Fortress Europe: Ceuta and Melilla

In September the world watched a dramatic spectacle unfolding as thousands of would-be immigrants from all over Africa charged barbed wire fences surrounding the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in a desperate attempt to enter Europe. In several incidents some immigrants were shot dead. In another, they were rounded up, put in trucks, and shipped off and left in the desert with no food, water, or shelter. These events highlight the growing need for the European Union to not only confront the issue of immigrant human rights, but make it a priority.
