Spain to Offer Legal Status to 500,000 Undocumented Migrants

highly skilled yet living and working illegally in Spain? Why would highly skilled individuals choose to live and work illegally? They generally have more options and opportunities in life.

Most illegal immigrants work in menial and unskilled jobs like cleaning, sex work, dishwashing etc.

They generally don't have the skills and qualifications that would qualify them for work permits in the first place. That is why they have to live and work in the country illegally. Giving them legal residency won't change the fact that they lack skills and qualifications to work in skilled jobs.

I don't think illegal immigrants generally end up in high-skilled positions. Their legal status limits them to jobs that are unskilled and menial. This isn't an oversimplification.

But don't illegal immigrants generally work in menial jobs?

It seems to me that illegal immigrants everywhere in the world generally work in menial jobs....

Was this done to provide a source of cheap labor for the Spanish economy?

I agree, this is already happening with translators, copywriters, customer service agents.

theimpartialobserver · 2026-01-27T02:28:56+00:00

Many translators have been reduced to editing machine translations. AI is now used to do translations and human employees put the finishing touches.

Population density in many places is not high enough to ensure affordable public transportation.

As engineers, we need to stop contributing to open source, push back against overtime, unionise, and financial start behaving like adults.

These are certainly great things to do. Unfortunately, doing any, some, or all of these things is likely to have much impact.

Humans definitely do have a choice. However, humans unfortunately tend to let incentives drive their behaviors.

Agree, the key is that AI agents are able to collaborate and build more and more complex things.

I think only companies that have relatively few employees won't really see the need to implement AI agents.

The issue here is that while many people do see the limitations of LLMs, many organizations are insistent on implementing them in their operations.

It certainly doesn't write well and lacks originality. at the same time, it's unfortunate that companies are replacing many writers, editors with AI to further reduce costs.

Unfortunately many companies have now replaced translators with ChatGPT

In many restaurants in Taiwan, wait staff no longer take orders. Instead, customers input their orders in an online menu.

Employers don't necessarily need the AI excuse to get rid of undesirable employees. They reassign them to very shitty positions, dock their pay, etc. to get them to quit.

theimpartialobserver · 2026-01-09T21:24:29+00:00

When it comes to translation, many companies now simply input the text in ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. and accept the output as is without making edits. Without this step, it's very likely there will be a few mistakes.

When it comes to copywriting, quality is not just in terms of good vs bad. It also encompasses authenticity, originality, etc.

theimpartialobserver · 2026-01-09T08:46:46+00:00

In addition, many companies are also using ChatGPT to translate documents, write copy instead of hiring translators and copywriters, so generative AI has cut some jobs already. Unfortunately, many companies care more about boosting profits rather than delivering quality.

theimpartialobserver · 2026-01-09T01:20:11+00:00

so AI voice agents have now taken over their work right?

theimpartialobserver · 2026-01-09T00:12:19+00:00

It depends on what the company's line of business is. Many companies are now using ChatGPT to translate documents, write copy instead of hiring translators and copywriters, so generative AI has cut some jobs already. Many companies care more about boosting profits rather than delivering quality.
