| Spain launches immigrant amnesty |
| 2005-02-07 |
| 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. |

| #7 ...and the poor tobacco farmer lit his clay pipe and eased his tired bones down into his favorite chair, thinking all the while, how in the blue blazes am I going to compete with my neighbors this season. Then it slowly dawned on him as he drew long pulls of soothing smoke into his lungs, he realized, in order to compete with all the growers in my county I'm going to take the plunge and just do it. After all is said and done he thought, I just have to look out for my family first and foremost. The next morning as he drove to market he was nervous, all the money they had saved together for the last 10 years was in his purse. Added to that was some extra money borrowed from his wife's parents. They now had enough. Before noon that day our clay pipe smoker purchased and owned his first slave. 200 hundred years later....My borders,language,culture, security and country will have to sort out the details for itself again !!! After all We need the status-less-illegal-immigrants because we need them in them in the construction, fabric, home keepers / Nanny's, restaurant, auto / mechanic / body / upholster, growers, farms / ranching / grape / wine, etc. industries BECAUSE we can't get Americans to the work !! WE JUST CAN'T COMPETE !!! |

| #1 Sounds like Zapatero is looking to lock up electoral majorities for his party by increasing the Muslim vote. This is how Europe is going to become majority Muslim - through politicians who gradually increase Muslim immigration in order to win elections. If the British Labor Party can do it, any party on the continent will do it. |
