Spain has a lot of latin-american immigrants. I don’t know the process myself, but judging by my personal experience of seeing Latin American people everywhere around me, it’s probably relatively easy to get in.
Alas. It is not, sadly, relatively easy. At least, not the legal and certain way I would need for my (non-race sharing) family too. I can’t just go “visit” one of a handful of acquaintances I know in the country, and overstay a tourism visa to later hope an asylum claim lands.
A few years ago and if I were $250,000 USD richer than I am, and it indeed would have been trivial to obtain Spanish citizenship.
Now all I got left to hope is the fact that history’s closest turnover of the varied oppressed tapestry that genetically makes me up marks me as Puerto Rican/Mestizo/Other.
Spain was forced to give up their claims on their former colony, whose people still can be disenfranchised with a mere pen stroke because only a ‘law’ grants me my US citizenship, not something as lofty as a “constitutional amendment”.
