Title: African Migrants Find New Route to America, Thanks to Nicaragua and Biden’s Policies
Introduction:
Baba, a skilled mechanic from Mauritania, ecstatically praised Joe Biden’s border control policies as he crossed the Mexican border into Arizona, shouting, “Biden opened the door for us!” However, while Baba thanked Biden, his journey to America was made possible by the actions of another influential figure – Daniel Ortega, the long-time President of Nicaragua. Ortega, known for his alliance with Fidel Castro and hostility towards the United States, has created a soft entry point for migrants from all over the world, including Africa, fueling a surge at the southern border. DailyMail.com’s investigation reveals the role Nicaragua plays in this migrant crisis and sheds light on the loopholes exploited by smugglers.
The Nicaraguan Connection:
Nicaragua has emerged as a key player in the current migrant crisis, granting entry to individuals from various countries worldwide for a mere $160 fee, without background checks or proof of onward travel. Tourist visas are available for a mere $10, allowing nationals from numerous African countries to easily obtain access to Nicaragua’s capital, Managua. Baba claimed to have paid the $160 fee for his entry into Nicaragua, joining the growing number of migrants taking advantage of these lax regulations. Furthermore, Nicaraguan officials turn a blind eye to the flourishing people-smuggling business operating within their borders, effectively enabling a backdoor entry into the United States.
The Role of Smugglers:
Taking advantage of Nicaragua’s lax visa policies, smugglers advertise their services on platforms like TikTok, promising guaranteed entry into the US once migrants arrive at the Mexican border. These posts, often in French, entice potential asylum-seekers with promises of affordable airfare and stress-free entry into America. While it remains unclear who profits from these deals, suspicions arise that Ortega, a long-time adversary of the United States, may be weaponizing the migrant flow to influence the hotly contested upcoming presidential election.
Baba’s Journey and Motivation:
Baba, wearing a Liverpool F.C. jersey, described his arduous 15,000-mile journey from Mauritania to Arizona. Flying from Mauritania to Istanbul, then to Bogota in Colombia, and finally reaching Nicaragua, Baba was still left with a perilous journey through Central America and Mexico. Baba cited “repression” in his homeland as his reason for fleeing, highlighting the lack of freedom of expression and the persistence of widespread slavery, which Mauritania only officially banned in 1981.
Impact and Increasing Numbers:
DailyMail.com witnessed over 600 migrants crossing the border in a single day in Lukeville, Arizona. Border Patrol agents are consistently faced with the daunting task of repairing breaches in the steel fence, while overwhelmed by the continuous influx of migrants from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, as well as Latin American families. In June, 144,000 migrants were detected entering from Mexico, with July’s numbers spiking to 183,000, highlighting the escalating nature of the crisis.
Conclusion:
While Joe Biden’s border control policies have inadvertently facilitated the surge of African migrants, it is essential to recognize the role played by Nicaragua’s lax entry requirements and its failure to curb the people-smuggling business. As the number of migrants increases and the border crisis intensifies, it remains to be seen how the United States will address the challenges posed by these intricate networks and the political motivations of key players like Daniel Ortega.
