From Morocco, thousands of undocumented migrants from sub-Saharan Africa have been flooding into Spain: some twenty-three thousand in the first six months of this year. And they have done it without leaving the continent of Africa. Their preferred point of entry into Europe is Ceuta, one of two Spanish enclaves — the other is Melilla — where, if they manage merely to set foot, they are considered to have made it “to Europe” and cannot be repatriated. They are home free, by the laws — crazed laws — of the E.U. Take one step on the African soil of Ceuta, and you have made it to Europe. Tens of thousands of them arrive in Morocco, hoping for a chance to try (and re-try) their luck at the security fence around Ceuta. They settle in Moroccan cities — Tetouan, Fez, Meknes — where they live among the poorer Moroccan Arabs, who regard the black Africans with evident contempt, and with whom there are often street battles. And the migrants wait.
Why has Ceuta suddenly become such an important point of entry? Until recently, sub-Saharan and North African migrants would leave for Europe from Libyan ports, with Italy as their destination. Often they would set sail in unseaworthy boats — the Arabs smuggling them in didn’t care, once they had been paid, whether their passengers lived or died, in some cases setting the boats adrift on the high seas. In case of trouble, they could count on being rescued by European ships and brought to Italian ports, where they were allowed to disembark. But that route is no longer possible. Under Minister of the Interior Mario Salvini, Italy no longer allows these boats to land, does not engage in rescue operations, and makes surer to turn away these economic migrants.
If Italy has become unwelcoming to such migrants, the new Socialist government of Pedro Sanchez, that took over in Spain at the beginning of this year, has become far more welcoming. When the Italians turned away the Aquarius, with more than 600 migrants aboard, a ship that had rescued sub-Saharan, and some Arab, economic migrants, from the six unseaworthy boats they had originally set off in from Libya for Italy, Spain stepped in and allowed the Aquarius and two Italian navy vessels to unload their human cargo this past June in Valencia. Now that it is clear that Salvini will not relent, all those sub-Saharan migrants trying to make it to Europe see their best hope lies in first getting to Morocco, then scaling the fence in Ceuta, which means they are in Spain itself, and cannot be turned back.
Recently there have been waves of these migrants attempting to scale the Ceuta fence by the hundreds — in one case, 600 made it over. Their modus operandi is always the same: they throw containers of feces, blood, quick lime, and battery acid at the Spanish guards. They come armed with wire cutters. And there’s no more barbed wire. Welcome to Europe! After all, they are migrants; they are poor; they want, and therefore they deserve, more than has so far been their lot in life; we have to understand their plight. We dare not turn them away; it would be un-Christian. Pope Francis has said so. Once they are in Ceuta, they ululate and scream and caterwaul in delight, kissing the ground, convinced that they have made it to the promised land, where they will be taken care of, and in a sense, they have. They cannot be repatriated, and once in Ceuta, and then in mainland Spain, they can take advantage of the largesse that the socialist government has ready for them — free housing, free medical care, free education and vocational training (not that many have shown an interest in becoming employed). And if they manage to get married or have a wife or wives follow them, they can receive family allowances — all the bounty that Europeans, for reasons I do not understand, seem to think they owe these people who throw feces, blood, acid, and quicklime on Spanish guards as their first act of fealty to Spain. Furthermore, once they are in Spain, some will find a way to move on to richer countries — Germany, Sweden — where they can obtain even more by way of welfare benefits of every conceivable kind. Manna from heaven. You need not do anything to deserve it. You need simply be.

So many Muslims are desperate to get out of their Sharia-law BERZERKISTANS, but as soon as they get into a free, Western welfare state, they are in hurry to implement the very same discriminatory Sharia system that creates a BERZERKISTAN in the first place.
Muslims HATE living in Islamic countries and REFUSE generally to see that discriminatory Sharia creates ALL THE VILE CONDITIONS in those countries that THEY WANT TO FLEE FROM !!!
Islam removes the ability of people to think CRITICALLY. The brainwashing is DEEP in Muslims. The best thing we can do for Muslims is to support groups like JIHAD WATCH, Bill Warner, Hamid Abdul Samed, Jay Smith, Al Fadi and ‘The Apostate Prophet’ which actively DEPROGRAM Muslims through an academic-level study of Islam and its intellectual, moral and historical problems. Islam cannot survive intense critical thought.
James Lincoln says
Mortimer,
Maybe the “desperation” of these Muslim migrants is more centered around imposing sharia law in their new host countries.

True, James.

……………………..
The purpose of sites like Jihad Watch and Bill Warner are to educate Infidels about the threat of Islam, not to “deprogram” Muslims.
When have Robert Spencer or Bill Warner ever claimed their purpose was “deprogramming Muslims”?
In fact, Robert Spencer has noted here many times that this does not work.
It is grimly true that Islam is deeply opposed to critical thought–but there is no indication of why Muslims would ever listen to Infidels and apostates, *or* any critical thought. Pious Muslims despise all of these things.

