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.

Thank you so much for this amazing series!

I want season 2 already!
Vox I thought you would explore india -Pakistan border too
I’m confused why people seem to think it’s wrong to have borders that are protected
Kane Fritsch liberals and their bleeding hearts
I mean even if I lived next to a country full of Mennonite pacifists I would want someone in the job checking passports and asking a couple questions.
Nobody thinks that. We do think we should take responsibility for the welfare of other peoples than our own, should protect them if they need protection from their own countries. So yes, borders should be guarded, but those fleeing prosecution, disease, or severe economic hardship deserve our help. It's not their fault they were born where they were born.
Toon Holman there is people that protest for no borders at all I’m not saying you do or everyone does but there is a pretty large number of Americans that do I to think we should help people but we have a lot of our own that need help first and if they come they should have to do it legally and go threw the screenings and legal borders crossings
Toon Holman it’s not our fault either why should they use our benefits for their problems

Thank you for this video! I'm Moroccan and I do believe that this subject doesn't get the attention it deserves. Today numerous migrants abandoned the idea of crossing the borders to Europe and decided to settle down in Morocco as the country is experiencing a steady growth. In 2013, Morocco has launched a new migration policy to facilitate the naturalization of migrants and help them settle down in the country. However, since 2013, 2 of the 3 main reforms haven't been adopted yet and are still considered as Law projects ...furthermore my country still didn't agree on a readmission agreement with the EU commission, because Moroccan politicians don't want to be legally bound to readmit migrants from other countries. Lastly, this migration crisis is used by Moroccan authorities as a trump card to press on the Spanish authorities and the EU for settling down the Sahara conflict with Algeria and get more funds from the EU.

Christophe Africa is rising 💪🏿
I like the positivity of this guy lol
There was development in Africa but when they got their independence they reverted.
After a little Google search:
“Several studies have shown that most African migrations are not directed towards Europe, but towards other African countries (Schoumaker et al., 2015; Sander & Maimbo, 2003) and that those moving out of Africa do not only move to Europe but also to the Gulf countries and the Americas (Bakewell & De Haas, 2007).”
“Contradicting common idea that African emigration is essentially about irregular movement, previous research has suggested that most Africans migrate out of the continent in possession of valid passports, visas and other travel documentation (cf. Schoorl et al. 2000, Heering, Esveldt, Groenewold, van der Erf, Bosch, de Valk, and de Bruijn, 2000). More generally, recent scholarship has started to question the implicit assumption that African migration is ‘exceptional’ and essentially different from migration elsewhere. More and more micro-evidence emerges indicating that most Africans migrate for family, work or study (Schoumaker et al., 2015) (Bakewell & Jόnsson, 2011), as is the case in other world regions.”
I always do a little Google search for my own sanity after watching western news/documentaries these days.
The Gulf is full of Southern Asians (Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis), Africans tend to move to Europe (especially if relatives have already moved) or to the Americas, especially to the US and Canada if they speak English
micro-evidence?
That doesn't sound very compelling my friend
I think we've shed light to every corner regarding illegal immigration, but not enough light to the reason what drove them to force themselves into the continent in the first place.
I agree with you 100% because the thing behind the thing is the real thing. For the umpteenth time, let the Europeans stop stealing Africa's resources or sending weapons of mass destruction that cause wars in Africa or at the very least let the West stop meddling in the affairs of African countries. The day that the West stops all that is the day the Africans will stop climbing over those fences.
Exactly
Exploitation of the welfare
They want everything given to them for free, that's why they choose Europe
Milking western european countries for welfare and free healthcare while not working at all. 40% of immigrants in France do not work but have welfare.
i see nothing wrong with Spain, the wrong thing is the corrupted governments in those African countries. Something must be done to improve African countries.

Anonymous Vlogger no it's not. Question who gets to make the borders in the first place. Vox is not.
I think that what a lot of people fail to realize it’s that both cities do not feel Moroccan nor do they want to leave Morocco. In the 18th century, Gibraltar was conquered by the British and since then it’s been British. They do not feel Spanish, they don’t wanna be Spanish. Ceuta was conquered by the Portuguese back in 1415 and had been a very turbulent area since forever. One of the things about being strategically important is that you’ll change hands a lot through history. Essentially it had been a “Moroccan” (as in controlled by what is today Modern-day Morocco) city for (non-consecutively) 200 years, but if we take the amount of time it was hold by the Visigoths of Spain and the different Spanish Taifas, it gets to roughly the same amount. Finally, if we take the actual time it’s been under Spain herself, it’s around 382 years, plus the time it was under Portugal’s and Iberian’s (former+latter) influence.
Melilla was actually (as a city) under Moroccan influence by quite more time, little over 300 years. Since then, by Spain herself for 500+ years. It doesn’t matter whhere they are, but rather what their inhabitants feel like.
Well spain and portugal were under morocco for more than 700 years and we are not claiming the whole land

