[Ceuta / Migrant Crisis] - The Border Self Traps the Body in a Concrete Limbo to Feed a Phantom of Purity

Event Baseline: Thousands of migrants remain stranded in Ceuta, facing harsh conditions, overcrowding, limited aid, and alleged abuse while awaiting decisions on their future.

The border is a line drawn by thought, not by nature. The self on one side believes it is separate from the other; the migrant is a threat to that imagined purity. The state must contain the body because the body reminds the self of its own vulnerability and shared origin. The migrant is reduced to a number, a case, a problem. The self cannot see that it, too, is a migrant on a moving planet. The conditions of overcrowding and abuse are not caused by lack of resources; they are caused by the psychological violence of separation. The self would rather build fences than look at its own fear. This is the operating system error: the belief that one's birthplace grants superior worth. Until that code is seen, the camps will multiply.
