I suspect there are stages, of which the first is seeing how many leave voluntarily. Then it'll be the legal notices.

Has anyone seen anything on deporting British nationals or even overstaying penalties ?. Can’t see a thing about it on the news. I thought 500 expats were going to be deported.

I heard they are going to deporttwoBritish citizens that have been arrested for something. Think they will deport the people that are out there undocumented and causing headaches for the Spanish.

I'd call it, the pot calling the kettle black, myself...
The British, who for generations treated outsiders as second class citizens, are now crying foul, and claiming discrimination. You couldn't make it up! |

Re: Under the radar? Be afraid, (some) be VERY afraid!
It seems unbelievable that the UK is being highlighted for its negative treatment of 'outsiders' in comparison with Spain.
I wonder how many members have ever seen a 'black' or even a 'non white' person in any sort of civil service job. Moroccan people have been here for generations yet hardly any hold positions of responsibilty. Someone mentioned the treatment or mistreatment of traveller/gypsies........Spain does not score well on that point either. Look around at how many non white people are on spanish TV, politicians, actors, presenters, news and and current affairs etc. They are as rare as double yolked eggs. The UK may treat outsiders differently, but Spain cannot be held up as a good example of good treatment at all. Treatment of 'outsiders/ minorities in the UK has progressed, the same cannot be said of Spain. |

If you live in the UK regardless on what race you are. You are very very lucky. Even the slums on Manchester look like heaven in comparison to the ghettos of Spain and France.

It happens in many countries. It shouldn't, and I wish it didn't, but I don't recall anyone suggesting it doesn't happen in Spain.
