AIBU to be deeply concerned about the recent influx of 30k+ undocumented arrivals in Spain?

[ChirpyUmberBiscuit]

AIBU to feel really unsettled by the recent news coming out of Spain and Ceuta? Reports are showing that tens of thousands of undocumented migrants have crossed over in such a short window, completely overwhelming local infrastructure, reception centers, and security forces.

I know migration is always a sensitive and compassionate topic, but looking at these numbers practically, I don't see how any European border region can absorb 30,000 to 50,000 arrivals almost overnight without severe strain on public resources, local housing, and emergency services.

What worries me even more is the precedent it sets for the rest of Europe and the UK down the line. Surely there has to be a firm balance between humanitarian support and actual, enforceable border control?

Am I being completely unreasonable to view this as a serious policy and security crisis, or are others feeling equally concerned about where this leads?

Would love to hear honest thoughts on how this should actually be handled!

Error

They keep arguing with me about something i wasn’t even talking about. I made my point and they think im talking about something else completely different. Been like this for 3 days now. I’m losing the will to live 🤦‍♀️🤣

I think if we don't believe that we become more susceptible to unlimited immigration. Understanding the root causes influences the systems and politics we advocate for.

Is it? Please explain. My understandting of metaphor is when one thing becomes another eg the sun was a ball of fire.
How is "playing the race card" a metaphor?

Of course I have heard the saying, it's nothing new. But it's not a metaphor and it's not a game.

I don't live under a rock. Thanks

If you’ve heard it and nothing new, why do you continue to drone on about it and act daft by saying “it’s not a game”! What a pointless argument!

Oh and just for you, straight from google
“Yes, "playing the race card" is a metaphor. It compares a real-world discussion or accusation about race and racism to a game of cards, where someone pulls out a hidden or powerful "trump card" to win an advantage or shift an argument.”

Dismissal of Real Issues: Many sociologists and critics note that the metaphor frames serious discussions of systemic bias as a mere "game". 1, 2]
Silencing Tool: The accusation is frequently used to invalidate or minimize legitimate complaints about discrimination by implying the person raising the issue is acting in bad faith.

Also from Google, clearly all crazed lefties.

I was reading BBC news today and it says another wave is predicted for mid-August after BBC Arabic found dozens of Facebook posts and some had over 100k followers calling for another crossing and offering swimming equipment.

This has spooked quite a few EU countries, but mainly Italy who wont remove their border controls as they are worried about not only the first wave, but this impending second one. Now Spain have put border controls in place for Italy.

Hence lots of fighting over the Schengen border controls.

Of course it will happen again and again

people feel safer and more determined in numbers

and everyone who crosses knows the dangers that it’s not a guarantee that it will be safe or a success but it won’t stop them trying

It had also been widely reported that the young Moroccans may have gone home, but not the sub-Saharan migrants.
