“Spanish fashion designer Antonio Miro caused a stir on Friday after he used African immigrants ”” some of them illegal ”” as models at a Barcelona fashion show.

Eight Senegalese immigrants, dressed in white and beige outfits, paraded down the catwalk Thursday as part of the show, which also featured a white wooden fishing boat ”” the same type illegal immigrants use nearly every day to reach Spains Canary Islands, off west Africa.”
