EU - MOROCCO - Illegal immigrants desperately aim for Ceuta and Melilla, Spain's fortified cities

Increasingly, these two heavily fortified cities are coming under pressure from illegal immigrants, who are hoping for a better life in Europe. As EU heads of state gather in Belgium, illegal immigration is certain to become a discussion point once again.
