5 min readSpain’s Migrant Crisis as a Warning for the West
On a single day in May 2026, somewhere between 2,000 and 60,000 migrants—almost entirely young men from North Africa—swam or took small boats around the border barriers of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on the coast of Morocco, and flooded into the city. The total permanent population of Ceuta is 84,000. The AP reported at least 34 people died in the crossing. Video footage shows what Ben Shapiro calls “a stadium full of humans” running through the streets while Spanish authorities open gates to let them in, and migrants chant “Allahu Akbar” as they storm into private homes. The scenes are not from some dystopian film; they are the direct result of two specific policy decisions by the Spanish government, and Shapiro argues they represent a blueprint for what could happen in the United States within a few election cycles.

What you'll learn
- 1 (02:08) **Migrant Wave in Spain as a Warning for America** - Shapiro introduces the episode's central thesis: the mass migration crisis in Spain, specifically the Muslim migrant wave, is a preview of what could happen in the U.S. under left-wing policies.
- 2 (03:19) **The Ceuta Crisis: 60,000 Migrants Flood an 84,000-Person City** - Shapiro describes the scale of the migrant surge into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, citing reports of 60,000 people crossing in a single day.
- 3 (07:22) **Two Causes: Prime Minister Sanchez's Amnesty and the Supreme Court Ruling** - Shapiro identifies the two key drivers of the crisis: a mass amnesty policy and a judicial ruling that blocks immediate deportations.
- 4 (14:48) **The Supreme Court's "Asinine" Decision and Its Consequences** - Shapiro details the practical implications of the court ruling, which has paralyzed border enforcement in Ceuta.
- 5 (18:42) **The Spanish Government's Inadequate Response** - Shapiro criticizes the Spanish government's plan to send only 200 police officers and 60 troops to handle 60,000 migrants.
- 6 (22:04) **The Ideological Dimension: The Islamic Claim to Spain (Al-Andalus)** - Shapiro connects the migration to the Islamic concept of Spain as "Dar al Islam" (land of Islam) and the historical Reconquista.
