Bensman Excerpt: “A lot of the immigrants who are coming in and being waved through the turnstyle are fairly well-off and can afford passenger airline tickets to go wherever they want because, you know, they don’t want to have to take the bus. The buses are… uncomfortable. Here’s what’s really happening: With the Haitians and Cubans and extra-continental migrants… they have been living for years already in places like Chile and Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador and making good livings and have housing and security and have done very well. A lot of them live in Mexico and they work in the Mercados and they do quite well. They were quite content to live there in peace and harmony and certainly free of government persecution of any kind. With asylum and refugee status in those countries. What happened was Biden was elected and said he was going to open up the gate and they were like ‘hey, this is an opportunity to improve more. We’ll do even better in the United States. So they picked up very well established lives in Brazil and Guyana… Bolivia, Ecuador and moved here instead. That’s why you see these guys having gold chains and I-phone 12s and all the rest. They were hardly destitute, or threatened or persecuted. It was just like ‘hey, we’re already in this pretty good place. Let’s move to an even better place.’ And that is what is happening with the Haitians and a lot of the Cubans. That explains why they can buy air tickets.”
