## Resource

The Spanish government announced this week that it was going to have a "mass regularization" that might help half a million immigrants to get work permits. As a former illegal immigrant (or undocumented migrant) myself I have some opinions about all this. Donate to the cause here, I appreciate it: https://expatmadrid.com/donate/ If you need an FBI background check for some Spanish visa process (or for nationality) head over to https://continentalis.eu/ Thanks for listening!
