This paper looks for an explanation of the most recent trends in African migration to Spain. African migration is a growing phenomenon in the Iberian península, as a labor supply for sorne economic sectors: commercial agriculture, construction, tourism and domestic services. Close to 95% of the African migrants in Spain are Moroccans. Nonetheless, other African countries, like Senegal, Gambia, Cape Verde, Nigeria, Angola, etc. are sending noticeable numbers of people to Spain. This paper approaches the Sub-Saharan migration and its different evolution in the near future. Severa! immigration laws have been published since 1985, when the first one 'Ley de Extranjería' was approved. W e examine the main changes in Spanish immigration policy as it tums, more and more, a controlling artifact of labor migrants and their integration.
