Spanish Migration Crisis Continues Despite Influx of EU Funds
VOX has criticised Sánchez’ planned redistribution of 4,000 migrant minors around Spain’s regions, saying it only encourages more illegal immigration.

After their regional coalitions fell apart over the migration issue, center-right now aligns with VOX.
“We will not be complicit in robberies, machete fights, or rapes,” VOX president Abascal warned.
Instead of trying to abolish ‘pull factors,’ the Spanish government is distributing the migrants throughout the country.
Some 70% of ‘minor’ refugees declare themselves to be 17 upon arriving in Italy.
To gain Spanish residency, foreign women are reportedly flying to Spain on tourist visas and abandoning their children, who later claim to be unaccompanied minor refugees in an effort to take advantage of Spain’s family reunification policy.
The change is aimed at reaching 15,000 young people in the country, both those still under the care of the state and the extutelados, those over the 18 who were once wards of the state.
Incentives driving the trend, which has been witnessed across Western Europe, include preferential treatment in the form of protection from deportation, increased social welfare benefits, and special rights in criminal cases.
