A seat for each of us

BY JOSÉ RODRÍGUEZ PELÁEZ

FIVE CENTURIES ago, many Spaniards crossed the oceans in search of El Dorado (a legendary city of immense wealth) in the Americas. Today, 50 years after the Treaty of Rome, which was the precursor of today's European Union, Spain itself has been transformed into a new promised land. Because of immigration, the population has increased from 40 to 44 million since 2000.

God's infinite blessings are for all of us—whether we live in our native countries and are here to stay, or whether we have newly arrived and still need to find our bearings.
