Migrants Invaded Ceuta Because A Court Encouraged Them. SCOTUS Just Did The Same Here– thefederalist.com

Some 60,000 tough young men from Morocco suddenly arrived in a small autonomous Spanish city located in northern Africa, many carrying cell phones in plastic bags to protect them from the water they crossed by inner tubes and swimming. This group of migrants is greater than the population of 95 percent of American cities and towns.

A recent pro-immigration ruling by the Tribunal Supremo, the Supreme Court of Spain, sparked this invasion, creating a lesson for our crisis of illegal immigrants in the United States. A week after our own Supreme Court’s disastrous decision in favor of illegals getting birthright citizenship, Spain’s Supreme Court ruled that migrants captured at sea cannot be immediately returned to their native country, known as a “pushback.”

Spanish Territorial Policy Minister Ángel Víctor Torres referred to the ruling as a factor contributing to unlawful invasion. He also said legal experts think the decision will allow eventual deportation of these illegal immigrants, but only after time-consuming legal processes are provided to each of the invading migrants.

The language of Morocco is Arabic. But Spanish is the language of the two Spanish territories bordering Morocco in northern Africa, named Ceuta and Melilla, such that many of the migrants cannot communicate with local officials. Ceuta is located on the African side of the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea, and residents receive their food via the 30- to 60-minute ferry ride from Spain. Melilla is located 250 miles eastward on the Mediterranean coast.
