TODD BENSMAN was threatened for exposing Biden's migrant super-highway
I'd come to a dusty seaside village on the northwest coast of Colombia to investigate efforts to shut down one of the world's most notorious human smuggling routes - the Darien Gap.
For decades, fewer than 10,000 migrants a year passed through towns like Capurgana to cross the Darien Gap.
But after President Joe Biden came into office, demolished his predecessor's security measures and essentially opened the U.S. southern border, that number increased to 133,000 immigrants in 2021.
Then, the seven-day crossing was still notorious for rapes, robberies and murders.
Indigenous inhabitants on the Panamanian side routinely killed migrants for their money and valuables. Women ran the risk of sexual assault from fellow migrants and cartel guides. Flash floods along the river were known to sweep away entire families camping in the middle of the night. The weak and injured were routinely left by the trailside to die.
Now, nearly everything has changed.
No longer a torturous seven-day trek, the current passage through the Darien Gap is a two or three-day walk along trails heavily patrolled by Panamanian border police.
Why? In April 2022, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas signed an agreement with Panama to help ease the humanitarian disaster - that the White Hoyuse helped create by throwing open America's gates.
The administration declared its commitment to 'safe, orderly, and humane migration,' worldwide.
In 2023, U.S. State Department agencies further increased contributions to the United Nations's International Organization for Migration to a staggering $1.4 billion, according to a database that tracks federal spending.
Hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars began flowing into Panama.

On Tuesday, Biden's Treasury Department announced sanctions for a handful of leaders of the Gaitanist Self-Defense Forces of Colombia – calling the cartel, 'one of the country's largest drug trafficking organizations and a key contributor to human smuggling through the Darién Gap.'
Some may see the move as progress, but others in the region know that sanctions won't change the situation on the ground.
It is difficult for critics to see this as anything less than a feeble response to a humanitarian crisis of the administration's own making.
As long as this Biden-build migrant 'super-highway' remains open, misery and the criminality that feeds on it will continue.
Commentary:
Great investigative reporting by Todd Bensman....
All this brought to you by Democrat Neo-Marxists, Biden and his appointed Border Czar Kamala Harris, who did find the “root causes” and enhanced them.
The Darien Gap was reported on several years ago at least once during this administration. It could and should have not been a secret to this administration. Especially if it wasn't to me. It was stated as a very dangerous area.
Trump was right all along, he warned over and over again. The Democrats want them for votes, they use everyone. Even the convicted murderers, sexual preadtors and common thieves they've allowed into the U.S.
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and especially the Democrat Beo-Marxists in America own this lock, stock and barrel....

"Last week, ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner sent a letter to lawmakers detailing the number of criminal aliens on ICE’s national docket. As of July 21, 2024, nearly 650,000 criminal aliens were on the NDD—meaning they had previously been encountered by CBP, turned over to ICE, had their criminal history documented, and then were released into the United States."
"The specific breakdown of what types of criminals have been released is just as sobering. The following numbers include both convicted criminals and those with pending charges for the specific offense. In all categories, the former exceeded the latter:
- Homicide: 14,944
- Sexual Assault: 20,061
- Assault: 105,146
- Burglary/Larceny/Robbery: 60,268
- Traffic Offenses: 126,343
- Weapon Offenses: 16,820
- Kidnapping: 3,372
- Commercialized Sexual Offenses: 3,971
