One of the main pathways to the United States begins in South America, traveling through Panama and its Darien Gap region. From there migrants travel Mexico and then cross onto U.S. soil.
Organizations like the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) are providing support for migrants in Panama as they journey northward toward the United States.
The presence of HIAS in South America was recently exposed by Laura Loomer, a Jewish conservative activist. She had traveled there to expose the well-organized and well-funded work to help migrants get to the U.S.
Interestingly, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas once served as a HIAS board member.
Under the leadership of Amy Pope, a former White House deputy homeland security advisor, the International Organization for Migration (IMO) is working in conjunction with organization like HIAS to facilitate and regulate migration around the world.
AFN recently reported on the UN and IMO after author-journalist Larry Alex Taunton reported on his findings in the jungles of Colombia. Taunton took an IMO photo (pictured above) that showed the UN agency offering free Internet service to migrants in Necocli, Colombia.
Panama is a member state of the IOM, and coincidentally, Panama is also home to one of the most traveled routes for migrants seeking entry to the United States. In 2023, an unprecedented half a million people migrated north across the Darien Gap, widely recognized as a dangerous stretch of jungle between Colombia and Panama.
American Family News spoke to Brigadier General Blaine "Blaino" Holt (USAF-Ret.), the former deputy U.S. military representative to NATO. He is also co-founder of the nonprofit Restore Liberty.
"There are dozens upon dozens of organizations supporting the UN mission down there in the Darien Gap," he said.
American taxpayer dollars are also being "funneled” into the UN mission to support many of the illegal migrants making their way toward America, he added.
Nonprofits are assisting illegal immigrants with maps to America, while cities like New York are providing them with prepaid credit cards for food and groceries.
And the path to reach the United States will soon get easier. There is currently a bridge under construction (pictured at right) that will connect two highways once separated by the jungle of the Darien Gap.
With more than 520,000 people making the dangerous trek through the region in 2023, numbers are expected to rise even more after the highways are connected.
A warning about 'camouflage' and chaos
“So what happens when the UN and cities across America pull the plug on these migrants?” Holt asked. “They start rioting. They steal. They knock people down to get what they want. They start taking things from you that are not theirs to take."
Not only is that a legitimate concern, Holt warns, he believes the Biden administration can "manufacture" that crisis in a matter of minutes to create chaos and violence.
"Does the chaos provide cover for terrorists to activate their cells?" he wondered aloud. "Does it provide camouflage for members of the People’s Liberation Army to make their cyber hits on our electric grid and water systems?”
The retired general answered his own question.
"It does," he warned. "There are more of them already in the country than first responders and the military."
