About 48,000 of the nearly 60,000 migrants who crossed into Spain’s North African territory of Ceuta in a 24-hour period have returned to Morocco, Spanish officials said.
The surge erupted July 29-30, when thousands of migrants began entering Ceuta, many by swimming to breakwaters near the Tarajal border checkpoint. Some swimmers came ashore, and Spanish rescue crews picked up others from the water.
At least 57 migrant deaths have been reported. Spain has sent troops to the area.
The large number of migrants threatened to overwhelm Ceuta, a Spanish autonomous city with about 83,000 residents. Ceuta itself is about 7.5 square miles in size, about a third the size of Manhattan.

How did they get there? Boats? Swim? Isn’t there a stretch of water between these countries?
Spain should be penalized for this by the EU, makes no sense we keep giving EU fonds and then we suffer the consequences because all of those immigrants are going to the rich northern countries
