From Breitbart: Over two-thirds of the Spanish public are opposed to the mass amnesty of illegal migrants planned by Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
Last month, the leftist coalition government announced that it would enact by Royal decree — thus skirting the need for a vote in the parliament — to grant residence permits to illegals who could demonstrate that they do not have a criminal record and have been in the country for at least five months.
The Socialist party-led government initially estimated that this would allow for the regularisation of half a million migrants; however, other projections have found that upwards of 850,000 illegals could receive residency under the scheme.
The move is apparently wildly unpopular, with a SocioMétrica survey for the El Español news outlet finding that 67.4 per cent of Spanish voters oppose the amnesty.
Intriguingly, opposition is fiercest among young voters aged 17 to 35, 89.3 per cent of whom are against the scheme.
The survey found that only 29.4 of voters in Spain support the amnesty plan, and they mostly come from the Socialist and far-left parties in the country.
Additionally, a whopping 69 per cent of Spaniards are worried that the amnesty announcement will only act as a magnet to draw more illegal migrants to the country.
