- Located off Morocco, Spain's Canary Islands are facing their worst migrant crisis since 2006. In just one year, 30,000 migrants have arrived on the archipelago. The smallest island, El Hierro, saw 4,000 arrive in January alone. Despite locals and NGOs coming together to help out, El Hierro is overwhelmed. FRANCE 24’s Clara Le Nagard and Armelle Exposito report, with Sarah Morris.

Europe slowly digging its own grave.
And America and Canada too. Our governments don't represent the will of the people.
What's wrong with sending them back?
Europe will stop digging it's own grave when it stops digging up African resources.
And 90% are of Islamic faith
@@Tintoycarthose in authority in the west have no backbone all these migrants in whatever country should be sent back to where they come from.everywhere they go the area ends up as a tip some go to the toilet in the street
Why call the lifeboat rescue service? Call the navy to escort them back. This has gone too far.
They sure do as you suggest outside the W West. And more, which I can't write here. No one else allows this.
The RNLI are effectively complicit in people smuggling by bringing illegal migrants ashore. At least no one is kidding us by calling asylum seekers. We all know they are definitly NOT...
Thats what we do in Oceania. Navy or border patrol take them process them into asylums ready for departure. Unless real asylum seekers.
Exactly.
To true !
Sometimes the best solution is to improve your own country.
We tried to help them, but we're called colonizers and ran off out of their country... and then they wanna show up in Europe and the USA. This is gonna be bad...
@@mmhthreethere have been coup d'etats in 80% of African states in the last 20 years. The place is corrupt and dangerous and needs wholesale change. Of course many people have given up and they see the western nations on social media and they want a better easier wealthier life. Can you blame them? It's bad for Europe and the west but can you really blame them. The west should work out how to improve Africa to stop them all coming here.
“Sometimes” is too lame. That is the ony way country will prosper
It is not only Haitians and Central Americans, but also Cubans and Venezuelans who have a political, social and economic crisis that is happening there in those countries. But do not emigrate to Chile or the United States, Brazil, Canada, Peru and Mexico, those countries have many problems migrating to countries like Uruguay, Paraguay, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, Suriname, Costa Rica and Panama. Now there is a program so that migrants, when you show up at the border between the United States and Mexico, can apply or they can take you to go to Spain and Canada between those governments.
💯I believe that instead of bringing them into our countries we should help them in their own .
all those poor ADULT children
😆
This is devastating for the local population who depend on the tourism industry. Who wants to go on holidays to a place that's overrun by asylum seekers?
Believe it or not, the canarians "don't want tourist no more".
@@mayraotero9903
Enjoy your new citizens.
@@mayraotero9903That has been twisted, I saw them being interviewed while protesting. They do want tourists, they are dependent on them. They don’t want foreigners buying up all the homes and leaving them without roofs over their heads. As usual the media has twisted it.
I struggled with these bastards 20 years ago in Tenerife, tried to mug me and constantly harassed by prostitutes.

No brainer ,if they sent them back they would stop coming.
No, they would still come..
@@zenaku4 They are criminals ,don't stop sending them back .
@@zenaku4not at this unmanageable rate though
Stop rewarding them. Fix up & return!
Stop the financial aid and send them home. Not asylum seekers economic betterment seekers
Yup another solution, like work hard and fix your own country instead coming for freebies.
the children were forced to come to here, they did not even want to go ! why were they forced to leave !
@@brianjones4026 Ask their parents, Brian.
Europe has few natural resources compared to Africa. Human resources always come with natural resources. Norway is probably the only European country that produces enough oil for itself.
I don't think you would risk your life for a promise of freebies....and their countries must be really bad. Yet the United nations does nothing to stop this
Seems the real problems are of course wars and money... stop wars give all humans enough money to live properly simple really
what a mess.. europe is finished
Finally. EU achieve something they fought for. Well done EU.
I see a lot of future doctors and engineers, but not a single woman or child. Just military age men.
Statistically speaking there just dumping their criminals on other countries
ya military age men, I find that suspicious.
@@cybernit3 I always say this. why only young men are coming ? very suspicious .I think I know what their agenda is.
