I learned about this a bit in my classes, but not much, because our school isn't very good. I do remember hearing about the legalisation processes you mention.
The irony about Spanish discrimination of immigrant workers is that many of the older generation migrated to Germany in the 60s for the same reasons that people from South America or Africa are coming here now. It just makes the stupidity of this all more clear.
Exactly! It's a cliche, but history really does repeat itself. When we were learning Spanish history our teacher made a point of telling us all the countries people migrated to for better jobs, getting away from the Franco regime, etc. Along with the African immigrants, there was a bar near my apartment that I went to regularly where almost all the employees were from various South American countries, and the owner is French.
Thanks for the book recommendation. (I read entirely too much.) Nice to meet you! I like your Hellsing icon.
