Michael Yon performed a magnificent feat of investigative journalism when he revealed and documented the Darien Gap migration funnel to the American southern border. Today, I make the case that GAE is rebuilding the migration funnel via Cuba.

It’s remarkable how visible the Trump Presidency is, in the charts and graphs of GAE’s extermination of Heritage America.
Biden’s Border Chief Shuts His Deadly Trail in the Panama Jungle

President Joe Biden’s border chief is shutting down the deadly Darien Gap jungle trail in Panama he built for migrants in 2021 — just as a huge wave of northbound migrants is now overwhelming his border management plans.
In January 2021, just after Biden was elected, many economic migrants from Haiti, Venezuela, Ecuador, and other countries began using the Darien Gap jungle trail to cross the roadless mountains between South America and Central America.
Once across the gap, the migrants trek up to the border where Mayorkas let them into the United States to replace Americans in housing and jobs.
In late 2021, a few U.S. newspaper reports sketched the death toll.
That’s right, Brightbutt, don’t mention Michael Yon. You are not worthy. He is a REAL reporter!
The news prompted Mayorkas to open a second, shorter, and safer trail along the Panama coast and through a shorter, flatter jungle trail. He visited the area by helicopter and also provided taxpayer funds for aid centers, a security force, and a bus network to get the job-seeking migrants onto the Panamanian roads toward distant Texas.
Mayorkas would be guilty of treason if he was any kind of American. I cannot say that he has ever pretended loyalty. He barely bothers with enough make-up to pass for human. His closing the first trail Yon found and opening another is just one of many shadow games he played.
Yon stayed on the case until Mayorkas “gave up”:
The shutdown news was delivered on April 11 in a Trilateral Joint Statement issued by Panama, Columbia, and border chief Alejandro Mayorkas:
“the three governments will seek to achieve the following ambitious goals:
“End the illicit movement of people and goods through the Darién by both land and maritime corridors, which leads to death and exploitation of vulnerable people for significant profit.”
Well done, Mr. Yon, well done.
“Open new lawful and flexible pathways for tens of thousands of migrants and refugees as an alternative to irregular migration.”
That’s my cue!
U.S. encourages groups to sponsor immigrants through parole program

Ten days after Mayorkas’ announced closing of the Darien Gap.
HAVANA — The U.S. is making efforts to expand the number of people in organizations who are willing to sponsor immigrants from Cuba and other countries as part of the Biden administration’s parole program, according to the U.S. chargé d’affaires in Havana, Benjamin Ziff.
The parole program was initially rolled out in October 2022 for Venezuelans and extended in January to include Cubans, Nicaraguans and Haitians. Up to 30,000 people from the four countries are eligible for humanitarian parole every month, entitling them to work in the U.S. for two years. Anyone who tries to cross the border illegally is returned to Mexico and denied a chance to seek asylum.
Read that paragraph again. It’s located in Cuba, run by not-Ambassador Ziff, but it was first for Venezuelans? Importing 360,000 people per year is an act of war, not an act of charity. And it was scaled up after just three months?
So far, over 16,000 Cubans have emigrated to the U.S. through the program.
The Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, Venezuelan program that began in January is “innovative in that you don’t have to have family or friends as sponsors,” Ziff said in an interview with NBC News in Havana. “An NGO, a church, any organization can sponsor an immigrant to go to the United States under the program.”
Ziff said the goal of the program is to have “legal, orderly and safe migration.”
Or as Mayorkas put it, “lawful and flexible”.
But there have been… disagreements about this plan. What if Cuba doesn’t want to be a holding cell for international human trafficking?
Cuba has been roiled in an economic crisis fueled by a decline in tourism since the pandemic, tightened U.S. sanctions and a centralized economic model. Shortages in food, medicine and power are rampant. Inflation has caused the price of basic foods to skyrocket and an ongoing gasoline shortage is leading to hourslong queues.
The U.S. and Cuba held a fresh round of migration talks in Washington last week.
“We touched on the various elements of the migration situation, we discussed the role of the U.S. embassy in Havana in issuing visas,” Ziff said.
Ziff also said the U.S. is “looking for a correct and pragmatic relationship with the Cuban government. There is a realm of interests that we share with Cuba, with the Cuban people.”
“We have a very deep disagreement with the Cuban government on its Human Rights policies and its lack of freedoms on the island, but at the same time we have other interests that are important to us, that we will continue to work on, that are relevant to the U.S. interests in the region,” Ziff said.
That was the sanitized version. Here’s the realpolitik version:
In pioneering workshops, U.S. trains Cuban entrepreneurs to do business

