In an age of Intersectionality, a doctrine that divides the world into the oppressed and oppressors, adherents view open-borders and unfettered mass migration as some sort of “historical justice” for those they categorize as Western colonizers.
Americans, the argument goes, are living on “stolen land” and, therefore, have no moral right to protect their own borders. But this argument – like so many other pro-mass-migration narratives – falls apart when confronted by reality. Such is the case with mass illegal immigration causing real-world, demonstrable harm to indigenous tribes throughout the Americas.
Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies traveled to Panama’s Darien Gap and interviewed the five chiefs of the Embera-Wounaan tribe. The Darien Gap, where the tribe’s lands are located, has seen a flood of illegal aliens pass through it under the Biden-Harris administration, whose open-borders policies have encouraged the influx. In fact, based on Panamanian government data, over 90 percent of illegal crossings through the Darien Gap since 2010 occurred from January 2021 to August 2024, which totaled almost 1.2 million foreign nationals (see annual data under the “Transito Irregular por Darien” tab).
