Biden-Harris border policies wreak havoc on indigenous tribe, says expert: ‘Pushed aside and destroyed’

Panama's indigenous Embera tribe has had its traditional way of life threatened by three years of mass migration through tribal lands it holds near the infamous Darien Gap.

"What struck me most listening to the five Embera chiefs is how much their concerns reminded me of the past very similar marginalizations of Native American tribes, who were pushed aside and destroyed by gold miners, settlers and U.S. cavalry who prioritized their own narcissistic agendas during the 19th century," Todd Bensman a National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, told Fox News Digital. Michael Lee is a writer for Fox News. Prior to joining Fox News, Michael worked for the Washington Examiner, Bongino.com, and Unbiased America. He has covered politics for more than eight years.

The comments come after Bensman’s recent travels to areas around the famed Darien Gap, a large chunk of nearly inhabitable wilderness stretching through Colombia and Panama. The area also is home to the indigenous territory of the Embera, a 19,000-member tribe of hunters and farmers who now find themselves at the center of broader U.S. border security policy.
