Border Crisis in Ceuta, Spain

chaos at the border of

spain's north african enclave in morocco

this is a city called suta

you're watching as thousands of migrants

break through the fence

and completely overwhelm the border police

their video showing huge groups of people

mostly young military age guys

cramming into inflatable tubes or arriving

on shore another way

some of them waiting in the water

as they break through the gates

to get to the other side

sandra this is uh reminiscent

of kind of what we saw

during the open border during the Biden administration

through 2021-2024, kind of similar to what

we saw in Del Rio back in 2021.

The socialist agenda, their platform literally says

they want to abolish borders,

abolish immigration enforcement, have complete freedom of movement.

This is what it looks like in another country

if they get what they want.

Notice there is no resistance from the government whatsoever.

These people are coming in without any obstruction.

And if people don't know, has a very left-wing government.

Earlier this year they did a big amnesty program

for over a million illegal immigrants living in the country.

They had 1.3 million illegal immigrants apply for that amnesty program

between April and June. So that's what we call a pull factor, Sandra.

They're looking for something like that.

They know if they can just get their foot in the country

maybe someday that left-wing government will do another amnesty program.

And you were just reading some of the wires.

The locals want an emergency declaration.

It sounds like the ministry's saying no.

And they will not deploy military to the border.

Apparently they don't think this is a number, I mean,

look at this, this is a total free-for-all.

It does feel like we are looking at a few years ago

when you're reporting at the border here in the United States.

This is happening right now.

This story is breaking right now.

And you're not just talking about hundreds,

thousands of migrants are pouring over the borders as we speak.

Yeah, and again, I mean, just look here.

Do you see any women or children?

I mean, most people would call these folks so-called asylum seekers.

These are all young guys just flooding into the country.

and overwhelming what if any border there is it looks like

there's just kind of a small barbed wire fence or something like that

but you can see the Spanish government has caught completely off guard here

and you have thousands of these men I

mean it literally looks like you often hear the word invasion

but it literally looks like one here

look at that I mean you see the border fence there

they're all just going around it and again the

head of Spain's Civil Guard is calling this absolute chaos.

In a brand new interview he said quote

it's not possible to give precise numbers but there are thousands of migrants crossing right now.

He added that the border has totally collapsed quote unquote.

Yeah it certainly looks like it and for folks who don't know

where this is this is a small Spanish city autonomous in North Africa.

It's actually in Morocco but it it is it does have Spanish autonomy.

It's called Ceuta.

So this isn't on the mainland of Spain,

but these images, we've been looking at them on social media all morning.

It's just stark to see that there is no resistance whatsoever.

I mean, at least in Del Rio back in 2021,

when those 20,000 Haitians were crossing the river,

similar images to this, you had some border patrol there.

You had Texas DPS there trying to stop them here in Spain.

There is absolutely nothing stopping these folks from wading ashore and climbing the And

Sandra, just, I mean.

Look at that in the background.

I mean, there are thousands upon thousands of these men just flooding the

country. And there are reported deaths, as well,

of some of those that are crossing over by water.

We're gonna be on this.

We're gonna have brand-new details as this story develops.

We'll have those for you shortly.
