In an age when the MSM dances around the label truths, identifying terrorists as "insurgents" or "rebels" instead of Islamic extremists, it's actually refreshing to see Spain call a spade a spade. Spain, of course, is the nation most noted for it's hasty retreat from Iraq following the tragic assault on citizens in the Madrid train bombing, followed by their election of anti-US policy leaders within hours.
I've said it before - the EU member states are elitists. We know they are anti-Semitic. Now we can definitely include anti-Islamic. Yet, by contrast, when the US attempts to check or merely search Muslim immigrants entering our borders, the world community and the ACLU jump all over us as "profiling" and racist.
Spain used to be an open door for illegal immigrants. An estimated one-quarter of all smuggled immigrants into Europe came through the Southern coast of Spain, most setting off from Morocco.
The sticks and stones of frustrated border guards had little effect against a rising tide of human traffic.
But all that changed on March 11. Most of the terrorists who killed 190 people on commuter trains in Madrid were Moroccan. Suddenly, the immigrant problem was a security problem.
Under pressure at home and from other European nations, rubber batons at the border were replaced by speedboats but success, so far, is limited.
"The numbers are down here by 50 percent," said Lt. David Oliva of the Spanish Border Guard. "But the
smugglers are just moving to other parts of the coast."(snip) continued at title link above
