I'm happy that Spain is doing a lot of sane things at the moment. I wonder why.

This will add half a million contributors to the social security coffers, and half a million taxpayers.

Considering that they had health coverage, but many didn't sign up for fear of being tracked, and were usually restricted to emergency care, they were a burden to the system. this will also lower pressure on ER services.

It's good on many fronts, but it will create a calling effect for undocumented immigration. I'm definitely not on the right's side, but they do have a point.

It's complicated.

My last big critic of spain was the undocumented migrats workslaves they used in agriculture. Love to see these solutions.
