Keywords:
Politics, Immigration, Border rejection, Minors, AsylumAbstract
Ceuta and Melilla have become a visible global centre of attention as a consequence of both the political and migratory crisis which has occured in the span of a year. Immigration and other issues derived from their geographical location have shattered both Spanish cities. Unlawful entries, minors refoulement, criminal charges derived from such practices, as well as loopholes related to the asylum system, will be an object of analysis in this paper. All of the above will be dealt with not leaving out the role played by Morocco, the neighbouring country with which there is a growing interrelation both in terms of the creation of problems and in the search for solutions.
