Overview
- The plan introduces a points-based entry system scoring age, education, experience, language and cultural adaptation, with three tracks: hired-at-origin for strategic sectors, shortage occupations, and a time-limited option for irregular residents to seek work.
- Long-term residence would hinge on effort — contribution, employment and integration — rather than simply five years of legal stay, with specific benchmarks still unspecified.
- Non-urgent public aid would require proof of legal residence, and the municipal padrón would be limited to statistical use rather than conferring access to broader benefits.
- The PP pledges automatic, immediate expulsion for migrants with recognized ties to criminal organizations, and contemplates deportation for links to terrorism, arms trafficking or organized gangs.
- The package proposes a single migration authority along with Penal Code and judicial reforms to pursue mafias in international waters with harsher penalties.
