Fun fact: The document released in January by Speaker Mike Johnson, titled “64 Biden Actions To Weaken The Border,” has been removed from the Speaker’s website. 😲
Pelosi and House Democrats Refused to Hear From Experts in 2022 about How the United Nations, Non-Profit Advocacy Groups and Criminal Human Smuggling Cartels COLLABORATED to OVERRUN U.S. BORDER
In February 2022, the House Freedom Caucus held a panel to hear bombshell testimony about the growing mass migration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Caucus chair Scott Perry explained that the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, had refused to green-light an official hearing and had even refused to allow the caucus to use a Congressional hearing room to hold the panel.
Todd Bensman, Senior National Security Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies, detailed his investigation into the United Nations’ activities on the migration trail, and he shared evidence of how UN agencies appeared to be colluding with non-governmental organizations and human smuggling gangs.
Bensman testified the UN was offering cash handouts, pre-paid debit cards, and even legal and psychological counseling to coach “migrants” in how to answer immigration authorities’ questions about persecution in their home countries.
Part of the audio from Bensman’s testimony has been censored or corrupted, but I have reconstructed the missing segment [italicized] from his written notes.
Bensman testified:
“I have interviewed hundreds of the immigrants, most recently on an eight-day fact-finding journey to the Guatemala-Mexico border city of Tapachula. From my vantage point, I can confidently report that there is but one root cause that they — the immigrating foreign nationals — most often cite for coming now.
“It is that President Joe Biden opened the American southern border wide to them.
“They see, over their cell phone social media, many hundreds of thousands who have gone before secure quick releases and resettlement into America.
“And they decide to also gamble huge smuggling fee investments that criminal smuggling gangs will get them in to stay, too.
“With such an enticing, motivating return on smuggling investment, no thinking person should wonder why this global migration hit the all-time national record of nearly two million border patrol apprehensions in a single year. With probably 500,000 more gotaways, and that’s an undercount.
“But the Caucus should also know that ‘non-profit advocacy groups — and more notably the United Nations — appear to be working side-by-side with the criminal smuggling organizations on the very same mission.
“United Nations agencies such as the International [Organization for] Migration (IOM) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) are providing hard cash, food, shelter, legal services, psychological services — all along the migrant trails.
“Which also materially facilitate journeys that everyone involved very well knows, despite any protestations to the contrary, always lead to an illegal American border-crossing.
“In whatever small or large way, the United Nations and the non-profits it funnels money to can reasonably be said to contribute to the current mass migration crisis.
“I found my first clue on a Rio Grande riverbank, on the Mexican side: A discarded UNHCR-stamped booket advising in great detail how migrants can and should travel north for the greatest chance of safety and success. Later, in Reynosa, Mexico, I witnessed the United Nations grantee, the IOM, hand out cash debit cards to migrants in long, snaking lines. The workers handing them out said they give $400 every 15 days to families of four, renewable every two weeks.
“The UN tells me only the most vulnerable get this cash. But in Reynosa and again most recently in Tapachula, Mexico, where I saw the same long lines at the UNHCR office, nothing about them indicated acute vulnerability. They were regular family units of the sort crossing by the tens of thousands right now. Some showed me their debit cards there, too, and said were it not for this money they might have to leave the migrant trail and go home.
“Further inquiry showed the cards are just part of a vast and sharply escalating UN program called ‘Cash-Based Interventions’ all along the migrant trail through Latin America.
“According to the UN documents and migrants, these include the unrestricted, unconditionally useable plastic cash cards, and also cash-filled envelopes in some areas (never a good look — cash filled envelopes), money transfers for lodging, pharmaceutical prescriptions, and for something called ‘movement assistance’, which means transportation money to move forward when camps empty and reform further north.
“Credible reporting shows that the UN is providing these forms of assistance all along the migrant trail, from South America to Texas. On a Cúcuta to Bogotá, Colombia segment, the UN was seen handing out food, clothing, and necessities worth an estimated $200 to $300 a day per migrant.
“And then there’s important non-cash assistance keeping migrants on the U.S. trail.
“In Tapachula, approval for Mexican asylum these days is important for permission to move legally beyond the southern provinces (where I was) — always to the U.S. border, of course. But many coming in from Guatemala innocently tell Mexican immigration they’re going for U.S. jobs — which is not an eligible asylum claim, so they get denied.
