>>540292352>Imagine you’re the leader of a nation, and you ace a dilemma. Half a million or so people who are crucial to everyone’s daily lives inhabit your country. They care for aging parents, work at small and large companies, harvest the food that’s on the table. They are also part of your community. On weekends, they walk in the parks, go to restaurants and play on the local amateur soccer team.>But 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.
>>540292365>We have done this for two reasons. The first and most important is a moral one. Spain was once a nation of emigrants. Our grandparents, parents and children moved to America and elsewhere in Europe seeking a better future during the 1950s and 1960s and following the 2008 financial crisis. Now, the tables have turned. Our economy is flourishing. Foreigners are moving to Spain. It is our duty to become the welcoming and tolerant society that our own relatives would have hoped to find on the other side of our borders.>The second reason that made us commit to regularization is purely pragmatic. The West needs people. Currently, few of its countries have a rising population growth rate. Unless they embrace migration, they will experience a sharp demographic decline that will prevent them from keeping their economies and public services afloat. Their gross domestic product will stagnate. Their public health care and pension systems will suffer. Neither A.I. nor robots will be able to prevent this outcome, at least not in the short or medium term. The only option to avoid decline is to integrate migrants in the most orderly and effective way possible.>It won’t be easy. We know that. Migration brings opportunities, but also huge challenges that we must acknowledge and face. Nevertheless, it is important to realize that most of those challenges have nothing to do with migrants’ ethnicity, race, religion or language. Rather, they are driven by the same forces that affect our own citizens: poverty, inequality, unregulated markets, barriers to accessing education and health care. We should focus our efforts on addressing those issues, because they are the real threats to our way of life.
>>540292385>Not many governments agree with regularizing migrants today. But more people do than we often assume. 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: Nearly two out of three Spaniards believe that migration represents either an opportunity or a necessity for our country, according to a recent poll.>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. For three years running, we have had the fastest-growing economy among Europe’s largest countries. We have created nearly one in every three new jobs across the European Union, and our unemployment rate has fallen below 10 percent for the first time in nearly two decades. Our workers’ purchasing power has also grown, and poverty and inequality levels have dropped to their lowest since 2008. This prosperity is the result of Spanish citizens’ hard work, the E.U.’s collective effort and an inclusive agenda that views migrants as necessary partners.>What is working for us can work for others. The time has come for leaders to speak clearly to their citizens about the dilemma we all face. We, as Western nations, must choose between becoming closed and impoverished societies, or open and prosperous ones. Growth or retreat: Those are the two options before us. And by growth, I’m not talking only about material gain, but also our spiritual development.
>>540292365>My government has taken measures to make these persons all the more indentured to continue slaving away harder, for less pay, and no more representation, under the threat of temporary status upon residence permits being realized.Immigration was and always will be about cheap exploitable labor.
>>540292352>Without slaves, who will pick the cotton?
>>540293108unironically this is the argument and desu is kinda valid.
>>540292352This whole problem could be solved with a single bullet.
Spain doesn't need a president
>>540292365>>540292385>>540292404>>540293153All this is nice if he skips as he skipped the fact that he and the cucklords before him made situation in Spain SO FUCKING HARD for native NADALS that is not even fucking funny.4 Spaniards works and pay taxes for gibs of imported shitskin taht will get both gibs and work on the side for peanuts cause he already have gibs.All of this could have been nonissue if Spain government just invested peoples tax money in incentivising birth of Spaniard.They intentionally chose not toHANGINGSPUBLIC LIVE STREAM HANGINGS WITH FACE ZOOM INS
SPAIN HAS 30% YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENTIT HAS HAD THIS NUMBER OFR 20 YEARS NOWTHEY HAVE NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM OFP EOPLE NOT HAVING JOBSYOU CANNOT FIX THE PENSION SYSTEM IF PEOPLE ARE NOT GETTING HIRED IN THE FIRST PLACE
>>540293390>SPAIN HAS 30% YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENTtry not to be lazy nigga indians do 12 hours per day and not complain.
>>540293108You can't pick it yourself?
>>540293440OF what nigger gaucho of whatIf they get subsidezed apartments, some pocket money and probably even some free 3 meal daily option, they can fucking work whatever menial shit for whatever money for whatever time and undercut kid from Spain who need to pay all of that with money he makes.Whole country is upside down intentionallyOnbly answer but it must be full, no half measure, so implicit and out of control that generation to come politicians will twitch on thought of it
>>540292352desu i find funny how this nigga look at the boriswave and thoguth "this is nothing nigga let me do it"
>>540292352> why the west NEED migrantsDon't fall for this false dilemma fallacy!How about "the West needs more children of their own"? Why isn't this even considered an option?Just because it's so much easier to mass import shitskins than to increase white breeding?They are not doing their job of realizing the paramount interest of their nation, of any nation: self-preservation!They are realizing the interest of the Globalist elite who want to abolish all nation states. picrel.
