Spain's approach to immigration
-
Nariola Romo, 34, and her family immigrated to Spain from Colombia, but that wasn’t their initial plan. Their goal was to travel to the United States, but they couldn’t obtain the two loans they needed to make the trip, so they sought a new life in Europe instead.
“Things didn’t work out for us, and we thought it was God’s will that we didn’t get the chance to go there, and, well, here we are,” she said.
Today, as she nears obtaining legal status in Spain, she feels grateful for the turn her life has taken. “Look at how things are in the United States with migrants. It seems like God didn’t want us to be there, because with everything that’s happened, we would have been deported already,” she said.

Loans? Or visa?
I found the same article on Telemundo. It used the phrase "dos préstamos". I tried three translation websites and they all translated it to "two loans".
I've found the translators to be generally lousy for LIthuanian, but I would have thought Spanish would be a) easier (no noun declension) and b) far more popular so any errors have been corrected.
What does your native speaker of Spanish say about it?
