AIBU to worry about large numbers of undocumented men arriving in Spain?

[MaturingCheeseball]

Thousands of young men from Morocco and beyond swimming to Spain. Spain obviously has encouraged the problem with their amnesty for existing migrants, but thousands more arriving with no means of support and undocumented is going to cause huge problems. Large numbers will no doubt be ultimately trying to reach the UK.

It’s harsh, but we cannot accept infinite numbers of men.

Asylum seekers used to be random ballet dancers or athletes from Eastern Europe, not hundreds of thousands of undocumented males.

I despair. I don't want to live in a muslim country. I was born in the UK, and actually I think it's quite fair and accepting of incomers. But IMO, the incomers do the fitting in, not the natives.

Larry for PM

It's funny because 10 years ago it was polish and other eastern European people being demonised. The UK 'made Brexit happen' and EU nationals aren't interested in the UK now and people have moved on to demonising someone else whilst looking back mournfully at those hardworking, educated Europeans and pretending they didn't they drive away.

@TopPocketFind I think the smugglers are the criminals, overloading the boats.

I'm sure we all agree with that.

But Starmer said he would "Smash the gangs" - just remind me how that panned out.....🤔

No need to despair. Just stay living in the UK if you don't want to live in a Muslim country. Nobody is going to force you to move.

You have also had thousands of Morrocans throw your humanity back in your face. The Spanish have shown they aren't accommodating to tourists. Who are the racists? Actually, Xenophobics are just as ugly.

They're laughing all the way to the bank. Oh no, forgot they don't need banks.

It wasn’t the Eastern Europeans who were “feared” - but prior to Brexit there was the genuine threat of Turkey joining the EU and opening the free movement gates from the Middle East. It happened anyway 🤷‍♀️

You've failed to address my point, you implied things that are untrue, such as Spain being so much safer or that we dont have proper employment rights. But if you're genuinely interested, you can start with the Equalities Act if you like?

Also, just so you know, it comes across as incredibly arrogant to assume we're all thick and only you, someone in Spain, has fully grasped British laws or lack of them.

My sentiments exactly. Cats would never allow any of this.

Leave the males in Cueta, don’t let them into mainland Spain. They’ll soon get bored, there is no war or danger to claim asylum from in Morocco, they’re economic migrants. So why should they be let into mainland Europe? It’s illegal to do that, force their way into a country, they should just be ignored. It’s a big shame for the Spanish in Cueta though, they’ll be overrun with men with different cultural values, and little respect for women….

So why so many coming here?

😆😆

WTF since when did the cost of my dog's ear drops, chew sticks and flea/tick injections come into this debate?! 😵‍💫

Cueta is so tiny it'll be overrun in days. Must be frightening for those living there. Am actually surprised it hasn't happened earlier.

If you google "migrants storming Spain", you get hundreds of items by youtube, GB news, Facebook and other "reputable" sources. If you sift through the results, you get a BBC article talking about the June incident on Moroccan border where hundreds of people tried to force their way from Morocco to Spain but got stopped by Moroccan police. 77 officially killed, 133 made into Spain. Hardly "thousands".

There are still around 4 million EU citizens living in the UK - how many more do you want?

Right?! They money I spend on pet care comes from my net income, you know, what's left after taxes.

The governent doesn't pay for my dog? I don't understand this argument at all....

@BiteSizedLife - c’mon, where’s your compassion? That money spent on dog chews and worming could be donated to blokes coming off small boats.

Bulgarians and Romanians were also used as a threat because of their natural criminal natures.

I generally like the east Europeans who live and work in the UK, although I think they could be better at putting their beer cans in the rubbish bin.

Hmmm reading around a bit about the history of Cueta I'm wondering whether this is simply an attempt to reclaim it for Morocco, force the inhabitants out by force of numbers, rather than an attempt to carry on into the rest of Europe. It's a bit like the Falklands situation, an outpost of one empire but claimed by another.

I thought we would see GB News make an appearance. Always part of the nothing here to see argument.
