Spain is moving against the European tide with a plan to offer a chance at residency status to hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants. The move has exposed a deep political divide for the minority government.
Spain’s left-wing government on Tuesday said it had approved a fast-track plan to allow up to 500,000 undocumented migrants to apply for legal residency status, most of them from Latin America and Africa.
The move is one of the largest regularizations seen in Europe in years, and bucks the wider trend of many European governments adopting tougher stances on migration.
