Spain: Thousands of Illegal Migrants Arrive from Morocco

 Hat tip Vlad Tepes and Gates of Vienna. Translation by Fousesquawk.


Spain is dealing with yet another wave of illegal migrant crossings from Morocco. In the past 24 hours, some 5,000 migrants, identified as Moroccans, arrived at the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, literally by swimming through a breakwater. Spanish police claim that their Moroccan counterparts stood by and did nothing to stop it.

This has led to a diplomatic crisis between Spain and Morocco. The latter country is already upset that Spain has allowed a suspected war criminal into the country for medical treatment. There is speculation that Morocco allowed the crossing to occur to exert pressure on Spain.
