El Pais on Moroccan Immigration


El Pais is a socialist newspaper that comments in this article about Spanish police in Melilla, which boarders Morocco, not following protocol when they catch Moroccans illegally immigrating into Spain. The police are supposed to catch them, then take them to police headquarters to plan their return to Morocco. Instead, the newspaper is finding that between 20 and 30 percent are not brought to headquarters. The Spanish police just send them back to Morocco rather than following procedure. This is not completely surprising, as immigration is a complicated topic not only in Spain but all over the Mediterranean.
