00:00:19.000But the current migrant crisis plaguing Spain could come to America much sooner than you think the seeds have already been planted.
00:00:25.000We'll get to the shocking footage of what can only be called an invasion, all that and much more on today's Ben Shapiro show.
00:00:38.000So, remember that time that President Joe Biden opened our southern border and let in millions of illegal immigrants?
00:00:44.000Also, remember that time that radical Muslims began flexing political power in big cities in America, ranging from Dearborn, Michigan to New York City?
00:00:53.000Because we are watching the Avengers style crossover of these two phenomena, mass migration and Muslim invasion, play out in Spain right now.
00:01:01.000And by the way, it will come to America too if the left has its way.
00:01:04.000So, yesterday, truly unbelievable tape started pouring out of a place called Ceuta.
00:01:19.000There are basically two Spanish enclaves in Morocco.
00:01:24.000Ceuta is right across the Strait of Gibraltar.
00:01:26.000Melilla is a little bit further to the east, more toward Algeria.
00:01:31.000So, to understand what's going on, you first need kind of a quick capsule history because, again, you've never heard of these places before.
00:01:37.000Ceuta was originally established under Portugal and Spain inherited it from them.
00:01:42.000Melilla was one of Many Spanish conquests on the North African coast after 1492 as part of what was called the Reconquista.
00:01:48.000It's one of the oldest continuously held European colonial territories in the world.
00:01:51.000Well, in 1912, there's conflict in Africa between France and Spain, or the possibility of conflict.
00:01:57.000And so they signed something called the Treaty of Fez, which essentially divided Morocco.
00:02:02.000Berber tribes began using guerrilla warfare to defeat Spanish forces in the area.
00:02:06.000Francisco Franco cut his teeth originally in the military by crushing Muslim rebellions in northern Africa.
00:02:12.000And Spain administered its Moroccan zone until Morocco declared independence in 1956.
00:02:16.000Spain continued to maintain its presence in Ceuta and Melilla to this day.
00:02:21.000Okay, so here's why this is all in the news.
00:02:23.000Yesterday, Reuters reported that some 2,000 to 3,000 people had crossed via water the border from Morocco into Ceuta.
00:02:31.000They went right around the land barriers and they just swam right through the water and showed up on the shore.
00:02:36.000Well, it turns out, according to the AP, again, the original number is like 2,000 to 3,000.
00:02:40.000And if you watch the footage, you're like, that's not 2,000 or 3,000 people.
00:02:43.000What was the actual number, according to the AP?
00:05:17.000One comes courtesy of the horrifyingly corrupt and terrible Spanish Prime Minister, a man named Pedro Sanchez.
00:05:21.000You remember him from lots of tape of him ripping President Trump or siding with Iran or siding with Venezuela or siding with the Palestinians.
00:05:29.000The other comes courtesy of the Supreme Court of the country.
00:05:32.000So, first, the president, back in April, According to the BBC, Spain's government approved plans to give legal status to half a million undocumented migrants, allowing them to be integrated formally into the workforce.
00:05:44.000So there are a bunch of people who illegally moved into Spain, and the Spanish government decided to legalize all of them, just a mass amnesty.
00:05:54.000Prime Minister Sanchez describes his government's decision as both an act of justice and a necessity for Spain.
00:06:00.000The government's plan offered a one year renewable residence permit to undocumented migrants, illegal immigrants, in order to be eligible.
00:06:06.000Applicants had to prove they've already spent five months living in Spain and have a clean criminal record.
00:06:10.000They have between April 16th and the end of June to apply.
00:06:13.000Sanchez said that migrants helped build the rich, open, and diverse Spain that we are and to which we aspire.
00:06:18.000Again, he just sounds like a Democrat because he is actually a socialist.
00:06:22.000The prime minister said these migrants are needed to sustain the economy and public services in a country whose population is aging.
00:06:28.000Spain has a massive demographic crisis.
00:06:32.000So they're basically halving their population over the course of a generation.
00:06:36.000He also said that it was the right course of action for a nation in which the past had seen many of its own nationals emigrate in search of better opportunities.
00:06:42.000So, again, the idea is that Western civilization is fundamentally flawed, and to Mauspain owes it to millions of people from Africa, from Muslim countries, to get in.
00:06:54.000Both the socialist and PP governments, the PP government was a sort of center right government, had implemented migrant amnesties in the past.
00:07:01.000The most recent was in 2005, when almost 600,000 people received residency under a socialist administration.
00:07:20.000Quote, the more than one million applications submitted show how necessary this recognition of rights and responsibilities was.
