Almost 1,500 Immigrants In 48 Hours

A sad record, says CanariasAlDia, that almost 1,200 "irregulars" had reached the Canary Islands in boats this weekend, when two more boats with more than 200 people on board were about to arrive in Tenerife. With these, the first weekend of September made record numbers again: almost 1,500 in 48 hours.

Meanwhile, Spain vows to curb migrant wave. The Spanish government has said it will not tolerate the continued arrival of African migrants on its shores.
