- Spain news update and a recent newspaper poll suggests that a 'majority' of Spaniards think that there are too many immigrants in Spain. However, people are sympathetic to people from Latin American countries but not so much when it comes to people from other countries.

To many immigrants everywhere needs to be addressed and fast
Expatriates are also inmigrants
@@franciscopineda2594Yes,but they contribute to the country.I'm an immigrant in Spain and I've learnt the language, integrated completely and started a business.It's nothing to do with racism either,but I understand the concerns about illegal immigration from 3rd world countries.They're mostly young men who don't work or contribute anything positive to the country and they're not 'refugees'.They just know that they'll be given free accommodation and generous benefits.
@@Zippy741 Do me a favour and ask Google about " benefits abroad fraud"
@@franciscopineda2594yes, but we bring money and pay taxes. Massive difference. 🫵💩
@@kenrehill8775 Not everyone. Check benefits abroad fraud. Spain is the country with more cases of British criminals committing that kind of fraud. Check it please
Let's speak clearly. When in Spain-and the rest of Europe-they talk about excess of immigrants, they do not refer to Venezuelans, Poles or Chinese, they refer to Muslims, mainly from Africa. Not because of the color of their skin But because their religion and values are incompatible with those of European society. There is nothing more to debate.
I live in a town with a Christian king a Hindu prime minister and a Muslim mayor. More than 350 different languages are spoken here. We have neighbourhoods for many different cultures . I live in London
Dont kid yourself, color of skin plays a part too.
There is one word which for me stands out in your comment, and it is the word "incompatible," and although I understand the full meaning of the word, it speaks to me of a human failing. On one side a refusal to allow difference, and on the other, a refusal to allow difference -- in other words, "My God is better than your god." Such childishness should cease.
@@kerryburns6041 Thank you
@@kerryburns6041 There is nothing of God here. It is that he cannot integrate into European societies those who do not respect women, homosexuals, etc.
To many elligal immigrants everywhere.
I think we (in Europe) need to find out why the immigration is so vast. We know it's financial however I think it's time to educate and demand from the countries of highest emigration to sort their countries out. So that they have better conditions, so that people do not feel the need the emigrate.
I realise this is easier said than done however people do not move to a foreign country unless they have to.
Well pointed. All the information is there for you to read if you do some research. The main problem is overpopulation in the African continent. While the left wing of politics in Europe advocate for investigating the causes from the original countries by implementing representation in those countries the right wing of politics want to change the laws that help the migrants somehow. The problem is real and stoppable. Let's hope our leaders find a solution
Sorry. I mean unstoppable. It will get much worse
Your last sentence is completely untrue.Lots of people move to other countries for all sorts of reasons.Genuine asylum seekers are few and far between.
Maybe the european autochthonous people should start having babies instead of buying pet cats and dogs. That would be a good start
The countries who have a future are the ones who have a union that results in ( large population and large territories - US , China , EU ) this gives them economy of scale which makes manufacturing and reasonable self sufficiently feasible ,,, if we look at the Mideast & North Africa they have it all they are awashed with money resources and strategic geography but the lack of a union while Islamist Maine political objective is to have a union the elites in this countries and the west don’t want a union without a union they will only get poor and without a local superpower that represent the majority they will only be dragged to more conflicts , Europe for example needed a superpower like the U.S. to bring peace to Europe they also needed a union to ensure that peace and a strong economy and market would be available for European,,, in short the MENA & Africa can have a better future if the elites in this countries are driven for the greater good of their people,,, in Europe you had strong distrust among European countries it was the U.S. the forced European to be part of the European Union by pressuring the elites . The IS wanted a union to counter Russia .
Hi Stu, happy new year.
Hopefully the live streams will return soon, I miss them a lot! That said, looks beautiful where you are 😎. All the best, John.
Great video as always Stu! Our friend was just hit by a motorcyclist on Dec 6th. Both her and the driver survived but with serious injuries. She was walking when hit. It’s important for motorists to wear a helmet bc even when they hit someone, they can become injured too. Helmets save lives.
Too many immigrants everywhere . . . .
I agree with you. Immigrants are everywhere. But I would not say "too many". We have 1 earth and we should share it.
@@ektanerSharing is fine but it’s an ideal that doesn’t work . We must be realistic and understand that immigration needs to be controlled. Immigration makes demands on resources , such as water , housing , schools , and mainly jobs . Not to mention different cultural values, which some immigrants seek to impose on their host country . If these resources are not available then immigration cannot be considered or welcomed . Otherwise it leads to much greater problems which are evident in many countries.
