Biden's blunders...

Post by Lrus007 »

A Biden administration migrant welfare program could be handing out in excess of $1 billion in benefits to those crossing the Southern Border.

The CHNV program has allowed hundreds of thousands of nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to enter the US.

It allows 30,000 migrants to apply for asylum each month and be flown to the US on the taxpayer dollar, as long as they have a sponsor who passes a background check.

The undocumented migrants are given a two-year grace period to obtain status and in the meantime can live and work lawfully in the country on 'humanitarian parole.'

According to figures from Border Protection, over 520,000 migrants from the four countries were paroled into the US between January 2023 and June of this year.

This was broken down into 109,000 Cubans, 205,000 Haitians, 90,000 Nicaraguans, and 115,000 Venezuelans.

Haitians and Cubans that are involved with the program are immediately eligible for taxpayer-funded federal benefits like Medicaid, food stamps and welfare.

Analysis by DailyMail.com indicates that the Medicaid cost, which costs around $9,175 per enrollee, would cost $1.8 billion if every Haitian who entered the country received it.

SNAP benefits, more commonly known as food stamps, would cost the country $451 million, with general welfare benefits climbing to $1.2 billion.

The three figures take the overall spend on benefits only to over an eyewatering $3.4 billion.

Even if only a quarter of the Haitians are getting all the benefits they are entitled to receive, that figure would stand at $850 million.

Average costs were obtained from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the Department of Health & Human Services, and a Medicaid Commission.

Court documents show that the vetting process isn't stringent, with an approval rating of 98.3 percent for Haitian applicants from January to June of last year.

n that time frame, 78,838 Haitians had applied to the program with the Department of Homeland Security adjudicating 64,285 cases. Of those, 63,214 applications were approved.

That figure was revealed in a lawsuit filed this year by the state of Texas and other Republican-led states who sued the Biden administration to block the program.

Other states including Florida, Tennessee and Arkansas argued that the program had left them with extra costs for health care, education and law enforcement.

They also argued that the Biden administration was inviting people who otherwise would have entered the country illegally.

A federal judge would ruled that the government could continue the program which was welcomed by Homeland Security secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas.

Last month, the Biden administration had to pause the program after massive fraud was uncovered.

The freeze came after an internal DHS report that revealed fraud among sponsors paying for the migrants to come to the country,

A total of 3,200 individual sponsors signed up to support roughly 101,000 migrants according to the report, prompting concerns at DHS that the system was being abused.

The report indicating fraud also shockingly found that some of the names used to fill out sponsor forms belonged to dead people.

Additionally, storage units were found to be the home address for some sponsor applications, while certain phone numbers were used on thousands of applications.

Almost 3,000 sponsors applications were filled out using fake zip codes, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) a conservative immigration nonprofit which first obtained the report, found.

At the end of last month it was announced the program would continue after the DHS 'incorporated additional vetting'.

During their debate this week Trump accused Haitian migrants of 'eating pets' in Springfield, Ohio, an unsubstantiated claim that first appeared on social media.

'In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats,' the former president said. 'They're eating the pets of the people that live there.'

Harris could be heard muttering 'What? This is unbelievable' before adding 'talk about extreme' and laughing.

On Friday, Trump continued to disparage Haitian migrants in the Ohio town, fueling the false claims.

At a news conference in California, he said: 'We will do large deportations from Springfield, Ohio' adding that migrants are 'destroying the way of life'.

On Friday, President Joe Biden said the Haitian community is 'under attack' right now, and called for an end to Republicans' comments.

'It's simply wrong. There's no place in America,' Biden said while speaking at a White House luncheon. 'This has to stop, what he´s doing. It has to stop.'

So let me get this right, legal immigration is working, the borders are under control, Humanity Aid is flowing. But corporate greed is up and Trump wants to wipe his ass with the Constitution by Deporing legal Americans and MASS Deporting legal immigrants.

Funny blunder.

Biden's migrant 'super-highway' revealed: Millions in US taxpayer cash turned the world's deadliest smuggling route into a 'safe' passage... how TODD BENSMAN was threatened for exposing it

CAPURGANA, Colombia – 'Hey! Hey you! Alto! Stop!' three Colombian cartel soldiers shouted at me and my translator as we ducked into a small shop and pretended not to hear their commands.

I'd come to Capurgana, a dusty seaside village on the northwest coast of Colombia to investigate international efforts to shut down one of the world's most notorious human smuggling routes – the Darien Gap.

It's a 70-mile stretch of dense jungle connecting South America and Panama through which 1.5 million migrants from 170 countries have passed from 2021 to August 2024.

Capurgana is one of the last major stops before these travelers enter Central America seeking a new life further north, invariably in the U.S.

What I discovered shocked me – and, for a heart-pounding moment, I thought I'd never make it out with the story.

Instead of finding any progress toward reining in a historic illegal immigration crisis here, I uncovered the opposite.

Migrants arrive in Capurgana daily by the hundreds from all over South America and places as far-flung as Africa, the Middle East and China.

They're met on the docks by foot soldiers of the Gaitanist Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, a powerful paramilitary drug-trafficking cartel that rules the region's smuggling routes.

The migrants pay hundreds of dollars each for passage and permission to travel north through the Darien Gap to Panama and beyond.

I'd been warned that the cartel kept a close watch on everything here, so I posed as a tourist.

For a full day, I'd been flying a drone out the window of my hotel room – filming the Gaitanistas shuttling men, women and children from the docks to the Darien Gap to begin their journey.

But when I began documenting the operation from the ground, I was spotted and chased into a convenience store by three Gaitanistsa goons.

'Hand over the camera,' one of the hulking men demanded.

I backed up against the cash register.

On my phone was the damning footage of their activities. It felt that keeping it secret could be a matter of life or death.

I'm just a 'gringo,' I told them through my translator, an 'adventure tourist.'

They weren't buying it.

I briefly considered an escape, thinking of the taser I carry in my front pocket. But even if we got away, there was only one way out of Capurgana — the boats controlled by the Gaitanistas.

I raised my hands in surrender. 'Okay, I'll tell you the truth about everything,' I said.

Around a cheap plastic table in a restaurant next door, I explained that I was an American journalist. Thankfully, even the Gaitanistas are not so bold as to harm a Yankee.

They let me leave on the condition that I take the first boat out of town the next morning and, in the meantime, I was instructed to stay out of their way.

They had work to do. And they've never been busier.

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.

The nation built new migrant processing centers and welcomed dozens of non-governmental agencies to provide aid to the illegal travelers.

So much was the investment that the once dangerous passage now resembles an American-built migrant 'super-highway.' As a result, illegal immigration in the Darien Gap has exploded even further.

Crossings grew to 250,000 by the end of 2022.

In 2023, 520,000 traversed the Gap.

Midway through this year, nearly a quarter million had made the trip.

The migrant flow is so overwhelming now that Panama's National Border Service chief told me his country screens less than one percent of the migrants.

They used to question up to 90 percent about their criminal histories and potential ties to terrorism.

It was no wonder that Panamanians have had enough.

Panama's new president Raul Jose Mulino has pledged to close the crossing – and, at least in writing, the Biden administration has agreed to help.

On July 1, DHS Secretary Mayorkas said the U.S. would help fund deportation flights of illegal migrants from Panama back to Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela.

But that help hasn't yet materialized, according to President Mulino.

'I will never tire of reiterating my position before the international community,' he posted on Twitter this week. 'Darien will no longer be the path through which thousands of illegal immigrants continue to cross to the United States; this humanitarian crisis will come to an end.'

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.
