‘Weaponized Migration,’ a Coordinated Effort Playing Out Deep in the Panama Jungle

Mass illegal immigration is being used to ‘destroy the United States politically, culturally, economically, and even geographically,’ says communism expert.

DARIEN GAP, Panama—The ripe smell of garbage baking in the tropical sun mixed with the stench of human waste is one of the first things visitors notice at Bajo Chiquito, one of four large migrant camps in the Darién Gap.

The next is a sea of weary migrants, who hiked from Colombia along the infamous jungle trail, lined up to be processed by Panamanian officials.

One young boy in line with a furrowed brow seems worried. Others stare blankly at ramshackle buildings slapped together with wood, tin, and cinder blocks. They wait patiently in the brutal heat and humidity.

Most of them are coming to the United States aided by the United Nations, its nongovernmental partners, and regimes hostile to the United States.

Experts have said the migrants are being used as a weapon, just as deadly as a missile aimed straight at the United States.

Mass migration is being “weaponized” to overwhelm and destabilize the United States and ultimately break it apart, according to Joseph Humire, who studies unconventional warfare and is the executive director of the Center for a Secure Free Society.

“That’s why I think the term ‘invasion’ is appropriate,” Mr. Humire told The Epoch Times.

Migrant Pawns

Last year, a record 500,000 migrants traveled through the Darién Gap, documents show.

In February, The Epoch Times visited all four migrant camps in Panama: Lajas Blancas, Bajo Chiquito, San Vicente, and Canaán Membrillo.

The United Nations and related nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), which receive millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars, have made mass migration easier by facilitating and augmenting migrant movement with food, shelter, and water.

Reporters spoke with migrants from China, Somalia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Colombia and others who hiked out of the treacherous jungle leading from Colombia into Panama.

Many at the camps suffered from injuries and illnesses such as trench foot and broken limbs. Several complained that the water was untreated at the camps run by the NGOs and that they lacked essential items such as diapers. One migrant told The Epoch Times that food supplied at the camps was stale or spoiled, so he spent $7 to buy a meal from a local vendor.

Others said they were stranded at the camps because they were robbed during their journey or couldn’t pay the $60 needed for the bus ride north.
