Spain has a large flow of immigrants from Africa due to its proximity. Most arrive in small boats. How can we improve their situation when they arrive to the Spanish coasts?
The economic situation of most African countries is very precarious due to centuries of exploitation by their former colonizing countries, most of which are European, to the existence of governments with disastrous economic management and the benefit of the large transnationals and that have not sought to raise the standard of living of their citizens but to remain in power at all costs. To adequately attend to African immigrants who arrive irregularly on the Spanish coasts, the following measures, among others, must be implemented:
1- Have facilities with adequate conditions to attend to immigrants who arrive on the Spanish coasts, including the corresponding medical-sanitary facilities.
2- Offer the necessary legal advice so that immigrants can know their rights and obligations according to the Spanish legal system and decide what the next steps to take and their consequences.
3- Facilitate the return to their country to all those immigrants who do not comply with the legal requirements to stay in the country or if that is their wish once they know their rights and the current laws on immigration.
4- Immigrants who are accepted should be relocated to reception centers located in different regions to train them in learning the Spanish language, know the working conditions they would face, job availability according to their experience and technical-professional profession, characteristics of life in Spanish society, the main laws in force, among other issues that allow them to rejoin the labor and social life of the country in the most beneficial way possible.
5-Once they found a suitable job, the immigrants would leave the reception centers to start an independent life. Those who do not get it within a certain period will be given all the facilities for their return to their country of origin to have the necessary space to serve new immigrants who meet the legal requirements to stay in the country.
However, the most important help to reduce the number of African immigrants is to provide the resources to improve the living conditions in many African countries, create jobs, improve the medical and educational system, and achieve that goal.
Migrants working in Spanish agricultural fields suffer from "poor" living conditions, according to the United Nations, warning the Spanish authorities of a further deterioration in the conditions of migrant workers. Seydou, 28, a migrant worker from Senegal, said during his conversation with immigrants, "We live like animals." The young migrant has been trying to endure harsh living conditions for more than four more see :

Any humanitarian activities should be better organised by national Red Cross or Red Crescent (or Red Cristal), because of possible international cooperation.
