Spanish Police Federation Calls for Urgent Action as Madrid Airport Saturated with Migrants After Spike in Mauritanian Nationals
Madrid airport is running out of space in the designated holding areas for illegal migrants due to a surge in newcomers in recent weeks, the Spanish Police Federation (CEP) has warned.
The organization cited a large number of Mauritanian nationals leaving Morocco as a challenge currently facing border staff. Apparently, many undocumented migrants are landing in Spain, throwing away their passports, and claiming asylum.
Spanish police said the situation had started to become worrying at the end of June when arrivals of Mauritanians increased by 350 percent compared to the previous month.
They added that most of the arrivals are men under the age of 30. There are also some who claim to be minors, hoping that this will speed up the processing of their asylum applications.
The police union is asking the Spanish interior ministry to resolve the situation immediately, as between 140 and 170 illegal immigrants are currently arriving in at Barajas Airport every day and waiting in the reception rooms.
The authority is also demanding that the Spanish government take action to ensure that the flights on which these people arrive comply with the rules regarding security checks; this is demonstrably not happening, as most Africans do not even have transit visas without which they should not have been able to depart.
Police officers at the airport believe that the Mauritanian flights are as much the work of a migrant mafia as the open water entries, with the Canary Islands as the primary destination.
“Both the Home Office and the Foreign Office, as well as the European Union, need to take urgent action to stop the influx of illegal migrants before it becomes a more serious problem,” the police federation wrote in a statement.
“The system for asylum seekers at airports must be prevented from collapsing,” it added.

Germany Considers Reform to Publishing Nationalities of Criminals Amid Spike in Migrant Crime
Germany’s liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP), the smallest party in the governing coalition, is proposing that law enforcement authorities should be obliged to disclose the nationality of suspected criminals throughout the country.
The initiative has been endorsed by the opposition CDU/CSU, while the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD), although supportive of it in theory, believes it does not go far enough.
According to the FDP, the initiative aims to ensure “transparency and credibility,” adding that in the wake of the 2015/2016 refugee crisis and the subsequent rise in foreign crime in Germany, there have been various questions regarding how to achieve this. For example, at which stage of the investigation should the nationality of suspects be formally declared, which cases may demand greater transparency, and what should be done when there is a greater risk that disclosure of the suspect’s citizenship will lead to general prejudice?
According to Die Welt newspaper, the FDP and the parliamentary group of the conservative CDU/CSU coalition are calling for a uniform approach by law enforcement authorities nationwide, including mandatory disclosure.
In an interview with the newspaper, FDP Secretary-General Bijan Djir-Sarai argued that this would increase public confidence in law enforcement agencies. According to him, people should have confidence that politicians “take the problem of foreign crime seriously.”
While the left-wing SPD, the largest party in the three-party governing coalition, has not yet taken a position on the initiative, the Green Party has rejected it, saying it would deprive authorities of the discretion they need to do their job successfully.
The AfD, which has been the most vocal in the fight against illegal immigration, has, on the other hand, “slammed” the FDP’s proposal, to the extent that the party believes that it is not enough to disclose nationality, but that the migration background of suspects, convicts and detainees should also be made public.
Trump Pledges to Cut Federal Funding for Schools Pushing Critical Race Theory and Trans ‘Insanity’
(LifeSiteNews) — Former President Donald Trump has pledged to “cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory” and “transgender insanity” in an executive order on his first day as president if elected in November.
Trump further vowed to cut federal funding to schools imposing any “other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children” in a video statement directed to the parental rights group Moms for Liberty, shared to X on August 6.
Critical race theory, which teaches that racism is built into Western social institutions and that individuals are inherently racist or oppressive by virtue of their race, color or sex, has been increasingly taught in schools to students of all ages, including in teacher training programs. Critics rebuke the ideology for being deeply divisive and even promoting racism, to the point that the ostensibly “privileged” are themselves excluded from work opportunities, for example, on the basis of race and sex.
Schools have also been increasingly under fire for pushing pro-homosexual celebrations and content on inappropriately young children and for carrying pornographic books, which has prompted laws such as the Parental Rights in Education Act in Florida.
“Together we’re on a mission to take back our schools from the Marxists and Communists and the radical-left maniacs who are hellbent on indoctrinating our children,” Trump said in his video address.
“We will move education back to the states – we’re closing it up in Washington – and return everything back to the parents. It will be parental control,” he continued.
Trump also pledged to “eliminate all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across the entire federal government,” and to “direct the DOJ to pursue civil rights claims against any school or university that engages in racism rather than making decisions based on merit.”
