Europe's Migration Troubles Become a Warning About Japan's Future
Footage said to show migrants overwhelming the Spanish enclave of Ceuta circulated as proof that 'multicultural coexistence has failed' and as a picture of 'Japan next year.' In Ceuta, humanitarian problems after a large 2026 summer influx — people stranded on beaches and roads, moved into makeshift shelters — have been reported by AP and others, but the claim that the whole city became a garbage-strewn slum overstates a situation that was centered on the beachfront and temporary holding areas; the video's date, location, and editing remain unclear. Separately, influencer Yutabon's line that America succeeded not 'through' migrants but because migrants 'took the country over' sparked an argument over how to read US history. The dominant tone was strongly against accepting migrants, alongside a smaller strand of policy and historical debate.
