AI Summary

short article 1 min

The Spanish government announced plans to grant legal status to undocumented immigrants living and working in Spain. The measure, affecting those residing in Spain for at least five months and who applied for international protection before December 31, 2025, could impact an estimated half a million to 840,000 people, primarily from Latin America. Once legalized, these individuals will be able to work in any sector and region of the country. The government highlights the positive impact of migration, contrasting with stricter immigration policies seen elsewhere, including the United States. The new policy aims to integrate undocumented migrants into the formal economy.
