POLICE DISPERSE IMMIGRANTS WAITING TO BOARD FERRIES TO NORTHERN AFRICA IN SOUTHERN SPANISH PORT OF ALGECIRAS. The Spanish Civil Guard uses batons to disperse immigrants from northern Africa after they were protesting against people allegedly jumping the queue as they were waiting to board ferries to return to their countries in the southern Spanish port of Algeciras July 31, 2000. Some 20,000 cars board ferries going to northern Africa daily during the holiday season, as many illegal immigrants try to cross The Gibraltar Straights from Africa in frail boats during the night to set foot on European soil.
