Most of the ships carrying the migrants dock at Hierro Island, which has already received several thousand migrants in the past few weeks.
314 migrants arrived in the Canary Islands on Monday morning, and in the past three days more than 1,600 illegal immigrants have landed on the islands. Associated Press reports.
It was noted that most of the ships with migrants landed on the island of Hierro, which has already received several thousand migrants in the past few weeks.
So, last Saturday 320 migrants arrived in one. According to the EFE agency, this is the largest transport of illegal immigrants on a ship since the route to the Canary Islands began to be used to transport illegal immigrants in 1994.
Most migrants are reported to have arrived in the Canary Islands from African countries.
Upon arrival in Spain, migrants spend approximately 72 hours in police custody for identification. Depending on the situation, some are deported, although most are sent to mainland Spain, where authorities examine their asylum claims. If illegal immigrants are not accepted, they are ordered to leave Spain.
According to the Spanish Ministry of Internal Affairs, from January 1 to October 15, 2023, almost 23.5 thousand migrants landed in the Canary Islands. This is 90% more than the same period last year.
We remind you that in early October, more than 500 illegal migrants arrived in the Canary Islands per day.
It is also reported that 1,200 illegal migrants are arrested in Tunisia every day.
