.
In this powerful post on social media from this weekend, PM Sánchez explains that the people who Spain is choosing to regularize are "people we live with everyday." They are people who we see "at the market, on the bus, at our children's school." They are "people who care for our parents, working in the fields, who have built hand in hand the progress of our country."
He asks: "When did recognizing rights become something radical? When did empathy become something exceptional? Spain is above all a welcoming country and this is the path we choose. Dignity, community and justice."
