Illegal African migrants- Who is to blame?



Spain and Morocco are trading accusations over who exactly is to blame for the increase of illegal migrants to Spain. The last two days alone, more than 1,200 migrants have been trafficked to the borders of Spain, and Spain accuses Moroccans authorities of failing to carry out border patrols. Every year, thousands of Illegal migrants, mostly from sub Saharan Africa, make it to the borders of Europe, and border patrols have done little to dissuade these mostly young migrants from seeking a better life in Europe.

This comes even as most of Europe is deeply anti-immigration, and there has been a spate of right wing conservative parties and advocacy groups gaining ground. UKIP party in Britain is one such

Spain guards letting in illegal African immigrants.

Spain authorities are alleging that guards on the mediteranean border
are lazy and letting in migrants especially from Africa. Every year,
thousands of African migrants make it to Europe illegally through the
Mediterranean sea. Many die on the sea as a result of their boats
capsizing due to overcrowding. Many migrants hear of success stories
of their relatives abroad and are enticed by this seemingly fast paced
life. Many of the migrants from Sub Saharan Africa are jobless, and
any glimmer of hope is a chance that many cannot let go.
