Spain’s socialist-led coalition government has approved a decree it said would regularise 500,000 undocumented migrants and asylum seekers, rejecting the anti-migration policies and rhetoric prevalent across much of Europe.
I’m sure some rightoids will be mad, but if you don’t want people to migrate, you shouldn’t have colonized their homelands.
I don’t think that would have prevented migration. People have always migrated and always will.
People have always migrated, but modern mass migration is a result of the economic extraction & resulting instability being so extreme that someone with minimal opportunities in Spain can make more money than your average person in a colonized country.
It’s not uncommon for migrants going from having middle class jobs (teachers, small business owners, etc) to cleaners and still having money to send home to support their family.
Additionally many people will migrate to Spain, England & France because their language is widely used in colonized nations.
I would, as an under-educated Australian, expect a lot of these migrants being from the Middle East - due in no small part to all of the US-led fuckery over the past 25 years (in particular).
So not colonialism, but something altogether worse?
The ones crying harder are the ones that have workers without papers.
waow
waowawuia, babooei!
