Your empire didn’t end until 1976.
And absolutely none of this has anything to do with the fact that stopping people from migrating will do anything to fix poverty.
You call yourself a leftist and you have no concept of how imperialism shapes our world.

Nobody said imperial powers were immune to poverty. They thrive off of it, that’s where they get their soldiers. Like what, I’m supposed to ignore US imperialism because of the vast poverty that exists in that country?
Either way that doesn’t mean you get to turn away the people who were made poor by imperialism and tell them to fix their own country, regardless of how much you personally benefited.
It isn’t fucking relevant that you’re not in a wealthy country. In fact it makes it harder to understand why you’ve got no compassion for anyone else. Immigration doesn’t hurt you personally.
Someone has taken you in with faux-leftist reactionary rhetoric, but it’s clear you don’t care to learn the reality, so I don’t see much point in carrying on talking to you.

I don’t care about the US. I’m not talking about the US.
I’m talking about my country. The US is not the whole world.
Mass inmigration have some negative impact to some workers.
But if you somehow think that Spain was a imperialistic colonial superpower by 1975 is a waste of time trying to explain it. Talking about it rationally is against your dogma, your identity politics, and the anti-worker pseudoleft, so… No point.
