Spain's Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Diaz wants to legalize residency status of 500K illegals

By oliviacook // 2024-09-16

Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Diaz has called for legislation to legalize the residency status of 500,000 undocumented immigrants, stressing the importance of providing them with the legal cover to receive adequate labor rights. Diaz, who also serves as the Minister of Labor under Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's left-wing administration, has emphasized the need for immediate government intervention. Her call supports a legislative initiative led by citizens that demands the legalization of undocumented migrants who have been living in Spain since before Nov. 21, 2021. This initiative has received strong backing with 700,000 signatures and the endorsement of 900 non-government organizations. "There is the need to regularize over half a million workers without rights," said Diaz, who noted that a similar amnesty plan was launched by former left-wing Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, which resulted in over 700,000 migrants being granted amnesty back in 2004. While the proposal has significant support within Spain's parliament, the conservative anti-mass migration party VOX stands in opposition, arguing that such an amnesty would only encourage more illegal immigration.

Biden turns 500K illegals into future Democratic voters

On June 18, President Joe Biden passed a similar policy when he signed an executive order granting amnesty to undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens, allowing them and their children to apply for lawful permanent residency and, eventually, U.S. citizenship. According to the White House, this measure could benefit around 500,000 immigrants and an additional 50,000 children. Biden described the executive order as a means to "keep families together" and claimed it would “strengthen” the U.S. economy. However, critics argue that this move is less about maintaining the integrity of the family unit and more about expanding the Democratic voter base.

Federal law currently prohibits noncitizens, including permanent residents, from voting in most elections. However, those granted lawful permanent residency through this order could become U.S. citizens in as little as three years, if married to a U.S. citizen. Unless specific provisions in the executive order prevent these individuals from registering to vote before gaining citizenship, Biden's plans could create a substantial pool of new voters. The controversy surrounding Biden's executive order reflects broader debates about voter eligibility. Critics argue that Democrats are working to weaken safeguards that ensure only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections. Former President Donald Trump himself has criticized the order, suggesting that it could lead to a surge in new citizens who would be grateful for the Democrats and thus vote for them in future elections. As the debate continues, the implications of Biden's executive order for immigration policy and electoral integrity remain a significant topic of discussion.
