Spain's government has announced plans to upgrade the border fences around the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla. The security system detailed in the graphic will be installed in the hope of preventing groups of immigrants from storming the fences.

How about the northern border?

Isn't Spain worried that their Muslim population might object and blow up another train or two? After all, some of these African migrants are undoubtedly Muslims.

Sorry, but I don't buy that for a minute.

While I'm not for shooting illegals I am for making any attempt to enter illegally both difficult and carrying painful consequences. As it stands now we catch a bunch of Illegals and either deport them straightaway or release them pending a hearing. If deported they just keep trying until they are successful. If released pending a hearing they just disappear. i.e., There is no downside to attempting Illegal entry.
Love the idea of the fence and will never understand why it isn't already in place let alone not even on the drawing board.

Radar and day/vision security cameras, tear gas diffusion system, detection wires, 6 m steel fence, barbed wire. Bump.

I guess the Mexicans can fly to Canada and then sneak through our northern border.

The Canadian border could use some personell but there are only around 12,000 illegal crossings from the north as opposed to over a million in the south each year.

I thought that the current Spanish government,which was hand-picked by Bin Laden himself,was oh-so-
progressive.
I mean,they've declared the US to be the most dangerous nation on earth and they've declared homosexual marriage to be just fine and dandy.
And now we see them trying to deny these poor "undocumented workers" the opportunity to enter their "Utopia".
Do I detect a very large whiff of hypocrisy on the part of this enlightened continent we call "Europe"?

I wish FOX would go there and show the wall.

They need to put about 20,000 volts of juice to that fence.

"We have a President who wants open borders from Canada to Mexico, that's why."Agree. I was just posing the question but remain deeply disillusioned with W, and not just about his Admins brain dead response to Illegal Immigration.

This is a joke. Zapaterro relaxed policing on illegal immigration about 1 year ago and gave an amnesty for illegal aliens. Blah about inhumanity and human rights and other nonsense, but the reason really was increasing socialist voting base by naturalising illegals. The Africans now coming in simply saw that as tacit approval of illegal immigration.
Now that France and the voters are starting to grumble, the dood is backpedalling and building a monstrous fence.
Typical lib. First stuffs it up, then has to pay huge bucks and enact harsh treatment to sort the mess out. instead of just sticking to the initial policy under Aznar.

It is a calculated assault on the middle class in the interest of cheap, disposable labor and an undifferentiated voting bloc.
