Spain's far right aims to use state funds to buy 'return tickets' for undocumented
"Santiago Abascal stated that in regions where Vox governs, public funds for migration policies will be used to finance 'return tickets' and repatriations of undocumented immigrants."
"Abascal criticized the central government for supporting the idea that those entering Spain illegally should have the same rights as Spaniards, calling the migrant regularization 'massive' and 'illegal.'"
"He argued that 'there's not room for everyone here; Spain is for Spaniards and for people who have been working and paying taxes for a long time.'"
"Recent data shows that more than two million migrants arrived in Spain between 2023 and 2024, indicating a significant increase in the foreign population amid a declining birth rate."