Diversity training has “exploded” in the federal government since President Joe Biden took office in 2020, the Beacon noted, with all federal agencies now mandating a form of DEI training. DEI policies, an outgrowth of critical race theory, have long been widely denounced by conservatives and moderates not only as divisive but for undermining the competence and most basic functioning of public institutions and private corporations.
This crisis of competence has extended to universities, with internal data showing that more than half of the medical students at the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) admitted since 2020 fail standardized tests for basic medical knowledge. Insiders have blamed the underperformance on affirmative action policies, with one member of the admissions committee sharing that the standards for minority groups deemed “underrepresented” are “as low as you could possibly imagine.”
In the video address, the former president declared that he would “strongly support universal school choice,” “keep men out of women’s sports,” and ask Congress to legislate a national ban on “child sexual mutilation.”
“Can you imagine you have to put that down as a platform? That you are going to stop child sexual mutilation? Who would think you would ever have to say a thing like that?”
“I’m also going to take aggressive action to reclaim our system of higher education. It’s a system right now of the Marxist left, and we’re not going to have it any longer. When I’m your President, these communists, fascists, and others will no longer be allowed to rule the lives of our children – no longer be allowed to take away the authority of loving parents,” he concluded.
Kamala Harris’ Running Mate Tim Walz is ‘Bernie Sanders in Hunting Gear’ Warns Former Minnesota Governor
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, the last Republican to serve as governor of the North Star State, has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’ selection of Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, asserting that it reflects a deep commitment to the Democratic Party’s “democrat-socialist agenda.”
Harris named Minnesota’s incumbent governor as her running mate on Tuesday, Aug. 6, following weeks of whirlwind speculation regarding who she would tap to be her vice president.
“As a governor, a coach, a teacher and a veteran, he’s delivered for working families like his,” said Harris in a statement announcing her selection.
Harris praised Walz for his supposed bipartisanship and willingness to collaborate with Republicans to secure infrastructure investments, mandating universal background checks for gun purchases, cutting taxes for working-class families, passing paid family and medical leave bills and making Minnesota the first state to enshrine into the state constitution protections to the right to abortion following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Walz, 60, has used his term as governor to massively overhaul Minnesota and turn it into a progressive state – an overhaul that went on overdrive following his winning a second term in 2022 and the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party – the Minnesota branch of the Democrats – took full control of both houses of the state legislature. With Walz on the ticket, the Democrats may now use Minnesota as a template for their national plans.
Pawlenty describes Walz as a Midwest Bernie Sanders
Pawlenty, who served as governor from 2003 to 2011 and previously campaigned to be the Republican Party’s candidate for the 2012 election, shared his views regarding Walz with Fox 9.
Pawlenty described Walz as “philosophically and politically” aligned with Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, though he noted that Walz brings a distinct “style and geography” to the 2024 Democratic ticket.

“She has sort of the San Francisco, California, vibe. He’s going to have sort of the ‘Bernie Sanders in hunting gear’ vibe,” Pawlenty commented. “So, it’s the same product, just in different wrappers.”
While Walz’s record is celebrated by progressives, it has also provided ammunition for Republicans who view Harris and her running mate as too liberal.
Pawlenty suggested that the campaign of former President Donald Trump will easily be able to criticize Walz for his handling of the 2020 George Floyd riots, which massively rocked Minneapolis and led to a police station being burned to the ground.
He also pointed to Walz’s record of significant state spending increases and a scandal involving Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic relief fraud as potential Republican talking points.
“Rising crime and high-profile fraud within state government under his watch, with a nonpartisan legislative auditor saying, ‘You’re not taking it seriously,’” Pawlenty said. “The target audience for a lot of this is going to be persuadable voters in swing states.”
Meanwhile, Pawlenty also acknowledged Walz’s possible strengths as a campaigner.
“On a personal level, he’s energetic, he’s friendly, he’s folksy. He’s interested in issues. He likes to campaign,” Pawlenty said. “Their problem isn’t going to be campaign style or skills or energy. It’s going to be whether America is ready for a doubling down on this democrat-socialist agenda.”
He expressed doubts about the Harris-Walz ticket’s appeal, noting that Trump has his own challenges.
“I think this ticket, the Harris-Walz ticket, would be pretty beatable if the Republicans had a better candidate,” Pawlenty said. “There’s a bunch of Republicans and independents who don’t like Trump that the Republicans could leverage.”
Pawlenty clarified his personal stance, stating he does not support the Harris-Walz ticket and has voted for Trump in the past, with the possibility of doing so again.
“I think the Trump campaign is going to make it very clear that this isn’t some moderate or centrist choice,” he said of Walz. “They’re going to characterize it as a radical ticket. And I don’t know how well that will play in places like Pennsylvania.”