“But I found a UN-funded solution recently. The manager of a UN-funded migrant advocacy center told me a full-time staff of certified psychologists helps these migrants recover ‘repressed memories’ of more eligible government persecution. This manager told me in a recorded conversation that his group also trains migrants on the front end of the process how to pass muster with Mexican asylum interviewers the first time around.
“He said these operations produce a 90 percent success rate for thousands a year. Other UN-funded psychologists offer what sounds like similar work. If this is all true, the UNHCR in Mexico has found another way to keep thousands more on the trail over the American border.
“Many can, and, will defend this UN assistance as lifesaving, but others who learn of it reasonably interpret it — [*SEE BELOW FOR CONTINUATION OF THE WRITTEN STATEMENT] — in a very different way, and they want to know more, of course.
“However Americans want to interpret this assistance to migrants they undoubtedly know they are joining an historic mass migration. All Americans deserve to know the full extent of it, because the United States is the UN’s largest donor and the U.S. Congress appropriates a huge amount of money to the UN every year.
“I also would mention that the border is a national security concern. Just recently I was able to report that a Venezuelan crossed the Rio Grande from Matamoros to Brownsville, and that the FBI wanted that FBI-watchlisted individual held, and that ICE headquarters here in Washington, DC, intervened and demanded that, ordered that he be cut loose because he might get Covid in detention. That individual is now living freely, pursuing an asylum claim in Detroit. Thank you.”

“— as material support for mass illegal migration.
“However Americans interpret UN assistance in the new context of a historic mass migration event, public debate in the American square is necessary because the United States is the UN’s largest donor. In 2019, the last year in which expenditures are fully known, the executive branch and Congress separately allocated $11 billion, $5.5 billion of which filled accounts that fund migration and refugee support activities, Congressional Research Services recently reported.
“It’s unclear what the U.S. will contribute in 2022. The Biden administration proposes $3.7 billion, and it remains to be seen what Congress will want to appropriate separately.”
For FY 2025 CONGRESS MUST CUT FUNDING TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT BUREAU OF POPULATION, REFUGEES AND MIGRATION (PRM) which funds “migration and refugee assistance” programs including IOM and UNHCR.
Guatemalan journalist @JeanLaeward exposes USAID’s shady cash network from the U.S. State Department, to USAID in Guatemala, to a UN commission to combat impunity, to the four winds.
According to Laeward, billions in U.S. dollars allocated to eradicate criminal drug trafficking networks in Guatemala was diverted to other interests, under the supervision of former U.S. State Department official Todd D. Robinson.
A December 25, 2024 report from Ryan Matta’s substack explains: “The experimental concept of CICIG [the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala] was not a bad one. Its lack of checks and balances and its weaponized use against political targets was. The disheartening irony is that the ‘fight against corruption’ was usurped and used to violate the laws of Guatemala, bribe witnesses, bury cases for money, and create a system of immunity for members of ‘the Semilla’,” a corrupt group that now refers to itself, according to Matta, as Guatemala’s “government in exile.”
Laeward says that in October 2023, with funding from USAID, Semilla hijacked Guatemala, paralyzing the economy.
“Today, after a series of disastrous policies and outright robberies, the people are rising up against those who plundered Guatemala.”
TATE: I became a multimillionaire by creating a webcam [porn] studio. By taking girls who had never been on webcam before … [and who] didn’t have the will … to make money with this exchange.
I created a system that allowed me to convince girls to do this, allowed me to retain one hundred percent control of their income, allowed me to make sure they were effective … I learned every tip and trick it takes to make sure a girl gets paid. I know how to make sure the girl can’t run away. Because once you teach a girl how to do this, she has the ability to earn unlimited money from home. Why would she give it to you? Why wouldn’t she just run off?
CROKIN: I don’t think it’s black and white, with him. … I think there’s a lot of truth to every viewpoint on his situation. …
I guess he was involved in kind of encouraging girls to do OnlyFans type of stuff.
I actually would really like to see him come out and, you know, um, speak out against that. And say that, you know, that was something he did in his past that was a mistake. You know, he regrets that. …
Did he do anything that was criminal? I’m not sure, because I’ve heard that, you know, when he was doing his business, you know, he was in a country where the legal age of consent was 16. Um, but I didn’t know about the other girl possibly being 15. If she was, clearly that’s wrong, and it sounds like illegal, to me.
I just don’t know enough about that to know if he has done anything criminal.
I’ve also heard that there’s no victims that have come forward.
I do believe that he is being unfairly persecuted. …
Based off of what I’ve investigated about him, what he did comes nowhere close to what Hillary Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein and their associates are guilty of.
