"self deporting since their bennies will disappear"
The UN and NGO's played a psychological game on those crossing the boarder. They had them enter in Ecuador then travel (mostly bus) but some through the Darien park. The point is they made it at least a cumbersome trip. Those that are real people are going to put up some resistance.
Can anyone say: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowds_on_Demand#Criticism It's my belief they're cycling the crowds to make it seem like it's more then what it is. They all drop their ID so they're whomever they say they are. Meaning one person can have a number of new ID's each trip they're likely making good money. Again many are real people.
