The exact number of foreigners living in Spain illegally is not clear. <\/p>\n<p>Many such migrants make a living in Spain\u2019s underground economy as fruit pickers, caretakers, delivery drivers, or other low-paid but essential jobs often passed over by Spaniards. <\/p>\n<p>Without legal protections, they can be vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.
