The sixth and last Vox Borders episode deals with a border between Morocco and Spain. The journey to asylum is never easy. And perhaps no one knows this better than would-be African migrants to the European Union. In North Africa, on the border of Morocco, there’s a Spanish town called Melilla. It’s technically Europe.

So undocumented migrants and refugees, asylum seekers, wait in limbo for a chance to scale the fence and apply for asylum in Europe. It’s the first of many, many hurdles. And it’s a tall one.

  2. Everyone talks how difficult is cross this border for them. No one ask why they doing that? And if they do, they will be treated as intruders and it may cost their lives. Its obvious consequences, shouldnt be to much drama about this.

  3. Leviticus 19:33,34 – “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.”

  4. Moroccan police and armed forces deliberately didn't extradite them back to their home country because as long as they tried to go to Mellila or Ceuta, Morocco still get an aid from Europe to "strength their border defense"

  5. electrify the borders with wind turbines, no cost for eletricity, and problem solved, keep unskilled people out of Europe, or Europe will ceast to exist.

  6. The World crucifies Israel for building an anti-Terror Wall that looks like a picket fence compared to this monstrosity—and about this Demon the World is quiet.
    Left wing bleeding hearts would have a field day if Israel built something like this.

  7. Why does the European Union provides Moroco with billions of euros for security and development? Its not our job to help all these countries

  8. in my opinion, Africa is a resourceful continent. The developed countries are eyeing on Africa. china too. By the way, it feels bad to see the unrest chaos and violence prevailing over there.
