GOP lawmaker visits Darien Gap ‘pipeline’ that pumps tens of thousands of migrants to southern border

Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) appeared on the Sara Carter Show to swap stories with Carter on both of their recent trips to Central America. Carter recently returned from Guatemala and Tiffany just returned from Panama. What Tiffany discovered was a “pipeline that runs all the way through Central America, Northern South America, Central America” right up to the southern border.

“First of all, this is not just about people in Mexico or Central America,” Tiffany said. In fact, people from countries outside of Central America make up the second largest group of people that Border Patrol officers encounter at the border. Instead, people from over 160 countries use this pipeline at the Darien gap to get to the southern border tens of thousands at a time.

“And it’s a harrowing journey,” Carter said. “The Darien gap is one of the most, if not the most dangerous place on planet Earth.”

Tiffany stayed in a town called Meteti along the Darien gap to experience what some of these migrants go through. Locals told him that thousands of people a day travel through this town, but there’s only one doctor and he works in a medical tent. And these migrants are not without injury.

“We saw people coming out of the jungle, they had trench foot, some people look like they were about to get gangrene,” Tiffany said. “I saw a woman being wheeled borrowed into a medical facility.”

War correspondent and previous guest on the show Michael Yon has stayed in the Darien gap for weeks, reporting on the recent migrations. Yon estimates that 1 in 7 migrants die along the journey.

New House Judiciary Report: Biden-Harris Funneled Taxpayer Money to UN to Support Open-Border

Published

A new report released just before the weekend details how the Biden-Harris administration funneled millions in taxpayer dollars to the United Nations to support their open-border initiatives.

The House Judiciary Committee’s GOP members released the 12-page report Friday, titled “Inside the Biden-Harris Administration’s Open-borders Alliance with United Nations Bureaucrats”.  The report shows how there have been an estimated 5.8 million illegal aliens released into the U.S. since January 2021, with an additional 1.9 million illegal aliens deemed as “gotaways.”

“The images of mass illegal immigration and chaos at the southwest border became a political liability for President Biden and Vice President Harris. But rather than fix the actual problem of illegal immigration, the Biden-Harris administration engaged in misdirection – teaming up with open-borders bureaucrats at the United Nations to allow aliens to bypass the southwest border altogether,” the report states in its executive summary.

Approximately $67.1 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars was spent by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to fund the Safe Mobility Offices (SMOs), with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) spending another $14.6 million in taxpayer funds for the initiative, equating to over $80 million in total.

The report goes on to note the State Department announced the Safe Mobility Initiative in June 2023, a plan to allow illegal aliens to “sidestep” the southern border. It was implemented under the direction of the Biden-Harris administration.

TheUNHCR reportedly said the initiative would let migrants “avoid the risks associated with onward movement,” meaning undocumented migrants were swiftly moved from the southern border and into the interior of the U.S. to avoid the “damaging optics at the border.”

The initiative further enables aliens outside of the U.S. to consult with foreign nationals working for the UNHCR, and the International Organization for Migration. These organizations facilitate illegal migrants to resettle in the U.S. through various means, including labor pathways and family reunification.

According to the report, the Safe Mobility Offices are located throughout Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Ecuador and are all paid for with taxpayer money. The committee estimates under the Biden-Harris administration, more than 18,000 aliens from Central and South America have resettled in the U.S. through the initiative.
