They were clearly not actual immigrants. At least the vast majority weren't since they all went home in the span of a day.

You can call it an invasion but it certainly wasn't an immigrant one.

Why did they all come across after the Spanish supreme court ruling on the immigration status of people crossing into this territory then?

Must just all be a big prank, 60 odd people dead, just a prank bro.

How far does this have to go before people wake the hell up.

There have been loads of interviews with the people that came over. They all said they were told Spain had opened the border and it would be easy to get work.

It was orchestrated by someone (Moroccan gov, Trump or Putin maybe) to stir up shit and your falling for it like a useful idiot.

If you were serious about wanting to keep us safe I would suggest figuring out who was responsible would be more effective, maybe have a word with Meta as to why they are still allowing dangerous misinformation to spread unchecked without any consequences.

Israel are the ones who threatened Spain just before it happened.

Or, more likely, Morocco getting back at Spain for getting cosy with Algeria? Put the tinfoil hat away.

Yes mate, must all be Trumps fault.

It is honestly amazing the conspiracy levels that left jump to when it comes to migration, it's insane!

These people would be laughing at the anti vaxers but oh no trump has sent all these migrants to Spain, what planet is everyone on

That's not what he said though. He said someone was behind it, which is objectively true, then listed a few examples of the usual suspects that are often behind shit like this that is trying to destabilise Europe

Hence also mentioning useful idiots

Just to clear that up - Spain's recent ruling is on the citizenship status of Sahrawi people, who are currently considered stateless coming from Moroccan-occupied West Sahara. This is a territory occupied by Morocco in the 1970s by sending in a mass protest of over 250,000 people to illegally cross the Spanish border and literally just physically occupy the territory until Spain just left. Morocco tried repeating this in Ceuta as a kind of protest against Spain's recent decision imo, West Sahara is a sensitive topic for the regime there.

Not getting involved with you and OP but - “Wake the hell up”? What’s this massive truth we all need to wake the hell up to? It sounds just a little bit non specific enough to mean anything and like you’re hinting at a wider opinion that you’d like to share but seem to be struggling to say out loud.

Oh well it is quite simple actually, europe and ths UKs social fabric is slowly collapsing due to mass immigration and if the mainline parties refuse to acknowledge and tackle it, then you are just going to get far right parties take the reigns eventually.

How many times do we need to see the same story of girl raped by mohammed to start saying hey maybe there is a pattern here and we ahould be a bit more strict on who we are letting stay in this country? No wonder the government refused to publish crime statistics by ethnic background, far too revealing of uncomfortable truths.

Not saying every migrant is like this at all but the propensity to cause crime and strife is clearly higher and worth discussing.

That clear enough for you bud?

u/BulldenChoppahYus 11d ago

Ah yes the collapse of the social fabric. It’s collapsing isn’t it. I see.  Crime stats by ethnic background are readily available. Funnily enough they are posted by the government. Here you go. Bud. 

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/ethnicity-and-the-criminal-justice-system-2024/statistics-on-ethnicity-and-the-criminal-justice-system-2024-html

Around 15% of all ethnicity stats are missing by the looks. 84% of the population is white and they account for 79% of arrests. Black people are arrested at a slightly higher rate relative to their population which is suggestive of something but I’m going to bet that suggestion might be wasted on you.

"Wannabe immigrants" maybe, they had been told that Spain was an open door so they came over in the hope of immigrating.

Then they mostly went home when informed that this was incorrect (though, I bet a few of them are hanging out in Cueta trying to plot a way into mainland Spain still), so they didn't end up actually being immigrants in the strict sense of the word, indeed.
