00:01CARM is slowly returning to Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta
00:05after around 72,000 migrants crossed from Morocco in just days.
00:10Spanish officials say most have now returned, but thousands remain,
00:15hoping to find work as residents continue to voice concerns over illegal migration.
00:25We want to go to mainland Spain to work. It's hard to find jobs in Morocco,
00:30so we hope to find work in Spain. Swimming here was very difficult.
00:35At one point, I thought I was going to drown. Some people just disappeared while trying to swim across.
00:40I don't know if there's no risk. It's hard.
00:47Last week's irregular entry of tens of thousands of migrants from Morocco to Ceuta
00:52left 77 people dead in the Spanish North African territory.
00:57Spain has responded by deploying a 500-metre floating barrier between Ceuta and Morocco,
01:04creating a new sea border designed to help security forces deter illegal crossings
01:08and regain control of the frontier.
