Did Spain Go Full Trump to End the Ceuta Mass Migration Crisis?

The great Ceuta mass migration crisis—during which a human tsunami of 72,000 North Africans swamped the Spanish enclave on the Moroccan coast on July 30 and 31—could easily have lasted for months. However, it is all over but for some mopping up.

Few if any more are coming or adding to the death toll of 75. Most of those who crashed the European Union’s gates at Spain’s Ceuta are back in Morocco. A few thousand migrants remain who are generally harder to return under Spanish/European Union rules—such as sub-Saharan Africans and unaccompanied minors.  

But it is no coincidence that the Spanish-Moroccan border is as quiet as President Donald Trump made the U.S.-Mexico border on about his first day in office.

Spain’s socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez remains unapologetically supportive of illegal immigration and an open-borders advocate. But for one moment, when he was caught in the clinch of a humanitarian and political emergency in front of television cameras, Sanchez appears to have torn a page from the Trump border playbook.

By independent media accounts, Sanchez quickly militarized the Ceuta marine border, provided little if any food or shelter, and oversaw the expeditious expulsion of most of the 72,000 who flooded the Spanish territory.

Sanchez will no doubt return to his true open borders colors soon. But the Trump method that ended the Ceuta crisis offers lessons that are crucial to understand—as is how Sanchez and his United States Socialist brethren always start such crises.
