Cuba and Nicaragua have opened a new air passageway to the American southern border and thousands of U.S.-bound Cubans have poured through the short-cut while tens of thousands more are reportedly lining up daily in Havana for tickets, according to Spanish-language media reporting.
The visa-free air route to Managua and then the overland journey through Central America and Mexico to the southern border replaces the dangerous sea routes Cubans typically took to South America.
The Cubans Are Coming Because the Cubans Are Coming Because .... The November Havana-Managua deal neatly aligns with a major spike in U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions of Cubans at the Southwest Border, although it's unclear how many flew the route.
Even more weirdly, the American government is serving up these narcotic humanitarian parole inducements even amid indications of other secretive American efforts to have foreign proxies undermine the Cuban flights and flow far south of the border.
So whatever diplomatic moves the Americans might make with other countries to undermine the Havana-Managua flights, the almost guaranteed fantasy outcome of humanitarian release at the U.S. border has got Cubans arriving by air in Nicaragua eager to pay $10,000 per head to get themselves smuggled out of Nicaragua through Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico.
Last week, Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz noted that 1,500 Cubans were apprehended in a single day, double the daily average in February, the Associated Press reported on March 29.
In perhaps one sign of Nicaragua's poke-in-the-eye attitude about what the deal is doing to the Americans, a spokesperson for Nicaragua's Ministry of Tourism swore to the French EFE media outlet, probably even with a straight face, that Cubans would not use Nicaragua as a springboard to the U.S. southern border because they were really just volcano tourists.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
