Earlier this year, the socialist Spanish government announced its intentions to give work permits and regularize all the illegal migrants in the country in an effort, they said, to harm the "far right."

Yes, they admitted that they wanted to fast-track illegal aliens as quickly as possible to dilute the voting power of Spanish citizens, who are very unhappy with the current government.

I wrote about this earlier this year...

The Spanish government and its partners openly state that the reason for legalising more than half a million migrants is to "defeat the far right." This is literally weaponised demography. They took the most conspiratorial interpretation of the "Great Replacement" that is not even shared by most far right parties, namely it being a coordinated elite plan to reduce the native European share of the population, and actually turned it into policy - while also bypassing parliament, I might add.

... The number of applications is nearing a million, equivalent to 2% of Spain's population. You can add that to the already significant 7.3 million foreigners living there now, and soon enough, 20% of Spain's population will be foreign-born...

It's not just Spanish people who are upset and worried; since Spain is part of the EU and a member of the Schengen Area, in which the 29 participating countries allow barrier-free travel between them, Spain has created open borders with all those countries for illegal aliens...

It is impossible to overstate the frenzy that this policy has created among Arab and African migrants eager to get into the Eurozone, and the Spanish government clearly welcomes it as part of their efforts to dilute the political power of their opponents...

But, due to the Schengen Zone agreements, all it takes is one porous border to flood all of Europe. At least for now. I wouldn't be surprised if the EU project falls apart in the next few years to a decade, as the internal contradictions play out...

Spain Just Opened Every Country in Europe to Islamist Migrants, by David Strom, Hot Air, 15 April 2026:

The Reconquista is being reversed.

Call it the Re-Reconquista, in which Muslims invade Spain hundreds of years after they were finally defeated by Catholic Monarchs Isabella and Ferdinance of Castile and Aragon in 1492, the same year that Columbus sailed to the North American continent.

Muslims had invaded Spain in the 8th century, and it took 7 centuries of struggle and warfare for the Christians to defeat the Muslim invaders...

Pedro Sánchez, the Prime Minister of Spain, is inviting the Muslims to take Spain back, and by extension, the entire continent of Europe. Because modern Europe, you see, is all part of the Schengen Zone, in which borders are rendered irrelevant for travel and even settlement within the zone...

The Spanish socialist government is highly unpopular in Spain, so in a bold move, the Spanish government decided to fight the "far right" by legalizing more than half a million illegal aliens...

Spain, singlehandedly and against the wishes of its own citizens, is setting immigration policies for the entire EU...

If you wonder why Spain and many other EU countries are taking such a hard line on Israel and Iran, wonder no more. They have decided to throw in with the Islamists...

The Muslim Brotherhood is welcome in most European countries, but banned in most Middle Eastern countries. As Gulf states sound the alarm about Islamists, Europe welcomes them with open arms...

Socialists and Islamists have formed an alliance, since both see conservatives as the primary enemy at the moment. The same thing happened in Iran in the 1970s, when the socialists allied with Ayatollah Khomeini to oust the Shah.

The Ayatollah then had the socialists tracked down and murdered...
