The Mediterranean shipping lane is almost 15 km (9 miles) wide at its narrowest and is often used by migrants trying to get to Europe.
More than 75,000 have tried to cross the Mediterranean from North Africa in the first half of 2014, landing in Italy, Greece, Spain and Malta, the UNHCR agency says, with about 800 people dying in the attempt.

Once they get onto Spanish/European soil they are home free and will never be deported. While Australia has a new conservative prime minister who is allowing none of these types (99% muzzie refugees) to reach Australia soil. Their boat is intercepted.
Actually what the Aussies do is to transfer them all onto a an unsinkable yellow pod style rescue boat. This is towed back to Indonesia. The original leaky scow is sunk out in the ocean. The Aussies kick them off the pod boat and take it back home to use again.
This is to foil ye ol refugee scam of sinking the boat you are on or setting fire to it so the Aussies have to bring them to Aussie soil for hospital treatment etc etc

THIS is what awaits asylum-seekers trying to get to Australia on dodgy wooden smuggling boats - the gift of an air-conditioned, 90-seat lifeboat, and an armed escort back to Indonesia.
This is the first close-up look at one of the 11 lifeboats that the Abbott Government has sourced out of Singapore in its uncompromising fight to stop the boats - a fight that it appears to be winning.
The Spaniards must be “sensitive”. They should give the immigrants citizenship, free medical care, drivers’ licenses, voting rights, free phones, welfare, free apartments, free education, free plane flights to nice places and basically font-of-the-line treatment. If they fail to do this, they should be investigated by the UN for crimes against humanity.
