During a D-Day ceremony in Normandy, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth cautioned that Europe faces a new form of 'invasion' from migration, urging EU leaders to take action before it is too late. He highlighted that various European nations, including Spain, Italy, Greece, and Bulgaria, are experiencing significant influxes of migrants. Hegseth's remarks resonate with a broader narrative linking migration to cultural change and national security concerns, as noted in the Trump administration's National Security Strategy. As the EU prepares to roll out its most ambitious migration reforms, including measures to expedite deportations of rejected asylum seekers, experts note that only 20-30% of those ordered to leave actually do. The EU's migrant population has reached a record 64.2 million, with over 500,000 individuals reportedly waiting in Libya to enter Europe, raising alarms about a potential new migrant crisis.
