Huge queues at consulates after Spain approved migrants plan

Thousands of migrants have descended on consulates across Spain after the country approved plans to give legal status to 500,000 migrants. Since Saturday, some 8,000 migrants have visited the Moroccan consulate in Almeria alone to collect the necessary documentation needed to gain legal entry into the country. It comes as online applications opened today after Spain's socialist government rubber-stamped the initiative at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. Images from this weekend from Madrid, Bilbao, and Almeria showed snaking queues consisting of hundreds of people in the streets.