This is the point. Europe is a broken continent.@@cybernit3
@@RAMNIKK Because polygamous societies produce surplus young men.
Fighting age men with no women and zero ability
The madness continues,if this doesn't stop soon,a peaceful, relatively harmonious Europe will be a thing of the past
I'm glad you stated "relatively".
Not just Europe my dear Octopus man….the world is overrun.
That little island may get a few migrants that are from a different tribe. That may cause conflict. And when that happens all hell breaks loose. We already know by looking at mainland Spain, Italy France actually all of mainland Europe along with Ireland and the UK. And you can see how tribal trouble travels.
It already is a thing of the past. We just had the anniversary of Lee Rigby being slaughtered on the street, and the Manchester Areana bombing. Everyday we have stabbings, and the things they do to the children here. Our government covers it up.
White Europeans are a worldwide minority, and they're over breeding to a point where it is unsustainable.. Africa, the Middle East, India, China, South America. Since we helped them with food, water and medicine in their own countries; they are thinking we'd be glad to give them our homeland, as well. Total disaster within 20-30 years. This is just the beginning....
Don't give them any status or free money.
Always young men!
Wake up Canaries, you are about to be swamped!!
Canaries is geographically closer to Morocco than to Spain.. Africa wants their island back!
Imagine committing a crime by entering illegally and within minutes getting pushed around in a wheelchair within minutes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Very well mature children all fighting men
Exactly. Even with the blurred faces none of them look remotely like children.
same all over europe !
Yall dont have to accept them.....sent them back.
Sadly, we do have to accept them. The UN Compact on Migration insists that we do. The people weren’t asked.
@@andrewnelson3681 resign... Thailand is not party to any asylum agreements.. funny how Thailand does not have this problem
Depressing.
How is this even allowed it’s insane
It's the WOKE liberals. Europeans have been voting them into power the last 50 years. Right now, they are getting ready to vote for the labor party in the UK.
And the boats keep coming. 🙄 Stop this madness finally!!!!
You never see any of the media outlets following the money and finding out who's buying the boats, who's selling them, who's making them. Not many companies make RIBs. People are getting rich off this, and I would wager that a financial investigation would reveal the obvious - it's not just the "people smugglers" charging the fares to get on the boats.
Why would you send your children by themselves on such a dangerous journey and please do not bore me with that they are desperate. They are alive and the grass is not always greener on the other side!!
They will give us huge huge problems in the future. There are NO work for them, absolutely NO work. And there are NO houses for them and last but not least there are NO girlfriends for them. Our politicians are a disaster.
Canary Islands are of the coast of Morocco/Mauritania fun fact
Exactly! This is the difference between cultures that is not compatible with western values. Where are these children’s mothers and fathers. It is shocking how many young men are on these boats. These men should be building their country not seeking free rides elsewhere.
They aren’t children. Most as adults who pretend to be minors
They send their children cause they know EU has family unification program that allows children to be united with their families from their home countries to join them in a much faster phase.
Dont help , dont allow them to dock , turn around a return !
If this isnt Done you Will regret it
@@johnnyairplane2896 So, is this a form of war?
Where are the women and children.?
It's always the same, men leave women and children back alone ...
@@eddastrohmayer251men ruin the country and then run away and then we accept them.
Are you blind? This showed an overcrowded children's centre with 300 migrant children.
The women and the children will come after you legalize them. @@eddastrohmayer251
@@samuelmelton8353well at 4.50 mins in it showed what looked like a bunch of adult males but for some reason added in audio of women and children.
all men, all military age.
Did you actually watch it?
You clearly didn’t watch the video
Here in Ireland we have the same problems tents on our streets. It is destroying our country we have no room for them.
Who's them west africans you mean?shurrup...It's illegal u.k n e.u immigrants that's running to Ireland. Refusing to be deported to Rwanda thanks to the open borders deal y'all wanted during brexit
We south african citizens been coming n going to Ireland n NEVER overstayed. That's why it's still visa free. I'm in the U.K and i know for a fact it's all religions and races flooding Ireland from E.U i wonder why
All part of the plan
Blacks
Maybe you can move to Africa? Call it a swap? Is that not what politicians want?
Saying they are children is like saying transwomen are women. The only actual kids belong to one of the people smugglers.
