23, 2014, The Guardian reported on the background of what was happening on that border: “Each year thousands of Africans – many of whom have spent years traveling across north and sub-Saharan Africa – try to reach Europe by making it past the fortified fence that separates Morocco from the Spanish enclaves of Melilla and Ceuta. Of the 200 immigrants who have attempted the jump, around a hundred have managed to climb onto the railings of the fence and about 70 have remained hanging for hours.”
A Google translation of the Spanish caption read: “Dozens of immigrants try to jump over the Melilla fence. The incident in the picture took place at the Spain-Morocco border in October 2014, long before the COVID-19 pandemic. The picture appeared as the 18th photograph in a slideshow on the website for La Verdad, a Spanish-language daily newspaper based in Murcia, Spain. In fact, it had nothing to do with North America or even South America. However, the photograph of the people atop the fence was not captured on the U.S.-Mexico border. 200 immigrants from 50 countries became citizens during the ceremony, one day before America’s Independence Day. citizens recite the Pledge of Allegiance during naturalization ceremony at the New York Public Library, Jin New York City. It’s true that the top picture in the immigration meme showed a real naturalization ceremony in New York. The meme continued to be shared in October 2021, when we first published this story. 17, 2021, read: “No guarantee they are vaccinated.” This appeared to refer to the picture of people on top of the fence in relation to unfounded COVID-19 fears.
