    Spain from what I’ve seen also tried to get immigrants into work. I’m always considering moving there, not because I’m not in a comfortable position here but because of the facts like their welcoming attitude and the general attitude; I rented an apartment in Spain and always spent good times there.

      I can feel that. But all my Spanish friends say the same: there is no work, and If you find it’s pay is way below your qualification or working conditions are shit. A Spanish man once told me “Spain is great to live but bad for work”, I guess many Spaniards feel that way…

        Yeah, that and the language that I don’t really speak (though obviously I could start learning it) is what keeps me here.

        However, it is telling that a country that is off worse economically than we are here (Germany) is more welcoming to migrants – not saying all is fine and dandy but the general sentiment is just so much better.

          I don’t know about that. In practice, Spanish produce farms abuse migrants quite a bit. And of course, Sanchez is a socialist. The nationalist/fascist opposition has gotten quite influential more recently.
