Thousands of military-age men from Morocco invaded Spain today by crossing the border into the Spanish territory of Ceuta.
Hot Air’s David Strom posted this map:
Spain has deployed its military as these men arrive by sea and breach the border fence.
Wait…they have a BORDER FENCE!? Whoa:
Spain’s government said Thursday evening it would send the Armed Forces to help the Civil Guard “to maintain security in the city of Ceuta.” It also announced that Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez would join Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska and visit Ceuta Friday.“The situation is absolute chaos,” Rachid Sbihi, head of the association that represents Spain’s Civil Guard officers in Ceuta, who police the border told The Associated Press. “It’s not possible to give precise numbers, but there are thousands of migrants crossing,” he said, adding that the border had “totally collapsed.”
However, Spain’s interior ministry won’t declare a national emergency over migration concerns.
Thing is, Ceuta had to know this swarm would happen since thousands of people have been swimming for Morocco this past week, overwhelming border security. This is from an AP article published yesterday:
“In the last few days, more than 1,500 migrants, including adults and minors, have reached Ceuta by sea,” the leader of Ceuta’s government, Juan Jesús Vivas, told journalists. “The reception centers are collapsed and saturated.”Vivas said migrants previously died in the attempt, with 60 bodies being spotted at sea in the last year.
Spain’s far-left Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez responded:
The Government of Spain is fully committed to providing an immediate response to the situation in Ceuta.We are mobilizing all necessary resources, working with Moroccan and international authorities, and preparing the necessary measures to restore normalcy as soon as possible. I just conveyed this to President@JuanVivasLara.This is the moment to build solutions, with responsibility and cooperation.
You know what Sánchez did at the beginning of the month?
He celebrated Spain’s initiative to give the illegals in the country amnesty:
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, one of Europe’s prominent progressive leaders, called the measure “an act of justice and a necessity,” arguing that people already living and working in Spain should “do so under equal conditions” and pay taxes.
No, they designed the move to defeat the “far-right.”
How many times does President Donald Trump have to say told you so?
“President Trump has long warned Europe what would happen if they continue to implement far-left, globalist policies, including enabling mass migration,” White House principal deputy press secretary Anna Kelly told Fox News. “Spain and other countries who have adopted this destructive philosophy should immediately reverse course or risk their own demise.”