I miss being an immigrant in Spain. The Mallorquins were kind to me and my daughter...possibly because we did our best to integrate, spoke the language and I paid my (hefty) taxes.
Are you white?
still you are an immigrant though
@@dab7805 No, I had to go back to UK :(
@@EmmaDivaOfficial still u were an immigrant though, once an immigrant is always an immigrant. Just because you went back doesnt mean you are not an immigrant. I know for sure you are waiting for a chance to immigrate again.
@@dab7805 I haven’t been following this conversation since posting six months ago, what is your point?
too many illegal immigrants and refugees vs too many legal immigrants. quite different issues but keep getting lumped together. good video as usual happy new year.
No go to Google and ask " benefits abroad fraud". You are welcome
Thanks for the updates, we're having a 4° Sunny day here in Milton Keynes, U.K.
Partitioning race over culture when talking about migrants sounds racist of course. Culture is HUGE when talking about sucessful integration.
The problem is not race but religion and culture. People who come from Algeria and Morocco give too many problems related to criminality. It isn't racism it's facts
Hola Stu, love the short intro vid you are using @SpainSpeaks. ¿Dónde se encuentra?
If I could add my 2 cents in the issue of dried up reservoirs and drought . I wouldn't be surprised if water mis_management (i.e Torrevieja de-salination plant) has also been a big contributing factor in the lack of water supplies you are seeing in certain regions. So crazy speculative ideas of reservoirs being drained purposefully cannot be ruled out - whomever might want to benefit... And speaking of environmental alarmists, no doubt Spain and other EU regions have seen experienced significant drought issues but if this year's storm systems may indicate - look out for flooding! I'm a bit skeptical if Madrid will become more like Marrakesh within the next 30 years as some environmental research groups suggest.
The reasons why politicians find it difficult to propose solutions to problems is because delivering bad news will not get you re-elected. To build desal, canals, tunnels, water reuse, and other infrastructure costs money which means raising taxes or raising water rates to pay for them. Courageous politicians have to be willing to fall on their swords to propose difficult solutions to voters. For example most of the politicians who proposed the healthcare improvements in the US were not re-elected.
True
I really wonder what native Spanish people think of someone like myself who is born Mexican but have US citizenship and will be moving in a few months from the US to Spain with my wife and daughter through a Golden Visa. Are we going to encounter any sort of discrimination? The last thing I want is for my 5 year old daughter to be bullied our feel unwelcome in any way. She has autism so that already is a difficult thing for her.
You will will be well received, but there will be some right wing uneducated idiots who will make the stupid xenophobic comment.
Man, this is Spain not the USA or Mexico. If you come you'd be respected as a person as long as you become a good citizen.
Amigo Mexicano, trayendo un niña a España, seras mas que bienvenido, yo tambien soy latina viviendo en Estados Unidos, y un dia deseo ir a ver q tiene la madre patria para ofrecer. Pero, definitivamente, con tu hija quien supongo es muy joven, el govierno de España te abrira las puertas de par en par. Se que estoy exagerando un poco, pero tambien se de la gran crisis de vejes que afecta a España. Buena suerte.
@@giggles8458 muchas gracias! Mi niña tiene 5 años 🙂
Mil gracias por el video Stuart. I see a lot of people riding in Spain 🇪🇸 with out gloves 🧤 or decent gear if you come off even at 30 mph you can do a lot of damage to your self
Thanks Stu!
Someone mentioned. A desalination plant .
As far as I remember.
Desalination plants are very expensive to run .so the reason for not using the plant may be fairly clear!!!!
Desalination processes do require energy inputs much greater than natural occurences such as rainfall. But many other countries have used them successfully if managed properly and those energy resources allocated properly. Unfortunately, for different political reasons and idealogies, Spain must do a better job at finding better solutions. Ex: irrigation or building more reservoirs that can capture more water for certain areas without excessive evaporation, new research and improvements in desalination process such as the Chinese have recently demonstrated. The only issue with their findings is again, how to develope the ideas on a commercial scale. Seriously, if people like Elon can find investors to fulfill his dream of interplanetary travel to expand the reach of humans, i'm sure we Europeans can find the resources ($ and brain power) to fix what seems to be the most abundant resource on earth!
En cualquier caso, estoy seguro de que dentro de unos años este problema del agua quedará atrás y caeremos en la siguiente crisis del día, como siempre.
We just moved to Spain recently. For retirement in Las Lagunas. Not too many people around. Most apartments are empty.
Las Lagunas in Mijas?
Good review.
Thanks!
We are adding 2 adults and a small dog to Spain's immigrant problem from 31st January. But we are doing it the hard way, legally and jumping a bunch of hoops as all need to do coming from a 3rd country. It's quite right that Spain makes us do it.
