The sixth and last Vox Borders episode deals with a border between Morocco and Spain. The journey to asylum is never easy. And perhaps no one knows this better than would-be African migrants to the European Union. In North Africa, on the border of Morocco, there's a Spanish town called Melilla. It's technically Europe.
So undocumented migrants and refugees, asylum seekers, wait in limbo for a chance to scale the fence and apply for asylum in Europe. It's the first of many, many hurdles. And it's a tall one.

I’m confused why people seem to think it’s wrong to have borders that are protected
Kane Fritsch liberals and their bleeding hearts
I mean even if I lived next to a country full of Mennonite pacifists I would want someone in the job checking passports and asking a couple questions.
Nobody thinks that. We do think we should take responsibility for the welfare of other peoples than our own, should protect them if they need protection from their own countries. So yes, borders should be guarded, but those fleeing prosecution, disease, or severe economic hardship deserve our help. It's not their fault they were born where they were born.
Toon Holman there is people that protest for no borders at all I’m not saying you do or everyone does but there is a pretty large number of Americans that do I to think we should help people but we have a lot of our own that need help first and if they come they should have to do it legally and go threw the screenings and legal borders crossings
Toon Holman it’s not our fault either why should they use our benefits for their problems

Thank you for this video! I'm Moroccan and I do believe that this subject doesn't get the attention it deserves. Today numerous migrants abandoned the idea of crossing the borders to Europe and decided to settle down in Morocco as the country is experiencing a steady growth. In 2013, Morocco has launched a new migration policy to facilitate the naturalization of migrants and help them settle down in the country. However, since 2013, 2 of the 3 main reforms haven't been adopted yet and are still considered as Law projects ...furthermore my country still didn't agree on a readmission agreement with the EU commission, because Moroccan politicians don't want to be legally bound to readmit migrants from other countries. Lastly, this migration crisis is used by Moroccan authorities as a trump card to press on the Spanish authorities and the EU for settling down the Sahara conflict with Algeria and get more funds from the EU.

I think we've shed light to every corner regarding illegal immigration, but not enough light to the reason what drove them to force themselves into the continent in the first place.
I agree with you 100% because the thing behind the thing is the real thing. For the umpteenth time, let the Europeans stop stealing Africa's resources or sending weapons of mass destruction that cause wars in Africa or at the very least let the West stop meddling in the affairs of African countries. The day that the West stops all that is the day the Africans will stop climbing over those fences.
Exactly
Exploitation of the welfare
They want everything given to them for free, that's why they choose Europe
Milking western european countries for welfare and free healthcare while not working at all. 40% of immigrants in France do not work but have welfare.

@Ankur Garg iq is even not real
@P M noones agreeing with the migration, stoo making problems. he just said he blames the african government not eu countries
After a little Google search: “Several studies have shown that most African migrations are not directed towards Europe, but towards other African countries (Schoumaker et al., 2015; Sander & Maimbo, 2003) and that those moving out of Africa do not only move to Europe but also to the Gulf countries and the Americas (Bakewell & De Haas, 2007).” “Contradicting common idea that African emigration is essentially about irregular movement, previous research has suggested that most Africans migrate out of the continent in possession of valid passports, visas and other travel documentation (cf. Schoorl et al. 2000, Heering, Esveldt, Groenewold, van der Erf, Bosch, de Valk, and de Bruijn, 2000). More generally, recent scholarship has started to question the implicit assumption that African migration is ‘exceptional’ and essentially different from migration elsewhere. More and more micro-evidence emerges indicating that most Africans migrate for family, work or study (Schoumaker et al., 2015) (Bakewell & Jόnsson, 2011), as is the case in other world regions.” I always do a little Google search for my own sanity after watching western news/documentaries these days.
The Gulf is full of Southern Asians (Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis), Africans tend to move to Europe (especially if relatives have already moved) or to the Americas, especially to the US and Canada if they speak English
micro-evidence? That doesn't sound very compelling my friend

They blame racism, but don't tell you that the migrants seen climbing fences can also apply for asylum at the border just like the Syrian refugees. The reason they don't is because either they don't want to go through the process and wait, and just want land feet at one of the refugee centers and then they can stay, or because they know they will be denied, as they aren't from a war torn country, aren't being oppressed etc
That's not true for everyone whatsoever

But why do they have to risk death going to Europe? There are many neighboring nations that would likely take them in and that aren't in conflict. Most of them aren't fleeing from war but rather are economic migrants.
then why don't they go to those other neighboring nations?

