Sky News host James Macpherson claims the Spanish government is “gifting legal residency” to illegal migrants. “The Spanish government have decided rather than deal with the problem of illegal migrants, let’s just redefine the problem,” Mr Macpherson said. “They’ve said the problem is not that we have so many illegal migrants in the country; the problem is that they’re not legal. “They’re now gifting legal residency and work rights to migrants who apply.”

As a result of third-world migration–some say, invasion–much of Western Europe is no longer recognizable. Mass third-world immigration is unpopular nearly everywhere, but European elites, being unhappy with their populaces, seem determined to replace them.

Cuerpos para la exportación: Cerezas de sangre
Aunque las características estructurales de un modelo agroexportador se sostienen gracias a la vulnerabilidad legal y social de los cuerpos migrantes racializados, bajo el gobierno de Kast se han intensificado la retórica antimigrante y las políticas de deportación, lo que empuja a los trabajadores a circuitos aún más informales y explotadores, a pesar de que la economía sigue dependiendo de su mano de obra. A partir de perspectivas de derechos humanos, de género e interculturales, el artículo expone cómo la xenofobia fragmenta a la clase trabajadora, desvía la atención de las crisis estructurales y normaliza la explotación como un costo aceptable de la prosperidad de las exportaciones.

Ten years after Brexit vote, Britain is still wrestling with the fallout
A decade after the UK's Brexit vote, the nation grapples with its economic and social fallout. Despite promises of renewed prosperity, businesses face trade hurdles with the EU, and economists estimate a significant economic contraction. While immigration from EU nations has decreased, overall net migration has fallen, yet illegal crossings remain a politically charged issue.
