The migrations constitute an important factor in the international interchanges because they generate wealth for both populations of origin and of reception. In order that his perverse effects disappear it is necessary to seek to reduce like between all the existing abysses between the economies of the rich countries and those of Africa. The perverse effect of these movements, the illegal or clandestine immigration, is not a new phenomenon. This way of emigrating was tolerated by many countries of destiny, from the 50s up to the economic crisis and the crisis of the oil of the 70s. The permissiveness owed a lack to itself in the juridical regulation of the migratory flows (absence of laws and of a frontier strict control) that was justifying itself for the need of growth of the European economies in a context of post-war period. This article tries to value the phenomenon of the illegal migrations today for the Strait of Gibraltar.
