Migrants Rush Border Wall In Attempt To Gain Asylum/Work… In Spain

New footage of migrants trying to force their way across the border has been released, but this time the migrants aren't from South America and the border isn't the U.S. one. Migrants from sub-Saharan Africa attempted to cross the fence that separates Morocco from the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. This isn't a new issue for the Spanish enclave, as Ceuta has seen repeated attempts by migrants from the sub-Saraha to breach or circumvent the massive border wall that the Spanish Government installed (despite the objections of the Moroccan government) in 1993. The Ceuta border is one of the only land borders Europe shares with an African nation so it's seen by many as a relatively easy to get into a European Union nation to file an asylum claim... surely easier than attempting to make your way in a boat across the Mediterranean, which carries a lot of risk. As recently as 2021 at least 6000 migrants forced their way onto European soil by swimming around the border fence at low tide.

It's always nice to know that some of the problems that we think of as being entirely unique to America are shared by other countries too, at least.
