Unlike the United States and some European neighbors defined by tough immigration stances, Spain’s left-wing government has projected an image of itself as the West’s new melting pot. It has embraced immigrants, especially Latin Americans who speak Spain’s language, share its religion and understand its culture. Even activists who say that warm welcome doesn’t extend to many Africans acknowledge that Spain is an outlier on a continent closing its doors.

Like canada before us, we have to avoid falling into the trap of not investing in housing when focusing on immigration based growth.
Then again most of construction is done by immigrant labor
>Many Latin Americans arrive by plane on tourist visas, overstay and expect to find a path toward legalization. They often do.
How do they legalise themselves?
Anti-immigration sentiment is common with immigration waves but it dilutes with time. There was a time when Anti-Greek or Anti-Irish sentiment was through the roof in the United States.
I don’t know if I would classify the immigration under Biden as a massive immigration wave. The media amplified it and its broader effects. This is displayed in the greatly reduced rates of crime, but if you were to hear the GOP talk about it, you would think the Country is teetering towards a MAD Max war zone.
