Canary Islands Migrant Crisis: 46,843 Illegal Arrivals in 2023

63,970 illegal immigrants arrived in Spain last year, most of them in the Atlantic archipelago, compared to 56,852 immigrants in 2023, the Ministry of the Interior announced.

Spain has come to the forefront of the European Union’s (EU) migration crisis as tighter controls in the Mediterranean encourage more migrants to attempt the perilous journey from West Africa to the Canary Islands.

EU border agency Frontex announced that between January 2024 and November 2024, the number of illegal entry cases in the bloc as a whole fell by 40%, while on the Atlantic route it increased by 19%.
