I know what it means, I just need the official equivalent.
"Estan pendientes de revisión más de 300.000 peticiones de **regularización por arraigo**. Dicha cifra elevaría a 1.270.000 el número de inmigrantes en nuestro país. Un 3’13% respecto al total de la población autóctona."

Sounds like the situation here in Spain. Here’s the definition of “arraigo” as used here.
2º Acreditar una situación de arraigo en España, considerando como tal: la incorporación real o potencial al mercado de trabajo, la anterior residencia regular en España, o la existencia de vínculos familiares con extranjeros residentes o con españoles.(http://www.mir.es/dgei/notainformativaarraigo.htm)
D.R.A.E. arraigar: 4. fig. Establecerse de manera permanente en un lugar, vinculándose a personas y cosas.
I'm not sure if there is an "official" term. As it covers several different scenarios, you might have to explain it as “...300,000 applications for legalization based on employment or potential employment, prior residence or family ties.”
The following reference describes a somewhat similar situation.
"LIFE Legalization provides relief for a number of individuals seeking to become lawful permanent residents, but it is not a general amnesty program for all persons unlawfully in the United States," (http://www.immigrationlinks.com/news/news957.htm)
Hope it helps.

Here is some useful information on this subject:
Undocumented immigrants in the country are in an administrative situation which is called “presence”. Paradoxically, the Law recognizes the presence situation somehow, because it foresees the possibility to offer a temporary residence permit, when the undocumented immigrant proves a continuous stay in Spain for a minimum period of five years. This has been called “permanent regularization”, a stable way to legalize irregular immigrants included in the Immigration Law, apart from the traditional massive and sporadic regularization processes carried out in specific situations by the Government.
The period of irregular stay can be reduced to three years if the immigrant proves his/her roots (arraigo) in Spain. By roots we can consider either 1) family ties with legal residents or Spaniards or 2) real or potential entry in the labor market. Demanding entry into the labor market is a contradiction, because the foreigner does not have a work permit, which means, the foreigner is working “de facto” and not “by right”. Finally, irregular immigrants who had a residence permit before and could not renew it can ask for a temporary residence permit if they have stayed continuously in Spain for the two previous years.
