MEXICO CITY (AP) — More than 260 charter flights believed to be carrying migrants from Haiti have touched down in Nicaragua in recent months, according to flight data and experts in the region, adding to a historic crush of migration by people hoping to reach the U.S.
The flow of migrants has left the Biden administration and Latin American leaders scrambling for solutions, and experts say it's also being used as leverage by governments like Nicaragua’s to get concessions from the U.S. amid tightening sanctions.
“The Ortega government knows they have few important policy tools at hand to confront the United States, ... so they have armed migration as a way to attack," said Manuel Orozco, director of the migration, remittances and development program at the Inter-American Dialogue. “This is definitely a concrete example of weaponizing migration as a foreign policy."
Nicaragua has long been used as a migratory springboard for people fleeing struggling Caribbean nations like Cuba and Haiti as well as countries as far away as Mauritania in Africa, because it is one of the few countries that doesn’t require visas for many of them to enter.
Such flights from Cuba were already gaining steam late last year amid a historic exodus from the island. In August, Orozco said the Nicaraguan government allowed charter airlines to carry out the flights. The journeys are not on official air routes, but flight tracking data that has been analyzed by Orozco and The Associated Press shows that 268 of the charter flights went from Haiti to Nicaragua since the beginning of August.

BUILD THE DAMNED WALL!
Castro reds aiding Nicaraguan Reds to flood the U.S. with agents.
Joe Briben is trying to empty out Haiti and Central America and relocate them to the USA,
Gee this didn’t happen under Trump
Migrants line up on NYC streets to apply for freebies.
Some government bass turds need to go to jail for allowing this to happen. The border patrol needs to be shut down because of the waste of money and let the Bidenskyyyyyys set up an illegal alien welcome wagon run by a bunch of ditzy “Karens”.
Thank a leftist liberal today.
Yuck.......you got that right.
How long can we survive our own stupidity?
Rhetorical:
Why on Earth does no one ever question exactly WHO these “3rd parties” are, let alone the origin of the $$ behind their actions???
i guess word is getting around where to board the democrat bus into amerika
That’s been bothering me too. Where are our crack investigative journalists on this? Democracy dies in darkness and all that.
Unfortunately the village is going to have to ‘burn’ to save it. The best thing could happen is total and severe economic collapse that causes some dynamic where all this third worlders are forced out. Nothing short of that and we rapidly become a brown, third world shithole.
Who is financing this invasion?
Someone is paying for this. Who?
Very bad news here. Then the NGOs will send the Haitians the money and buses to get to the Mexican border.
yep!
Our enemies would be fools not to take advantage of our open border. How many prc, russian, iranian special forces teams are already here and close to their targets. Taking advantage of our current regimes’ obsession with tracking down j6 grandmas, instead of real threats.
Hey, the Democrats are running out of dead voters so they are looking to expand their voter base and I’m sure they will welcome them into the US.