We did the same 20 years ago. There was never any question of just moving without going through the all of the procedures.
I couldn't have managed the paperwork, but an agency in Órgiva, Alpujarra Conect, guided me through -- hope you find a good spot.
@@kerryburns6041 We have Upsticks on the visas for us. Great service and really important to have them on hand if you get the wrong person the other side of the desk that doesn’t quite understand the rules.
We have bought a villa in Murcia, great area full of nature and history. 👍
I think that you are way much more intelligent than your last response: "But anyway, you keep believing what you wanna believe and I will keep believing what I wanna believe"
Thank you for sharing. A Hispanic from the USA.
Judging by all the developers busy building multi million euros villas and apartments around me I would have to say there is no property crash imminent. Last time the crash was approaching one of the same developers stopped all new construction and waited, but this time there is no sign of them stopping.
We have inactive desalination plants in the US. The reason is cost. Water from reservoirs, y imported water (water in California can come from over 400 miles away) and ground water wells are drastically cheaper. Desalination by reverse osmosis (RO) requires lots of electricity to run pumps to pull water through RO membranes. In the US the cost for RO is about $2000 per acre (1.2 million liters). If you look at your water bill this would require prices to go up astronomically. The cost of canals/tunnels from northern Spain would be billions for the ratepayers to pay, if the other autonomous communities allowed it. Conservation, capturing rainfall runoff or reusing treated water are easier and cheaper. There is no free lunch.
The solution is simple and cheap nowadays. Solar and eolic energy. Quite cheap...
Cari.... The USA have military budget if $800bn dollars so your comment is incorrect think about it.... Tony cuenca
@@craphead9842 I concur that "defense" and social security are the sacred cows or "third rail" of politics in the US. However, what I consider necessary changes and taxes required for water, health care have caused politicians to lose their jobs. I stand corrected. This situation in the US is not at all or in any way similar to Spanish politics.
thank you for the reminder to think. To US voters defense and social security are sacred cows or the third rail of US politics. However, voters are not so protective of water projects, health care, or the poor. Many of the politicians who voted for Obamacare were not re-elected. I stand on that fact. @@craphead9842
I get the thrill & freedom of motorcycle riding, but hate them. In the past year I’ve know of 3 local young men (under 30) have died riding them. One of them being my grandsons father. And he was doing everything right with great safety riding gear. Cars just don’t see them. So sad.
I get the impression that you have never been to the east coast of Australia. I’ve met plenty of Western Australians over the years that couldn’t wait to get out of the place. I’m not making this up.
WA is stunning, about the size of W Europe, but with a population under 2.5 million.
Pity the Spanish authorities don't enforce the requirements for using the e-scooters and e-bikes.
Why can’t’ Peace ‘ just have his opinion without Stuart getting arsy 🧐
Stu, keep on being arsy! It's part of what I find enjoyable about your videos. If they don't like what you're saying, why are they watching?
El Hierro with a population of 10.000 have received 11.000 migrants from Africa. The only thing we can do is to vote for Vox.
How many territories have been populated by Europeans?
I wouldnt like to be a resident in El Hierro, no doubt crime drastically increased.
@@YouNeedM3 What is this crap about crime? How would you manage 300 children?
@@YouNeedM3why do you assume crime increased?

Why not try a weekend in Adelaide, and i can buy you a coffee in person
So Spain was just fine with Spanish and European immigrants going to the Americas from the late 1400s through the 1800s, but are opposed to immigrants coming to Spain / Europe….got it.
All the people are welcome if they come to work. We have no problems with most of people coming from America, no matter the race...
Concerning the comment from one of your viewer that farmers were to blame for the drought ..... maybe the viewer should try growing fruits and vegetables without water. To ease off on the water shortage, maybe shut the tap on the golf course that do not produce any food. Thanks a lot Stu
There're thousand of ilegal grows in different parts of South Spain. They knew it's ilegal but they did and now they complain... They've done even in Doñana natural Park which is in very serious danger of disappearing. The same happens in Murcia where the subterranean water of wells are almost empty and in Almería desert. Simply is overexploded.
The best statistics are crimes by origin, not by nationality, there you can see the only truly impartial statistics..
Stu's headlines are suspiciously starting to sound like Rush Limbaugh's broadcasts from back in the 90s 😂
Wait till he changes to Alex Jones 😂
Unfortunately, many of the 'problems' caused by excessive perpetual immigration.
both legal & illegal, continues to be described as a 'race' issue, which ignores
the whole raft of serious problems such high volume immigration creates
for a nation. France & UK in particular are seriously suffering all manner of
social, cultural, economic & political problems directly caused by constant
and largely unchecked immigration, for which there are no rational solutions to.
