White House blasts Spanish government as thousands of migrants surge from Morocco, emergency request denied
Fox News ^ | July 30, 2026 | Robert McGreevy

The White House bashed Spain's left-wing government after the border between Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta and Morocco collapsed Thursday.

"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 in a statement.

"Spain and other countries who have adopted this destructive philosophy should immediately reverse course or risk their own demise."

Ceuta's president formally requested a national emergency declaration Thursday after more than 2,000 migrants crossed the border from Morocco in the past 10 days. Videos showed chaotic scenes of migrants pouring into the Spanish territory.

Video shows hordes of apparently military-aged men smiling and posing for cameras, some carrying swimming flippers, and sprinting through the streets as authorities struggle to corral the unruly masses.

Other footage shows crowds of migrants emerging from the sea, climbing up onto Ceuta's rocky shores and working their way around border fences.

Ceuta President Juan Jesús Vivas formally requested that Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez declare a national emergency to help respond to the border crisis, Spanish media outlets reported. Madrid, however, denied the request.

If they want to do that, they should announce that they are withdrawing.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Spain declares that 200 illegals per day for 10 days is a national emergency.

Pikers. Our nominal pResident Biden let in thousands a day. Tens of thousands a month. Hundreds of thousands a year. Millions.

I sure wish that would have been a ‘national emergency’ when it was happening. Maybe for the past 30 years?

“Please Europe. Help us!”

Jerks.

I have a sister who moved to Spain and she says the Spaniards are really nasty fascists. And she’s a liberal.

I posted from a previous thread:

Spain should just give Ceuta away. Evacuate any Spanish citizens from its North African colony and turn it over to anyone who wants it.
It's obvious that African Jihadis see it as a gateway --- that being in Ceuta gives you direct access to Spain proper, then the rest of Europe.
No, thanks, they should say. You're free now, Ceutans. We no longer recognize you as a part of Spain at all. You won't get a free ride from us.

I waited for a response, for someone to tell me either that
(1) The leftist Spanish gov't wouldn't stop the invasion, or
(2)It's too late to stop it anyway.

Probably both are true.

Fox news was showing video of this earlier today. Looked like mostly young men coming ashore. Did not see a woman or child at all in the vids they played. Another invasion. Spain is lost!

This will eventually lead to a Muslim attempt to take over the Straits of Gibraltar.
