Up to 3,000 migrants would routinely cross the dangerous region every day until illegal immigration plummeted by 94% following President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, according to February 2025 data from Panama’s National Migration Service.
It’s utterly ■■■■■■■ disgusting what the Harris/Biden Administration facilitated though! What do you think of this @PurpnGold?
Crowds of illegal immigrants who trekked through the vast jungle region between Colombia and Panama known as the Darien Gap while making their way to the U.S. southern border left behind heaps of garbage, gasoline and fecal matter, which South American officials say has resulted in an environmental crisis in the region.
Communities surrounding the Darien Gap in Villa Caleta fear bathing in the river following the migration surge due to the pollution and garbage, the AP reported. Their main food source, fish, is scarce due to the water polluted by gasoline from the boats. Locals also saw decomposing bodies floating down the Turquesa, according to the publication.
“The fish we catch, they still smell of gasoline,” community leader Cholino de Gracia told the AP. “We can’t fish anymore because you’d practically be eating a fish full of gasoline.”
Beyond the trash, gasoline and dead bodies floating down the river, officials told the AP that tests show critical contamination levels due to copious amounts of fecal coliform bacteria in the water, which is typically associated with human excrement.
The 2,500 tons of trash left behind in the region by migrants traveling to the U.S. southern border during former President Joe Biden’s term has amassed a $12 million cleanup cost, according to the Associated Press.
“[The United States is] not cleaning up their mess,” Panamanian Environmental Minister Juan Carlos Navarro told the AP. “If the United States is responsible because it opened its borders, then the United States should pay for it.”
This type of information continues to show anyone whose intellectually honest what utter ■■■■■■■ disgusting people today’s Dems are and what a bunch of ■■■■■■■ phonies that they are. Maybe all those that voted for Harris/Biden should volunteer to clean up their mess!
The spin by the Left and all forum libs was that nothing could be done about the border without the so-called “bipartisan” border bill. Without that bill there would be NO CHOICE by whomever is president but to mass parole EVERYONE who shows up at the border and says the magic words “Asylum Seeker!” This shouldn’t be even remotely possible:
“Under Joe Biden, it was an average, most days, an average, 70% — seven zero — 70% of agents were no longer on patrol. They were changing diapers, making baby formula, making hospital runs. The last time I went down there before the election, I talked to hundreds of border patrol agents and told them to hang on, hang on. Change is coming. I really think President Trump’s going to win. But they told me, ‘No, we’re sick of being tour stations. We’re sick of being Uber drivers,’” Homan recalled demoralized agents saying.
