Open borders policies work.

Spain’s radical leftist government, currently facing multiple corruption investigations, has set out to swamp the country with Muslim mass migration, winning the praise of the media and Pope Leo, and the migrants swarming to its shores. In the latest disaster, Spain’s Supreme Court ruled that Muslim migrants can’t be sent back home if they arrive by sea. And guess what they went and did?
A recent judicial ruling by Spain’s Supreme Court determined that foreign nationals attempting to enter Ceuta and Melilla by sea may not be returned to Morocco. Magistrates ruled that irregular arrivals can only be arrested if established border barriers – such as fences – are breached.
And the Muslim migrants came in vast numbers.
The mass arrival of irregular migrants on the shores of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta has reached a tipping point, with local authorities warning of a “state of collapse”.
Last week, 1,500 migrants arrived at the city’s shores. With a population of just 84,000, Ceuta’s reception services have been overwhelmed. Wednesday alone saw more than 800 people attempt to swim to Ceuta – a dangerous stretch of water of a few kilometres which has cost many of their lives.
In a radio interview with Onda Cero on Thursday, the city’s mayor Juan Jesús Vivas likened it to “one million people were entering Spain irregularly.”
Migrants broke through the fences into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco on July 30 after overwhelming police at the city’s breakwater, Spain’s Guardia Civil police said.
Video footage showed some migrants swimming over from the Moroccan side using inflatable inner tubes and other flotation devices, and others breaking through a gate in the fence and running into the city.
The scene was reminiscent of the crossing that occurred in May 2021, when some 10,000 people from Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa entered the enclave in days.
Of course the radical open borders regime insists there’s no emergency.
The interior ministry told Euractiv it “is not possible” to declare a national state of emergency since Spanish law does not classify migration flows as a risk under the National Civil Protection System”.
It’s a national emergency, but a political opportunity. This is the plan.
