"By one estimate, dairies that employ immigrant workers produce 79 percent of the nation’s milk supply and the price of milk would double without them." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

at least spain takes responsibility and adapts to the time. admitting it has to change even a little. not even ireland can do that, a country which hides behind imperialism but claims victimhood (see: us buying ireland by the cooks essay)
admit it, you want no one to be a citizen but the wealthy. a dwindling population of pauper nobles dreaming of more romantic days while you burn the books and the wood that makes up your walls. pathetic.
can’t have it both ways: “i demand soft power! relevance! a booming population” the diaspora comes knocking “no! not you! you left!” refugees & laborers from countries left improverished by colonial policy “no! not you either”
then don’t cry when like an estranged, cruel parent no one remembers you
