Spain Says Flood of Migrants from Morocco is 'Serious Crisis'  

MADRID - Spain's prime minister flew to the country's North African enclave Tuesday to contain a migration crisis with neighboring Morocco after 6,000 migrants swam or walked over the border.    

Spain deployed troops and extra police to repel crowds who were trying to get around security fences from Morocco into the tiny Spanish territory after a huge incursion of migrants the day before.     Videos emerged that appeared to show Moroccan soldiers opening security gates to let migrants through to the Spanish port city.     “This sudden arrival of irregular migrants is a serious crisis for Spain and Europe,” said Sanchez in a televised address to the nation before travelling to Ceuta and Melilla, another Spanish enclave bordering Morocco.