Watched a separate documentary about senegalese migrants recently- telling them about the troubles at sea is not a deterrent as they still believe the grass is greener. Also, destroying the boats is pointless as passage via boats especially fishing boats is abundant there. Creating an environment that promises immediate return/removal would be more effective.
They are desperate.nowadays everyone knows the risks
@@ivanbarbosa81 it wasn't that, they believed they can earn the same amount of money that usually takes them e.g. a month in a week- which is why they ignored warnings from others.
And don't take into account rent, food✓✓,bills etc as they believe they're exempt and entitled to all those pesky things to be given to them for free. Being told no often elicits a violent response. I've experienced it myself several times when I was a housing officer, telling people they're not eligible for council housing. 😠🇬🇧
We can't and shouldn't take all of the people from the third world countries in. It's just not sustainable or possible. They should make their own successful societies just like our ancestors did for us. I never agree that we are born privileged, we are the results of our ancestors being responsible.
My country never had any colonies anywhere, we never had slaves, I don't owe anything to Africa
@@donnabeuth3193 true, my mom works with Eastern Europeans who have rents paid for, benefits and refuse to work more than 20 hours/week so they don't lose access to it. At the same time, they easily spend their money on material goods and have had more holidays in one year than we have in our lives. You can't really win if you try to be a normal, law abiding, contributing member of society in the UK.
This is called invaded Europe
Then why are we so stupid..!
Some people are so empathetic that they forget priority and don’t see danger. Our son is one of them.
I was the same, but learn that no everyone deserve empathy or help
@@sunrise1975italia I bet you and your son have a JOB, well payed Job about all that situation. Milk the System. I bet you don't bring them to your home
It's the installed politicians who are paid to destroy their countries.
If this madness doesn't stop europe will be the same country they left behind!
If the children want to return to their mothers in Senegal, why not take the children back? It is cruel to keep the children away from their mothers.
economic immigration.hunting for free housing and.do nothing -get money
Making the world even more unstable!!
I thought this is what Spain wanted, no British paying tourists, but immigrants instead.
How is Brexit going for you, Sally?
@@thisismetodayvery well,just like Norway and Switzerland outside the EU,you are clearly heartbroken by us leaving as after 8 years you are still mentioning it,like a messy divorce you’re still upset about,if it would be bad for us why did the EU make it so hard for us to leave?,why didn’t they say “off you go we’ll be fine”?,why did Guy Verhofstaft say they will punish the UK?,that’s what you say to a wealthy partner who walks out leaving the poorer person
One by one deported , simple
YES ; Spaniard here.
This video has stopped me wasting money on booking a holiday to the Canaries.😢
And I can't get a hospital bed
The scary thing is these migrants want them homes
Ngo's buying them boats
Well take them back dont accept them.
So how does a small island pay for all this extra expenditure on health, services, etc. what happens to them?
Pass the hat around among taxpayers
Say goodbye to their tourist industry, ridiculous this is being allowed
16 and 17 year olds are not children,
??
@@carlyle8969
When I 2as younger people could leave school at fifteen with their parents permission,but most left school at 16,and were working ,you were not considered a child.yhis is bs.ill vet you none of these kids are considered children in the countries their from.
@@michaelholt7994 ok grandpa. It isn’t the 1940s anymore
Unless they're Whyte right???
@@iveyhealth2266 before this government fiddled the u employment figures by keeping kids in school until they were 18,most kids left and started work at 16..if it was reversed we wouldn't need a single immigrant,but their taking jobs very few of them before these kids get a chance,yes your right.
And who pays all of this to you Spanish-EU taxpayers🤑🤦♀................................🙈🙉🙊
This is no motive to be laughing, this is a human tragedy. Why are people risking their lives?
@@ivanbarbosa81 so where do they get the money to pay traffickers? - sh1ttalker - just a bunch of scabs noone escaping war or otherwise BS - that money could be used to migrate legally nothing but fake stories perpetuated by liberals who are happy starting things by enforcing what they want over all else
Los pagan los tontos contribuyentes españoles. And maybe you too.
@@ivanbarbosa81It’s an army ready to receive orders
Hamas-people are coming to schelter themselves in Spain🤔
ya think???
