Modifications in the Spanish Aliens Act
Some modifications occurred in the Spanish Aliens Act in November 2009. Amongst others, this law deems anyone agreeing to house an undocumented migrant (not living at his/her home) in order to allow the latter to be recorded in the local register to have committed a serious offence. This will have significant consequences on undocumented migrants' access to health care, as being registered in the local register (Padrón) is a sine qua non condition for having effective health care access.