Currently Spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe, as well as a deficit problem in its budget. It is literally impossible to grant inmigrants good living conditions. Most of them end up involved in ilegal activities such as drug trafficking. As we can see in the video, the ones who try to jump the fence belong to the young part of the population; by fleeing their homeland in search of a better life they end up compromising their own country's future.
I would also remark that most of these immigrants use Spain as a way to go to France or England.
Here we can't deal with Spanish people without a job, so imagine how it would be with immigrants. First of all, we have to solve all our problems(mass corruption, debt,unemployment, etc etc)then, just then, and maybe, we could help those poor people. But it would be a better solution to solve the problems they have in their contries.

Cool video bro
What I don't understand - and this sounds heartless but I mean it in good faith - is why they can't just stay in Morocco? Since they're not in danger of being deported and there's no war over there, why do they need to get to Spain?And yeah sure, for a better life I understand that, but in that case why does it matter if they're coming from a war torn country or a peaceful but dirt poor country?It just doesn't make sense to me.
I think this is a good argument to make. I have often wondered that as well. I don't want to diminish the plight of these people - but is there something stopping them from working in Morocco?
Also globally - I think we need to end the sham of "Work permission" -- why should anybody decide if a person is allowed to work - if they are qualified for a job - they should just get it!
Morocco simply can't deal with the massive influx of immigrants, either. What happens right now is that they receive large aid packages from Europe of all sorts - money to build and maintain the fences, to train police, to adopt new technologies, to feed the Sub-Saharan immigrants, etc. This means that Morocco can employ more of their people and keep the Sub-Saharans moderately fed, but only as long as the EU sees a value in doing so.
Basically, if Morocco gives these people any sort of legal recognition, the country would implode - there'd suddenly be thousands of homeless, unemployed Sub-Saharans that instead of being in a limbo, would become Morocco's problem. And then, the EU could easily wash their hands and leave them stranded with this massive problem. Europe doesn't want them, and Morocco only wants them as long as they're undocumented and trying to cross over.
I live in morocco,and the thing is,a lot of them chose to stay here,those who really just want peace and to look for a job to provide for their famillies do stay,those you see in the video are just chasing the eu dream,what Briss said is also true ,there are some benefits that they can get in Europe that they cant get here..
Maybe the youth unemployment rate of 20% might be a hint why Moroccans want to leave their country...or the extremely tense situation of the West Saharan conflict. All just thoughts.
It's a lower youth unemployment rate than Spain, though.

They are not Moroccans, they are subsaharans, they cross north african countries to get to Europe. let me guess. you are american? LoL. thats why your comment show how ignorant about the world you are.
Tomy Ray Spain is a shithole, just take a look at your countries economy and stability that will only worsen as time goes on with your feminist socialist government, not to mention how much worse it will get with the upcoming civil war(s)
Africa is much worse than Spain obviously, but why compare a somewhat first world country to third world? Most of the immigrants from Africa go to Spain not to stay in Spain but to get to other places in Europe such as France Denmark Sweden ETC
Tomy Ray just thanks to the EU. Before joining the EU Spain was a shithole. Spain is more like Greece (actually Greece was better before joining the EU) or any other eastern european country in the EU. Not all countries benefited from the EU, such as Italy and it all because of those poor countries like Spain, who joined.
Tomy Ray I said before joining the EU. I live in Italy. Like 20 years ago there were no unemployment issues, now the situation is very bad. If you lose your job it might take you a year or more to find a new one and as I always knew Italy is far more richer than Spain. So if Italy is ruined, I am trying to imagine how is the situation in Spain. And I said Spanish was a shithole before joining the EU not now. Some countries benefit from joining the EU, others get worse, the case of Italy! Also a lot of spaniards (polish and italians as well) migrated to the UK and that’s one of the reasons brexit is happening. If it is a rich country to live in, nobody would have left for UK. There are some spaniards migrants in Morocco too and no they’re not bringing jobs, they are actually taking jobs from locals. Those who bring jobs are mostly italians and french.
If France stops exploiting the valuable resources of Subsaharan countries, than this crisis will end.
If France don't exploitet then the african leaders Will stealed
I'm proud that our friend down there in Spain keep the border save!

