NY TIMES: Colombian Pols Getting Rich Off Darien Gap Influx—President Sneers At U.S.

Here’s a sprawling (5,100 word—but beautifully illustrated) New York Times Darien Gap article A Ticket to Disney’? Politicians Charge Millions to Send Migrants to U.S.,by Julie Turkewitz, September 14, 2023. [Archive link]

Buried in a welter of human-interest anecdotes are some significant and highly alarming facts for those who care about the evolving trend in U.S. immigration. (That does not include the Biden Administration.)

• The Darien Gap flow is accelerating very quickly:

More than 360,000 people have already crossed the jungle in 2023, according to the Panamanian government, surpassing last year’s almost unthinkable record of nearly 250,000….
In August alone, almost 82,000 people made the trek through the Darién, according to Panamanian officials, by far the large/st single-month total on record.

August annualizes to 1,032,000. President Petro of Colombia is quoted saying he expects 2024 Darien crossings to be 1 million. That assumes a sudden halting of the tremendous growth rate of the past couple of years.

Local entrepreneurs on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, up by the Panamanian border, do not expect any slowing. The article extensively documents how efficiently they have geared up to handle massive traffic. They are a credit to Free Enterprise.

Needless to say, they are very happy, and many are quoted to this effect.
The hub of this traffic is the town of Necocli which I first noted in THEY’RE COMING! One Billion-Plus Chinese “Economic Migrants” Now Know About The Darien Gap. The NYT observes:

The streets of Necoclí are now filled with people speaking Mandarin, Persian and Nepali.

• Turkewitz [Email her]has uncovered something of critical importance: official involvement:

…the entrepreneurs behind the migrant gold rush are not underground smugglers hiding from the authorities.

They are politicians, prominent businessmen and elected leaders, now sending thousands of migrants toward the United States in plain sight each day—and charging millions of dollars a month for the privilege.

She provides much evidence for this.

When the national authorities can be seen at all, they are often waving migrants through, or in the case of the national police, fist-bumping the men selling expensive travel packages through the jungle.

(In the Chinese/Darien story above police were reported as active recruiters for the traffickers.)

• Colombian Officials feel entitled to dump migrants on the despised U.S. They plan no help.

Colombia’s president, Gustavo Petro… added that it was not his goal to stop migration through the Darién anyway — despite the agreement his government signed with the United States.

After all, he argued, the roots of this migration were “the product of poorly taken measures against Latin American peoples,” particularly by the United States

Apparently, he told Turkewitz the local Traffickers are making $30 million a year. Could he be getting a share?

• Surprise! The Biden Administration is lying about this mess!

White House officials say they believe that the Colombian government is following through on its commitment to crack down on illicit migration.

This Darien news guarantees crossings of the US Border will accelerate—probably massively, as the well-financed Chinese get going.

Without the Democrat’s No Borders policy, this invasion would not be happening

This is why they should be bussed back over the FIRST border they illegally crossed and on down the line like a conveyer belt. Reverse dump!

They get them back until they stop letting them in.

These corrupt countries are making billions off of human trafficking.

Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas should be facing military tribunals for Sedition, Treason, and handing our border over to corrupt Mexico and the drug cartel.
