EXCLUSIVE: Inside The Secret Migrant Hideout Run By Catholic Nuns On The Mexican Border - and a dramatic ringside seat on Biden's utterly cynical under-the-radar 'crackdown' that's his last throw of the dice to cling on to the White House
PIEDRA NEGRAS,
MEXICO - At least two hundred and twenty Venezuelans, Colombians, and Ecuadorians crowd inside the cramped cement block, barbed wire-rimmed Casa Del Migrante compound.
It's a makeshift shelter run by Catholic nuns.
Kids in filthy pajamas play with trash in the dirt yard.
Families guard their belongings stuffed in black garbage bags and piled in heaps.
There's a bucket of water for washing hands and a cinder block building with two toilets – for everyone.
'We're protected only inside the shelter,' a Central American man tells me, explaining no one even dares to step foot outside the walls of the Catholic charity to buy snacks at the store across the road.
'Out on the street, they can capture us,' he says. 'But they cannot come in here.'
Mexican law prevents the authorities from entering a religious facility.
Inside Migrant House, these people are hidden away from roaming patrols of the Mexican army, state police, and national immigration service officers, who are finally now forcibly transporting them 1,500 miles south into southern Mexico.
BENSMAN: I traveled to Piedra Negras and what I found cuts to the heart of President Joe Biden's utterly cynical, dangerous and destructive immigrant non-policy.
