Southern Border Expert Tells Ben Shapiro Humanitarian Organizations ‘Helping To Line The Pockets’ Of Drug Cartels
Ben Shapiro interviewed a leading expert on the southern border crisis, Anthony Rubin, one of the only journalists to have ever traveled and documented the entire mass migration route from Quito, Ecuador, to the U.S. border.
Asked about the route, Rubin, the founder of muckraker.com, stated, “The whole world is flying into Quito, Ecuador, because it’s got the easiest entry requirements basically of any country in the world. And then from there, they are crossing into Colombia illegally and trekking all the way up to the United States, country by country, crossing through the Darien Gap Jungle … making the way all the way up here aided by the United Nations and associated organizations along the way.”
and,
“And so it’s always kind of shifting and evolving,” he continued. “But as far as the groups that bring you through, the groups that brought us through the Darien Gap, there are many routes that you can take through there. The route that we took was the route that is used by special interest aliens. That would be anybody that’s coming from countries that perhaps harbor terrorists, that have state-sponsored terrorism.”
plus,
And what’s incredible is you have the United Nations and associated organizations that are handing out maps, ‘migration route maps’ to say ‘Here’s where you need to cross into Mexico. Here’s the route you’re going to take or the routes you can take through Mexico. Here’s the different crossing points of the United States.’ And all of those points are controlled by the cartel. It’s known that if you’re going to cross at any of those points, you’re going have to pay a human smuggler that is associated with the drug cartel … that’s the only way you’re actually going to be able to pass through. And so these, quote-unquote, ‘humanitarian organizations’ are really lining or helping to line the pockets of the cartel with millions, perhaps billions of dollars. That’s not an estimate that I made up. Those are legitimate estimates by people who have studied this and crunched the numbers.”

Shannon, condolences on the loss of your dear friend. May pleasant memories help ease the pain of mourning. This is a difficult time.
I must say that the high point of the evening was when my last BFF showed up at the funeral with a dozen homemade venison/pork tamales.
And a bonus dozen yard eggs.
So I guess you know what’s for breakfast tomorrow around here.
Life goes on.
Shannon #32
Me too
Old friends, they mean much more to me than the new friends,
Cause they can see where you are,
And they know where you’ve been.
I’m running out of old friends.
Old Friends they shine like diamonds
Old Friends you can always call
Old Friends Lord you can’t buy ’em
You know it’s Old Friends after all
Shannon, so sorry for the loss of your friend.
Attended the funeral of a special friend this evening
It doesn’t get any easier.
But knowing that he was a Christian always helps.
A lot.
Rest In Peace, Mike Satterwhite, you “old bastard.” 🙂
I can only imagine that phone call: /phone rings/ Dad: “Hey, son! Everything all right?” Teen: “It’s all good now.” Mom: “What do you mean ‘now’ ?” Teen: “I shot a guy, but it’s okay. He deserved it.” Dad: “What the ****!?” Teen: “I’m explaining it to the cops. Boy you should’a seen his face!” Mom: “Whose face? The cop’s?”… Read more »

#23 Shannon: It is tragic that a 14 year old had to terminate a miscreant. He should be hailed as a hero for helping to cleanse our society.
The bullet catcher will not be a parasite on society anymore.
Somewhere in Houston today a guy was walking around a neighborhood trying to kick in doors to burgle homes.
He came to the wrong door and a home-alone 14-year-old opened the door and blew him away.
Bang, bang, out go the lights.
I’ve pretty much ignored the Fani Willis story from the beginning, not knowing any of the details other than there was an affair and she’s in real trouble for lying to a court about financial improprieties with her hired Stud.
Ace has extensive coverage about her testimony in a court hearing today. Lot’s of live clips.
If you’re interested.
I haven’t done anything at all today. Got up late, fed cats, spent a couple of hours reading animal rescue stories on Facebook, went back to bed.
Oh, you’re back. Thanks SQK.
Michael Berry reports that Texas Speaker Dade Phelan is down by 19% to one of his primary challengers.

I wonder if our command staff of the armed services have learned a single thing since this event?
I don’t think encouraging trannies counts as a positive. . .

Yeah, what he said.
My pleasure Bones.
Thank you Mr. Squawk for your diligent efforts.

The headline article I posted about Ecuador and the illegal alien trail has some hair-raising accounts by the subject of Shapiro’s piece.

Finally parking my ample behind at the computer. I finished with my asparagus bed this morning, spreading the bags of dirt that Hubby purchased for me yesterday, and collecting many, many leaves to put a thick mulch layer on top of all that. I’m doing more gardening from a chair these days, but that’s what it takes. I’m amazed what… Read more »

Well at first glance I thought it was Texpat on the left and Shannon on the right. Rumors that is me in the center are greatly exaggerated.

Texpat, from what I’ve seen/heard, that sounds like a normal day for that particular performer – I refuse to call her any name to do with comedy because she’s one of the least funny performers I’ve ever heard.
