35 migrants arrived at Las Salinas this morning ((18 men, 3 women and 14 minors) - https://www.diariodefuerteventura.com/no...WvhjNt-V8w

I wondered what the helicopter activity was early this morning.

What do the authorities do with these immigrants once detained?

If they are allowed to stay on the island, I assume they will not have to go through the rigmarole of becoming `'residents" i.e no private health care or a quantity of Money in the bank such as the  procedures for people who want to live on the island from the UK or other countries. Anyone want to join me in a small boat?  LOL!

You are becoming very cynical Emmi, and while I was born that way or so my parents always told me  I thought better of you

LOL! I  certainly can be cynical but generally I reserve it for special circumstances!

Without meaning to be flippant that is relatively easy to say when you HAVE a better life. I see why they do it, they all want what we have. While I have a great deal of sympathy for genuine refugees from war/abuse/genocide I am totally against letting in the ones that use this situation to travel as economic migrants!!!

[Spitfire58]

Economic migrants (in most cases) go back where they came from.

Sorry Sam, no they don’t. Just look at the U.K. or Italy, Germany etc !!

No expert by any stretch of the imagination & I don’t like the sarcasm but I do keep my eyes open & make my own judgements. Granted, there are times when it may be hard to decide but we have all seen boatloads of young, fit & healthy single males waiting to be picked up in the Med. I for one don’t think for one second that they are running in terror, they are using the opportunity of the refugee movement/crisis for entry to Europe by the backdoor (that they would otherwise not have easy entry to) for an advancement of their position. 
Also, to say that “immigration workers are checking every single one” doesn’t ring true either. I have seen the reports of the number of “children” (who are pretty much automatically accepted) when they are in fact well past the age of majority but destroy all of their records & claim to be minors. Case in point being the 27 year old that was “assessed & judged to be a minor” & sent to an English secondary school !!!
I have no problem with genuine refugees who need care & protection, as I previously said but there are loads that this does not apply to & they should just not get in. IMO
