Over a million migrants seek legal status in Spain

Spain has taken a very different tack from other European countries toward migrants, with Sánchez welcoming them into the country and pledging to grant legal status to half a million undocumented migrants under a new program. However, the PM underestimated how many people would apply: his government had expected 750,000 applications. With far-right, anti-immigrant parties like Vox rising in the Spanish polls, Sánchez’s room for maneuver on this policy could be rather limited.
