The Panel The majority of Spaniards consider that there are "too many immigrants": sympathy for Latinos and only 3.4% with North Africans
Despite Pedro Sánchez's concessions
handing over
the Sahara, Morocco has not done its part to contain immigration and the flow of migrants does not stop growing. According to the latest report from the
Ministry of the Interior
,
Spain
has become a country that finds it difficult to stop irregular immigration by sea and land.
In fact, the arrival of migrants to the
Peninsula
by sea has skyrocketed by 308% in these first three months of 2024 compared to the same period of the previous year. 14,405 have been counted compared to 3,528 in 2023, which did so aboard 322 canoes compared to 177 the previous year.
The number of people who reached the Peninsula and
the Balearic Islands
increased by 54% in 2024 (705 more undocumented people) in just one year, going from 1,306 last year to 2,011 in 2024. They did so in 131 boats. In general terms, the number of migrants who arrived in Spain by sea or land grew by 308.5%, going from 3,708 to 15,141.
In these first three months of the year, the greatest increase compared to 2023 is in boat arrivals to the
Canary Islands
, where 12,393 people have arrived in 190 boats, which represents more than 10,215 more migrants and an increase of 469% . These data show that the migration problem in the archipelago does not stop growing despite the alarms that have been raised to the Government and the impossibility of it being addressed with the resources that are proposed.
