Spain toughens migration policy, vowing to expel all illegals
Madrid- The constant influx of Africans to the Canary Islands has prompted Spain's Socialist government to toughen its immigration policy, news reports said Tuesday. The government now excludes massive amnesties to illegals and vows to expel all of them, according to the daily El Pais. The conservative opposition accuses Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's government of encouraging illegal immigration by allowing large numbers of migrants to legalize their situation after staying in Spain for a while. About 1.2 million immigrants have obtained residence permits in eight massive amnesties over the past two decades. Around 700,000 of the migrants were legalized by Socialist governments. Socialist leaders have rejected the conservatives' request of a law against new amnesties, but have also said that the government would not stage any more mass legalization procedures.

Yeah, I had heard. And when they asked the EU for help, France saig 'You can't legallize 500,000 illegal immigrants then ask for help!"
However, Greece, which is having its own problems, said they would create and staff an EU coast guard to keep illegals off EU shores, if the EU will fund it.

Yeah let's get all the illegal aliens out of this country! So everybody leave except for the Native Americans. They never gave papers or permission for the flood of illegal immigrants that entered this country back in the 1460s through 1800s. Those that have been granted citizenship were granted it illegally, by an illegal government. So everybody get out and leave the Natives alone. Then if you want to stay we'll see if they grant you amnesty. Let's do it get all these illegals out. No more British, Germans, French, Irish, Jewish, Mexican, Asian, and all those other countries that keep invading America. GET THEM ALL OUT IT'S ABOUT TIME.

I guess that is up to Spain.
I honestlyam not going to concern myself with Spain.
This is not a facetious answer.
I am more worried about the borders of the United States.
We live in a world in upheaval.
There are wars going on, and a lot of people are going to die.
I see what's going on, so many people do not.
Spain is only one piece of a diabolical puzzle.

Hopefully, this attitude will catch on here...and anywhere else that illegals are damaging a country...
Illegals are like cancer, slowly draining and killing as they feed off the once healthy host....

No, I didn't see it.
Historically, Spain is of Afrikaan ancestry. Yes, they do hide this well. So, for the Spanish to desist new immigrants, is no surprise.

Yes, if they are illegal they are breaking the law. They should be expelled.
