Spanish immigration amnesty drew 1.2M applicants

A Spanish immigration amnesty program attracted 1.2 million applicants, double initial expectations. Spain maintains an open immigration policy in contrast to other European nations tightening borders, with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez arguing migration is economically vital for the aging population. The largest undocumented migrant groups are Latin American and Moroccan, while the hard-right Vox party has targeted Latino communities as a potential voting bloc.
