Why not the US?:

" Spain's Socialist-led government presented a draft decree on Tuesday to expedite legal status to hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants, in its latest move to integrate migrant workers even as other European countries curb immigration.

Spain's economic growth has by far outpaced most European peers in the past two years, at least in part boosted by an openness to immigration that has dynamised key sectors like hospitality and care, and bolstered the welfare state.

Migration Minister Elma Saiz told a news conference irregular migrants who have lived in Spain for at least five months as of the end of 2025 and have no criminal record, as well as those who had applied for asylum before the end of the year, would be eligible for the accelerated residence permit.

Some 500,000 people, mostly from Latin America, stand to benefit from the measure, according to government estimates.

The permit will be valid for a year - or five in the case of children -- and renewable. After 10 years, the migrants could become citizens, or even quicker if they are from Latin America countries or refugees.

"We are strengthening a migration model based on human rights and integration, compatible with economic growth and social cohesion," Saiz told reporters, noting that economists across the region have attributed Spain's falling unemployment and strong growth in part to its openness to migrants.

Spain has about 1/7 the population of the US, so extrapolating that program to the US would result in the legalization of 3.5 million of undocumented immigrants, a substantial percentage of the US' total.

I know it would bum out white nationalists like Stephen Miller, but it would certainly tone down the immigration furor while still allowing the deportation of serious criminals and recent illegal arrivals. Heck, ICE could get back to their original job of "criminal and civil enforcement of federal laws governing border control, customs, trade and immigration, and to execute investigations under hundreds of federal statutes implicating transnational crime, trafficking and national‑security threats" https://factually.co/fact-checks/politics/history-purpose-origins-ice-immigration-customs-enforcement-d73cdc (it was formed in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks).

Every country can make up their own mind about immigration matters. The US does not need to follow after Spain's example.

I cant understand the liberal uproar.

All ICE is doing is getting the convicted criminal aliens out.

I cant understand liberals on the street stopping this.

Murderers, gangbangers, child rapist is what you are fighting for

You've already been shown the reality by DHS', own numbers that the majority of arrrestees have no criminal record.

Will you ever stop lying about it?

It’s obviously the way to go.
These immigrants help the economic growth, they brings new restaurants and foods.

So becoming murderers themselves, murdering American citizens, is okay with you?

It's not okay with us humans.

Subtle. Nice.

Kind of like DHS is doing?

Only hiring their own kind?

America has nothing to do with this, jackass.

If they did, this would never have happened.


And a path to citizenship!
