I don't think that the argument of "well, if we resolve the issue of these 2 enclaves it won't resolve the issue of immigrants trying to illegally enter" really holds water, we had this type of boat illegal immigration for ever, it's perfectly normal to see coast guards of various nations intercepting these boats, catching them while they are trying to make a landing and turning them back, those are "good" images that show the people who have been propagandized that "no one is doing anything" and "governments are importing these people to replace you" that the system is there and borders are maintained in a pretty standard way.

It's very much different then having 2 enclaves with 6 meter tall walls surrounded by territory of a state they don't belong to getting swarmed by tens of thousands of people, many of them dying, most of them young men, those are powerful images that stoke the above fears, they give images to bullshit "invasion" narrative that is not going away.

That is the problem, to me, not that there is illegal immigration, there always will be as long as we have borders and nation states, how just that is, well, that's a completely different discussion that we can have but it again has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

This part that I don't get is why is no one willing to acknowledge how much worse these kind of incidents are then anything similar happening with immigrants trying to enter any other way.

Maybe giving these enclaves to Morocco is a stupid idea, I can concede that, I just refuse to concede that the current situation is fine and we can dismiss it because there are other ways of immigrants coming in.
