Italy SHUTS DOWN BORDER Travel With Spain As EU Leaders FREAKOUT After Mass Migration BACKFIRES!
YouTube ^ | 07/31/2026 | Black Conservative Perspective

Posted on 07/31/2026 7:59:18 PM PDT by SmokingJoe

This video from Black Conservative Perspective discusses a major migrant crisis in the Spanish city of Ceuta, where tens of thousands of individuals surged across the border from Morocco (0:00-0:12, 0:56-1:04).

Key highlights include:

The Situation: Reports indicate up to 34 deaths occurred during the chaotic influx, with the local president labeling the situation as unsustainable (0:00-0:06, 0:20-0:24, 5:01-5:03). The Spanish government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, has deployed the military to restore order and blamed human trafficking networks for the crisis (0:34-0:48).

Controversial Policies: The host attributes the crisis to "leftist" government policies, specifically citing a recent program offering amnesty to undocumented migrants and a Spanish court ruling that limited the immediate deportation of those arriving by sea (1:20-1:30, 2:11-2:25, 6:15-6:29).

European Reaction: Other European nations and EU officials, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, expressed strong condemnation of the events, calling them unacceptable (7:26-7:39, 8:39-8:56)

Italy's Action: The video covers breaking news that Italy moved to temporarily suspend the Schengen Agreement free-movement regime with Spain in response to the crisis, effectively closing borders to protect against potential spillover effects (11:53-12:18, 14:10-14:51).

Political Context: The host presents this event as a "cautionary tale" for the United States, arguing that similar "open-border" policies would lead to comparable crises if implemented domestically (1:57-2:07, 3:05-3:24, 19:01-19:03).

Italy might want to think twice about throwing stones.

Almost 10% of it’s population is now foreign born, a large percentage of them non-European.

How relevant are they?
Musk’s X and his posts on X have more influence in European politics lately than legacy media does.
Look at France and Germany were the right are set to win the next elections.

Of course, Italy doesn’t have a border with Spain. Italy is rejecting Spanish passports, which are supposed to be universal within the Schengen.

"...After Mass Migration BACKFIRES!..."

What they really mean is "as Mass Migration Begins To Achieve Exactly What It Was Intended To."

Italy is not checking passports on roads going into the country. Correct me if I am wrong.

Grok:

False. Italy does conduct passport/ID checks on some roads entering the country.

en.wikipedia.org

Italy is in the Schengen Area, so systematic passport controls are normally absent at internal land borders with other Schengen countries (France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia). However, Italy has temporarily reintroduced border controls at its land border with Slovenia under the Schengen Borders Code (due to migration, security, and related concerns).

These have been extended multiple times and are currently in place until at least 18 December 2026. Checks are selective/risk-based rather than fully systematic for every vehicle, but travelers can (and do) face ID/passport inspections, with reports of delays on road and rail crossings in that area.

“Checks are selective/risk-based rather than fully systematic for every vehicle”

Is the operative phrase. It is not like going from Mexico to the USA.

True but the Spanish still come in by boats and planes/through other countries.
Right now they are going to get checked. No free pass.

JD Vance:

Thank God @POTUS was elected and our country's border no longer looks like this.

These images out of Spain are an unfortunate reminder of the consequences of mass migration and the radical left-wing globalist policies that have enabled the Invasion of the West.

@BillMelugin_: “Just look here, do you see any women or children? I mean most people would call these folks so-called asylum seekers. These are young guys just flooding into the country and overwhelming what if any border there is.”
