REPORT: 35,000 MORE Africans on way to US via South America - The American Mirror
CIS Report: 35K Africans Heading for U.S. Border
The news that Congolese possibly infected with Ebola virus were streaming across the southwest border of the United States with the tsunami of Central American migrants was bad enough.
Even worse is the latest report from the Center for Immigration Studies: 35,000 Africans are tramping north for the U.S. border in the hope of ensconcing themselves in U.S. sanctuary cities.
They’re headed this way through the Darién Gap, a 66-mile long swath of rough territory in the borderlands of Colombia and Panama.
More False Asylum Claims
The 35,000 Cameroonians, Ghanaians, and Congolese, along with Haitians, Cubans, and some from the Middle East, are “on an infamous migrant passage through which migrants have long funneled from South America to North America: the Darien Gap,” wrote Tod Bensman, a national security fellow at CIS.
Bensman heard the news from two in-country sources: Panama-based author and freelance journalist Chuck Holton, and Diane Edrington, a nurse who volunteers for Panama Missions and recently returned from the area. Holton’s figure of 35,000 came from government sources.
The migrants land in Ecuador and head north.
