The extracted claim says migrants are feeding and waving in the invaders, but the passage attributes the waving-in and feeding to locals ("locals waving in the invaders... they're feeding them"), so the claim departs from the post and cannot be graded as the poster's statement.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… Just remarkable reporting, ah, from the scene. And, you know, it's, ah, just it is just so disgusting. There are videos there's a few of them of white women i shouldn't say white women spanish women, I guess they're white, whatever, locals waving in the invaders, waving them in, and now today you have a scene where they're feeding them. They have set up set up like soup kitchens to feed the people who invaded their country. The West is doomed.

What we found

Contradicts. BBC reports that several dozen locals prevented Red Cross personnel from distributing food and water to migrants, which cuts against the post's depiction of locals feeding them.[2]

Supports. AP reports that volunteers and a Muslim charity (Luna Blanca) distributed 3,000 to 5,000 meals a day to migrants still in Ceuta, so the feeding of migrants is documented, though not as the post describes it.[1]

Context. The post says locals (Spanish women) were waving the invaders in and feeding them; the extracted claim instead makes migrants the actors, which the passage never says.

Context. Sources describe the crossing as an invasion in some framings (a taxi-driver quote and a Politico-style characterization in Wikipedia) but also as a humanitarian crisis, and do not adopt the post's framing as fact.[3][4]

Context. No source covers the specific waving-in scene the post describes, so the post's central assertion about locals is not corroborated or refuted.
