"The immigrant amnesty granted by the Socialist government in Spain last year has been part of the growth in the number of immigrants living in Spain.Not that long ago it would have been strange to see an immigrant on the streets, and polls at that time showed the Spanish to be some of the least racialist people in Europe.
