\u201cSweeping\u201d immigration strategies<\/a> announced by Vice President Kamala Harris and the White House this summer are not slowing the flow of migrants to the U.S. If anything, they are facilitating greater movement as larger and more organized caravans<\/a> roll up through South and Central America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July,\nHarris unveiled plans to address what she calls root causes of global\nmigration: economic insecurity and inequality; political corruption; gang\nactivity; and sexual and gender-based violence. She made no mention of\nstrategies to actually curb illegal immigration. Nor were timelines or specific\nactions announced. But Mexico, Japan (?) and South Korea (??) were said to be\non board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the White House revealed a Collaborative Migration Management Strategy<\/a> to \u201cstrengthen migration management with regional partners.\u201d It outlined how the U.S. would work with other countries \u201cto manage safe, orderly and humane migration in North and Central America.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps America\u2019s southern\nneighbors haven\u2019t gotten the memos. More likely, the Biden-Harris\nadministration\u2019s idea of safe, orderly and humane migration is simply to \u201cmanage\u201d\nan increasing volume of migrants heading north. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the White House and its border czar shuffle policy papers, the Center for Immigration Studies reports that Colombia, Panama and other nations are opening the floodgates. As Todd Bensman<\/a> of the Center for Immigration Studies found in the field: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cColombia allows thousands of\nmigrants from all over the world to pool up on edge of the Darien wilderness\nroute to Panama, then tolerates a significant smuggling industry that guides\nthese migrants by foot out through the gap into Panama. The Panamanian\ngovernment coordinates and organizes commercial buses to drive the migrants to\nthe Costa Rica border and drop them at the town of Paso Canoas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe migrants Panama dropped\noff in Paso Canoas find taxis and buses to the far northwestern town of La Cruz\nor the northeastern town of Los Chiles, where phalanxes of taxi smugglers fish\nthem from bus stations and take them to smuggling groups in Nicaragua, often\npaying off Nicaraguan soldiers who were part of the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so\nit goes, day in and day out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nso-called \u201ccontrolled flow\u201d of migrants may marginally benefit some countries,\nbut none of it is in the U.S. interest. A policy that incentivizes Central\nAmerican nations to deter and deport migrants en route would be far more\neffective than the diversionary hyperbole Biden-Harris are dishing out while\nevermore migrants come to this country to stay (bona fide asylum claims\noptional).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As things stand, this\nadministration\u2019s weak defense of our southern border and its unserious approach\nto immigration enforcement speak louder to America\u2019s \u201cregional partners\u201d than\nall the pretty policy pronouncements emanating from Washington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
