President Trump warned the storming of a small Spanish enclave by tens of thousands of migrants would look “small time” compared to what happens in the US if voters pick open-border Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections.
Speaking at Camp David Friday, the president called the sudden mass migration into Ceuta a “catastrophe,” and said the harrowing footage showing the lawlessness breaking out at the Moroccan border “looks like an invasion.”
No sooner had the migrants breached the border than some started bathing in city fountains and using city streets as their own personal toilets.
“And that same thing is going to happen to us if the Republicans don’t get elected, except worse. Much bigger, much easier to get into, despite the fact that we have built thousands of miles of wall, which I said we were going to do,” Trump told reporters.
“We have the safest border in the world. If we’re not in office, our country will be invaded at levels that made Spain look small time.”
The shocking surge followed a ruling by Spain’s Supreme Court earlier this month which said migrants intercepted at sea while attempting to reach Ceuta or Melilla, another autonomous Spanish city in northern Morocco, cannot be immediately deported.
The socialist Spanish government just months ago also launched a program giving legal status to some 500,000 illegal immigrants in the country.
Trump blasted Spain’s government for these new policies, deriding them as “bad management” and “weak,” “very liberal” laws.
Here’s the latest on the illegal immigration crisis in Ceuta, Spain:
“They passed a couple of laws, and people read. You know, people are smart. They read from other countries, and they swam that three-mile swim, or however they got in. But nobody’s seen anything like it. That will look good compared to what’s going to happen to the United States,” he said.
“The biggest thing, the worst thing that Biden did is allowing 25 million people into our country, because many of those people are criminals, they’re murderers.”
The State Department pointed to the humanitarian disaster exploding in Spain as directly to blame for its failed immigration policies.
“The United States stands with the people of Spain, and all Europeans, against this egregious violation of their sovereignty and human rights,” the department wrote on its official X account Friday.
“This unacceptable incident is the direct result of the Spanish Government’s deliberate efforts to enable and facilitate mass illegal migration into Europe,” they continued, pledging support for foreign allies who also want to crack down on immigration.
“We are considering actions to defend Americans at home and abroad from this threat and stand ready to assist other European allies considering similar options.”
