President Trump warned the storming of a small Spanish enclave by tens of thousands of migrants would look “small time” compared to what happens in the US if voters pick open-border Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections.
Speaking at Camp David Friday, the president called the sudden mass migration into Ceuta a “catastrophe,” and said the harrowing footage showing the lawlessness breaking out at the Moroccan border “looks like an invasion.”
No sooner had the migrants breached the border than some started bathing in city fountains and using city streets as their own personal toilets.
“And that same thing is going to happen to us if the Republicans don’t get elected, except worse. Much bigger, much easier to get into, despite the fact that we have built thousands of miles of wall, which I said we were going to do,” Trump told reporters.
“We have the safest border in the world. If we’re not in office, our country will be invaded at levels that made Spain look small time.”
The shocking surge followed a ruling by Spain’s Supreme Court earlier this month which said migrants intercepted at sea while attempting to reach Ceuta or Melilla, another autonomous Spanish city in northern Morocco, cannot be immediately deported.
The socialist Spanish government just months ago also launched a program giving legal status to some 500,000 illegal immigrants in the country.
Trump blasted Spain’s government for these new policies, deriding them as “bad management” and “weak,” “very liberal” laws. --->READ MORE HERE

Trump says scenes of migrants from Morocco entering Spain looked like 'invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people'
President Donald Trump said Friday during a Cabinet meeting that scenes of migrants flooding into Spain's enclave of Ceuta from Morocco looked like a "catastrophe," but that the U.S. could see worse in the future if Democrats regain power.
"You know, I saw Spain yesterday, and I watched the catastrophe that took place. It looks like an invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people. And that same thing is going to happen to us if the Republicans don't get elected," Trump said Friday at Camp David. "Except worse, much bigger, much easier to get into. Despite the fact that we have built thousands of miles of wall, which I said we were going to do. But if we didn't have that, forget it. But we have the safest border in the world. If we're not in office, our country will be invaded at levels that made Spain look small time."
"And when I watched it, I said, boy, I said, ‘I'm going to say it because I knew you were going to be at Camp David.’ And I say, ‘That's going to be a talking point for the midterms, because when you look at what happened to Spain, they don't know what to do.’ And it's happening again today," the president continued. "They're coming in by the tens of thousands. It’s just invading the country. And what that is weak law, bad management, but very liberal law. They passed a couple of laws and people read, you know, people are smart. They read from other countries, and they swam that three-mile swim or however they got in."
"But nobody's seen anything like it. That will look good compared to what's going to happen to the United States," Trump also said. "The biggest thing, the worst thing that Biden did is allowing 25 million people into our country, because many of those people are criminals. They're murderers," Trump also said. "A lot of them are gone now. We got them out. But they allowed people to come into this country that you can't allow to come into a country."
Trump made similar comments to Fox News' Jacqui Heinrich earlier Friday morning.
"It’s terrible. Remember that picture. That’s going to be us in three years if the wrong side gets in," Trump said.
"If the Democrats get in, you will not live a very good life," he warned.
U.S. border security has remained a key plank of the president's campaign and policy focus throughout his political career.
An English translation of a Friday Spanish-language post on X from Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said, "The Government will guarantee the safety of the residents of Ceuta, intensifying the presence of the Security Forces and Corps on the city's streets." The post also included a video of him delivering remarks in Spanish. --->READ MORE HERE
