There has been a slight recovery in the birth rate in Spain, thanks in part to immigrant births

The number of babies born to foreign parents in Spain has now reached 15% of the total.

The average number of children per couple in Spain last year was 1.34, compared to 1.33 the previous year, according to provisional data from the National Statistic Institute INE. Last year saw 465,616 births in Spain, of which nearly 70,000 were to a foreign mother.

Over the year there was a reduction in the total number of marriages, at 209,125, despite 1,275 gay marriages. In nearly 30,000 of the marriages one or more of the partners was a foreigner.

I think that although it would be great to keep different countires like spain with spanish people i believe that we also need to realise its all part of evolution and change. if two people love each other enough to bring a child into the world i think we should respect that and be greatful that the world isn't completely racist and it's nice to know that countries are able to interact with each other.
