Ceuta Migrant Crisis, Spanish Court Rulings and EU Borders
Thousands of migrants swam from Morocco to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta following a court ruling that prohibited the automatic return of those arriving by sea. The influx of approximately 60,000 people in a single day overwhelmed the local population of 80,000, prompting Spain to deploy the military. The hosts compare the situation to the U.S. southern border, noting the prevalence of military-age males and the role of social media in spreading "open door" misinformation.
