How Spain’s radically different approach to migration helped its economy soar

So much ignorant comment on here. Immigrants are generally more law abiding than natives.
And harder workiing.
Cant you bigots just concntrate on gays and leave immigrants alone ?
Build Back Blubber!

Wales was named after all the beached whales that stink up the place. That's why its citizens are known as "Moby Dicks."
 
Tommy, help is on the way:

Vice President J.D. Vance told Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, that he will reiterate the Trump administration’s commitment to freedom of speech when Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer visits the U.S. next week. This follows Vice President Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, in which he warned against the erosion of free speech in Europe, and the subsequent imprisonment of a British man for sending emails intended to “insult and offend” London Mayor Sadiq Khan and government minister Jess Phillips, from Starmer’s Labour Party.

Asked by Kassam if he planned to reiterate his comments t Starmer and his team next week in person, Vance responded, “We certainly will,” adding, “[T]his is not hard, Raheem. We’re simply telling them to respect the values on which our civilization was founded, that you ought to debate with one another, you ought to, you know, your government should respect when the people have a dissenting viewpoint. It’s very simple, and it’s very obvious.”

JD jackass is woefully ignorant about the UK and free speech and the UK and free speech.
Its good that thug was jailed for threats. Khan has too long been the subject of nazi threats and Phillips has endured rape threats before. Maybe you feel they should just put up with it ?

That's what freedom is about.
 
They are thriving because they are not xenophobic. there is a lesson in that for many countries. Backward countries mainly.
We need to embrace migrants because western countries cannot support themselves.
Everyone embraces legal immigration. LEGAL being the operative word.
 

Months on, his stance has seemingly been backed by economic data: Spain’s economy expanded by 3.2% last year. This far outpaced Germany’s 0.2% contraction, France’s 1.1% growth and Italy’s 0.5%. The figure was also ahead of Britain, whose total GDP grew by 0.9% last year and the Netherlands’ 0.8% growth.

Crucial to this growth was the movement of people, said Javier Díaz-Giménez, a professor of economics at the IESE Business School. “It’s been done with a lot of tourists and a lot of immigrants.”
Its a departure from orthodox right wing dogma but it illustrates the wrong headed approach ub the UK especially.

Thousands of immigrants working and building things, paying taxes is a whole lot better than having locked up in hotels kicking their heels at our expense.

Better for them and better for our society.


While some politicians had called for Syrians in Germany to return to their homeland, a study by the German Economic Institute highlighted that about 80,000 Syrians were working in sectors experiencing deep labour shortages, from the auto industry to dentistry and childcare.

More than 5,000 Syrian doctors were also fully employed in the country, meaning returns could result in “critical shortages” in medical services, it noted.
Maybe xenophobia is not the first instinct we should consult when forming policy. Those commies at JP Morgan tend to agree.

“One remarkable facet of Spain’s recent performance has been the role of immigration,” economists at JPMorgan noted in a recent research report. “2022 saw the highest net migration in 10 years, at close to three-quarters of a million individuals.”
The Bank of Spain tends to agree

“Overall, Bank of Spain analysis suggests immigration contributed over 20% to the near 3% GDP per capita income growth during 2022-2024,” noted JPMorgan.

So Spain has better public services, better pensions and a fully functioning ecomomy thanks to immigrants. Sounds good to me.
Yeah, Spain legalizes 1/2 million illegals. Hell, under Biden that would have been like a drop in the ocean. What a stupid comparison. What a useless post, but then, it is little Tommy from a mentally challenged country.

You may not be aware. But the US is rather bigger than Spain.

So the US has more capacity.
