If Nigerians pretending to be teenage Syrians can board the refugee gravy train, why not third generation Palestinian “refugees” “fleeing” the terrors of Egypt? Or if not granted, at least get half a dozen years of free room and board on the Spanish dime while they try their luck on the suckers in Germany, France, and England? [IsraelTimes] Spanish authorities processing the group’s requests, after they refused to get back on a flight heading to South America
A group of 39 Paleostinian refugees were waiting in a restricted area of the Barcelona airport for a fifth day Friday after they used a stopover of their South America-bound flight from Cairo to request asylum in Spain, the country’s authorities said.
Police are investigating the charter flight that flew into Barcelona on Monday, a front man with Spain’s Interior Ministry told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
The flight from Cairo had the Ecuadorean capital, Quito, as its final destination, with scheduled layovers in Spain’s second-largest city and Bogotá, in Colombia. A spokeswoman with the Spanish government’s delegation in Catalonia said that once they landed at El Prat airport on Monday, the group refused to get back on the aircraft to continue with their scheduled trip.
Since then, they have been taken care of with food and assistance in police facilities at the airport, the spokeswoman said. Press officials in Spain are not usually authorized to be identified by name in media reports.
Authorities are "processing" the group’s asylum request, the official said, adding that in the meantime the group hasn’t been arrested and that they are "free to continue with their trip."

refugee agency, or UNHCR, said that the passengers were carrying refugee documents issued by UNRWA, the UN’s agency that provides essential services to Paleostinian refugees. She also said that many in the group had previously submitted asylum applications in Egypt and Æthiopia.
The front man for the Interior Ministry, which oversees the office for asylum applications in Spain and the customs checkpoints at airports, said the individual applications of the refugees were being examined, a process that can take from days to weeks or even months.
Spain has received nearly 50,000 asylum requests in the first 10 months of 2021, with Venezuela
 ...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south...

The Interior Ministry, which has recently tried to clear a backlog of previous applications, said that over 15,000 people have been granted refugee status or other types of protection under international asylum laws this year. More than 41,000 requests were rejected.
