_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

Last week, around 60,000 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa stormed across the border into Ceuta, a Spanish territory located on the Mediterranean coast of Morocco. The sudden influx overwhelmed local authorities and turned the city into chaos, with migrants sleeping in parks, looting stores, and assaulting residents.

Many of the migrants have since returned, but the crisis prompted outrage from Europe, with many Americans drawing comparisons to migrant invasions through the US southern border.

It is a wake-up call! "Bleeding hearts" world-wide must recognize that cries of "Allah Akbar!" from some of those in the coordinated invasion means these people are NOT coming "for a better life" but are coming in a concerted effort to overrun western society--to destroy it.

A very astute observation, Cheryl! It seems the significance of it escaped the media.

This was portrayed by mainstream media as a spontaneous rush of under paid, under served men from Africa…it was not! This was a test or trial run for an upcoming invasion of southern Europe! And Spain FAILED! Military age men shouting “allu akbar” and overrunning military installations, looting businesses, and accosting citizens were prepped for this invasion, not job seeking!

People typically do not invite large groups of complete strangers, many of whom are homeless or criminals, into their home. Why should a COUNTRY have this kind of open arms policy?? You are only inviting trouble when you do. Borders exists FOR A REASON.

This reminds me of America’s open borders when thousands of illegals stormed across our southern borders during the Biden administration. Wake up America!

I wonder how many illegals would come or stay if there was no welfare?

I've been called many names online for calling out those who "rape" our society...fraudsters, illegals who pop in and out to have a baby here, etc, etc, etc. If someone came into your house and did these atrocities to you personally, then you may just change your mind about "loving your neighbor" as they so call it. My question then is: Are they loving you?? I have to allow the Lord to execute His justice on them but it doesn't mean I have to put up with this injustice. I will continue to speak up as an American as so many here today are swayed by the devil's schemes.

Most of the coverage to date does not make clear that this event occurred far from what most people would consider to be the coastline of actual Spain. But yes, by all means do remind Americans that the Democratic Party was for deeply-relaxed immigration controls, or, for short, "open borders."

Tim, I appreciate you pointing out that the Spanish coastline is segmented. But sovereignty of a nation - where the culture and laws extend - does not have to be based on a contiguous coastline. Think "Hawaii" and "Alaska." Just because the invasion did not involve the coast of the greater land mass did not make it any less Spain. After all the Spanish Supreme Court dictated the ruling about non-deportation in Spain if arriving by sea... and didn't say anything about the outer lying Spanish land as being exempt.

Radical Islam and Communism both continue to see growing global opportunities to advance and are taking advantage every way possible.

Liberal immigration policies that allow unfettered or lax immigration rules hurt local citizens and businesses. They result in what we witnessed in Cueta.

If the SD’s of the world think the Muslims will support their agenda, they will be profoundly disappointed.

"Compassionate governance" is what the left has crammed down our throats for years. That's the same philosophy that supports transgender athletes playing in women's sports, abortion, and, as in Europe, open borders. Europeans are apparently getting tired of paying the price of compassion. I just hope their rightward shift continues and influences their politics.

Allowing hordes of illegal aliens into another country defies every basic immigration rule history teaches us. The question now? Will first-world countries ever learn this lesson, including western Europe and the U.S.? Islam fails to recognize any other faith or exhibit the least bit of tolerance, liberty, LGBTQABCXYZ rights or that women are anything but property to be used and abused however Islam men and 'religious' muses deem appropriate. Tolerance for such intolerance will be the undoing of the Judeo-Christian precepts that anchor us and make us exceptional compared to the barbarians.

HAHAHA! Let Spain fall - they’re reaping what they’ve sown. Nothing new to see here. It’s the result of open borders. Duh…. Let Spain burn, they deserve it.

Islam IS the single biggest threat to Western JudeoChristian Culture there is. These are NOT immigrants, they ARE invaders! Cheryl Meyer is 100% correct .... read her post.

The main take away from this event is that controlling national borders is serious business and there are subversive entities using lack of border control to cause breakdowns in societies.

So lets just call this like it is, radical Muslim/Islamic parasites have no business being in any 1st or 2nd World Nations, period. Their stated goal is to destroy Western Civilization, so why in gods name would we allow these cultist degenerates on our soil?? They figured out they will never accomplish this in a militaristic campaign, so they've opted for infiltration from within. It's pretty simple and clear as they are making no effort to hide it any longer. The real question, as usual, is why do the supposed Powers that Be allow this radical anti-American incursion to continue when it's gotten to this point, not that it ever should have gotten this far in the first place. Why are we allowing these 3rd World fanatics to occupy space in our government and push a rhetoric, Sharia Law, in opposition to the Constitution?? These individuals/groups need to be removed from the equation, plain and simple. When is the Trump Admin. going to follow it's Oath to the American People??..

Mamby-pamby immigration laws are the quickest and surest way to bring a country to its knees. The Biden/B.O. administration knew this all too well, which is precisely why they threw our borders wide open to anyone and everyone who wished to come in. It was the treasonous and hell-bent actions of the Democrat Communist/Socialist/Islamic Party and their lapdog media empire to quite literally destroy the American way of life from the inside out.

Open borders are not compassionate for anyone, especially the citizens who actually belong to the country. Invaders are declaring war & should be treated as enemy combatants.