Once they are in Ceuta, they should be shipped directly to the Vatican State, where pope Francis with open heart and his OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) about loving peaceful muslims will shout “Welcome Refugees”.
Saint Peter’s basilica can easily accomodate thousands of young strong combat-ready ‘refugees’. Then we shall all live in perfect interfaith harmony; taking care not to hurt the young male refugees’ delicate religious feeling, lest they become radicalized.
Amen.

Charlie Dumaurier says
Obviously, you are not Catholic! I think they should send them to various American Evangelical churches where they can either try to convert them or beat them to death with their Bibles. Only in Evangelical America can they find salvation and true hypocrisy in it’s purest form!
Wellington says
Charles Dumaurier: Yes, Evangelicals are a true menace—as suicide bombers, decapitating people, demanding that all non-Evangelicals be treated as second-class citizens, threatening death for any criticism of their religion, et al.
Your moral (and stupid) equivalency thinking is showing most glaringly. And respecting the remote possibility you were trying to be sarcastic (I very much doubt it), your sarcasm failed miserably as well.

Dear Mr. D:
Yes, we did have the Salem witch trials and burnings, but these paled in comparison to what went on in “enlightened” Europe with thousands of witch hunts, and of course the wonderful, humane, and gentle Spanish Inquisition.
Let’s face it, just about any religion out there has wackos that unfortunately attract a following and gain traction for a while. They do terrible things in the name of their religion.
But, please go through the New Testament (you can even get interlinear Greek-English, or high quality Greek ones to do your own translations), and show me where Jesus, Peter, Paul, John, or any of the apostles demanded that anyone should be compelled to accept Jesus as messiah and savior. It is NOT there. So, anyone claiming to be called by Jesus, Joseph, Mary, or God Himself to persecute non-believers or apostates is a LIAR and should be treated as such.
Reg says
That is true, there is no compulsion. However, Jesus did teach that whoever is doing the will of God will enter into the Kingdom of God (Matt 7: 21), this following the warning given in Matthew 7: 13, 14. Why is that important? Consider Luke 17: 26, how many survived by doing Gods will? All Christians were given a command to teach about Christianity and baptise those that listen and practice righteousness (Matt 28: 19, 20) but God created man with free will to choose.

Charlie Dumaurier’s claim that American Evangelicals are beating Muslims to death with their Bibles is utterly calumny.
Bu then, he has always been an apologist for Muslim savagery. *Ugh*.
Benedict says
“You need not do anything to deserve it.” …..
No wonder this attitude from European countries generates contempt in the minds of Muslims whose religion has ingrained in them that paradise is only obtained as a recompense. And what Islamic contempt breeds we are only too familiar with in the West.

I wonder how satisfied the residents of those two Spanish enclaves are with their newest Socialist Presidente.

Actually, a standard practice in many cases. Why waste the fuel needed for the boat/raft/whatever to complete the transit when various Coast Guard and NGO ships will complete the trip to whichever port would take what are for the mainly–male, economic migrants.

Absolute Lunacy. Joint family life (Hindu family life) will be hell if this were to occur in Bharat – Bhagan forbid such an occurrence from ever manifesting in real 3d life of Bhumi Devi – Mother Earth. May all the Dharmics of Western Aryavarta (aka ‘europe’) be safe always and ever in bliss whether awake, asleep dreaming or in deep dreamless sleep or beyond in the divine realms of Swaraga and beyond.
Pagan Pride Worldwide.

Thank you for this site where we can receive actual news that mainstream press supresses on a daily basis. This is helpful for the Dharmic religions of the Planet Earth and other Dharmic realms in the many countless multiverses. Advise to Dharmics – avoid all news from official government sources – it is mostly all fraud designed to create civil unrest and `riots`by professional protestors. Thank you Narendra Modi: Gujurat di Jai.
Thank you OSHO!!!!!!!
Jan says
Time for Spain to give up their two enclaves Ceuta and Melilla to protect their country and Europe from this third world filth !!!
gravenimage says
Jan, they shouldn’t give them up–they just should not allow invading Muslim savages to gain a foothold into Europe through them.
Guy Forester says
Just a few observations:
1. I highly suspect that Morocco could at least put a dent in the flow but choose not too. Perhaps the King is hoping that the EU will tire of this avenue of assault and pay off the King to slow down or stop the influx.
2. The people of Spain still appear to be welcoming this. I wonder how many jihad attacks, rapes, and murders will finally get some people’s attention. Perhaps the negative effect on the economy will wake some up. NAH, they would rather be murdered in their sleep than wake up to reality.
3. YAY for Italy. Greece, Spain and France need to wake up and smell the coffee.

These smugglers who use unsafe boats should be praised by the Islamic world and those who want to save Muslims from drowning should be told to stop. According to a hadith that is considered reliable those who drown are considered to be martyrs assured of Paradise. In fact, the Muslims should be seeking out those smugglers who use the boats that are most likely to sink. See. the link:
