Europe is heading towards civilizational disfigurement. Many YouTubers and travelers, after visiting Lisbon or Paris, are astonished by the demographic shift: more hijabs and men in long-sleeved robes than ever before in their experiences.
In this suicidal importation of people who do not share the culture and values rooted in European Christianity, Spain is not far behind. From the social-communist and feminist discourse in the highest levels of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s cabinet to the open-border policy, dozens of boats from Africa have landed on both the Iberian Peninsula and the Canary Islands.
Between 2024 and 2025 alone, more than 100,000 migrants entered Spain irregularly. All are welcomed with open arms by NGOs operating with funds from the Open Society Foundations or the European Union, that supranational bureaucratic leviathan that has been the dream of so many autocrats. This opening up to uncontrolled migration was justified for years by the idea of sustaining the Iberian welfare state, particularly the pension system. It was believed that incorporating young immigrants into the labor market would compensate for demographic aging and increase tax revenue.
However, it seems that the Spanish socialist government prefers those who arrive illegally to those who use legally established channels. In November 2025, there was “an avalanche of rejections of applications for nationality by residence.” Was this a tightening of the requirements for the process? Perhaps in technical terms, but not in terms of the political intentions of the Spanish State. The phenomenon is not new — it had been developing since 2024.
However, on January 27, 2026, the Council of Ministers approved the start of the process for an “extraordinary regularization” aimed at more than half a million foreigners who are already in Spain irregularly. “In the long term, it will also entail new spending commitments, as it will generate entitlements to pensions and other benefits,” the newspaper El Mundo said regarding the consequences of the measure.
The government announced the initiative minutes after Podemos’s political secretary and MEP, Irene Montero, announced an agreement with the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) aimed at regularizing the status of hundreds of thousands of foreigners.
At an event held in Madrid entitled “Regularization Now,” Montero said that this will mean that “all those who were in Spain before December 31, 2025, and who can demonstrate at least five months of residency will have legal status.”
The feminist MEP recently said, “I hope the replacement theory works; I hope we can sweep the fascists out of this country.” In other words, the Left hopes that the avalanche of migrants will vote decisively for them once they reach the end of the regularization process and, subsequently, gain access to citizenship. But who are the fascists? Those who want to preserve Spanish culture, those who don’t want the collapse of social services, those who don’t want a giant state clamoring for more power?
In his speech at the Munich Security Conference, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio put an end to the false narrative that only emphasizes the shadows and ignores the light of Western civilization. And the issue of migration was central.
“That is what we defend: a great civilization that has ample reason to be proud of its history, confident in its future, and that aspires to always be master of its own economic and political destiny,” he said. Rubio reaffirmed the interconnectedness of the hemisphere, based on spiritual and cultural ties: “Mass migration was not, nor is it, a marginal concern with few consequences,” because “it was and continues to be a crisis that transforms and destabilizes societies throughout the West.” The impact of mass regularization in Spain has been warned against by conservative groups, such as the Disenso Foundation.
In a 2025 report, it refuted several myths associated with the phenomenon. “Unskilled immigration generates a net negative tax contribution throughout the life cycle. What immigrants contribute in social security contributions and taxes during their active working years is more than compensated in the form of pensions, healthcare, education, and other public services,” it stated.
The situation worsens when common factors such as children’s schooling, low female labor force participation, and persistently low wages are taken into account. In these contexts, tax losses can exceed one million euros per family.
“On the contrary, only those immigrants who exceed the €45,000 annual threshold — that is, highly qualified and productive individuals — show positive tax balances. These cases, however, are currently a minority within the migratory flows arriving in Spain,” the report stated. The pattern, it emphasized, coincides with that observed in other European countries.
“It is not a matter of being for or against immigration, but of recognizing that its economic impact depends on the educational, professional, and family background of those who arrive. And that, without substantial changes, the current migration model is not compatible with the sustainability of the welfare state,” the Disenso Foundation affirmed.
But despite the evidence of the social burden, the disintegration of the social fabric (with barriers to assimilation such as language and culture), and the rise in rape cases in Spain, the massive influx of migrants does not seem to worry the “do-gooders” of the socialist party in Madrid.
