Mexico Helping Unvetted
African Migrants to U.S. Border, Many From Al-Shabaab Terror Hotbed
Hundreds
of African asylum seekers have flooded Mexican border cities with the U.S. in
an effort to get to California and Texas to obtain U.S. asylum — many of the
unvetted migrants are from the terror hotbed of Somalia. Rather than having to
hide along the way, the African migrants have been getting a special permit
from Mexico that gives them a free pass to the U.S. border.
The influx of asylum seekers from African countries who entered
Mexico illegally has been building for several weeks as hundreds of individuals
continue to arrive primarily to Mexicali to cross into Calexico, California, in
order to seek asylum. Mexican immigration authorities have been spotted
ferrying the asylum seekers from shelters and plazas to international bridges
with the U.S.
Mexican immigration authorities have largely kept quiet about the
wave of African migrants who have been entering Mexico through that country’s
southern border and then making their way to the U.S. border to seek asylum.
Some of the cities they seek include Calexico and San Ysidro, California, and
El Paso, Texas.
According
to Mexico’s El Universal African migrants have been entering Mexico
and almost immediately turning themselves in to agents with the National
Immigration Institute (INM).
Once in
custody, the migrants receive a special 20 day pass that gives them the
freedom to move about the country. The purpose of the pass is to allow them to
get to the U.S. border. According to El Universal, INM issues the permit to
individuals from countries that Mexico does not have diplomatic relations with.
The permit makes it easier for the INM to have the migrants leave the country
voluntarily than to deport them to their countries of origin.
During a
one week period in late August, there were 424 African migrants who
turned themselves in to INM agents in the city of Tapachula, Chiapas.
In 2013,
Breitbart Texas Managing Director Brandon Darby warned that the
Mexican border provided “a global pathway” for illegal immigrants from the Horn
of Africa including those from nations with Islamic terror ties such as Somalia.
