"Spain’s Socialist government is trying to encourage African development to stop the tide of illegal immigrants. Illegal immigration can best be stemmed by promoting legal immigration and development in poorer regions such as Africa, is it claimed in some quarters. But most European countries’ immigration policies still focus on fortifying frontiers. Spain is trying to pass from word to deed, reforming its immigration policy in a way which has won praise from experts."
