We have witnessed it time and time again. Leftists who initiate their disastrous policies but never seem to be able to look at the long-term effects of those decisions. It’s as if they are incapable of seeing beyond next week. We were told that the invasion at the southern border was just people looking for a better life. But in reality it was also a large number of criminals looking to prey on American citizens. Leftists constantly lecture us about the importance of the environment. Now, another long-term effect of illegal immigration is coming to light, but those same harping environmentalists don’t seem to be anywhere to be found.
The Darien Gap once traversed by thousands of illegal immigrants daily, is now largely deserted—but officials in Panama face a $12 million cleanup of the human waste, trash, and pollution they left behind.
