Would-be African immigrants wait to be processed after being intercepted off the coast of Canary Islands. Over 70 immigrants were detained by the Spanish authority during the weekend, while they were trying to reach European soil from Africa.
1. Does "Would-be African immigrants" mean "they are not real but pretend to be African immigrants"?
2. What does "to be processed" mean here?
Thanks.
