Again, as I have always said, those Countries who deride the West rarely have people dying to get into Western Countries for a better life.

MADRID, Spain – Spanish authorities found 13 bodies and 46 survivors Wednesday on a packed migrant boat intercepted near the Canary Islands.

The ministry said some migrants on Wednesday’s boat told police they had set sail from the west African country of Guinea more than a week ago.

Every year thousands of Africans looking for a better life in Europe attempt treacherous journeys in overcrowded boats.
