If there was one thing that embodied the current mass migration crisis of the West, it would be the invasion of the Spanish city of Ceuta<\/u> in North Africa by tens of thousands of military-aged illegal migrant men from Morocco and other North African countries.<\/div>\n
The images of these illegal aliens literally breaking into, terrorizing<\/u>, and wreaking havoc<\/u> in Ceuta \u2013 akin to ancient armies storming besieged cities \u2013 shocked both Europeans and Americans.<\/div>\n
But the Ceuta incursion<\/u> should not have been at all surprising.<\/div>\n
Given the illegal migrant amnesty forced upon Spain by the left-wing government in Madrid, coupled with a reckless ruling by the country\u2019s Supreme Court, it was completely predictable and only a matter of time. And it should be treated as a five-\u2018til-twelve warning to the entire Western world.<\/div>\n
Earlier this year, Spain\u2019s socialist anti-borders prime minister rammed through a massive amnesty via royal decree.<\/div>\n
The original estimates were that \u201conly\u201d about 500,000 migrants would be \u201cregularized.\u201d Mission creep quickly set in, and the real numbers exceeded<\/u> those projections more than twice over. Police in Spain also claim large-scale fraud<\/u>. Both FAIR<\/u> and European experts easily predicted<\/u> this outcome.<\/div>\n
Similarly, we predicted that the amnesty would not fix the illegal migration crisis, but would make it even worse by incentivizing more illegal migrants<\/u> to try their luck.<\/div>\n
And, in Ceuta, they did just that.<\/div>\n
These common-sense predictions came true not due to any special clairvoyance. Anyone not blinded by anti-borders ideology and the accompanying \u201csuicidal empathy\u201d complex could have foretold the obvious outcome.<\/div>\n
A poorly thought-through ruling by Spain\u2019s Supreme Court earlier in July poured jet fuel onto the Sanchez amnesty fire. The court decided<\/u> that illegal border crossers could only be summarily deported if they had crossed a physical land barrier. If they swam in or otherwise circumvented a border fence or barrier, they would have the right to so-called \u201cdue process,\u201d asylum applications, etc. (which, in Europe, so often means \u201ccatch and release\u201d).<\/div>\n
Human smugglers were clearly paying attention and immediately issued a clarion call.<\/div>\n
As both Americans<\/u> and Europeans<\/u> know well, irresponsible rulings by activist judges can have profoundly negative immigration consequences, including incentivizing mass illegal migrant influxes trying to exploit the resulting loopholes.<\/div>\n
Commenators have pointed out other factors as well, including \u201chybrid warfare\u201d by Morocco<\/u> against Spain, or political propaganda by Islamists<\/u> within Morocco.<\/div>\n
Either way, the migrants simply exploited a wide gaping hole left open for them by amnesty and the courts.<\/div>\n
Had Spain practiced deterrence, like the U.S. under Trump<\/u> or Poland<\/u> in recent years, hostile actors would have had a much harder time deploying weaponized migration against it.<\/div>\n
\u201cAfter this unprecedented migrant invasion, Spain remains plunged into shock and disbelief,\u201d EU expert and native of Spain, Rodrigo Ballester<\/u>, told FAIR. \u201cToo many questions remain unanswered after this unprecedented aggression, and trust in Pedro Sanchez and his government, already severely damaged, is at its lowest point.\u201d<\/div>\n
Spain\u2019s government attempted to act tough, as if they had everything under control, but Ballester adds: \u201cAfter this disaster, how can anyone believe that 49,000 people were dispersed the very next day? \u2018Move along, nothing happened,\u2019 that\u2019s the line the government is trying to make us swallow.\u201d And there is nothing preventing yet another rush on the border from happening again.<\/div>\n
And again.<\/div>\n
Meanwhile, in the U.S., we suffered under a four-year Ceuta-like border crisis under Joe Biden. Upon returning to office, Donald Trump quickly ended that crisis, secured the border, and began deporting illegal aliens rather than rewarding and inviting them in. However, in spite of the lesson of the Biden Border Crisis, the 1986 amnesty, or the current Ceuta debacle, some \u2013 including those who should know better \u2013 continue to call for amnesty<\/u> for illegal aliens.<\/div>\n
And, of course, anti-borders radicals are fanatically chomping at the bit to regain power so they can dismantle border security and interior enforcement and open us up to a large-scale Ceuta, New-World-style.<\/div>\n
The sad reality is that \u2013 in spite of sudden tough talk by the likes of Mr. Sanchez \u2013 the anti-borders left sees Ceuta – or Biden-style mass illegal border rushes not as bugs, but as features.<\/div>\n
As difficult as it may be for normal Americans and Europeans to grasp it, the anti-borders extremists want<\/em> exactly what is going on. Mass migration crises are not a problem (only those who notice them and complain are!), but an opportunity to further undermine Western nation-states, abolish borders, and usher in a globalist utopia (in reality, a dystopia).<\/div>\n
Spain\u2019s far-left amnesty supporter Irene Montero<\/u> admitted just this, stating openly that it was her sincere hope that amnesty would allow the \u201creplacement\u201d of so-called \u201cfascists and racists\u201d (read: normal anti-mass-migration Europeans) with migrants.<\/div>\n
On both sides of the Atlantic, it is thus time to wake up and secure the borders. And, as loud and obnoxious as the anti-borders extremists are, we should care not one iota for their boos and criticism, for we have seen repeatedly what they cheer and support.<\/div>\n
