Spain has limited options for deporting Moroccan migrants
We in Britain should be very worried indeed about the wholesale violation of Spain’s immigration law that has just taken place, with more than 49,000 unlawful migrants entering the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, in North Africa, in a single 24-hour period. This is politically explosive. Italy has already called for the suspension of the Schengen Zone. The British government's response has been noticeably less robust, with PM Burnham saying this is ‘a matter for the Spanish government first and foremost’ and offering ‘support’. Britain, and other European states, should instead call for Spain to restore order to the EU’s African border, remove those who have entered unlawfully, and prevent them from travelling onward to mainland Europe.
