“MAGA-style leaders may say that our country can’t handle taking in so many migrants… But don’t let them fool you. Spain is booming.”
For anyone baffled about what’s going on in Spain, I commend to your attention the following New York Times op-ed by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, titled, “I’m the Prime Minister of Spain. This Is Why the West Needs Migrants.”
“Imagine you’re the leader of a nation, and you face a dilemma. Half a million or so people who are crucial to everyone’s daily lives inhabit your country,” Sánchez began his pitch for providing legal status to 500,000 migrants.
“One crucial thing makes these half a million people different from other people in your country: They don’t have the legal documents that allow them to live there. As a result, they don’t have the same rights as your country’s citizens and can’t fulfill the same obligations. They aren’t able to receive a higher education, pay taxes or contribute to Social Security.”
“What should we do with these people? Some leaders have chosen to hunt them down and deport them through operations that are both unlawful and cruel. My government has chosen a different way: a fast and simple path to regularize their immigration status. Last month, my government issued a decree that makes up to half a million undocumented migrants living in Spain eligible for temporary residence permits, with certain conditions, which they will be able to renew after a year.”
Sánchez went on to claim that, “The regularization effort underway in Spain actually began as a citizen-led initiative endorsed by more than 900 nongovernmental organizations, including the Catholic Church, and it has the support of business associations and trade unions alike. More important, it is backed by the people: According to a recent poll, nearly two of three Spaniards believe that migration represents an opportunity or a necessity for our country.”
Then he sneered that, “MAGA-style leaders may say that our country can’t handle taking in so many migrants—that this is a suicidal move, the desperate act of a collapsing country. But don’t let them fool you. Spain is booming.”
Booming indeed.
Spain received 1.2 million applications instead of just 500,000. The application window closed on June 30. A whole lot of foreigners, including in Morocco were left with the impression that they could get legal status if they just made it in.
Making matters worse, Spain’s Supreme Court ruled in July that migrants who arrived by sea would have their asylum applications processed instead of being immediately returned to Morocco.
The final blow came when Sánchez angered Morocco’s government by visiting Algeria. Morocco took down border security and encouraged its people to flood in. Moroccans were already primed to believe that they’d get legal status as soon as they crossed the border, thanks to Sánchez, Pope Leo and Spain’s leftist government.
The rest we all saw on video.
Some members of the red-green-black alliance (Communists, Islamists, Nazis) have been shouting that this was a conspiracy between President Trump and Israel. In reality it’s what happens when an open borders leftist government encourages mass migration and then gets overwhelmed by the consequences.
somehistory says
So he and the ‘people’ who want this are stupid misled, or evil.,
No sane, normal person wants a sudden increase of half a million strangers….who have no morals….living in the neighborhood and *working* in the shops and offices where they must go for business or medical care.
The “pm: is a fool and a liar. And he says the “Catholic church” wants them….no surprise, based on what the pope has been saying.
Chevelle says
Article said 2 of 3 Spain citizens support illegal migration. I don’t believe that poll. This Sanchez guy is a Soros side piece. It looks like an alliance of Soros, communists, Catholic Church , pope, Charities and no profits and globalist elite.
They want Muslims because Muslims are used to dictatorship. You pay their rent with middle class money, and they vote for more dictatorship. Muslims are simple to win. Free stuff = vote.
Spain hates us. We can’t forgive for how they booted our troops for Iran. Screw them and all their Muslims. How many Muslims do you guys need in your cup?
Westman says
Kingdom of Spain – 50 million population, 54% of the nation are Cathlolics and 40% of the nation are “no religion”. Is this true or is there a hidden sub-society in that 40%? That’s not much of a majority following the Pope.
Beans🫘 says
I don’t think the pope even cares about your comment. He wants to destroy Christianity and promote his satanism , and his Muslims.
He wants to replace the Catholics with Muslims. He wants Europe to be an Arab Pakistan place. Not a white continent. This one is even worse than Francis the pedo protector. Robert Spencer commented to me that this guy will be better.
Future popes are puppets of globalism, leftism, islamism.
Robert Spencer says
Who are you? When did we ever speak? When did I ever tell you Leo would be better than Francis? Why do you lie?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Maybe Spain ought to switch from a constitutional monarchy to an absolute one. This assumes that their king at least cares about his country, and is nothing like Charles across the Bay of Biscay and the English channel
Wellington says
He’s a colossal fool. Even assuming short-term gain, the long-term implications are beyond dire, even to the point of civilizational extinction.
