Default Re: 30,000 immigrant waiting to jump the borders

Then you should read here: Immigrant Crisis in Spain. Massive Assaults to the Borders in Ceuta and Melilla

Cruel? Perhaps. But the general feeling here is that the Sub-Saharans that we are seeing on the news are not the image of a starving people. Rather, they look very well fed and in good health (except for when they arrive on the boats, dehydrated during the travesy).

One of them told a TV that he had paid a few thousand dollars to arrive here. Now, a few thousand dollars is not something that you would expect a starving Black from Africa to be able to afford.

As for comments on "human rights", much has been said these days. The usual NGOs from Spain and other E.U. countries.

Just yesterday I read that some soldiers deployed at the fences of Ceuta and Melilla were complaining that they were there for nothing. They can't use force against the assailants, so they don't understand what they are doing there. Crazy.

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
