Trump Links Biden's Border Policy to Ceuta Migration Event

Former U.S. President Donald Trump drew a parallel between the current border situation under President Joe Biden and recent migration events in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Speaking at an event in Nassau County, Long Island, Trump asserted that his own administration daily contended with massive irregular migration flows, which he claimed were worse than the situation reported in Ceuta.

"You saw it the other day in Spain, right? Now imagine: they let in 65,000 people. Remember: 25 million people, we were worse. It was like this every day in our country, for months and months," Trump told attendees. The Republican leader focused his remarks on crime and public safety, using the Ceuta incident as a point of contrast to criticize the previous administration's border policies.

Trump directly blamed former Vice President Kamala Harris for the influx of undocumented immigrants. He also reaffirmed his current administration's authority to deport individuals in irregular migratory situations. The visit to New York also served as a platform for Trump to endorse Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican running for governor against incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul.

During the event, Trump introduced Blakeman as a strong proponent of law and order. He also criticized New York's judicial policies, including bail reforms that allow pre-trial release for those accused of minor offenses.
