Spain Announces Plan To Reduce Influx Of Africans, Other Migrants By 60%
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

While visiting the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) in Warsaw, Poland, last Friday, the minister urged the agency’s director, Hans Leijtens, to continue collaborating with the Spanish government and its African partners to drive back illegal migrants colonists.

The Spanish government has said it will cut down the influx of African migrants colonists by almost 60 per cent, according to a statement by the nation’s interior minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska.

While visiting the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) in Warsaw, Poland, last Friday, the minister urged the agency’s director, Hans Leijtens, to continue collaborating with the Spanish government and its African partners to drive back illegal migrants colonists.

Grande-Marlaska boasted that their collaboration so far had yielded substantial results, noting that Spain recorded a sharp 56.9 per cent decrease in illegal migration, as opposed to the 25.6 per cent recorded in 2022.

"Spain’s experience shows that the best way to deal with this phenomenon is to work with our partners to prevent irregular flows in the countries of origin and transit, based on cooperation, based on mutual trust and sustained in time," Schengenvisainfo quoted the interior minister as saying.

He said the majority of the reductions were seen throughout the peninsula’s coasts, as well as in Ceuta, the Canary Islands, and the Balearic Islands—all of which are sites of seaborne entry into the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
The minister claimed that since Spain, Cyprus, Greece, and Italia are frequently the first countries illegal immigrants colonists enter, their borders needed to be protected.

"External borders are not only national but European, and given the challenges we face, states of first entry must be supported politically and operationally," Grande-Marlaska said.

#3 I would not sink them. I would seize the boat.

#4 Many of the boats are little more than hulks, barely able to make it into international waters before they start to sink. The people smugglers depend on rescuers getting there in time to pick them up — in some cases radioing the ships (NGOs and national Coast Guards) to let them know another load of humanity is headed their way. So confiscating the boats would not be effective.

Sadly, the choices are to pick them up and take them to Europe, pick them up and take them back to wherever they launched from, or let them sink.

#5 I would seize the NGO boats that are coordinating the hulk flotillas. The immigration from African is no more organic than it is from Mexico. Governments are handing money over to NGOs that are acting as a travel services including false advertising to attract migrants. There was a truck found this week with about 100 kids unaccompanied. Everyone involved in creating this situation is awash in blood and evil. Where were the kids headed? A factory? That would be the best option. Where are the parent? This has to be stopped.

#6 That sounds like a plan, Super Hose.