00:07:27.000And again, this is all part of Sanchez's open borders stance in February, 2026.
00:07:32.000Again, this is how you gain international credibility is you go after President Trump.
00:07:36.000So he had an op ed in the New York Times in February, 2026, talking about the evils of border control, essentially.
00:07:43.000He wrote, quote, MAGA style leaders may say that our country can't handle taking in so many migrants, that this is a suicidal move, the desperate act of a collapsing country, but don't let them fool you.
00:08:08.000You got to bring in vast swathes of Muslim migrants for the spiritual development of your left wing country.
00:08:15.000Sanchez said governments can buy into the zero sum thinking of the far right and retreat into isolation, scarcity, selfishness, and decline, or they can harness the very same forces that, not without difficulties, have allowed our societies to thrive for centuries.
00:08:48.000Some say we've gone too far, that we're going against the current.
00:08:53.000But I would like to ask you when did recognizing rights become something radical?
00:08:58.000When did empathy become something exceptional?
00:09:02.000Spain is, above all, a welcoming country.
00:09:05.000And this is the path we choose dignity, community, and justice.
00:09:11.000Oh, man, so many nice words for legalizing mass migration, importing literally millions of radical Muslims onto your soil, and also trying to cover up your own corruption.
00:09:21.000Because one of the reasons that Sanchez is doing this is because his administration has been plagued with massive corruption.
00:09:29.000According to the BBC, his musician brother David has gone on trial accused of influence peddling.
00:09:34.000The former socialist prime minister and Sanchez ally, a man named Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, you may remember him.
00:09:39.000He's been named in an investigation into alleged money laundering.
00:09:43.000The police have raided the socialist headquarters in Madrid as part of a probe into allegations that have been dubbed the socialist Watergate.
00:09:50.000Again, the socialist party has been under scrutiny since 2023 when Jose Luis Aballos, a former transport minister and deputy party leader, was implicated In an investigation into a network that allegedly received kickbacks from the sale of 43 million pounds worth of face max,
00:10:05.000like British pounds, during the COVID 19 pandemic.
00:10:10.000Sanchez, by the way, in an attempt to overcome his radical unpopularity, he's not particularly popular right now.
00:10:17.000Recent regional elections have ejected his party from power.
00:10:21.000He's relying on a sort of knee jerk anti Westernism and radical anti Americanism.
00:10:26.000So he pretty much openly allied with Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.
00:10:30.000During the Iran war, he's pretty much openly allied with Tehran.
00:10:33.000He's openly allied with the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, essentially.
00:10:40.000Some of that is because Spain has a very long history of anti Americanism and also anti Semitism.
00:10:46.000The anti Americanism comes from the fact that the United States removed Spain from the North American continent a long time ago, and then at the beginning of the 20th century, knocked Spain out of Cuba and the Philippines as well.
00:10:59.000But bottom line is he has been using left wing agitprop in order to attack the West.
00:11:05.000Hoping that that is going to be able to glaze over his utter incompetence, corruption, and running of the country directly into the ground.
00:11:13.000And again, Sanchez, as we'll discuss, has no problem whatsoever with radical Islam.
00:12:08.000If you've been in business for at least a year and are pulling in 20 grand a month in revenue, Apply now for up to $500,000 in same day business funding at cardiff.co slash Shapiro.
00:12:28.000Apply for up to $500,000 in same day funding at cardiff.co slash Shapiro.
00:12:33.000Okay, so there's what Sanchez was doing, which was mass amnesty.
00:12:36.000We are going to allow people to come in.
00:12:37.000If you can prove that you're here for a certain amount of time, we'll just allow you to stay forever, basically.
00:12:41.000And then the Supreme Court of Spain delivered an asinine decision in July.
00:12:46.000The Supreme Court of Spain essentially ruled there's a rule in Spain, okay, that if you arrive across the border, you can do what the United States would basically do if you arrive at the southern border right now.
00:13:04.000Well, apparently, according to the Spanish Supreme Court, that did not apply to anyone who arrives by sea.
00:13:13.000So, if you were in a boat or if you swam, then apparently you could not just throw people back into Morocco.
00:13:22.000Zineba Reboya reports the provision of Spanish immigration law authorizing immediate pushback supplies only when a migrant attempts to cross physical elements of border containment.
00:13:31.000In other words, when they try to cross a fence.
00:13:33.000The sea, by contrast, is not an element of containment.
00:13:35.000The court specifies that drones, cameras, radars, and sensors do not substitute for a physical barrier.
00:13:40.000A migrant intercepted at sea cannot be returned immediately without an individual administrative procedure.
