The White House bashed Spain's left-wing government after the border between Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta and Morocco collapsed Thursday.
"President Trump has long warned Europe what would happen if they continue to implement far-left, globalist policies, including enabling mass migration," White House principal deputy press secretary Anna Kelly told Fox News in a statement.
"Spain and other countries who have adopted this destructive philosophy should immediately reverse course or risk their own demise."
Ceuta's president formally requested a national emergency declaration Thursday after more than 2,000 migrants crossed the border from Morocco in the past 10 days. Videos showed chaotic scenes of migrants pouring into the Spanish territory.
Video shows hordes of apparently military-aged men smiling and posing for cameras, some carrying swimming flippers, and sprinting through the streets as authorities struggle to corral the unruly masses.
