Trump says mass migrant arrivals in Spain's Ceuta 'like an invasion'

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday likened the influx of tens of thousands migrants into Spain's Ceuta enclave in north Africa to "an invasion" -- warning that Americans risk a similar crisis on their own shores.

"I saw Spain yesterday, and I watched the catastrophe that took place," he told a meeting of his cabinet at the presidential Camp David retreat in Maryland. "It looks like an invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people, and that same thing's going to happen to us if the Republicans don't get elected, except worse, much bigger."
