In the Canary Islands and EU one of the illegal immigration problems is from Africans illegally immigrating to the west. Many die trying.
In response, Gambia took steps rather different from those Mexico is taking. "Reacting to the growing spate of young African emigrants attempting to reach the European citadel, through the Canary Islands, the Gambia Immigration Department, yesterday issued a press release, condemning the act as illegal.
According to the three-paragraph press release, the act is "dangerous" and has claimed the lives of numerous young Africans, who had attempted it.
As a result, the Immigration Department then warned the public that the security forces have been alerted, saying any person caught will be dealt with according to the law."
Why doesn't Mexico - and for that matter, why don't ALL countries - take this approach?
