The theory about illegal immigrants' strategies to avoid deportation

Spain faces a growing influx of illegal immigrants to its shores. The Spanish coast has witnessed an invasion of boats loaded with migrants attempting to enter the country irregularly. This situation has increased in recent years, becoming a challenge for authorities and communities near the affected areas.

Pedro Sánchez's government has been criticized for allowing these illegal immigrants to be transferred to different points on the peninsula. This has caused controversy, as some sectors of society believe that it is facilitating the permanence of these immigrants in Spain, instead of reinforcing control measures.

Moreover, illegal immigrants have perfected various strategies to avoid deportation once they reach Spanish territory. Many of these tactics involve manipulating the country's legal and health system, creating a serious management problem for authorities.

One of the most well-known tactics is using the health system to extend their stay in Spain. Immigrants who are about to be deported know that a hospital admission can delay their deportation for up to 60 days. This strategy has been used on numerous occasions and has created a legal loophole that many illegal immigrants exploit to avoid being expelled from the country.

The process is relatively simple: when immigrants face deportation, some resort to an extreme tactic to enter the health system. They swallow objects like batteries or small metal pieces, causing a medical emergency that requires their hospitalization. Once admitted to the hospital, their deportation is temporarily suspended while they receive medical care.

Health authorities are alerted to these types of practices, although they are limited in their ability to prevent them. NGOs and other immigrant support groups have been accused of being indirect accomplices to these tactics.

It is suspected that some of these organizations, in their eagerness to help immigrants, could be providing advice or even logistical support to carry out these actions.

Immigration laws in Spain are constantly being modified to adapt to new realities. But many believe that more drastic reforms are needed to prevent these strategies from being effective.

The situation has also highlighted the lack of coordination between the different government departments responsible for controlling illegal immigration.

Meanwhile, human trafficking networks continue to operate with impunity. Illegal immigrants not only benefit from loopholes in the legal system but also rely on these networks to reach Europe and cross Spain. These organized groups have learned to adapt to control policies, making the work of authorities even more difficult.