Europe can stop this by pulling its corporations out of Africa.
That's what the socialist president of Spain wants.
Lol you’re out of pocket
Well, these guys are not Hamas though.
If authorities keep on providing such amenities, then the numbers will keep on rising. The migrants have decided to make this trip, mostly on ‘hope and a prayer.’
Ask yourself, if you can answer honestly.
If the Africans in Africa were replaced with Chinese or Japanese or Korean or Europeans etc, how many years until Africa became a technologically and economically advanced continent?
10 or 20
Lol, that's not a fair comparison dude,.a lot of African countries are still colonized until recently, some even still under west influence like France. So, they don't have the same time like others really developed, because they were exploited..China, Korea, Japan, are already advanced civilizations way before the world war era,.so again, this is not a fair comparison..
Spain say S.O.S in all terms ( culture; etnicity ; identity)
Africa would be evolved and advanced in no time with Asian or Europeans in control of Africa and it's resources.
What a bizarre irrelevant idea. 😅 embarrassed for you
The EU should do much more to discourage those people on the spot, in Africa.The apparently all believe that a paradise is awaiting for them.
actually where they come from and where are they living for free sheltered and food is more than paradise
If you give them all ,free milions Will come ,if you deport them they dont come
@@braveheart7676 I think they have more expectations (work, salary, house etc). The EU should distribute materials explaining the realities, that will definitely discourage people. These are not the poorest, they pay for the smuggling.
the EU IS FUNDING AND FACILITATING the invasion..and in the usa it's united nations..15million people have invaded America..our people are being raped robbed murdered and they receive taxpayer funded housing education healthcare $..etc
Future protesters and mob violence creators. Be scared n be prepared for the mess. All the best
Hard truth is, out of empathy you help these people. Word spread back home and more will arrive. Because the half hour bus ride in Europe is more pleasant than life in Africa.
Correct 💯 the Western protection laws are killing them ...
That's a lot of cultural enrichment for Spain.
You are a Big Joke? .
@@Benito-lr8mznaw Spain is.
white women a like insmintaion by migrants arabic , africa.
Interesting how NGOs are always around ready to insure the illegal immigration continues and grows.
I would not call an 18 year old a child. This was an interesting documentary, well made. I had no idea the Canary Islands were going through all this.
Senegal is not a country people have to flee... most of the time people already in Europe tell those at home lies how well everything's for them here. E.g. barkeeper of hotel tells he is hotel manager etc.
I don't think anyone would fall for that. They are desperate and young, fearless and reckless at the same time
@@ivanbarbosa81 I know such cases personally - Maybe in other countries people are desperate, but definetly not in Senegal. (I know also such examples from Egypt).
Most Senegalese in Spain are selling bags, sunglasses and laughing gas to tourists.
they spend a lot of money and give it to broker to reach Europe or USA. without spending 30/40k USD you can not come...so they are not poor they act like poor to get sympathy from biased left lobbies
Why can't the two young boys from Senegal go back to their mother? She wants them back, they want to go back but they have to live with a local Spanish family.
What is the united nation doing .Their staff earn hundreds of dollars a month and yet they do nothing to put an end to mass migration. Start investing in those countries or giving money to member states to cope with this. HONOR your salaries
Who do you think is funding this mass migration?
💯
They're the ones driving and encouraging this. They aren't designed to help.
There is a white paper from the UN entitled replacement migration. Anyone can Google it
The beautiful Canary Islands could well disappear you help 5000 they contact their homelands with the welcome mat laid out for them another 5000 will come the Islands will be overrun and too dangerous for tourists these people need help at source
Those two host parents hmmm. Having them stay in their house, kissing them, kids dad a people smuggler in prison, dodgy dodgy people those NGOs
Immigrants in Spain are immediately attended by doctors and in hospitals. Spanish have to wait up to 10 months for an appointment with their doctor. Another so many months to see a specialist, another so many months for a scan, and easily 2 years for an operation. But not so for immigrants.