>>540294518exactly. this is why niggercattle ofthe west are so dumb and nothing short of total revolution is worth pandering to.vote whatever way you want within the current sytem = you are a dumb nigger cattle slave and dont mind more enslavement and fuckery.same governments worldwide shilled to the native populace abortion birth control hedonism nonstop for 50 plus years now and when population collapses blame the people they told not to have children and import foreigners, and especially foreigners that don't think like you, share your culture, or beliefs. Only in the west are we forced into this fuckery. we can't leave because these are our homelands, but these shitskins are willing to leave their foreign lands instead of making them better, because they want the guise of what we have, they dont want to work as slaves in our lands even though they will, they want the 'american dream'. still argueing left right , capitalism vs communism and vote the same political parties into the same openly corrupt governments worldwide that have km's of law doctrine already codified into their incorpated nation states is going to get people no where and its funny its still actually ongoing. I cannot believe the apathy in the western man, the frog has boiled over so long. Its a wonderous thing to me that no true revolutionary esprit has come from any western nation yet. the glowniggers do a great job and D&C for the globohomo we must give them that.
>>540293062No, that's just the utilitarian pretext.The true purpose is to "undermine national homogeneity".You don't believe me? Read pic of >>540294518They seek to weaken and eventually dissolve our national identities completely.This is how they intend to overcome any resistance against the loss of sovereignty of the European nation states in the EUSSR.Their final aim is to abolish all nation states.
They never call for their own women to have more kids.
>>540295470Ok stop with the racism man this inst the place for theses things
>>540293153We got machines for that. No muslim barbarian can be trusted to run those though, because they are too expensive for illiterates.
>>540295470They never define reproductive duties for women.Men always had duties, not just rights like women nowadays.Men were always expected to do the heavy, unhealthy, life-shortening, potentially deadly jobs.They were and they still are drafted in times of war and sacrificed for the nation while the lives of women were spared.Why? Because women were expected to bear and care for children! Which was their only value to the nation btw.If women no longer do this there is no reason to save them any hardship or the sacrifice of their lives.
>>540292352He's not a total jewish dickrider but he's still a traitor to his nation and civilization. I don't know why anyone would be surprised by what he says.
>>540296120Being Anti jew dosent mean being based tho Chávez was Anti jew and help ETA, migrants to europe and all kind of shit like that
>>540292352That's a lot of chutzpah to lie like that.
>>540292352Wow very enlightening. Now I understand and agree. It is purely luck that Spain was able to do these things alone for centuries. The miracle has stopped now and it's actually impossible for European nations to do any of this without immigrants. It's all so clear now
>>540296120Its your ruling classThe king is ok with this commie race traitorGo full franco and kill kill kill
This shit is hilarious, they are not even hiding how they are purposely subverting
>>540292352leftist traitors have been a goddamn disaster for Europe and the west
>>540292352nu/pol/ hates Israel and cares about nothing else, so it's fine if Pedro Sanchez ruins Europe with third world immigration.
>>540293062fucking redditnigger moronmost of these migrants in Europe don't even fucking workit's got fuck all to do with labor; it's about ethnic replacement
>>540293153The joke here is that these are not even slave tier, but invader tier. The invaders being sent are violent criminals evading arrest or just straight up criminals from the prison their home country did not want.
>>540292352tl;dr they drive down the cost for labor, so rich people can avoid paying less to natives. this allows the leaders to drive down the quality of life since the migrants are used to garbage conditions and inferior quality of life. it also destabilizes communities sufficiently where they can no longer group or have the necessary identity to ever feel like a distinct people, instead being at the mercy of megacorporations and global financial institutions.Nothing I said is unknown or new - I think everyone aside from deluded lefttards knows this. Why politicians keep peddling falsehoods and lies when they already have no opposition is the more interesting question though. You've won. The plebs cannot rebel, they will accept the invasion and their demise.
>>540292352Cállate judío de mierda
>>540300859Sánchez inst jewish
>>540301148might as well be
Spain is white Timmy country.This is just white Timmy behavior.
>>540301321Spanish lefties are their own breed, no jews and they end up being the most violent anarchist of europe in the rarely 20th
>>540292352what does he think about AI and robots?
>>540292352We don't actually need a lot of the crap we have. So less population leads to less things that require a body to exist. There is nothing wrong with this except for a greed filled mentality and treating the economy as if it's the god of this world. Either the system is allowed to flex itself into correction or the over correction will cause it to implode. In 100 years when the majority is brown there's not gonna be a green line to fill your pockets easily with nor will there be much of a habitable environment left.
>>540292365>They aren’t able to receive a higher educationI though you needed them to pick crops and wife old people butts?
>>540301776Early*
>>540292352Kikes mad
>>540292352>one of the she shitiest countries in europe where being 30 unemployed and living with parents is the norm>the government: we can't keep up there are too many unskilled jobs available we need more migrants!!!Idiotic
>>540300322Exactly, they don't work in our economy, they work in a parallel economy for each other where they avoid taxes at all cost and take welfare for the unemployed while earning a lot of money tax-free which they send back via Western Union.
>>540292352hilarious because shitskins don't do any of these things
>>540292352What an absolute piece of shit.
>>540301321She looks like a Mexican.
>>540292352WE HAVE OUR OWN CITIZENS TO DO THAT YOU FUCKING KEKAND REALLY A PARK DOESN'T NEED 'WALKING'
WHO IN SPAIN IS STANDING THERE BEING LIKEEYO THIS PARK AIN'T BEING WALKED! WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BOYS, WE REALLY NEED THIS PARK WALKED! AW MAN WE NEED MORE IMMIGRANTS SO THIS PARK CAN BE APPROPRIATELY WALKED
