The White House slammed Spain’s socialist prime minister Pedro SΓ‘nchez after more than 60,000 migrants overran the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco this week β blaming his far-left border policies for the catastrophic breach.
“President Trump has long warned Europe what would happen if they continue to implement far-left, globalist policies, including enabling mass migration,” White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly told Fox News Thursday.
“SPAIN AND OTHER COUNTRIES WHO HAVE ADOPTED THIS DESTRUCTIVE PHILOSOPHY SHOULD IMMEDIATELY REVERSE COURSE OR RISK THEIR OWN DEMISE.”
Trump himself drove the point home during a televised cabinet meeting at Camp David Friday, calling the Ceuta crisis a preview of America’s future if Democrats retake power.
“You know I saw Spain yesterday, and I watched the catastrophe that took place. It looks like an invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people,” Trump said.
“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.”
“If we didn’t have that, forget it,” he added. “But 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.”
Trump warned the images from Ceuta will become a defining issue for the midterm elections.
“That’s going to be a talking point for the midterms, because when you look at what happened to Spain, they don’t know what to do. And it’s happening again today. They’re coming in by the tens of thousands. It’s just invading the country,” he said.
“That is weak law, bad management, but very liberal law. They passed a couple of laws and people read, you know, people are smart. They read from other countries, and they swam that 3-mile swim or however they got in.”
In a separate interview with Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, Trump warned Americans to remember the images from Ceuta.
“It’s terrible. Remember that picture. That’s going to be us in three years if the wrong side gets in. If the Democrats get in, you will not live a very good life,” he said.
“IF THE DEMOCRATS GET IN, YOU WILL NOT LIVE A VERY GOOD LIFE.”
The Spanish government claimed Friday that 48,300 of the estimated 50,000 migrants who breached Ceuta had “already turned and gone back.”
But the Ceuta regional government put the total number much higher β up to 60,000 migrants entering the enclave from Thursday on.
Reuters reported Friday that several hundred migrants were seen returning to Morocco through border posts and gaps in the fence. Some told reporters they were leaving because they couldn’t find food or shelter in Ceuta.
Prime Minister SΓ‘nchez finally denounced the wave as a “violation of Spain’s territorial integrity” Friday, claiming his government would expedite deportations. He blamed human smugglers for spreading false claims online that Spain’s borders were open.
Patriots know the truth: weak leftist border policies invite invasion. Trump warned Europe. They didn’t listen. Now Spain is paying the price β and Trump is making sure Americans don’t forget what’s at stake in 2026.
