Panama's president, Jos Ral Mulino, has issued a stark warning about the grim consequences of President Joe Biden's open border policy, which he claims is leaving a trail of "decomposing corpses" in his country.
Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, Mulino highlighted the perilous journey migrants undertake through the Darien Gap from Colombia to Panama, a journey many fail to survive.
According to Gateway Pundit, Mulino stated in his address, "Today Panama faces a huge problem due to its strategic location: illegal immigration through the Darin jungle, which is being used as a key for hundreds of thousands of migrants who have been fleeing from serious economic, political and social problems in search of the so-called American dream." He further implored the international community to recognize the magnitude of the crisis, expressing his country's need for more support to handle the distressing humanitarian situation, the financial burden, the security risks, and the environmental devastation left in its wake.
Mulino, who assumed office in July following a successful campaign on a conservative platform, has prioritized the closure of migratory routes through the Darien Gap. This dense, lawless stretch of jungle, spanning 60 miles, has become a key transit point for migrants aiming to reach the U.S. southern border. Mulino believes that shutting down this route would significantly alleviate the influx of migrants into the U.S., which has seen over 10 million individuals enter the country since Biden's administration took over in 2021.
The migrants traversing the Darien Gap hail from various countries, but an increasing number are fleeing from Venezuela. These individuals are escaping the severe economic and humanitarian crisis in their homeland, a crisis that has persisted since the socialist revolution led by Hugo Chavez. Mulino's call for international support underscores the dire need for a comprehensive solution to this complex issue, one that respects the sovereignty of nations and the dignity of individuals seeking a better life.