00:13:46.000Now, originally, this was supposed to apply to people who attempted to swim like long distances.
00:13:54.000And the court basically found that you could not immediately be thrown back to Morocco.
00:14:01.000Hey, if I swim these 10 feet around the border barrier, If I swim this 200 foot distance or take a dinghy, then that means that I get to stay basically indefinitely because here is the thing.
00:14:14.000SUTA is not exactly set up for mass administration of legal immigration hearings.
00:16:09.000It turns out that empathy, empathy, and feeling and justice, they mean that you must usher into your country hundreds of thousands.
00:16:18.000Maybe millions of people who hate your civilization and are perfectly happy to take advantage of it economically until the point that they can actually destroy it.
00:16:26.000Turns out that there are lots of people who are willing to do that.
00:16:27.000So, how did the Spanish government actually respond to all of this?
00:16:31.000Well, according to Reuters, the government said that it would send 200 specialized police officers and 60 troops to reinforce Suta's regular forces.
00:16:40.000There are about 1,500 active police officers operating in Suta right now.
00:16:44.000So, that would bring the total to 1,700 police officers and 60 troops.
00:16:49.000Something like that, to handle 60,000 migrants, none of whom, by the Supreme Court's ruling, can be forcibly ejected without an administrative hearing.
00:17:00.000Pedro Sanchez put out a tweet The government of Spain is fully committed to providing an immediate response to the situation in Ceuta.
00:17:05.000We are mobilizing all necessary resources, working with Moroccan and international authorities, and preparing the necessary measures to restore normalcy as soon as possible.
00:17:13.000This is the moment to build solutions with responsibility and cooperation.
00:17:22.000The Spanish Ministry of the Interior put out a press release saying that Morocco and Spain have agreed to strengthen coordination and efforts to address these flows and have committed to reviewing and implementing measures for the handover as soon as possible of all people who have entered Ceuta illegally.
00:17:36.000But how are they going to do that legally?
00:17:51.000Again, it's just more evidence of a total invasion of their country by mass migrants who then serve as a hook and ladder system For a massive Muslim migration to the country, because the laws in Spain with regard to family reunification are really, really easy.
00:18:04.000You want to know why it's a bunch of 18 year old guys who are crossing, 21, 25 year old guys?
00:18:07.000They cross over, they stay as migrants, eventually they get amnesty, and then they bring their entire family.
00:18:13.000Here are Spaniards protesting at the Suta government delegation and shouting at Pedro Sanchez.
00:19:06.000Who, again, has been very anti mass migration.
00:19:08.000She put out a statement The images coming from Suta are striking and demonstrate once again that uncontrolled illegal immigration poses a concrete threat to the security of Europe's borders.
00:19:20.000And following these meetings, we are prepared to intervene with extraordinary measures to defend the borders and the safety of citizens, including the suspension of the Schengen area with Spain.
00:19:27.000The Schengen area is an EU ruling that says, it's an EU regulation that says, freedom of travel between all countries.
00:19:33.000So they're saying, no, no, no, we're not going to do that anymore because we don't want a bunch of Muslim migrants entering Italy.
00:19:38.000She says, an illegal immigration will not yield an inch.
00:19:41.000Defending the borders, stopping human traffickers, and ensuring effective repatriations will continue to be the line of this government.
00:19:47.000Now, of course, this is not just a mass migration threat, it is a mass migration threat of a particular ideology.
00:19:53.000The thing you need to understand about Spain is that, according to many Muslims, including all radical Muslims, Spain remains Dar al Islam.
00:20:04.000Because in 711, the Berber Muslim army crossed from North Africa and defeated the Visigothic king.
00:20:10.000And within seven years, Muslim forces had conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula, including Spain, Portugal, and France.
00:20:15.000They were only halted when defeated by the Franks in 732.
00:20:18.000Again, this was part of the gigantic Islamic invasion of Europe that swallowed up also huge swaths of the Middle East, which had heretofore been Christian, North Africa, which had been Christian.
00:20:30.000The Islamic Empire ruled the area essentially from India all the way out to the Atlantic Ocean.
00:20:38.000Enormous, enormous Islamic Empire during this period.
00:20:43.000And Muslims, religious, radical Muslims, remain committed to the Reconquista, right?
00:20:53.000Because it turns out, of course, that the Spanish eventually were able to expel Muslim invaders from the peninsula.
00:21:00.000Toledo was restored to Christians in 1084, Central Iberia in 1212.
00:21:05.000Granada fell to Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492.
