“…On the other, Spanish historical and cultural bonds with Latin America, together with preferential migration regulations (Cea D 'Ancona et. al., 2014), have attracted many Latin American immigrants to Spain, that, since the early 2000s, have represented the main incoming flow to the country (Cea D'ancona, & Valles-Martínez, 2015). Those same regulations offering Latin-Americans special legal statuses, not only, as explained by Cea D'Ancona and Valles-Martínez (2015), have resulted in a positive change in perceptions and attitudes toward them, but provide the opportunity to ask and obtain Spanish citizenship more easily (for example having a Spanish grandparent) than other immigrants, transforming them into a potential source of votes.…”

The politicization of immigration has moved the debate about immigration at the center of the run-up of elections, creating the breeding ground for the electoral breakthrough and success of right-wing populist parties. This article aims at disclosing the narrative of immigration and its politicization in VOX’s discourse, comparing it to the Italian Lega party. Clause-based semantic text analysis reveals that both parties share the classic characteristics of nativist populism: the representation of a virtuous and hardworking people, threatened by the invasion by some “others”, immigrants, who intrude the sovereign, antispace of natives to exploit and commit crimes. In both cases, the concept of space is manipulated, representing countries as limited spaces, allowing to depict immigrants as a threat to legitimize negative political responses. The study also identifies a novelty: the construction of the rescue NGOs as the new antagonist actor.

“…Since the early 2000s, Latin American migration has dominated the incoming flows to Spain, becoming the main continental group at approximately 40% of total migrants in the country. Their shared language and religion made them the favourites (Izquierdo, 2004) and migration regulations were designed accordingly, offering them special treatment with regard to legal status and resulting in a positive change in perceptions and attitudes towards them (Cea D'Ancona & Valles-Martínez, 2015). Hence, their cultural proximity made their integration to Spanish society easier compared to other origins (Aysa-Lastra & Cachón, 2015).…”

One of the outcomes of the Great Recession has been the emerging pattern of households maintained exclusively by women. The analysis of intra-couple characteristics is crucial in the context of job segregation by gender and by immigrant origin, such as in Spain. Using the panel version of the Spanish Labor Force Survey from 2008 to 2015, we analyze the transition of dual earner couples to female-earner couples among Latin American and Spanish born households. Our results suggest that migrant vulnerability is not only a consequence of a segregated labor market by gender and origin but is also the result of the partners' relative occupational and family characteristics. We show that, unlike Spanish-born couples, the risk of Latin American families becoming female-headed is higher for those couples in which the female partner has the weakest position in the occupational scale and for those with children in the household.