Well if European ancestors didn't steal everything from Africa, Maybe the situation would have been very different.
Anass Talai it wasn’t just Europeans. In fact it was mostly Arabs, they ran the trade routes and the slave trade.
many would argue that it would be a worse place than it is today... south africa is not safe, zimbabwe is becoming poor.
Yeah classic west, let's blame Arabs. You mean Arabs begged the west to sell them slaves ? wasn't it Europeans who paid for it and asked for it. It's exactly the same situation as Spain Morocco borders. Europe pays Morocco to do its dirty work for them. (Almost like let's build a wall and make Mexico pay for it).
Even if Europeans slaved Africans, it's not a reason why Africa is poor. Europe faced in its history extremely high dangerous from antique to modern. Persians, Huns, Mongols, Black death, inner wars like 30 years war, I and II world war... Cold war... Not only Africans faced their troubles, Europeans had faced perhaps much more terrible events than Africans slavery and exploitation. The difference is in the mentality between Africans and Europeans. Europe always tries to rebuild itself, and strive for the future, when Africans are sitting on their asses. Compare Europe to Africa before slavery. You will see that Europeans aren't the reason of poverty in Africa.

Mass immigration is just a short term solution for the immigrants, with terrible consequences for Europe. Without development in Africa, this will keep on going forever. Neo colonialism and corruption is the problem, and as soon as those two things are gone, protected borders won't be as necessary.
MASS IMMI?...From 1700 to 1980 colonization......Mass immigration of white EU citizens to live n Africa..eg. Rodeshia...Whites depleted all natural minerals from west Africa. laving it dry...The hungry Africans are now coming to Europe in search of the mineral stock pile that the white were holding in safe-keeping for them...Karma.
ANDY LUMEH© Ministries, Evangelist. My Father's Kingdom, Chelsea Black Church, London Human existence is just a tug of war between different civilizations and tribes for territory, resources, and security that will ensure their survival. In this struggle, there is war and occupation against those civilizations and tribes. Because of this reality, everything that happens is fair. It’s fair that the Subsaharan Africans are trying to go to the same Europe that colonized them, and it’s also fair that the Europeans who colonized them want to keep them out.

I used to live there. Melilla has been linked to whatever power dominated the iberian peninsula (Phoenicians, csrthaginians, romans, visigoths, arabs, spain) for thousands of years. It’s not like spain “conquered” it in the XVI century.

"They do europe's dirty work." You mean they keep people from illegally crossing their border? Like EVERY nation is supposed to do?
You know that Spain keeps europeans from illegally crossing into Morocco right?
EVERY NATION is supposed to do this! It is not "somebody else's dirty work".
Vox is owned by a liberal Jew so although this report is balanced it should be reminded that Israel built a a border wall to keep Palestinians and black Africans out, but liberals tend to hold Europe and United States to a different standard. During the last border crisis in Palestine 2 years ago, Jewish border guards sprayed Palestinians who came to force the border shouting "Death to Israel" from machine guns killing over a thousand. I like that liberal woman speaking out about Morocco doing the "dirty work" for Spain rather than "heavy lifting" like she just learned this word yesterday and is too eager to weaponize it and use it thinking she is cool and hoping for a promotion.
@Daniyal Beg More like 300 million just from Nigeria and another 1 billion from the rest of Africa. This type of ignorant treatment of statistics is how the left chooses to dismiss serious problems.
Except the Moroccans don't stop them from crossing their borders when they first come in from the south.
Don't be naive, the Moroccans want these Sub-Saharans to remain in Morocco and keep trying, so that the European aid money keeps coming in.

It's wild that we question Spain's right to a 600 year-old territory, but levying that same criticism upon an 80-year-old country that's partaking in active genocide is taboo
Because it's not a 80 year old country. It's a 4,000 year old country.
@Shanti Andía
I know . I just responded to the other posters claim.
@Shanti Andía *Technically* he isn't wrong.The State of Israel exists since 1948, so since 76 years, but the Israelites have lived there since ancient times. There were also the Kingdoms of Israel and Judea during the Iron Age . The Israelites were displaced many times during their history - by the Assyrians, the Romans, the Rashiduns and the Ottomans. In my opinion, they merely return to the home they were displaced from.
Israel all the way imo 🙂
Could they return home without the support of imperial powers doing to others and aiding the Israelis to do themselves what has been done to them for centuries?

