Re: Immigration into Spain
When I worked in Madrid I met many hard-working industrious and friendly people from Eastern Europe. The Roumanians especially seemed to fit in well and learnt Spanish very quickly. However it has to be said that those at the bottom of the pile sometimes resort to petty theft, pick-pocketing etc., and nowadays this includes a small section of Roumanians, which is how they've got a certain reputation. I don't think calling someone a "coward" because they've made a judgement based on reported crimes (however ill-informed) is going to advance a civilised discussion here.

Re: Immigration into Spain
But, what about 'the bottom of the pile' UK immigrants here in Spain?

If one single thing pisses me off more than any other here (in Spain)...
It is immigrants moaning about immigrants!

Re: Immigration into Spain
Therefore, it is perfectly justifiable to be incensed at the current inflow of freeloaders from Eastern-Europe.

Re: Immigration into Spain
So, people in Madrid and Barcelona are just pampered fools who don't know what is good for them when the Roma-people thieve and rob all around the place.
I don't think that it is only the UK-media which reports of the detrimental effects of the Roma-people going around Europe.

There are an estimated 5 Million UK immigrants living in Southern Spain. Many are living there illegally.
I hate to say it, but in my experience it's the UK immigrants I have to look out for.
Not just blatant thieves, but they will sell anything if the 'profit' is there for them.
Most Eastern European people I meet here are as honest as erm... honest people.
It's your problem - no-one elses. If you don't like Spain as it is then **** off elsewhere with your problems.

Re: Immigration into Spain
Romania and Bulgaria were accepted as EU-members three years ago. What on earth was behind that decision to allow those two very undeveloped countries into the EU?
However, the moment the two countries became members, thousands of people fled their country to come into Western-Europe.
Absolutely insane, if I may say so.

Re: Immigration into Spain
We the Brits, are indeed immigrants in Spain... as they are in the UK.
Thats the definition.
Just like in Bradford, we create our UK gettos in Spain.... that's how it is
Everyone is looking for a better or different lifestyle.

Re: Immigration into Spain
I've spent the last 2 weeks in the company of well respected, worldwide published, Eastern European writers.
I met some guy (A UK ex-pat) in Burgos living on UK benefits. He moaned about the Romanian immigrants begging. Perhaps he didn't consider the fact that Romaniins don't get the same benifits he does?

Re: Immigration into Spain
Explain to me why Romanian/Bulgarian people are any different to you.
