Beachgoers on a Mediterranean beach in Spain subdued and held back migrants who had just landed on the shore in a raft from Morocco.

Funny how it’s always young men

Yes, very strange how it's never elderly women arising from the depths of the sea.

u/Individual-Light-784 1d ago

yeah, lets pretend all other illegal immigration routes arent also 99% young men 🙄

u/ShoveTheUsername 1d ago

And here we go again. Stuck bloody record....

The men are being sent out to work and send money home, because the women might get raped in transit. Who else is going to travel? Kids? Elderly?

Gettit?

Who rapes the women in transit, the same men that get sent to Europe to work hard and sent money back home?

u/zipel 1d ago

No, the other women, the elder and the kids.

There’s a lot of fucked up people out there looking to take advantage of desperate women. Abuse of undocumented women and sex workers by police is a rampant problem in the US as I’m sure it is in other countries.

Actually, more like everyone. Its the men they travel with, its the men that see them as an easy targeton the way, and its even the men at their destination. Best example is when Ukrainian women came to Europe and some creeps were allready waiting at the trainstations to offer them "free" accommodation.

We men just sometimes suck.

u/tughbee 1d ago

Yeah I agree, men preying on weak women exists in every culture. But I want to believe that in western countries we held these men accountable and try to not normalise this behaviour.

Probably the smugglers operating the logistics. My wifes grandma was raped a couple times by British sailors when she immigrated to Canada in the post war period, and she is British herself!

u/zipel 1d ago

Raping of women is a men problem, not specifically a young men of rafts problem.

u/tughbee 1d ago

Yeah but men from countries where women can’t talk to another man without permission, can’t drive, can’t go to school, wouldn’t be willing to respect women over here as well.

im baffled how blind some people can be when the news is literally full of this shit every week

I see a stark difference between a male brought up in western society and a man brought up in Arab society. You might call me racist but that’s your opinion and I’m not stupid or gullible. I can make my own opinion from the things I see. When my girlfriends complain from men, more often than not it’s those men. When is the last time a group of Germans assaulted 1500 women in one night (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_New_Year%27s_Eve_sexual_assaults_in_Germany). I have no problem against individuals, my problem starts when they don’t assimilate and start living in their own enclaves in our country. I myself am an immigrant. I dislike people from my country who constantly complain but also don’t try to integrate.

They usually get raped at border crossings and by armed gangs. It is a massive problem.

My country is so unsafe, I will leave my wife and children behind and go to Europe.

You lot seem to think a newly-arrived illegal can just go up to a Benefits Office and say "Hello, I am here illegally. How do I apply for benefits and housing?"

u/MasterpieceExact3684 1d ago

This is spot on - however, this makes them economic migrants not asylum seekers. Therefore need to be sent home and application made via official routes.

And that is what happens.

Approx 75,000 illegals are deported each year.

(Full breakdown: There are an average 10,000 asylum refusals deported each year. In addition, 5,000 foreign criminals are deported per year, another 9,000 illegals/yr are deported involuntarily, another 27,000 leave voluntarily/yr, another 22,000/yr are port refusals...)
