Sunny weather, sad consecuences
Saturday, May 12th, 2007
This last few days,
have been extremely hot and sunny. The 'Calima' striked us once again this week bringing, apart from the sticky hot air, its usual lack of any other weather phenomenon. Unfortunately this brings, not only beach mood, but also an inmense 'wave' of illegal immigrants who take advantage of this weather condition to make try their way to us.
Yesterday, the astonishing number of 241 subsaharian immigrants arrived at Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife, intercepted by Sea Rescue and the 'Guardia Civil'. Today, a new 'cayuco', the type boat they travel in, was intercepted on its way to Tenerife with 101 immigrants on board, raising the whole number of subsaharian immigrants to 342 in less then 48 hours.
Really sad :( . How bad has their life to be over there to risk their lifes and savings over and over again, knowing their possibility of getting caught is almost 95%.
Do you know where the new runway will...