I would love to see him ask for redemption. And to say, you know, porn isn’t the way, I regret doing this, any of the women, you know, that I brought into this, I’m sorry.
MAGA is a very forgiving community. And I would like to see him encourage women to, you know, not get involved in porn, and to respect their bodies, and respect themselves.
(Hey @LizCrokin, convincing women to do porn when they don’t have the will is recruitment. Doing it under the false pretense of a favor for a romantic partner is deception. Retaining their money is use of payment to control someone. Making sure they can’t run away is slavery. Andrew Tate literally confessed to being a trafficker, and you want to claim he’s being unfairly persecuted? REALLY? Other evidence of Tate’s violence, including his habit of strangling while raping his girlfriends, is circulating online. He doesn’t just pimp and enslave young women and girls. He teaches other men how to do it, too. This is not MAGA, and if someone in the MAGA movement wants to go easy on Andrew Tate, that is not someone we can trust.)
Tate joined Rumble after he was deplatformed by Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube for “harmful content.”
On the week of August 22, 2022 Tate announced a “mass exodus” to the platform. Daily users on Rumble surged 45.3% compared to the previous week.
Are the Rumble investors close to Trump the reason why Alina Habba and others have been defending the Tate brothers with an absurd free speech argument that is completely disconnected and irrelevant to the criminal investigations for trafficking and rape?
🔥Americans need to understand the role of the GOP-led House Foreign Affairs Committee in facilitating the invasion of the United States during the 118th Congress (2023-2024).
Investigations published by the Center for Immigration Studies beginning in late 2021 document how U.S. taxpayer dollars designated for UN-led operations on the migration trails in Latin America and elsewhere encourage and facilitate illegal “migration” to our borders.
In FY 2024 the House Foreign Affairs Committee approved nearly $10 billion for “Refugee and Migration Assistance.”
This letter from April 2024, which I published on my Substack, explains how funding earmarked for “humanitarian assistance” is used to facilitate illegal immigration, with footnotes and links to primary source documentation.
Foreign Affairs was chaired by Rep. Michael McCaul, and the House Appropriations Committee was chaired by Rep. Kay Granger during the 118th Congress.
THEY KNEW AND THEY CONTINUED FUNDING ANYWAY.

“Nothing illustrates more vividly how U.S.-funded UN agencies and NGOs facilitate illegal mass migration than the large, full-color folding maps disclosed by @realmuckraker that detail the routes to take to the U.S. and where to cross the U.S. border.”
According to CIS’s @BensmanTodd, a new budget planning document for 2025 shows that the United Nations intends to hand $259 million to migrants in the form of cash debit cards, “cash in envelopes,” and bank transfers to support their needs along the migration routes. 🤯
NORMAN DODD (1899–1987) was an investment banker and independent researcher. In 1953 he was asked to serve as Director of Research for the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations, a/k/a the
💥REECE COMMITTEE💥
It was formed during the McCarthy era to investigate “unAmerican activities” — which Dodd defined as “a determination to effect changes in the country by unconstitutional means.”
Tax-exempt foundations and comparable institutions (including what we call today “non-governmental organizations” and 501(c)(3) non-profit corporations) were investigated to ensure that their aims and activities were consistent with their tax-exempt status.
In a 1982 interview with @GEdward_Griffin, Dodd shared facts he uncovered during his investigation that did not appear in the Congressional committee’s final report.
Dodd told Griffin that in a conversation with Rowan Gaither, then President of the Ford Foundation (and co-founder of the RAND Corporation), Dodd was told the following:
“Mr. Dodd, all of us who have a hand in the making of policies, here, have had experience either with the OSS during the war, or with European economic administration after the war. We have had experience operating under directives. These directives emanate, and did emanate, from the White House…. Mr. Dodd, we are here to operate in response to similar directives, the substance of which is that we shall use our grant-making power so to alter life in the United States, that it can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union.”
Dodd went on to relate the story of Kathryn Casey, an attorney on Dodd’s research team. Casey was assigned to investigate the Carnegie Endowment by reading the handwritten minute books for the Endowment, which was founded in 1908. Casey spent several weeks “spot reading” sections of the minutes covering time periods that Dodd had flagged, and she recorded her findings via Dictaphone.
