From our Bureau of Weaponized Migration with some assistance from our Caribbean Triangle of Mayhem Bureau
Latrine America’s leftist dictators are cooperating to increase illegal immigration to the United States, and the invasion coordinated by them is perhaps the most powerful weapon they can wield at the moment. Emanuele Ottolenghi analyzes this troubling development in the article below.
From The National Interest.
Even as President Biden issues a new executive order so he can appear to be addressing the crisis on our southern border, foreign adversaries continue to exploit that same crisis for their benefit. If Biden wants to get serious about securing the border, he must step up his game against the Western Hemisphere’s axis of anti-Americanism: Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
The dictatorial regimes in Havana, Managua, and Caracas are manipulating the flood of illegal immigration to sow discord among American voters. Nicaraguan strongman Daniel Ortega and his fellow dictators are turning a profit while worsening the U.S. border crisis by flying in thousands of migrants on their way to cross the U.S. border illegally.
The joint venture to support this surge begins at Managua’s international airport in western Nicaragua. Since 2022, Ortega and his cronies relaxed visa restrictions while simultaneously engineering a dramatic increase in international flights to Managua. Immigrants who previously would have started their dangerous trek northward into Ecuador, Colombia, or even Brazil can now skip the hundreds of miles of dangerous terrain and pay a coyote’s fee by flying north into Managua and starting from there.
Not only has Nicaragua relaxed its visa requirements, but it also allows chartered flights to reach Managua, carrying immigrants from all over the world, including faraway places like Mauritania and India. Many immigrants, including Cubans, make their way to Managua from Havana’s international airport. The regimes in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela all facilitate these clandestine immigration routes and handsomely benefit from them. Transit revenues bring hard currency to the regime; the increased flow of illegal immigrants puts pressure on the U.S.
U.S. authorities are scrambling to contain this surge and, in recent months, have taken multiple steps to stop the flow of migrants by targeting charter flights and the aviation carriers operating them. Earlier this week, the Department of State announced sanctions against the CEO of a charter airline for facilitating migration to the United States via Nicaragua. This follows the release, on May 15, of a Department of Homeland Security travel advisory to the aviation industry, alerting travel operators about “the ways in which migrant smuggling and human trafficking networks are exploiting legitimate transportation services to facilitate irregular migration to the United States.”