HAVANA, April 6 (Reuters) – U.S. venture capitalist Stacey Brandhorst has traveled Latin America giving advice to fledgling entrepreneurs. But communist-run Cuba, she says, is a tough nut to crack.
“Being an entrepreneur is one thing, but (being one) in Cuba is entirely another,” she recently told a group of around 50 Cubans in a hotel conference room in Havana.
The crowd laughed as Brandhorst, a business adviser from Oklahoma, kicked off a series of in-person seminars last week that the U.S. Embassy in Havana says will offer tips to Cuban entrepreneurs looking to start and run their own businesses.
Sure, the State Department is allying with the private sector of Cuba out of the goodness of its Talmudist heart.
Brandhorst is a director at i2E Inc, a venture capital fund / holdings company that is partnered with the George Kaiser Family Foundation. Supposedly a private not-for-profit, but certainly the kind of NGO that Ziff will be allowing to sponsor migrants.
Benjamin Ziff, the top U.S. diplomat in Havana, told Reuters that private enterprise could take up the slack in an economy going through perhaps its greatest challenge since Castro’s revolution.
“Cuba’s state-run economy has traditionally not delivered, and recently has delivered even less,” Ziff said in an interview. “We want a Cuba that’s democratic, free and prosperous. The prosperous part depends greatly on the private sector.”
Such programs, however, touch a nerve in Havana, where the U.S. embassy is often characterized by officials as meddling in a bid to overthrow the government.
“(The United States) is betting that the private sector, as it grows, will become a faction that opposes the Revolution,” President Miguel Diaz-Canel said ahead of recent March 26 elections in Cuba. “And we won’t let that happen.”
President Diaz-Canel is correct. This is an obvious lead-up to a color revolution. And Ziff can barely be bothered to hide his intentions:
Diplomat Ziff said the United States was seeking ways to ease the burden of U.S. sanctions on private business but in a way that would not inadvertently benefit the Cuban government.
“We are working on it, I don’t know that is something we have achieved completely yet, but it is certainly something that we are trying to do,” he said.
Ziff said the Cuban government, meanwhile, should get out of the way of the private sector.
“The biggest impediment to doing business in Cuba is the Cuban government,” Ziff said. “The recent reforms for small and medium business in Cuba … are a Band-Aid on a much larger wound.”
Well… that wasn’t subtle. And the timing with Mayorkas abandoning the Darien Gap was not likely coincidence.
The Darien Gap is being rerouted through Cuba, and the Cuban government is being directly threatened with color revolution if it doesn’t play ball.
Economic migrants, if he was any kind of American.
I see what you did there.
Every school and gov building is a sanctuary zone and deportations?
We don’t need any stinking deportations.
Si se puede!
The almost all foreigners Brandon regime is fundamental transformation.
I spent some time in Orlando about two months ago. I had to say my final night at an airport hotel the night before returning, and was this outside of the Universal/Disney bubble. What I observed was startling: almost everyone outside of the hotel was Caribbean Hispanic or American Black. I have lived in SoCal and never experienced such a saturation of foreigners. It was pretty much the same with the airport staff. Fortunately I speak Spanish fluently, otherwise I’m not sure I could have communicated with the staff.
