Border Fence Between Spain & Morocco?

Why can't the US build one along the southern border to keep out illegal aliens, terrorists, drug gangs, criminals...

If you want to immigrate, use the system that has worked for decades. If other people can immigrate legally, what is wrong with those that come illegally?

“Have all the rounds been made?” Romeo 40 asks Romeo 00.

“Negative,” comes the reply. “There are finding faults at the last minute. They’re telling us to take them through the Muslim cemetery zone, through the darkest zone.”

The radio conversation between a Civil Guard captain in the Spanish North African exclave of Melilla and a non-commissioned officer occurred just after midnight on April 26. Romeo followed by a number is the codename the officers use, though occasionally a real name slips out.

The “rounds” to which they are referring are the illegal night-time handovers of sub-Saharan immigrants to Moroccan security forces. These are migrants who have jumped the fence separating Melilla from Morocco. EL PAÍS has obtained a recording of the conversation between the two officers that day, hours after a group of immigrants had scaled the fence.

The “on-the-spot” handovers not only serve to reduce the number of immigrants but also act as a deterrent to those waiting to cross the border in the mountains around Melilla.
