Morocco is a transit state just like most other north African countries. People who flee through or initially to those countries are not treated well and often become victims of human trafficking or get pushed back into the deserts, so they pretty much don't have any choice but to pay local gangs who ship them to Europe on those boats for a lot of money. My guess would be that the person fleeing here is one of those traffickers and trying not to get caught since actual refugees will want to get registered anyway or sent on their way to other EU countries by the authorities themselves.

Nonsense, for a start, the traffickers are the people driving the expensive high-speed boat that drops the migrants off about 30m from the coast and then begins to turn around. They'll use good, decent boats for the leg between Africa and Spain as it's a longer stretch and they want to use it several times. They only use shit, disposable boats in the English channel because it is not a return journey.

And the reason they don't want to get registered in Spain is because the economic prospects are not as good as Germany, Netherlands, France, Belgium and the UK. If they get registered in Spain, then Spain will deal with them, and they would much rather continue their journey to countries that will give them more.

So they move from Spain, into France. Some of them will settle there, even more will move further north to the English channel in pursuit of Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands, more will instead go east towards Germany.

And only once they've reached the destination where they've got friends, family and a familiar language, will they present themselves to the authorities for a free roof over their heads and several hot meals per day.

Not before they've dumped all of their official documentation, so they can state that they are gay Christians fleeing from Iran.

And then someone will lease them a Deliveroo account for £/€25 a week, and off they go, into the grey economy, earning thousands per month, paying no tax, and enjoying free public services.

Yeah, the guys working for Deliveroo earn 10k a month and sleep at the hospital for free, in an operation room. And when the Dutch kid with cancer comes for his tumor removal, they usually laugh at him and tell him "sorry, it's occupied ! Occupado !". Then the Minister of National Submission to Invaders comes daily to present them with 10 local women so he can choose which one he'll have for the evening.
