Spain Amnesty: Gov’t to Take Illegals’ Word That They Don’t Have Criminal Record

[Mr. Mojo]

The socialist Spanish government’s amnesty scheme will allow illegal migrants to simply declare that they have no criminal record, rather than providing documentation from their native countries, sparking concern over criminals gaming the system.

Last month, the left-wing coalition government of Socialist PM Pedro Sánchez agreed to allow upwards of half a million illegals seek amnesty and obtain residence permits to remain in Spain.

While the scheme stipulates that amnesty will not apply to migrants with criminal records — other than the crime of entering Spain illegally — the regularisation decree published by the government this week revealed that Madrid will essentially be willing to take the word of illegal migrants about their past.

According to the ABC newspaper, an illegal will be able to make such a declaration if they can show that they have merely requested their criminal history from their country of origin or the country where they have resided in the past five years.

“If this information is not received within one month, the Administration will inform the interested party of this circumstance, who may submit a sworn statement of the absence of a criminal record,” the decree states.

Law enforcement sources told the paper that the system is bound to drive up migrant crime rates.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. We are seeing that in country after country. Just one bad government can bring a nation down, permanently.

We just missed experiencing that here. Had Kamala cheated her way to the White House…I don’t even want to think about that.

We saw this movie before during the Biden administration.

Spain is jumping into the race to destroy their country with Britain, France and Germany.

We are pretty far from being out of the water yet on this. Lose the midterms, this all comes back.

Now understand this is the real reason Trump wants Greenland: If these nations turn into ISIS-style states, we will need greenland as a base of defense or to launch pre-emptive strikes

Well Canada brings them in no questions asked , no background check etc

[Sam Gamgee]

Left wing is now permanently allied with those that want Sharia law.

Canada is an international laughing stock. We have had initial approvals of refugees from Spain - who fear gang violence? ROFL. Refugee status is not meant for residents of Western nations. Canada is also plagued with gang violence, so now where do Canadians go to escape?

News flash. This has been the case for years even in the US because 3rd world countries donot have National databases for criminals. Some countries dont even have birth records. Back when the gang of 8 was trying to give amnesty to the illegals I inquired about their criminal background check. Of course the answer was there was no way to check that. Recall the amnesty issued i believe in 1986, 2/3rds of those applications were found later to be fraudulent. This is what we are having to deal with. Unfortunately criminality is part of the culture to survive.