Currently Spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe, as well as a deficit problem in its budget. It is literally impossible to grant inmigrants good living conditions. Most of them end up involved in ilegal activities such as drug trafficking. As we can see in the video, the ones who try to jump the fence belong to the young part of the population; by fleeing their homeland in search of a better life they end up compromising their own country's future.
I would also remark that most of these immigrants use Spain as a way to go to France or England.
Here we can't deal with Spanish people without a job, so imagine how it would be with immigrants. First of all, we have to solve all our problems(mass corruption, debt,unemployment, etc etc)then, just then, and maybe, we could help those poor people. But it would be a better solution to solve the problems they have in their contries.

I think that what a lot of people fail to realize it’s that both cities do not feel Moroccan nor do they want to leave Morocco. In the 18th century, Gibraltar was conquered by the British and since then it’s been British. They do not feel Spanish, they don’t wanna be Spanish. Ceuta was conquered by the Portuguese back in 1415 and had been a very turbulent area since forever. One of the things about being strategically important is that you’ll change hands a lot through history. Essentially it had been a “Moroccan” (as in controlled by what is today Modern-day Morocco) city for (non-consecutively) 200 years, but if we take the amount of time it was hold by the Visigoths of Spain and the different Spanish Taifas, it gets to roughly the same amount. Finally, if we take the actual time it’s been under Spain herself, it’s around 382 years, plus the time it was under Portugal’s and Iberian’s (former+latter) influence. Melilla was actually (as a city) under Moroccan influence by quite more time, little over 300 years. Since then, by Spain herself for 500+ years. It doesn’t matter whhere they are, but rather what their inhabitants feel like.
Well spain and portugal were under morocco for more than 700 years and we are not claiming the whole land

FUNK LORD yea lemme doge some bullets and pay for college while I can hardly buy food and water
Pabebeng Biker the west controls like none of Africa if anything China controls more
What I don't understand - and this sounds heartless but I mean it in good faith - is why they can't just stay in Morocco? Since they're not in danger of being deported and there's no war over there, why do they need to get to Spain?And yeah sure, for a better life I understand that, but in that case why does it matter if they're coming from a war torn country or a peaceful but dirt poor country?It just doesn't make sense to me.
I think this is a good argument to make. I have often wondered that as well. I don't want to diminish the plight of these people - but is there something stopping them from working in Morocco? Also globally - I think we need to end the sham of "Work permission" -- why should anybody decide if a person is allowed to work - if they are qualified for a job - they should just get it!
Morocco simply can't deal with the massive influx of immigrants, either. What happens right now is that they receive large aid packages from Europe of all sorts - money to build and maintain the fences, to train police, to adopt new technologies, to feed the Sub-Saharan immigrants, etc. This means that Morocco can employ more of their people and keep the Sub-Saharans moderately fed, but only as long as the EU sees a value in doing so. Basically, if Morocco gives these people any sort of legal recognition, the country would implode - there'd suddenly be thousands of homeless, unemployed Sub-Saharans that instead of being in a limbo, would become Morocco's problem. And then, the EU could easily wash their hands and leave them stranded with this massive problem. Europe doesn't want them, and Morocco only wants them as long as they're undocumented and trying to cross over.
I live in morocco,and the thing is,a lot of them chose to stay here,those who really just want peace and to look for a job to provide for their famillies do stay,those you see in the video are just chasing the eu dream,what Briss said is also true ,there are some benefits that they can get in Europe that they cant get here..
Maybe the youth unemployment rate of 20% might be a hint why Moroccans want to leave their country...or the extremely tense situation of the West Saharan conflict. All just thoughts.
It's a lower youth unemployment rate than Spain, though.
Awesome video. Thank you
It's wild that we question Spain's right to a 600 year-old territory, but levying that same criticism upon an 80-year-old country that's partaking in active genocide is taboo

@Shanti Andía I know . I just responded to the other posters claim.
@Shanti Andía *Technically* he isn't wrong.The State of Israel exists since 1948, so since 76 years, but the Israelites have lived there since ancient times. There were also the Kingdoms of Israel and Judea during the Iron Age . The Israelites were displaced many times during their history - by the Assyrians, the Romans, the Rashiduns and the Ottomans. In my opinion, they merely return to the home they were displaced from.
Israel all the way imo 🙂
Could they return home without the support of imperial powers doing to others and aiding the Israelis to do themselves what has been done to them for centuries?

