Spain has a new program. Almost 1.2 million foreigners want to live there legally. This means they want a permission to stay. These are called papers.
The time for applications is over. The state checked most applications already. Most people come from Latin America.
Many people come from Colombia or Morocco. Most people are younger than 45 years. There are more men than women.
The people lived in Spain for 5 months. They must have no crimes. The government under Pedro Sanchez likes the program.
He says: Spain needs these people for work. Firms need many workers. Other countries in Europe close their borders.
Some politicians dislike the program. They think: Now more people come without permission. The opposition in Spain criticizes the decision.
