Todd Bensman, senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, called into The Michael Patrick Leahy Show while on the ground in southern Mexico as part of his work to document the U.S. border crisis.
Bensman said he is documenting the holding of approximately 300,000-400,000 migrants in the Mexican cities of Tapachula and Villahermosa who collectively have a goal of reaching the U.S. southern border.
The holding of migrants in southern Mexico, Bensman said, is part of a deal the Biden administration made with the Mexican government to decrease the number of border crossings in an effort to avoid negative press coverage leading up to the November 5 general election.
