Victor Davis Hanson: Spain Is Overrun by Migrants

Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of the latest edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” from Daily Signal senior contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to Victor Davis Hanson’s own YouTube channel to watch past episodes.

Jack Fowler: This from the New York Post the other day: “Thousands of illegal African immigrants overrun Spanish enclave, turn streets into open toilets, bathe in fountains.” 

Sixty thousand illegal immigrants from Africa flooded the Spanish enclave of Ceuta—I’m not sure if I said that properly—prompting Spain to deploy its military as terrified locals likened the invasion to an apocalypse. 

Ceuta is located on the North African coast, and I just want to see some of the reaction. I’m looking at headlines from The Brussels Signal, which is an English-language center-right news source. 

Here’s the reaction from the rest of Europe: 

Von der Leyen, the head of the EU, demands an immediate halt to the crossings and swift returns.

Sweden tells Spain to regain control of Ceuta and warns it is ready to act. 

France deploys a rapid border force and tightens checks at the Spanish border over the Ceuta crossings. 

The Netherlands tells Spain to protect the EU’s external border after the crossings, etc., etc. 

Victor Davis Hanson: My gosh—they’re border hawks. How illiberal. 

Fowler: Yeah, I know, right? 

So, your thoughts on this massive overnight invasion? 

Hanson: Well, in 1973, a member of the French Academy, Jean Raspail, wrote “The Camp of the Saints.” Everybody said he was a racist because it was a fictional novel about an announcement that France was going to allow anybody to come in who wanted to. Then this whole army from impoverished lands on the Indian subcontinent arrives, takes over, and starts demanding religious and political concessions from the French. 

Everybody said he was a racist.........
