Spain offers hundreds of thousands of immigrants a way to stay legally. But who are they?

Culture

More than half a million immigrants are believed to live in Spain without legal permission. They work jobs that few Spaniards want: picking fruits and vegetables in the fields, caring for children and the elderly, cleaning homes and hotel rooms. Some wind up homeless. The "sin papeles" (Spanish for "without papers") are often exploited, marginalized and invisible.
