An aid agency says it has found more than 500 migrants abandoned in the Moroccan desert after being expelled from Spain's North African enclaves.

The migrants said they had entered or tried to enter Ceuta and Melilla but were forced back, loaded onto trucks and driven to the Algerian border.

Count yourselves lucky I'm not Dictator Of he World, pig-criminal scum.

"the sending back of immigrants as agreed by Spain and Morocco to a country which does not have minimal capacity to receive them violates Article Three of the (UN) Convention against Torture".

The way I read it, if they can successfully break & enter, the victim then has a perpetual obligation to feed, clothe, medicate, and house them.

And, yet, their voluntarily entering Morocco illegally, and camping there until ready to attempt crashing the fence, is perfectly fine? It is only being tossed back that is "torture"?

Just more proof the UN is a criminal enterprise, of the criminals, by the criminals, for the criminals.

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.

Where is the outrage? Where are the calls from the White House to exercise restraint? Doesn't the world understand that poor Palestinians are offended by this fence?

Oh, this is Spain and not Israel? Ah, then it's OK to have a fence. One standard for Israel, another for the rest of the wold.

That's a pretty nice wall!

We might impove on it just a tad but we still need one of those!
I like concrete.

exactly what the United States needs from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico

Do not forget the Canadian border. I've lived near both borders. The Canadian one is far more of a joke to cross than the Mexican one is. I'm much more concerned about a terrorist coming into the US through North Dakota than I am about one coming in through Eagle Pass.

It is a shortsighted ploy that will end up ensuring the death of the Conservative approach to Gov't by, as you say, the destruction of the Middle Class if not addressed - That is if it is not already too late. Ergo, 'Brain Dead'

Well said, and I completely agree.

Out of curiosity, what about the Bush presidency leads you to believe he gives a damn about 'a Conservative approach to government'?

What we need, yes, but what we'll never get.

Remember when Bush called the Minutemen "vigilantes?"

If the Pres believes that, what would someone like him think about a fence like thise from the gulf to the ocean?

Got me stumped there. Originally, assumed that, as a Rep he would carry through on the Rep philosophy - You know, those old, quaint cliches about limited Gov't, lower spending, etc., etc., etc. Also assumed the Senate and House would adhere to this approach as well. Guess that's why they say what the say about the word 'Assume' (A$$ out of U and ME) :-(

It allows illegal entrants to be sent back to Morocco, even if they are of different nationalities.


Perhaps we could send a few thousand of our illegals to Morocco?

I never thought I would see a decision of ZP clapped in this forum. Isn't it funny how socialists can change their minds when the have to match their leftists dreams with reality? That's exactly like when the PSOE took Spain into NATO after winning the 82' elections with an anti-NATO speech.

On the other hand, I haven't seen any comment about the obvious lie in the article.

How many trucks do you need for 500 people??? 20? 25?

So the Spanish police sneaked through the border with at least 20 trucks and drove hundreds of miles into a foreign country without being noticed and then went back???

I admire the job of MSF but they should be included in all the handbooks about Stokholm syndrome as the most flattering example. You can't just simply believe everything that this people say. The fact that they are desperate just makes them more likely to lie, not the other way.

The US needs to be building such a fence on our southern border instead of funding pork for senators, such as Ted Stevens's bridge to nowhere in Alaska. Strip the pork projects out of the transportation bill just passed and we'd have a nice chunk of change to get this fence going.
