Rep.
Thomas Massie (R-KY) questioned the timing of GOP-backed funding for Morocco and accused fellow Republicans of hypocrisy following the migrant surge into Spain's Ceuta enclave.
Massie took to X on Sunday to highlight that the House Republicans approved a bill allocating $40 million to Morocco just two weeks before migrants from Morocco entered Spain's Ceuta enclave.
He also highlighted committee report language stating that the Spanish-administered cities of Ceuta and Melilla are located in Moroccan territory.
The State Department and White House did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comments. 2 weeks before migrants from Morocco invaded Ceuta, the GOP passed a bill with $40 million for Morocco and a committee report advising:Spanish-administered cities of Ceuta and Melilla are located in Moroccan territory and remain the subject of Morocco's longstanding claim. pic.twitter.com/chhpmUFtdX— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) August 2, 2026 Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene supported Massie's claim and stated that Republicans spent $40 million in taxpayer funds supporting Morocco's invasion of Spain, accused both parties of hypocrisy on border issues, and criticized the "Uniparty" for prioritizing foreign interests while driving U.S. debt to $40 trillion.
