Why was the migrant incursion at Ceuta, on the Spanish-Moroccan border, such a big story across the world? “About 48,000 of the up to 60,000 people who came into Ceuta from Morocco returned within a day. The European Union has spent years, and hundreds of millions of euros, on developing partnerships with Morocco on border management. Emmanuel Macron deployed mobile units to the Spanish border to strengthen controls. And frankly, when the next Ceuta happens, the left needs to think of a better response than simply being thankful they went home again.
