Quote:Panama to launch deportation flights to China and India, as well as regional neighbors

Panama will deport over 100 people from China, India, Ecuador and Colombia, in a widening crackdown on the number of migrants traveling north through Central America, President Jose Mulino announced on Thursday.

The deportation flights are part of Panama’s partnership with the US that aims to discourage irregular migration northward – a growing phenomenon in recent years.

Panama plans to send 70 people to India on September 3, and an unspecified number of Chinese migrants, Mulino said without providing details.

Flights carrying dozens of Ecuadorians and Colombians will also depart in the coming days, he said, noting that Ecuadorians represent the second-largest group of migrants in the region, after Venezuelans.

Twenty-nine Colombians were already sent back on an earlier flight under the same program.

Background:
The Darien Gap is a 50-mile stretch of dense jungle with no roads or towns between Columbia and Panama. In recent years human traffickers have established routes through it for people trying to immigrate to the USA. In 2023, over 520,000 migrants came through the Darien Gap.

In the past few years, Asians have been flying to Ecuador (which is the only South American country that allows Chinese visitors without a visa) & then walking through the Darien Gap, then making their way to the USA. In the first 9 months of 2023, over 15,000 Chinese made this trip (source).

Panama is arguably the second richest Spanish speaking country (roughly tied with Uruguay and Chile). It's also been an international crossroads for centuries years with great cultural support for integrating immigrants into society. So although most migrants move on to the US border, enough end up staying that it could very quickly overrun such a small country's (~4 million people) capacity to absorb them without losing public support for the policies that made Panama wealthy in the first place (namely, its de facto alliance with the USA and its relatively free markets).

Of note: Panama does not have any armed forces. So any violence is handled by the police department (which is one nationwide department). I visited there recently and everyone I spoke to said that they're not worried about invasion or international security because the US will step in and fix it before it gets out of hand.

This is important for us, because Panama is the 1st or 2nd most important country in the world for the USA to ensure is on our side, because the Canal is such a gigantic asset to the US Navy and US maritime commerce.

But when Trump announces this, he's called a racist.

They don't want to get stuck with the world's scumbags when Trump closes the border in a few months.

We should bomb them and start a war. They are human rights abusers according to globalist thinking.
