Spain reports drop in illegal immigration by sea

The New York Times reported that the Spanish Government announced that illegal immigration by sea dropped drastically during the mont of February – from 4,000 in January to 930 in February.

The news was given by Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska on a visit to Spain’s northern African enclave of Melilla.

Spain became the leading entry point into Europe for illegal migrants last year, when it received over 57,000 people by sea compared to 21,000 in 2017.
Illegal immigration is expected to be on the agenda in April’s general elections.
