The Spanish right-wing party Vox, the third largest in parliament, has proposed the mass deportation of approximately eight million immigrants, including those born in Spain to immigrant parents. Vox leader Santiago Abascal and party spokespersons have emphasized deporting migrants who have not adapted to Spanish customs, those who have committed crimes regardless of their legal status, and unaccompanied minors. The party also targets individuals who impose foreign religions or disrespect women. Vox justifies the deportations as a means to preserve Spanish identity and social order, citing difficulties in distinguishing between deserving asylum seekers and others. The proposal has sparked controversy, with critics labeling it xenophobic and a violation of human rights. The Spanish government and other political figures have condemned the plan, while Vox threatens to withdraw support from the center-right People's Party if it continues to favor migrant regularization over deportations. The debate has extended to media appearances, including a televised confrontation involving Vox's Rocío de Meer. Vox also calls for the censure and removal of Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, linking him to their immigration policy criticisms.
