“Todd
Bensman of CIS did what virtually no member of the media has done — excepting
one Los Angeles Times reporter I’m aware of — and crossed into Ciudad Acuña to
talk to directly to the migrants on the Mexican side. What he found was
surprising, and shocking. The Haitians reported that they, longtime residents
of Mexico, were abruptly released by Mexican authorities to proceed north and
cross into the United States in mid-September. The reason given: a gift in
celebration of Mexican Independence Day. So they did — by the thousands.
“Someone
orchestrated this.
"Who? To what
end? These are questions a press corps competent to its putative purpose might
pursue. These are questions to which a government genuinely concerned with the
welfare and sovereignty of the United States might demand answers — and
accountability. Neither media nor the federal government will do anything like
that. We are left to ask it ourselves, and we start with the understanding that
if Bensman’s account is accurate, then the Haitian incursion and encampment,
stupendous and alarming as it is, is not the real crisis. Don’t misunderstand
me: it’s a crisis in full, but it’s a crisis covering for something else.
“It’s a feint.”
…
“The Border Patrol no longer comes to Border Patrol Hill.
From this ranch … to the little house in upriver Comstock whose owner was told
to move, because the Border Patrol could offer no protection … to uncounted
homes and communities and territory all across the thousands of miles of
border, there are places and people who are in and of the United States — and
whom the United States no longer protects. Slowly, imperceptibly, federal
authority surrenders sovereignty over a ranch here, a crossing there, a
community there. Bit by bit, the interstitial network of ungoverned America
expands until the day comes that we awaken to find that fifteen thousand
foreign nationals have set up camp and a logistical network on the north bank
of the Rio Grande.”
