Spain launches immigrant amnesty
The Spanish government is starting a process of granting legal amnesty to up to 800,000 undocumented immigrants. The new rules apply to people living in Spain without legal residency or working papers. The move is an attempt by Spain's Socialist government to manage the country's illegal immigration problem. The move is designed to ease Spain's illegal immigration problem. It will also bring in millions of euros of tax revenue up until now lost in the black market. It is estimated that more than one million people live and work in Spain illegally.
