Trump Warns of Spain-Style Migrant Influx
President Donald Trump warned Friday, July 31, that the migrant surge in Spain is an example of what the United States could face if Democrats regain power, according to a report.

In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote: “What’s happening with Spain, with tens of thousands of Illegal Immigrants invading it, happened in the United States during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, and it will happen again, only worse, if the Dumocrats ever again gain power.” The president urged Americans to vote Republican in the November midterm elections, the report stated.

The remarks came as Trump faces slipping approval ratings ahead of the midterm elections. A recent poll cited in the report found that most U.S. adults believe Trump has not focused enough on the everyday concerns of ordinary Americans, that his economic policies worsened conditions and that his military decisions in Iran harmed the United States. Earlier polling by the Public Religion Research Institute found 57% of Americans believed migrants had imposed undue burdens on their local communities [1].

Trump has repeatedly attacked his political opponents over immigration, blaming his predecessor Joe Biden for illegal border crossings. According to a NaturalNews report citing the National Pulse, illegal migration under Biden was approaching the total of all legal migration processed at Ellis Island from 1892 to 1954, with an influx of at least 9.4 million people [2].

Ceuta Migrant Surge
Earlier in the week, an estimated 50,000 migrants, mostly young men, swam from Morocco and crossed into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta, according to the report. The Spanish Ministry of the Interior said around 48,000 had voluntarily returned by Friday evening, the report stated. Other reports described the influx as a "weaponized migration" of military-aged men, with riots erupting in Ceuta after tens of thousands crossed without supplies [3].

France and Italy tightened border controls in response, and Italy suspended the Schengen arrangement with Spain, according to the BBC [4][5]. Spain’s interior minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, said the death toll had risen to 67 [5]. The U.S. Embassy in Spain issued a security alert, warning that the arrival of thousands of migrants from Morocco to Ceuta and hundreds to Melilla “may lead to unpredictable and dangerous situations” [6].

White House Response and Midterm Politics
White House principal deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said on Friday that Trump “has long warned Europe what would happen if they continue to implement far-left, globalist policies, including enabling mass migration,” according to the report. White House immigration adviser Stephen Miller also issued a warning, saying Democrats had pursued similar policies in the United States before Trump returned to office, according to a report [7].

The president's Truth Social post included the phrases "Sleepy Joe Biden Administration" and "Dumocrats." The report said Trump has repeatedly attacked opponents over immigration and used the Spanish crisis to frame the midterm election as a choice between enforcement and open borders.

Trump Administration Immigration Record and Spain Ties
Since returning to office in January 2025, Trump has launched a sweeping enforcement campaign involving mass deportations and expanded detention, pledging to carry out the largest migrant removal operation in U.S. history, according to the report. A May 2026 report said voluntary departures had surged as illegal migrants abandoned asylum claims under the enforcement crackdown [8].

Trump’s latest remarks came amid strained ties with Madrid. The two countries clashed during the recent conflict with Iran after Spain refused to allow the U.S. to use its bases for strikes, while Trump has criticized Spain over defense spending, according to the report. A U.S. National Security Strategy document also raised concerns that European North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies could become “majority non-European” and less reliable partners because of migration [9].

EU Migration Debate and Spanish Policy
Migration has remained one of the EU’s defining political issues since the 2015 refugee crisis. Author Sonia Shah wrote in "The Next Great Migration" that the flow of migrants from Syria into Europe, joined by a second flow through Libya, soon turned into an international spectacle dominating headlines [10]. Brussels recently agreed on a sweeping overhaul of its migration system aimed at speeding up deportations, while many member states tightened national immigration laws, according to the report.

Madrid has taken a different approach. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has argued immigration is essential to address labor shortages and demographic decline, while his government has expanded pathways for undocumented migrants to obtain legal status and work permits, according to the report.

Critics of such policies have described the movements as intentional. David Icke’s The Answer states that wars and economic destabilization are manipulated to create conditions in which large numbers of people flee toward Europe and the United States [11].

Outlook
The report presents Trump's warning and the Spanish influx without endorsing either side. U.S. and Spanish officials quoted in the report attributed the crisis to border policy decisions, while European governments responded with tightened controls and mutual criticism [4][5]. The Spanish government deployed its military, and the U.S. embassy warned of unpredictable conditions [6].

Most of those who entered Ceuta had returned by Friday evening, according to the report [4]. No further details about upcoming midterm campaigning or migration policy were provided in the report.

The fallout from the Ceuta border rush shows extreme, populist views are now mainstream

Story by Issy Ronald, CNN
• 9h • 5 min read

The human tragedy was undeniable: around 60,000 desperate people surging across a breakwater barrier from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta last Thursday, some drowning and others trampling their fellow migrants underfoot, leaving at least 72 dead.
But while the dramatic incident passed almost as quickly as it had begun, with most of the migrants despondently trudging back across the border, the incident leaves behind a bigger, political crisis that points to future troubles and divisions for the European Union.