00:21:08.000The Reconquista was the Catholic monarchs pushing out the Muslim population, the Moors.
00:21:15.000By 1609, Spain ordered the expulsion of the entire population of what they called the Moriscos to North Africa.
00:21:21.000The Moriscos would be anyone who is suspected of only nominally converting to Christianity.
00:21:25.000But, bottom line again, for Muslims, Spain is a place that needs to be reconquered.
00:21:30.000Al Qaeda, ISIS leaders, they talk about this regularly.
00:21:33.000And Muslims are happy to do this through migration alone.
00:21:36.000In the last decade, Spain's Muslim population has grown, in the last three decades, actually, from about 250,000 in the early 90s.
00:21:46.000To 2.5 million people by a factor of 10 by 2025, 2026.
00:21:53.000Since 2007 alone, the population of Muslims has increased by 1.5 million from 2.2% of the population to about 5% of the total population.
00:22:02.000A million Muslims now hold Spanish citizenship.
00:22:06.000Those are comprised of naturalized citizens and second or third generation individuals born in Spain.
00:22:10.000Most of them come from Morocco, but there are also communities coming from Pakistan, Senegal, Algeria, Bangladesh.
00:22:17.000And they're heavily located in certain regions like Catalonia, Andalusia, Madrid, and the Valencian community.
00:22:25.000And again, most of these people are coming through economic migration and then they are chain migrating.
00:22:30.000And they're replacing the Spanish population, which, as I said, is not reproducing.
00:22:34.000The reproduction rate among Muslims is about three times the reproduction rate among Spanish natives.
00:22:40.000About 11% of all babies born in Spain, like one in nine births, was to a Muslim parent.
00:22:48.000So, what you have seen is a gigantic expansion of Muslim presence on Spanish soil.
00:22:54.000Foreign born Muslims now account for about 8% of all men aged 20 to 44 in Spain.
00:23:00.000And as the population ages, it's going to be a larger proportion.
00:23:04.000This has some pretty serious consequences in Spain, as it has across Europe in places ranging from Sweden to France.
00:23:09.000All right, coming up, it turns out that when you import a bunch of third world people who are also radically Muslim, you might have a bit of a crime problem.
00:24:01.000If it's not right, they will make it right.
00:24:02.000It's the most awarded mattress brand on the market.

00:24:22.000According to the European Conservative, Barcelona police arrested about 20,000, 21,000 people in 2024.
00:24:28.000About 80% of them were foreign nationals, according to an official report obtained by the Vox Party, which is sort of the conservative opposition.
00:24:35.000There's the PP, which is the People's Party, sort of center, center right group, and the Vox Party, which is Characterized as far right, but it's just a normal sort of right wing conservative party.
00:24:45.000The report, which was issued by Catalonia's regional directorate of police, showed the city's police arrested 21,808 people in 2024.
00:25:00.000There were about 4,500 cases of theft.
00:25:03.000Almost 5,000 of them involved foreigners.
00:25:06.000In sexual assault cases, 73% were foreign nationals.
00:25:09.000Again, none of this is a shock at all.
00:25:12.000And a huge number of the people who, of course, have trafficked, have been moved across the border, have been moved across the border by trafficking transnational mafias, where sub Saharan men work as vendors in public spaces
00:26:37.000Here's Pedro Sanchez recognizing a state of Palestine.
00:26:40.000Well, I think he honestly, number one, he used to recognize Catalonia as its own state, a Catalan state.
00:26:46.000But beyond that, it seems to me that in order to repatriate All of the descendants of the Muslims who were expelled back in 1492.
00:26:54.000The Spanish government really ought to do the right thing and they ought to welcome in all the descendants of all the Muslims who were expelled in 1492.
00:27:19.000I would like to inform you that at the meeting of the Council of Ministers that will be held today, The government of Spain will approve the official recognition of Palestine as a state.
00:27:30.000With this decision, Spain joins the more than 140 countries that already recognize Palestine.
00:27:38.000This is a historic decision that has a single goal to contribute to achieving peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
00:30:01.000The reason they're doing that, the reason they are getting worried, is because when this innocent woman is stabbed 30 times, the guy is yelling, Allah is great, he's yelling, Allah Akbar, right?
00:30:12.000So people see that and they get worried, okay?
00:30:41.000A huge portion of this was exacerbated in the mid 2010s when, of course, you remember German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who wrecked Germany, decided to open the door wide to mass Muslim migration from Syria.
00:30:58.000Europe as a whole must move and its states must share their responsibility for refugees seeking asylum.
00:31:04.000Universal civil rights were so far tied together with Europe and its history.
