Spain Approves Migrant Amnesty
The program targets immigrants from Latin America and Africa who work in key sectors such as agriculture, tourism, and services.
Spain's decision makes it an outlier in Europe, where anti-immigration sentiment has been rising in many neighboring countries.
However, the plan has faced internal opposition, with immigration offices threatening to strike over fears of a system collapse.
The government maintains that regularizing these workers will boost tax revenue and help address critical labor shortages.
