I wonder if this comes at a time when America is arresting and deporting undocumented migrants? I just heard a report from the Agriculture Department of Minnesota, that said they are having a labor crisis because of the 1 in 5 workers won't leave their houses, for fear of being deported.

MTG is calling for "Civil War!".

Spain’s socialist-led coalition government has approved a decree it said would regularise 500,000 undocumented migrants and asylum seekers, rejecting the anti-migration policies and rhetoric prevalent across much of Europe.

I believe it's important to tell a whole story. This decree is to allow them to stay for up to one year and they need to prove they do not have a criminal record. (I realize part of that is in your link, Dennis... just stating it for those who don't follow links.)

In surprise move, Spain to grant legal status to thousands of immigrants lacking permission

I know, and that seems very reasonable.
