Spain’s new immigration guidelines will permit for the regularisation of some 300,000 undocumented migrants per yr over the subsequent three years because the nation seeks to increase its labour power, Migration Minister Elma Saiz advised reporters on Tuesday.

“Spain has to choose between being an open, affluent nation or being a closed and poor one, and now we have chosen the previous,” Saiz stated, including that the nation wants round 250,000 to 300,000 overseas staff a yr “to maintain (its) welfare state”.
