It's the only African country with a land border to the EU so there's a point. There was a major incident with almost 40 dead at one of these borders only months ago.
I also don't like the framing of migrants and drugs in the same sentence as both issues are ethically very different. But both are driven by organized crime groups and the migrants are victims too. The traffickers take them for all they're worth. It's a problem that needs to be fought.

By "land" you mean "only a few miles of sea", I believe.
There are three spanish islets (exclaves): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enclave_and_exclave in Morocco, but they don't really count, even if inside Melilla, Ceuta or Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera

you are on Spanish territory, you still need to cross the Gibraltar straight to get to Spain, they are among the few "special territories" of the EU:
