Is it the immigration policy or is it tourism? I mean everyone in Europe wants to visit Spain at least once per year.
But yeah thanks to immigration it’s always possible to find an employee who will work for 1000-1500 euro per month, and there are a lot of people, from any age, just living renting rooms that will never be able to afford a home.

GDP has surged, but salaries increase below inflation, one of the reasons why this happens is that there will always be an immigrant wanting to do any job for 1200 € neto a month, so no pressure for companies to raise wages, also 3 million immigrants in 7 years while building less than 1 million homes means more demand for houses and increased prices, therefore spaniards are in a worse position than before. But of course Ashifa Kassam has a different agenda, I wonder why.

Here it is, for anyone who wants to take the time to read.
Spain has different inmigrations flows due to South America, trying to extrapolate globally would lead to errors.

It’s true. In Spain we are losing inhabitants. Receiving immigrants, training them and introducing them to an active work life is the remedy to remain competitive. By the way, they do not take jobs away from Spaniards. If you train yourself well, you will find work. The problem is that salaries are still very low.

At the beginning this strategy seems like rocket fuel for the economy. Then the economy gets hooked on cheap imported labour and businesses stop investing. Productivity and GDP per capita go down. Reference: UK

El artículo comienza con Madrid y Barcelona (únicas ciudades con trabajos competitivos que sostienen otros territorios y al funcionariado), la dos ciudades cuyas clases medias están más explotadas e incapaces de mantener el estatus empobreciéndose a pasos agigantados;
* pagando más impuestos que nadie,
* incapaces de comprar vivienda o alquilar,
* a merced de inmigración que mantiene salarios bajos y
* la competición de expats y clases altas latinas que vienen con salarios que les duplican y ahorros para comprar en cash.
Claro, y luego que si no nacen niños…

Spanish government overspending is what is boosting the economy. And I am afraid it will come crashing soon because it’s unsustainable

Solo le va bien a los grandes empresas relacionadas con el Turismo y a los Bancos. El sector turístico se mantiene por los sudamericanos con papeles no con los que llegan en patera sufriendo mil calamidades. Los números crecen pero el dinero va a una minoría, a eso yo no le llamo un resurgir económico, nos cargamos los recursos naturales de todos para beneficiar a unos pocos.

This kind of post enrage me because here no one is noticing that the economy is „soaring“. Prices are higher than ever, salaries are absurdingly low (all kinds of work), all weeks taxes increase, government is overspending…
Also an immigrant talking about how great is the immigration. Clear conflict of interest.

Why nobody is talking about the problems that much immigration cause?
And I am not talking about security or crime I am talking about the rising price in housing. It’s ridiculous how the prices are rising in cities like Madrid or Barcelona.