Dodd relates that during their first meeting in 1908, the Carnegie Endowment trustees “raise a specific question, which they discuss throughout the balance of the year, in a very learned fashion. And the question is: Is there any means known [that is] more effective than war — assuming you wish to alter the life of an entire people? And they conclude that no more effective means than war, to that end, is known to humanity. So then, in 1909, they raise the second question, and discuss it: namely, how do we involve the United States in a war?”
And finally, “they answer that question as follows: we must control the State Department.”
Casey found that after World War I, the minutes of the Carnegie Endowment trustees reflect a shift in their interests to prevent what Dodd calls “a reversion of life in the United States to what it was prior to 1914, when World War I broke out.”
Dodd explains that the trustees decided they “must control education in the United States.” Realizing the task was too big for them alone, the Carnegie Endowment enlisted the assistance of the Rockefeller Foundation and the Guggenheim Foundation. Together they focused on the teaching of American history, and worked to cultivate their own “stable” of American history professors who would support their agenda:
“The future of this country belongs to collectivism, administered with characteristic American efficiency.”

According to Dodd, Kathryn Casey “was never able to return to her law practice. If it hadn’t been for Carroll Reece’s ability to tuck her away in a job with the Federal Trade Commission, I don’t know what would have happened to Kathryn. Ultimately, she lost her mind as a result of it. It was a terrible shock to her. It is a very rough experience, for her to encounter proof of this kind.”

🔥🧵/1 In the corruption of our borders, many names have emerged as having played a direct role.
Let’s take a look at one whose part in the border crisis you may not have heard about:
💥JAKE SULLIVAN💥
Biden’s Executive Order 14010, issued in February 2021, is titled “Creating a Comprehensive Regional Framework to Address the Causes of Migration, to Manage Migration throughout North and Central America, and to Provide Safe and Orderly Processing of Asylum Seekers at the United States Border.”
Section 2 of the EO directs the “Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs” (also known as the National Security Advisor) to prepare two strategy documents:
(i) the United States Strategy for Addressing the Root Causes of Migration (the “Root Causes Strategy”); and
(ii) the United States Strategy for Collaborative Management of Migration in the Region (the “Collaborative Management Strategy”).
According to the White House Transition Project (2009), “ideally, the national security advisor serves as an honest broker of policy options for the president in the field of national security, rather than as an advocate for his or her own policy agenda.”
Read on to learn more about how Sullivan strategized to “manage” migration …
🧵/2 Per the Executive Order, the primary objectives of the Collaborative Management Strategy were to “manage” migration and to provide “safe and orderly processing of asylum seekers” — NOT to prevent or discourage mass numbers of undocumented people from approaching our borders, although there is some attention given to resettling migrants in countries close to their own home countries.
According to the EO, the Strategy “shall identify and prioritize actions to strengthen cooperative efforts to address migration flows, including by expanding and improving upon previous efforts to resettle throughout the region those migrants who qualify for humanitarian protection.”
“The Collaborative Management Strategy should focus on programs and infrastructure that facilitate access to protection and other lawful immigration avenues, in both the United States and partner countries, as close to migrants’ homes as possible.”
“To support the development of the Collaborative Management Strategy, the United States Government shall promptly begin consultations with civil society, the private sector, international organizations, and governments in the region, including the Government of Mexico.”
“These consultations should address … humanitarian assistance, including through expansion of shelter networks, to address the immediate needs of individuals who have fled their homes to seek protection elsewhere in the region.”
From the July 29, 2021 Collaborative Migration Management “Fact Sheet,” it is clear that the aim was to expand migration and create “LAWFUL PATHWAYS” to the United States, not to discourage or prevent illegal immigration.
The Fact Sheet explains that implementation of the Strategy would involve enlisting support from:
🔹governments in and outside the region
🔹international organizations
🔹civil society
🔹the private sector
🔹multilateral organizations
🔹international financial institutions
🔹members of U.S. Congress and their staff
🔹labor unions
(This is starting to look familiar…) 🤔
🧵/3 The 13-page Strategy document begins by acknowledging “the humanitarian situation in the Northern Triangle” (El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras) caused by “long-standing … violence, lack of employment opportunities and corruption” as well as more recent events like “the COVID-19 pandemic, recurrent droughts, and two hurricanes in November 2020” as predicates to launch “both immediate responses and a new, strategic approach for managing regional migration in the medium- to long-term.”
Note 1: With the possible exception of targeted violence, none of the above factors constitutes lawful grounds for asylum under U.S. or international law.
Note 2: President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, who took office in June 2019, has dramatically reduced violent crime in his country by reforming the criminal justice system.
