Politicians condemn strict border enforcement as inhumane when someone else proposes it, but they deploy soldiers and accelerate removals the moment their own careers are threatened.

Spain had already regularized migrants in the past, and the opposition warned that another broad decree would encourage further irregular entry. Morocco also bears responsibility for allowing border enforcement to weaken.