98% men....where's their woman and children....??!!
at home, making more waves of migrants
All heading to the uk
We cannot take no more this isn't a rich country we don't have the resources for are own citizens you can fit uk in Africa and lose it we are a small island back in the day yes we done invasion not invaded Europe is being invaded invasion and invaded are 2 different things
Stop the boats....
Get them out of the paradise islands!!!
"look for another solution"
Oh my words what's wrong with the world
This is a hopless case. I feel for these ppl, but it is not the solution, that they all come in. The situation in their countries have to be improved. Hundrets of years ago, europe was in a similar situation. Many poor people, bad hygiene, violence, corruption, and we had to somehow find a way. That is what europe has become. But not everyone can come here or America..
Birthcontrol birthcontrol birthcontrol pffffffffffffffft pffffffffffffffft
Don't push them to the Eastern Europe we dont want them we have yor our problems with refugees from Ukraine and Bielarus my country Poland in the first month of the war took about 9 millions of people and we have 2 millions rights known one helped as at the beginning !
At least they are willing to learn the language. And may even help.. unfortunately that may not last long when another tribe arrives and they bring their troubles with them. Just take a look around the likes of mainland spain, Europe and the UK and Ireland. And you can see how migrants have messed the place. Senegal isnt involved in any wars, so why have theu arrived and fled their own country?
Europe is no longer on my bucket list. The culture is being eroded faster than you can imagine. It’s very sad.
And your country?…
Reception center??? What else????😡😡😡
Nowhere is safe.
Children ? 6f tall, that aside this is insane,
You have same problems as UK.....
Huge problem in the UK

Can't believe their parents actually asked them to go.
7 days in a boat full off excrement dose not sound good.
Well, there goes my desire to visit the Canary Islands.
Not enough ‘will’ to do anything about this.
Anyone care to take a guess at how the old Franco regime might have dealt with this specific problem.
Buy Spain was not in the EU then, nor was it a migrant magnet. It was still a pariah in Western Europe. It didn’t become attractive for migrants until 80s/90s.
Don’t even need that. Any sane centrist govt would happily do mass deportation to solve this in the morning. Thing is, an insidious extreme left now runs Europe and is sneakily presenting itself as the mainstream. Anyone that contradicts their lunacy is then labelled as “far right”.
I am utterly speechless what happened in Europe, and all the bl…politicians watching passively, because….. it doesn’t affect them , keep letting the ppl in , no matter what 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
USA and Canada are following closely …😢
3:50 - "The centre is currently running thanks to funding from an NGO," which NGO? Tell us, we need to know who these traitors are.
What would happen if everyone could move where they wanted to? No borders.
Try sending them on the boat they came on dumbbells
The people of the Canary Islands are known for their generosity and kindness. In contrast, it is unlikely that migrants would receive the same level of treatment in other parts of Europe, such as Greece. Additionally, Mauritania and Senegal need to take more effective measures to stop illegal migration by sea, which is extremely dangerous and has a high mortality rate. European countries should also address the root causes of this issue to prevent it from worsening.
Did they have the correct amount of money per day that they intended to stay?
No one gets asked that, don't believe what you read on youtube!!
Who is making and supplying the boats, stop sending new boats!
Wow 😳 I didn't know Spain canary 🏝️ islands had the same problem with illegals...
How are these people migrating all over the world, with cell phones?
Who is paying the bill
I thought we were easily duped in the UK, but this beats us hands down.
How many are we still to let in? This is enough!!!!
This is just the start unless you take action
Send them back
Then dont do it
Hope the people living there are happy concerning this issue.
Wow they receive vip treatment after coming in illegal i think im also going to organise a boat and come😮
The softer you are the more you are going to get manipulated . Give an inch and people will take a mile
More moneyvdraining cargo.
UNO will grant independece to the Islamic Republic of Canary Islands. Then beribudi will be free.
When will this stop.
When European politicians grow a spine.
When Europeans pull their raw mineral corporations out of Africa.
When there are no more Europeans left upon earth and all races are bred down into one conglomerate race that the elites will rule over (Coudenhove Kalergi Plan).
The Spanish woman said that the children didn’t understand why they couldn’t return to their mother, well, neither do I . Surely that is where they should be.
Soon it will stop...the first will become the last and the last the first
You’re already the last. Last at critical thinking
