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

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.

Per capita?

Per Capita, the slogan for the Tommy brigade.

If you want to post a stat, do it. But the majority of rapists are are white men.

"Recent reporting and FOI-based analyses show foreign nationals are disproportionately represented in some UK sexual‑offence statistics:"

Did you want to point to something in particular? Yes this ^

I bothered to read it. Interesting stats.

Are we just talking rapists or are we talking men who pay women for services? The latter also treating women as meat.

Never heard of it, but a quick Google suggests it’s right wing website, owned by a Bulgarian not living in the UK.

Why don’t you post ONS stats?

The majority of rapists are white men.

That’s the point you’re trying to counteract, and you’ve failed spectacularly.

Oh I don’t think the UK will be majority Muslim by 2030 that’s only 4 years away.

No not majority but people with inflexible views on women’s place in society, homosexuality, dress, behaviour when the rest of the population have a laissez faire attitude -I know whose laws will call the shots

to add they already influence the votes of MPs - those in largely Muslim areas will of course promote their wishes. Those in largely Christian areas will of course promote their wishes.

Banoffeemuffin · 30/07/2026 19:31

They're like the UK and refusing to protect their borders so they deserve it., put the military or navy in the sea and it would stop within a week. Australia intercept all boats and detain the migrants on a separate island, they don't have a boat problem anymore.

Do you get many billionaires raping 12 year olds? And don't try telling me we have rapists in this country i know so there is no need to increase the probability of it happening.

You should read about Epstein, Maxwell and their mates. It'll blow your mind.

Another scaremongering “those dangerous immigrants are invading and taking over” thread.

Honestly how can you say that in light of what is happening? If thousands are crossing from Morocco into Spanish territory (not across the Strait of Gibraltar) they are illegally entering the EU. It's a tiny area and will quickly be swamped, actually IS being swamped. They need assistance in order to sort out the problem, but how is that going to go? Perhaps those illegally entering will have to be ferried over to Spain! How many more people must we accept arriving this way before the system totally breaks down. It already has, in Cueta.

You mean like those who were arrested at the Southampton riots?

The majority had previous for domestic abuse.

I don’t think it’s that the government is unbothered, it’s just extremely difficult to deal with.

Poland deal with it very easily.

abracadabra1980 · 30/07/2026 19:37

@Ballooney100% agree. We are being flooded with undocumented men and I also agree it's unfathomable. We are in huge debt as a country. We need to reduce numbers here and stop offering fucking benefits to all and sundry. I can only presume the people who call folk like us far right, do not have daughters. The first duty of a Government is to protect its citizens. It wont be long before there is an uprising in this country. I work up North with a huge amount of ABC1 demographic men, think Doctors, Engineers, Scientists and IT / AI business owners. I have only spoken with one, who supports these men who are invading our country and feels pity on them. The rest of them are fuming, silently.

'Uprising'? Doubtful. More like bunches of domestic abusers throwing bins and shouting at police.

I never get this argument. Yes we have enough of our own arseholes that we can’t do anything about, so let’s just let in more undocumented men from places where people don’t visit/go anywhere near for a reason, where women are treated like second class citizens, and homosexuality is a no no, as a starter for ten for potential problems.

Because you know, the majority of rapists are white men so it’s ok. 🙄

Make that make sense.

EppingTrain · 30/07/2026 19:41

The I ignore per capita and "white man bad too" brigade are out. Ignoring data across multiple multiple European countries now.

EppingTrain · 30/07/2026 19:42

You show and explain the per capita evidence, clearly lay it out, and they just brush it off and ignore it.

Maybe for the time being but the tipping point will be reached eventually.

EppingTrain · 30/07/2026 19:43

Like imagine ignoring actual factual statistics and data just because "white man bad too"

The same posters as well .who just ignore the evidence and data across multiple threads.

I don’t understand how some people can’t see that boatloads of men entering into a country with no documentation and allowed to roam freely isn’t a massive national security risk and also disproportionately a risk to the safety of women and girls.

Even if we put aside the debate about whether or not migrant men from seriously misogynistic cultures have an increased offending rate, they are still men. On that basis alone they pose a risk to women and girls. I can’t fathom why we continue to allow this to happen.

The argument seems to be that because some white British men rape and beat women, women are racist if they object to letting men from deeply misogynistic countries have a go too.
