Hegseth: Uncontrolled Migration Threatens Civilization Allies Saved on D-Day

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spoke at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer on June 6 during events marking the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landings. Hegseth stated that different European beaches are now stormed by different dangerous ideologies, with boats and men arriving in Spain, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria.

He asked when European capitals will do something about that invasion or whether it is too late. The D-Day landings took place on June 6, 1944. The operation, codenamed OVERLORD, delivered five naval assault divisions to the beaches of Normandy from an armada of 7,000 ships and landing craft.

More than 195,000 naval personnel from eight Allied countries crewed those vessels. Almost 133,000 troops from the United States, the British Commonwealth and other Allies reached the beaches in the largest amphibious invasion in military history. The landings began the Allied campaign that ended World War II in Europe.

Hegseth's remarks echoed earlier statements by President Trump and Vice President JD Vance on European immigration policy. S. ally.
