Migrants Returned After Moving to Europe
Spain plans to regularize 500,000 undocumented workers. France faces a different challenge with 450,000 to 800,000 people without permits. The situation is impacting both countries’ policies.
The Spanish government, under Pedro Sanchez, is taking steps to make 500,000 undocumented workers legal residents. These workers are mainly from Latin America. Spain wants to give a legal status to 840,000 people already living there. However, Spain also plans to return people who become legal after this process. This could create problems for other European countries if people leave Spain. The French government is dealing with a much larger number of people without permits.
