On Friday, President Trump described the scene as an invasion, while the State Department said the influx was a direct result of Madrid's deliberate efforts to facilitate illegal migration into Europe. Vice President Vance and the Department of Homeland Security made similar statements. The crisis has strained European unity: France reintroduced border checks and Italy proposed suspending Spain from the Schengen area.
