Central American Countries Are Helping Middle Easterners Illegally Enter The United States

The Federalist

By Todd Bensman

In December 2018, the Center for Immigration Studies dispatched Senior National Security Fellow Todd Bensman to Panama and Costa Rica to investigate President Donald Trump’s widely ridiculed assertions that suspected terrorists had been apprehended among Middle East migrants through Latin America. Panama is a geographic chokepoint, or bottleneck, through which migrants from countries of the Middle East, who are moving out of South America, must push on their way to the U.S. border.

The following article is based on Bensman’s on-the-ground research over two weeks. His video reports, photos, and writings from the trip can be found here.

Golfito, Costa Rica — It was here in March 2017, at the main aluminum structure of a government migrant camp, that federal Costa Rican police arrested Ibrahim Qoordheen of Somalia as a suspected al Shabaab terrorist operative on his way to the U.S. southern border.

Qoordheen had been smuggled from Zambia to Brazil, passed through Panama, and was making his way north through Costa Rica when the Americans had him arrested here, 20 miles inside Costa Rica, according to an American intelligence official with knowledge of the case who spoke on condition of anonymity. The Golfito camp, with a capacity of 250, was set up as a two-day rest station for South America-exiting migrants whom the governments of Panama and Costa Rica register and help move through northward to Nicaragua.

Luckily, the Somali stayed long enough for an American intelligence analyst working with the name he had provided in Panama to unscramble it and match it to a pre-existing intelligence file that identified him as intertwined with an al Shabaab cell and smuggling network in Zambia, the U.S. intelligence official said.

Our national parks along the border are safe havens for smugglers and jihadis.

The U.S. Border Patrol nabbed two Pakistani men with ties to terrorism at the U.S.-Mexico border in September, and it is only the latest known instance of illegal immigrants from so-called “special interest countries” using the southern border as a point of entry into the country.

The men, Muhammad Azeem and Mukhtar Ahmad, both in their 20s and from Gujrat, were caught Sept. 20 by agents south of San Diego and just over the international border from Tijuana.

When agents checked their identities through databases they got hits on both of them:

Mr. Ahmad – associate of a known or suspected terrorist
Mr. Azeem – Information had been shared by a foreign government for “intelligence purposes”

They had been processed in Panama two months earlier which points to them have used the smuggling apparatus to sneak into the United States.

Must See: Border Patrol Insider Speaks Out: “They’re Anticipating A Large National Crisis… Something Drastic”

The Daily Sheeple

The southern border of the United States has never been safer. There is no credible threat from terrorists. And, the government has everything under control.

That’s the narrative being disseminated to the masses and it’s being done in such a way that anyone who disagrees is labeled a racist, an alarmist, or an anti-government extremist.

But the story being told by the mainstream media and proponents of open border policies in Washington is quite different from the realities on the ground.

According to one retired Border Patrol insider, the U.S. border with Mexico poses a significant risk to public safety and national security. In the following interview excerpt from the Back to the Border documentary posted by Joe for America, Zach Taylor provides a shocking first-hand account of security issues he has witnessed and shares some frightening insights with the American people.

According to Taylor, this entire border crisis is a controlled event designed to shape the perceptions of the American people. But more importantly, it is being used to facilitate what Taylor describes as a widespread national crisis.

by Brian Hayes | Top Right News

Outrageous!

Four Mexican police officers crossed into U.S. territory and were detained by our agents. They claimed it was a “mistaken” violation of our sovereignty. And guess what — within 48 hours they were back in Mexico.

If you remember that we have a jailed Marine hero languishing in a Mexican jail hellhole despite his “mistaken” crossing into Mexican territory on March 31st, you aren’t the only one. FoxNews’ Greta Van Susteren, who has done a yeoman’s job in covering this Marine’s travails, unleashed her anger about this story on Facebook today:

Illegal Immigration Costs U.S. $113 Billion a Year, Study Finds

Fox News

The cost of harboring illegal immigrants in the United States is a staggering $113 billion a year — an average of $1,117 for every “native-headed” household in America — according to a study conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).

The study, a copy of which was provided to FoxNews.com, “is the first and most detailed look at the costs of illegal immigration ever done,” says Bob Dane, director of communications at FAIR, a conservative organization that seeks to end almost all immigration to the U.S.