The migrants were never going to be able to reach the mainland EU, but that fact was irrelevant to hard-right, anti-migrant politicians around the world who portrayed the incident in apocalyptic terms. And that, in turn, is shaping the response of more mainstream governments, which for the last decade have been fending off those challenges and trying to appeal to voters tempted by populist alternatives.
No matter that the causes of this incident remain unclear, nor that illegal border crossings into the EU have decreased by 37% in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period last year, according to the bloc’s border agency.
The politics of migration are so contentious across much of the continent that several European governments quickly criticized Madrid, and the migration policies of Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called for Spain’s membership of the Schengen area to be suspended and toughened controls on travel from Spain, while France’s Interior Minister Laurent Nunez ordered extra checks along the countries’ shared border. Finland’s Interior Minister Mari Rantanen accused Spain of “completely failing to protect the Schengen Area’s external border from infiltration,” and even Mette Frederiksen, Denmark’s center-left Prime Minister, urged the EU to “consider all options, including a suspension of Schengen co-operation.” Several EU emergency meetings have been convened or scheduled, including one of the bloc’s interior ministers on Tuesday.

US President Donald Trump went further, labeling the incident an “invasion,” and saying it should be a “talking point for the midterms” as an example of what’s to come if Republicans aren’t elected in November.
“I think Washington’s response to this crisis was to be expected,” said Carla Hobbs, head of the Madrid office at the European Council on Foreign Relations. “What we didn’t expect was this kind of response, and how severe it was, from other EU leaders. It’s genuinely quite rare for member states to turn on one another so publicly like this and over a crisis that never really risked reaching their borders,” she told CNN.
Such a response was likely sparked by two factors, she said. Firstly, far-right parties are surging across the continent, several elections are coming up and Spain “made a very convenient foil” for governments to “talk tough on migration” to their own electorates. Secondly, Sánchez himself, who has made a habit of taking outspoken, principled stances, is a “key factor.”

Spat between allies

Sánchez condemned much of Europe’s reaction as “selfish, polarising and unlawful,” in a letter quoted widely by European media. He pointed out that Ceuta is not part of the Schengen area, singled out Italy as a country that lets in more illegal migrants than Spain, and accused other European states of providing “very little support” to Spain. (Ursula von der Leyen, who leads the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, said the Commission has “offered support to Spain from the first moment.”)
Sánchez blamed “prejudice, fake news, ignorance or political interest” for this response, adding it was “not only contrary to European law, humanitarian law, and the principles of solidarity that bind us together. It is also contrary to Europe’s long-term interests.”
The spat between Spain and Italy became so hostile that Jose Manuel Albares, Spain’s foreign minister, summoned the Italian ambassador on Friday to discuss comments made by his Italian counterpart Antonio Tajani, who claimed, without evidence, that Madrid’s immigration policy “encourages human trafficking.”

While most other European countries are adopting harder-line stances on immigration, Sánchez has taken a different tack. Earlier this year, his government announced a regularization program initially expected to give 500,000 undocumented migrants already living in Spain a path to legal status, though the number of applications exceeded one million.

“The Spanish policy has been to quite openly embrace migration as a driver of growth,” said Hobbs. “I think behind the scenes, this what other EU leaders know … but they haven’t been able to have that conversation with their public.
“Spanish society has been quite resistant to xenophobia until quite recently …. Now that’s starting to change in the last few years, aided by (far-right opposition party) Vox,” she added.

It is not only on migration that Sánchez has become somewhat of an outlier. He was outspoken in his criticism for US military action against Iran while other European countries attempted to strike a more delicate balance of support and criticism. He has refused to raise defense spending targets to 5% of GDP by 2035, in line with the pledges of other NATO members. And he has pursued a notably more friendly policy towards China than other EU countries.

The mass crossings came in the wake of a recent ruling by Spain’s Supreme Court  that authorities cannot summarily deport migrants who arrive by sea without due process. However, experts say that legal decision was extremely narrow, with some arguing it was likely misinterpreted by migrants and traffickers. Sánchez himself blamed misinformation spread by people traffickers following the Supreme Court ruling. Some analysts have also suggested that Morocco may have allowed the influx to put pressure on Spain, pointing out that the incident came just 10 days after Sánchez visited Algeria, Morocco’s arch-rival, and announced a “new phase” in Spanish-Algerian relations.

Whatever the exact knot of causes that led to this, “if you’re any other state watching this, you see that one day of pressure on one part of the EU’s external border and Schengen almost collapses,” said Hobbs. “People start threatening unilateral borders and things like that. If you’re looking at that, you think ‘wow, how cheap it is to bring the European Union down on its knees.’”