when you try to make a propaganda video for open boarders, but it has the exact opposite effect
EMS 76 yup. and this is definitely propaganda.
1. Open borders only apply to European nations. And those open borders only apply to the countries who are in the Euro Zone.
2. I'm not sure this video had any part where it enforsed open borders between 2 foreign nations which do not have prior treaties talking about them.
Let's face it. Vox is meant to be a reference to "Vox Populi"; the voice of the people. I didn't know that "sympathetic" far left snowflake libtards are the only ones that count as people. Just stay away from the far left agenda all together
EMS 76 you're just filling the comment section with your fanboyism
「 OKAY 」 Um that’s a negatory. The entire thrust of the narrative was from the perspective of the poor, humble, peace loving migrant who is ‘fleeing war’ and ‘seeking freedom’ and how evil the mean Spanish are for protecting their illegitimate slice of Africa and using the mean Moroccan police who beat the invaders for breaking the law.
The problem is that these people aren't refugees, they are economical immigrants.
Just like Americans?
Anil Palan no economical migrants don’t assimilate
Anil Palan What? no... tf
Europeans came to America for Imperial reasons. To expand their land and wealth that's why the natives in the Americas were massacred. It was pure imperialism.
Melly Arvelo natives were a conquered people. No technology, no infrastructure, they lost.

How about you white people leaves us african people alone. Leave our golds and resources. Let us be rich without you and your friends hands in our contries.
If we don't get creative in helping people now. What will we do when a bigger disaster happens. Will you turn your back on millions of people dying?
@morpheu We are all human. We evolved from families, to tribes, to cities, to states, countries. We need to make the next evolutionary leap and evolve to unite as mankind. Sooner or later it's going to happen. The question is : do you want to take the red pill, go on an adventure of uniting people or will you take the blue pill and stay asleep and continue living in this ugly dying world like nothing never happened?
@morpheu assumptions are the mother of all fuckups. You don't need to give up any of those things you described(forget about those things, let go of those negative attached feelings and open your mind, try to see possiblies, don't let your natural pessimistic bias get the best of you) . We only need to unite around a few common sense ideas like enforcing human right, saving our planets sensitive eco system, choosing peace over power (power struggles are pointless anyways if you enforce the declaration of human rights everywhere), honor diplomatic achievements, combat corruption and make all those points a priority. PS also try to fight the cognitive dissonance, my ideas sound quite radical I know, it's because they are unprecedented like abolishing slavery once was.
I don't think this issue is all black and white. You can't blame Spain for fortifying their borders with all the recent violence within Europe. Spanish government has its duty to protect its citizens and regulate illegal immigrants.
Spain is failing at even keeping its own country together. They have a massive crisis of corruption, unemployment (especially youth unemployment), a rigged educational system and many people who want their regions to be autonomous.
I'm not saying they should let in all immigrants, but I disagree with the statement that the Spanish government is just protecting Spanish citizens, because it fails SO HARD at treating them right.
i'am a moroccan and the violence made by the white are at least 10 time more than the affrican so don't say that when they get there they will kill and steal and .... , if you'r country is in war and its getting worst every day
why can't you live in a better place ?
I'm not saying that all the immigrants who enter other nations are involved with crime. I'm saying that Spain has a right and sovereignty to fortify its borders and regulate illegal immigrants. Still, I agree that use of violence currently taking place at the borders is unacceptable.
Hard Work now wait, let's think for a second. You said that Spain is failing right. Now WHAT if THOSE IMMIGRANTS enter spain ILLEGALLY with no permission. Doesn't just add more work to the already failing Spain ?
Man, this is one tangled up mess for everyone....

so if they touch EU soil while crossing illegally they`re entitled to apply for asylums? who made this laws? lol
Yes... that is the European Union law but this does not determine if they are free. They are held in camps in Europe or elsewhere until they are approved. People are in camps from years, some are lucky and less. It depends on the countries intake.
the laws were written by globalists who believe in 'no borders' and no national soveriegnty
The laws were written by people who had to seek refuge whenthey were targeted because they were jews or who fled the wars in europe. Because of this they put laws in place that made sure others would find refuge aswell when they were in a similar position...
Decent people wrote them.
Do you know what asylum means?

I've lived in morocco my entire life and only now learned about a moroccan mafia! can you enlighten me on the details please?
I am Spanish and the borders in Melilla and Ceuta have always been a problem. The current situation is wrong because so many africans are suffering, but you cant simply open the borders of Europe to everyone who wants to enter. It is a very complex situation because it not only depends on Spain's interests but also on all the other nations of the EU. The only solution i can think of is to discourage people from illegally crossing the border and promote more legal asylum policies. But without the collaboration of the EU that is impossible.
the only good reply
SPain has to decolonize Sebta and Mellilia and they havec to recognize Moroccan Sahara. End of probleM.
Why you have borders in Morocco
@@freewal first, Ceuta and Melilla are not colonies, they are autonomous cities with representation in the Spanish Congress and second, Morocco has no justified rights over the Sahara area, they invaded it and annexed it without doing a referendum in there. Get your facts straight please.