Tomy Ray Spain is a shithole, just take a look at your countries economy and stability that will only worsen as time goes on with your feminist socialist government, not to mention how much worse it will get with the upcoming civil war(s) Africa is much worse than Spain obviously, but why compare a somewhat first world country to third world? Most of the immigrants from Africa go to Spain not to stay in Spain but to get to other places in Europe such as France Denmark Sweden ETC
Tomy Ray just thanks to the EU. Before joining the EU Spain was a shithole. Spain is more like Greece (actually Greece was better before joining the EU) or any other eastern european country in the EU. Not all countries benefited from the EU, such as Italy and it all because of those poor countries like Spain, who joined.
Tomy Ray I said before joining the EU. I live in Italy. Like 20 years ago there were no unemployment issues, now the situation is very bad. If you lose your job it might take you a year or more to find a new one and as I always knew Italy is far more richer than Spain. So if Italy is ruined, I am trying to imagine how is the situation in Spain. And I said Spanish was a shithole before joining the EU not now. Some countries benefit from joining the EU, others get worse, the case of Italy! Also a lot of spaniards (polish and italians as well) migrated to the UK and that’s one of the reasons brexit is happening. If it is a rich country to live in, nobody would have left for UK. There are some spaniards migrants in Morocco too and no they’re not bringing jobs, they are actually taking jobs from locals. Those who bring jobs are mostly italians and french.

Well if European ancestors didn't steal everything from Africa, Maybe the situation would have been very different.
Anass Talai it wasn’t just Europeans. In fact it was mostly Arabs, they ran the trade routes and the slave trade.
many would argue that it would be a worse place than it is today... south africa is not safe, zimbabwe is becoming poor.
Yeah classic west, let's blame Arabs. You mean Arabs begged the west to sell them slaves ? wasn't it Europeans who paid for it and asked for it. It's exactly the same situation as Spain Morocco borders. Europe pays Morocco to do its dirty work for them. (Almost like let's build a wall and make Mexico pay for it).
Even if Europeans slaved Africans, it's not a reason why Africa is poor. Europe faced in its history extremely high dangerous from antique to modern. Persians, Huns, Mongols, Black death, inner wars like 30 years war, I and II world war... Cold war... Not only Africans faced their troubles, Europeans had faced perhaps much more terrible events than Africans slavery and exploitation. The difference is in the mentality between Africans and Europeans. Europe always tries to rebuild itself, and strive for the future, when Africans are sitting on their asses. Compare Europe to Africa before slavery. You will see that Europeans aren't the reason of poverty in Africa.

@morpheu We are all human. We evolved from families, to tribes, to cities, to states, countries. We need to make the next evolutionary leap and evolve to unite as mankind. Sooner or later it's going to happen. The question is : do you want to take the red pill, go on an adventure of uniting people or will you take the blue pill and stay asleep and continue living in this ugly dying world like nothing never happened?
@morpheu assumptions are the mother of all fuckups. You don't need to give up any of those things you described(forget about those things, let go of those negative attached feelings and open your mind, try to see possiblies, don't let your natural pessimistic bias get the best of you) . We only need to unite around a few common sense ideas like enforcing human right, saving our planets sensitive eco system, choosing peace over power (power struggles are pointless anyways if you enforce the declaration of human rights everywhere), honor diplomatic achievements, combat corruption and make all those points a priority. PS also try to fight the cognitive dissonance, my ideas sound quite radical I know, it's because they are unprecedented like abolishing slavery once was.

I am Spanish and the borders in Melilla and Ceuta have always been a problem. The current situation is wrong because so many africans are suffering, but you cant simply open the borders of Europe to everyone who wants to enter. It is a very complex situation because it not only depends on Spain's interests but also on all the other nations of the EU. The only solution i can think of is to discourage people from illegally crossing the border and promote more legal asylum policies. But without the collaboration of the EU that is impossible.
the only good reply
SPain has to decolonize Sebta and Mellilia and they havec to recognize Moroccan Sahara. End of probleM.
Why you have borders in Morocco
@@freewal first, Ceuta and Melilla are not colonies, they are autonomous cities with representation in the Spanish Congress and second, Morocco has no justified rights over the Sahara area, they invaded it and annexed it without doing a referendum in there. Get your facts straight please.
Why UK left the EU lol, You basically can’t even rule your own country if you’re in the EU. Sorta Garbage
Never, in my whole long life have I seen so many prospective civil engineers, architects, surgeons, barristers and politicians living in a single forest camp.

goood job 💪🏼💪🏼
Why don’t these refugees try and build a life for themselves in Morocco, wouldn’t it be easier than getting into Europe?
They have a dream kind of illusion in that Europe is a nice place where they will have like a perfect life. So as long as they have this in mind they are not going to notice other opportunities
Don't say bullshit and think it'll magically turn to a fact. The biggest racism issues are always related to Europe. If you're ancestors didn't steal from Africa they wouldn't have been fleeing now their countries, and you wouldn't have put Morocco in such bad situation.
Damien McGonnell hahaha and all the Europeans are hardworking white collar people looking to prosper? But no. Your people are sucking their countries dry of welfare, sitting down at home with their subpar degrees or even lack off, crying to immigration to fall😂😂

@@SoMonstersDoExist the ones paying the taxes for the welfare they certainly plan on using.
I don't believe this is Europe fault for not having the immigrants fleeing over, the people that tried to cross the border is in massive number, yet the population in Europe has to be controlled. Moroco however is the one to be blamed as people try to flee not refugees but simply they have no hope in their own homeland
Moroco isnt that bad. Its just perfect place for all immigrants to move to spain or italy. And its definietly not europe fault and europe problem that these people want to escape to europe without any documents
Not Morocco's fault here
Spain has more migration to Northern European countries than Moroccans living in Spain.