The 'race' element only becomes an actual issue when these unchecked constant
numbers reach proportions that directly & negatively impact on the daily
lives of the native population to such a degree, that hatred & frustration builds to a
point at which the emotional/irrational anger begins to introduce 'racial'
attitudes! Hardly surprising!
For example: the main city centres of population in the likes of London
and Birmingham in UK in 2023 now contain only 40% of Brits! Some
academics in UK have said that by 2040, British natives will be a minority
of the country's population! If that doesn't ring any bells,
(except for the virtue sigallers) nothing will!
I think the 🇬🇧 has returned about 11 lol
Yet in the guardian the other day the opposite is said about migrants.
Yet Spain has not witnessed the same level of outrage and alarmist anti-immigration rhetoric we see in the UK, where politicians across the political spectrum and even journalists embrace the slogan “stop the boats’’ as a casual way to speak about desperate people trying to escape hardship. Unlike in the UK, in Spain net migration numbers are usually reported not as a negative, but as a welcome source of growth in a country with an ageing population.
Yes.
Every time I go to spain I see millions of tons of fresh rain water gushing down my road and into the med un hampered I ppresume its the same everywhere else would it be cheaper to store more fresh rain or keep building running and maintaining desalination plants or make water a scarce comodity like they do in the uk even though it rains nearly every day somewhere in britain but god help us if we get 4 weeks of nice weather. Just thought I'd get a dig in about some of the crapy greedy british water companies
Maybe if Spain didn't keep treating their citizens like Basura, far fewer would be inclined to leave and immigration therefore, would not have to be so greatly encouraged?
Can you give more context? Is there a place to read/watch more about this?
The fact that many areas in Spain are facing a declining population crisis is well known and can be demonstrated in various sources if you search.
As well as individuals, companies and businesses are also leaving to find alternative locations Where they are not punished for their years of hard work and dedication.
@@thesocialmediascientistmbe Thanks, oddly, we are thinking of moving to Spain (from San Francisco, USA) so we don't know a lot about the issues in Spain. Is it a result of a more socialist, stagnant economy?
During Xmas when I was visiting family back in the UK, another person asked me the same thing. As I told them, if you are coming to Spain to retire then that's one thing. If you are coming to Spain to look for a job, a house, education or to build a future then that is another thing entirely.
The economy has of course always been an issue, and over the last few years, the political corruption / greed and basic lack of ethics and respect for it citizens, is something I have seen as an evergrowing problem in this Country. The way which Spain treats its people is nothing short of disgusting - it is simply that its people are so used to it over the years they have become docile and accepting of this way of life.
Many have stated that Spain is going the same way as Venezuela.
@@thesocialmediascientistmbe Thanks for sharing that. Yes, I'm not going to Spain for a job so that means I'm outside of one large area of chaos. Is there anyone you'd read to learn more about these issues? Are there particular ways these might affect me as long-term visitor? The USA, where I live, is really crazy now, so I'm having trouble imagining a place with an even weirder population. It's not just the political divide here, it's that the people have become at the individual level very neurotic, complaining, upset, and angry. Not everyone, obviously, but I'd say at least 50% of us have become a bit mentally ill almost.
🌎👏👏🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸💪💪💪
Stu... IV mentioned the immigration problem in Spain many times on this channel but nobody listens... Zero immigration is the only way forward for Spain and the UK.... Immigration will only cause more problems..If you are coming from a 3rd world country to live in Spain what can they possibly offer Spain..when the English spend time in Spain they bring MONEY with them and add to the Spanish economy.. A no brainer really.. But what do I know I'm just an Englishman living in wonderful Spain....Tony cuenca
Also Spain is still in resession whatever the Spanish government tells you,just look around at all the empty shops and businesses... Tony cuenca
10:41 😂😂😂😂
There are horrific habits on display in Spain when people are ill... Many people don't even put the crook of their arm or even their hand over their mouths when sneezing or coughing let alone wearing a mask. I observe people in supermarkets around open food doing this, it's foul.
I think there is a general problem in the winter with blasting heat in shops and homes when outside is cold, rapid temperature changes are a fast track way to make yourself sick.
Seems to be a surge in respiratory virus in the UK at the moment as well We are currently not short on rainfall Was thinking about building an Ark in the back garden 🙂 We have right miserable weather here at the moment very grey Wishing for some sunshine
Here too Spain for weeks ,many here are suffering
It's winter. Always the same as anyone working in the NHS could tell you. It's just nowadays they emphasise it relentlessly as a nudge to keep us all scared and grateful for what they do "to protect us".
