Ever since Spain agreed to take in the rescued African migrant boat people when Italy refused to, Spain has become the favored destination for those fleeing Africa's problems.
Quote:
Some 400 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa reached Spain Thursday after storming a double barrier between Morocco and the Spanish territory of Ceuta, with some attacking security forces with quicklime, police said.
The scramble over the barrier is the biggest in Ceuta since February 2017, when more than 850 migrants entered the overseas territory over four days.
It comes as Spain becomes the number one destination for migrants crossing the Mediterranean by boat, surpassing Italy with 19,586 arrivals so far this year, according to the International Organization for Migration.

And this is why the US has to stand firm on our policies with illegal immigration and be stricter with who qualifies for refugee status. We can't afford to have open borders and be swayed by every sob story of woe.
And IMO Canada should be sharing in our processing and holding costs and taking in half of those who present themselves at our southern borders. The US is Canada's border wall and it's unfair that they don't do more to help bonafide refugees from Central America, Mexico and Haiti.