A greater collection of idiots and ignoramuses in leadership positions cannot be found in all of Western history. Not in the late Roman Empire in its western half nor to the many Western appeasers of Hitler in the 1930s, and everything in between. No, as bad as Roman Emperors like Honorius and Valentinian III were, as bad as Chamberlain and Daladier were, it’s even worse now—and for sundry reasons. Two of them are that the greatness of the West respecting the most astounding development of technology in human history is now being used against it (e.g., does anyone seriously think that Iran’s ballistic missile capacities, never mind its quest for nuclear weapons, would have occurred independent of Western Civilization?), and the greatness of the West respecting the most astounding development of the parameters of freedom are also being used against it—yes, the Islamic world will use Western freedoms to destroy Western freedoms.
This is why Sanchez and so many others, including Bush 43, Popes Francis and Leo, Angela Merkel, Justin Trudeau, Tony Blair and all the pathetic Prime Ministers of the UK who have followed him, the EU in its extra pathetic entirety, Macron, et al. are the worst of the worst respecting the effort to preserve Western Civilization. Hell, such people make even a Neville Chamberlain look better by comparison and if this isn’t sad beyond all measure, I’m not sure what would be.
Bill says
Also add the Biden administration for being among the worst to preserve the West. I’m sure they all knew, being globalist/Marxists, that they were at least enabling its ruin.
Wellington says
Will gladly add the Biden Administration to this roll of dishonor. Joe Biden himself is worse than a nothing and those controlling him during his four disastrous years in the White House are beneath contempt.
Andrew Knight says
Everybody knows the trouble they have in Barcelona with crime, coming from North Africans coming in. The crucial issue is Islam. Without doubt, there is a strong desire in Islam to reclaim Spain, once a Muslim territory. We also know Islamists fund the lies that lead people to think there is an evil conspiracy between America and Israel – when the truth is very, very different. Our Western countries need an influx of Muslims like a hole in the head. I think the socialists are desperate, knowing deep down they lost the argument forty years ago. Otherwise, why would they be protecting the Islamists the way they do? This will not end well.
Smitty says
Pedro Sanchez is a pernicious leftist imbecile, who’s doing irreparable damage to Spain, unless the Spanish people take immediate action and root out this filth, it’ll be way too late to do anythin to help.
Nabil Bissada says
‘I’m the Prime Minister of Spain. This Is Why the West Needs Migrants.’
Of course you are the Prime minister of Spain. Your loyalty must be to Spain and to the citizens of Spain.
If the west needs Migrants, they must choose the correct one. Not who already have who murder, raping, be heading, theft, destroy churches, kidnapping, living under welfare.
The migrants the west have them are the Muslims terrorist member with ISIS, BOCO HARAM, HAMAS, etc.
Who are escaping their Muslims countries as a criminal. They target is to Islamize the west to be same as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Yemen, Libia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, etc.
If the west leaders their loyalty and respect to their countries and their citizens, they will be asking and brought migrants from South America.
Either that means the western leaders have a deal with Muslims to ruin their countries and let their citizens lose their culture, Christianity and living under threat with no secure, no dignity, no integrity.
If you are accepting more Muslims as migrants, means you agree and supporting all the crimes they are making daily against your citizens,
Muslims in the west are the soldiers of Allah No migrants.
N.B
I was born and raise in a Muslim country.

So Spain “needs” violent sponging Muslim invaders because this tool is the Prime Minister of Spain?
Spain has fewer than 50 million people–and just the latest invasion of Muslim demanding to be taken in is 1.2 million. How long can this continue? Spain is already 5% Muslim–and it keeps getting worse. How are Moroccans “refugees”?
Beans🫘 says
Nick Shirley goes to Cueta to interview Muslim invaders.
Nick and his crew were chased with knives by the Pedro migrants at the end of the video and ran to the police.
Every single migrant says they’re 17. So they can’t be deported. And the migrants say women must be in the home. And they also said Spain belongs to Morocco because of 700 years ago.

Thanks for that link, Beans–Nick Shirley–and “Vigilante”–are brave guys.
Among the most telling points: the agressive Muslim in the graveyard who who tries to force them to say the Shehada, so they will be Muslim converts.
The Muslim who says there are no women because Muslim women have to stay at home–so if Morocco was really dangerous, they make the women stay anyway.
And while some of these kids really were underage, the spokesman–who claims to be 17–has a full mustache and a sharply receading hairline…
Beans🫘 says
Yes bathing at the graveyard of veterans, absolutely repulsive. We know they wouldn’t do that in a Moroccan grave yard.
Yes I saw he wanted a shahada from them.
