Show the answer
False
Why
False. Recent INE figures put foreign nationals at roughly 13 per cent and the foreign-born at roughly 18 per cent, a five-point gap created by naturalisation and by children born in Spain to migrant parents who hold Spanish nationality. Which measure is quoted changes the size of "the immigrant population" substantially.
