Spain's Perspective on Immigration

Here is an interesting article on immigration in Spain from Robert Duncan. I was struck by the parallels between Spain and the US regarding their views and issues with immigration, both legal and illegal. Spain is especially interesting in this case for the concentration of Ecuadorian immigrants living there. The article states that there are 420,000 Ecuadorians living legally in Spain with up to another 330,000 (estimated) Ecuadorians living illegally.

I encourage everyone the check out the article. Ignore the embedded links, though, as they just take you to items on Amazon.com.
