Question. How were millions of illegals able to enter Panama from Columbia and cross over the canal?

I think we need an answer to that question before we make any deal with the Panamanian government. Even if they kick out the Chinese, what role did the Panamanian government play in enabling the millions who trekked northwards to the U.S. through Panama? If we control the canal, we can prevent mass migration from South America, through Mexico, and on to the U.S. border. Think of it as another border wall in addition to the big one on our southern border.
Take back the American Canal and block the Darian Gap. Screw this Panamanian idiot.
