WATCH A SEVEN-MINUTE EXCERPT OF BENSMAN EXPLAINING HIS BOOK HERE

“I think you hit the nail on the head Todd when you said there’s equally two wrong reactions to this problem set, that there’re folks to under-value, underestimate this whole thing and say, ‘well, that’s ridiculous if you were to say there are Middle Easterners coming through Central America up through to the border. When it’s truly documented – you’ve done a lot of the great work documenting – that the intelligence community has this intelligence.

Not just by reading what’s on the Internet but you actually go to these countries, interview the migrants, you talk to local officials. You get documents from these officials. And you analyze everything. And a lot of that is in this book. So I highly recommend everyone to purchase this book. I

It probably has some of the most inciteful, first-hand accounts of what’s going on with our immigration all throughout Latin America and up through to the border and how that migration chain has evolved and can be abused by nefarious actors that are looking to basically sneak illicit actors into the United States.
