More than 1 million migrants apply for Spain's mass regularisation
Over one million undocumented migrants in Spain have applied for legal status through a government regularisation scheme, which was initially expected to benefit around 500,000 people, mostly from Latin America. The scheme, launched in April, defied a European crackdown on irregular immigration and closed submissions on Tuesday.
