The Biden administration has announcedan agreementwith Panama and Colombia to reduce illegal migration through the dangerous Darien Gap. Its a jungle chokepoint that illegal migrants headed for the U.S. from South America and beyond have to traverse, often at the cost of their lives. (See the video of apanel discussionthe Center hosted on the subject featuring a local Indian leader, war correspondent Michael Yon, and Representative Tom Tiffany [R., Wis.] who personally visited the area.)

Youll not be surprised that traffic through the Darien hasballoonedin response to Bidens catch-and-release policies at the border. You also wont be surprised that the Biden administration response is not to change the policies that serve as a magnet to illegal immigration, but to try to define away the problem by making the migration legal.

The second of the ambitious goals of the new agreement is: Open new lawful and flexible pathways for tens of thousands of migrants and refugees as an alternative to irregular migration. In other words, come up with legal ways to admit the prospective illegal border-jumpers.

But if genuinely legal means were available, theyd already be using them. Instead, this signals an expansion of what Andy McCarthy aptly calls Bidens Immigration Parole Scam.

But the unlawful use of parole is just the tool. The policy served by that tool is one of de facto unlimited immigration. This administration believes that statutory limits on immigrationare illegitimate, and it will undermine those limits if there are more people who want to come here than can be legally admitted. AsByron Yorkput it a few months ago, Republicans want policies that willstop, or at least dramatically reduce, the flow. Democrats want policies that willaccommodatethe flow.

This is mostly true, but not entirely. There are still Republicans (likeNikki Haleyand evenDonald Trump) who also want to accommodate unlimited flows of immigrants, but, likeGeorge W. Bush, prefer using guest-worker programs rather than immigration parole to do it. But the objective is the same immigration without numerical caps.

Id contrast this with the governor of Florida, who saidlast fall:

And this idea of mass immigration, whether its illegal immigration or whether its just mass immigration through the legal process, like the diversity lottery or chain migration, is not conducive to assimilating people into American society.

More of this please.
