MADRID — Spain 's left-wing government announced on Tuesday an immigration law reform regularizing tens of thousands more migrants a year, in a fresh contrast to harsher policies elsewhere in Europe.Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says Spain needs migration to fill workforce gaps and counteract an aging population that could imperil pensions and the welfare state.
The government will reduce from three years to two the period during which illegal migrants must live in Spain to automatically have a right to a visa.A new category will regularize in this way those whose first residence permit expired without being renewed.More than 210,000 people were authorized to live in Spain through the residency route by late 2023, the government said in a statement.
