Spanish woman trembles in fear, pleads for help while surrounded by illegal migrants

A Spanish woman trembled with fear as she pleaded for help in a local news segment.

Jaw-dropping scenes have shown swarms of what appears to be mostly, if not all, military-age Moroccan men pouring into Ceuta, Spain, by the tens of thousands in a matter of hours.

Spain has deployed its military to Ceuta, a Spanish territory on the North African coast, as the number of illegal migrants is estimated to be at 50,000 and rising. Ceuta has a population of 85,000.

It’s no wonder then that a young Spanish woman filmed by local news broke down in tears and sounded absolutely panicked while surrounded by a mob of migrants.

“I’m scared, I’m surrounded and trembling,” she said. “We need help.”

“It’s catastrophic. Today it’s Ceuta, but tomorrow it’ll be the Canary Islands or Tarifa.”

Troubling videos have been flooding social media while the situation has been widely described as “absolute chaos.” Residents are afraid to leave their homes, and many businesses have been closed, according to widespread reports.

Many blame Spain’s leftist government for the migrant surge. Earlier this month, Spain’s Supreme Court ruled to protect migrants stopped at sea while trying to reach Ceuta or Melilla, a similar Spanish enclave in Northern Morocco.

There had reportedly been a “slow trickle” of migrants since the ruling until the “explosion,” according to Reuters.

More migrants are on the move as they head for Melilla:

“It’s terrible. Remember that picture. That’s going to be us in three years if the wrong side gets in,” President Trump told Fox News while seeing footage.

“If the Democrats get in, you will not live a very good life.”

Vice President Trump also weighed in on the situation, crediting the president for his leadership over America’s borders:
