Can you direct me to some reading on the entire logistical operation that enabled migrants from Africa and the middle east to get to the Rio Grande? Mainly how they got to South America in the first place. Nobody in immigration debates really talks about how this chain was established, or why it was allowed by all the countries along the way that used to be hostile to migration. Nor have I heard a plausible story about why the CCP has been so laissez faire about all the Chinese working age men who came to the USA during Biden's term. They can't all be spies and saboteurs, I would think. But why were they allowed to leave China, and how did they get to the Darien Gap? A mystery.

Many African & Asian migrants who eventually find their way to the US fly as individuals or small groups to a South or Central American country then link up with human smuggling network(s) to first get them through the Darien Gap and then through Mexico and eventually the US. Some may have already been working as migrant laborers in third countries before saving enough money to fund their journey to the US. In China, criminal organizations called "Snakeheads" often facilitate Chinese illegal immigration. This US Justice Dept white paper may answer some of your questions: https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/200607.pdf

Thank you. I have been wondering both why the CCP can't or won't prevent so many valuable men from leaving its domestic workforce, and also why any LatAm nation would allow endless waves of undesirable migrants to fly in, and just hope that they moved on north quickly [which suggests an organized logistical operation from point of entry to US border, as exists in Europe]. I'll start with that paper you linked.

How long will it be before the cartels fly them into the interior of our country.

US Customs & Border Protection maintains a fairly large "air force" whose job it is to prevent that. I've written about that on NewsBreak @ https://tinyurl.com/ye2yfh24 if you'd like to learn more.

Thanks for updates -- hard to get this kind of news -- do you follow Bill Buppert? He is ex military and has a few recent articles re Mex and risks of us naming cartels as terror orgs. Quite revealing, highly recommended - would be interested your views?

I wasn't familiar with Buppert's work - and I thank you for acquainting me with it. I do agree that an unintended consequence of pursuing a "military solution" is finding yourself in an actual war. Trump "Border Czar" Tom Homan predicts the cartels will continue to react violently, reasoning they are not going to willingly give up their lucrative smuggling routes. I covered that in an earlier article ( https://tinyurl.com/47kv7u7a ). -Thanks for reading and reaching out!

Warfare may be inevitable, as cartels around the world are demonstrating the ambition to create military moats for their operations, and being used as soft power proxies for hostile foreign nations.