This vid makes it sound like having a strong border and wanting to protect it is a bad thing. Pffft.
@Aghilas I sincerely don't understand how could you end thinking Melilla is a colony.
@Aghilas I may be Spanish but the decolonisation committee isn't and don't consider that Spain has any colony. The ones who has a problem with colonies are the UK with 10 territories and USA with 3.
That does seem to be the narrative. Having no border security is a bad thing! If you had a nice club, you’d better have someone to work the door.
How is it not a colony when it wasn't Spanish land and native people lived and are still living there?
so if they touch EU soil while crossing illegally they`re entitled to apply for asylums? who made this laws? lol
Yes... that is the European Union law but this does not determine if they are free. They are held in camps in Europe or elsewhere until they are approved. People are in camps from years, some are lucky and less. It depends on the countries intake.
the laws were written by globalists who believe in 'no borders' and no national soveriegnty
The laws were written by people who had to seek refuge whenthey were targeted because they were jews or who fled the wars in europe. Because of this they put laws in place that made sure others would find refuge aswell when they were in a similar position...
Decent people wrote them.
Do you know what asylum means?
What's sad it's that they never thought you will be deported no matter what, all that hard works goes for nothing.

I kinda feel like Europe and Moroccan are being portrait In a bad light here. Here’s just a quick reminder that Europe and Morocco are not the bad guys.
Exactly
Exactly
That's Vox for you...
When you say that Europe and Morocco are not "the" bad guys it sounds like you think the refugees and asylum seekers are the bad guys. Do you have no sympathy for the guy who said that he was fleeing boko haram, the jihadi terrorist organization that among various other crimes against humanity, kidnaps, trains and kills children? These people are being killed for crossing a border unlawfully, what would it take for you to risk your life to cross a border? If you were plopped down in sub-saharan africa without any papers or money and being persecuted, would you try to escape persecution or get somewhere where you believe you can prosper?
Europe and Morocco are exactly the bad guys! The whole reason these desperate people are willing to risk their lives to cross the border is because making the 100m dash to the "immigration center" on the other side means safety. Europe and Morocco's policies created this mess. Why is the dude who got beat by a nail bat and stabbed in the neck still trying to find a way in? The whole situation feels like a video game, like a life-or-death level of Super Mario, and it all started because of boko haram and other terrorist groups started making life miserable for the people. Stop the wars, and you stop the migration crisis. If Europe and Morocco really wanted to stop the problem, why doesn't Spain just give Melilla back to Morocco and treat it like any other Moroccan city? Or remove the immigration center safe haven, which also removes the incentive for people to jump the death wall. Instead, they spend vast resources on building and reinforcing a silly wall, using police to bully the desperate people, and using short-term fixes like shipping them to far away cities. None of these tactics really address the underlying problem
If Jon Snow built trenches like this, they would still be defending the Winterfell.

"They do europe's dirty work." You mean they keep people from illegally crossing their border? Like EVERY nation is supposed to do? You know that Spain keeps europeans from illegally crossing into Morocco right? EVERY NATION is supposed to do this! It is not "somebody else's dirty work".
Vox is owned by a liberal Jew so although this report is balanced it should be reminded that Israel built a a border wall to keep Palestinians and black Africans out, but liberals tend to hold Europe and United States to a different standard. During the last border crisis in Palestine 2 years ago, Jewish border guards sprayed Palestinians who came to force the border shouting "Death to Israel" from machine guns killing over a thousand. I like that liberal woman speaking out about Morocco doing the "dirty work" for Spain rather than "heavy lifting" like she just learned this word yesterday and is too eager to weaponize it and use it thinking she is cool and hoping for a promotion.
@Daniyal Beg More like 300 million just from Nigeria and another 1 billion from the rest of Africa. This type of ignorant treatment of statistics is how the left chooses to dismiss serious problems.
Except the Moroccans don't stop them from crossing their borders when they first come in from the south. Don't be naive, the Moroccans want these Sub-Saharans to remain in Morocco and keep trying, so that the European aid money keeps coming in.
