CIS in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas

CIS analyst Todd Bensman is in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, which borders on Guatemala, to assess the state of a December 2023 Biden-Harris administration diplomatic bargain for Mexico to “internally deport” aspiring U.S. border-crossers to its southern states. This secretive move, combined with mass “lawful” admissions via parole, dramatically reduced illegal crossings that were politically damaging the Democrat party’s re-election prospects for the November 5 elections.
As a result of the Christmas deal, Mexico launched an aggressive military campaign to round up migrants from its northern states bordering on the U.S. and bus or fly them to the southern Mexican border states of Chiapas and Tabasco. No American reporter or writer has yet gone to these regions to examine what is happening in them.
Bensman travels to the key city of Tapachula, Chiapas, to provide an inside look at the trapped aspiring border-crossers. He provides analyses of what is likely to happen there after the November 5 U.S. elections.

Biden-Harris did THIS for election optics, in December got Mexico to haul thousands of immigrants here in Tapachula and sardine-can trap them to claim low US crossings and keep them off US media during the campaign. Been here five times and never seen so many as this. Stay tuned. pic.twitter.com/hAil9xHL84
