The Spanish government announced this week that it was going to have a "mass regularization" that might help half a million immigrants to get work permits. As a former illegal immigrant (or undocumented migrant) myself I have some opinions about all this. Donate to the cause here, I appreciate it: https://expatmadrid.com/donate/

It's a strange time to be an American in Spain, with the Spanish media pushing an anti-American narrative almost constantly. In this episode I talk about Donald Trump, Nicolás Maduro, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and what it's like waking up to the hatred of a large part of your adopted country. Interesting times!
