  • The moderate right is increasingly adopting theses of the extreme right about immigration.
  • The PP defends a posture that disconnects the registration from the access of irregular immigrants to social benefits.
  • Vox's deputy, Rocío de Meer, proposes deporting eight million people of foreign origin, even those of the second generation.
  • Moderate parties fear losing voters and are becoming timid against the extremist stance towards immigration.
  • The toughened immigration policy does not differentiate the PP from other European parties.
  • The 80% of the GDP increase in the last five years in Spain has been boosted by immigrant workers.
  • The data shows that there is no direct relationship between immigration and crime.

Conclusion: It's crucial to counter xenophobic and racist rhetoric with facts and pragmatic, prudent, and human responses towards immigration.
