Criminals And Cannibals: Is The US About To Repeat The Caribbean Migrant Crisis Of The 1980s?

Why has the United States become the default retreat for migrants whenever a national crisis arises somewhere in the world? There are almost 200 countries on the planet yet only America is consistently called upon to take on the burden of other nation's problems. The socialist argument for this is a typical one – America is “rich” and should pay a price for the wealth they enjoy. Yet, whenever America intervenes in a foreign problem the same people cry foul and make accusations of "colonialism." The answer, it would seem, is to stay out of such matters completely and that includes cutting off mass migrations.

However, those who understand the bigger picture know that there is an agenda underway, not to help desperate migrants and refugees with the wealth of western civilization, but to use those people as a weapon to deconstruct western civilization.  

We are all aware of the continuing saga of the US southern border and the Biden Administration's clear intent to leave it wide open for millions of illegal immigrants every year (the Democrat border legislation recently on the table was rejected widely by Republicans exactly because it allowed for the continuing tide of migrants at the rate of millions per year).  But, there are also more quiet attempts to ship in refugees from conflicts around the world, including the war in Ukraine, the war in Gaza and the civil breakdown in Haiti.

Haiti in particular is being suggested as a potential hot spot that will lead to mass relocation to the US, specifically Florida.  Federal agencies and Biden officials are, of course, reticent to answer questions about the possibility of a migrant crisis from Haiti and refuse to make a definitive public statement on stopping such an event from unfolding.  

The majority of the people from these places would have ideologies that are completely incompatible with western values, and maybe that's the point.  Maybe the goal is to drop these groups right into the middle of American communities as a way to wreak havoc?  It's happened before; consider the Caribbean migrant crisis that started in 1980 under the Carter Administration.

Featuring a combination of hundreds of thousands of Cuban and Haitian migrants, the Mariel Boatlift was an incident that changed US crime trends for decades and left an indelible mark on popular culture. In 1978, Carter sought to reduce restrictions on Cuban travel to the US and lift the embargo on trade.  Haitian immigrants began to slip into the US using makeshift boats at this time and this triggered a Cuban movement to relocate as well.  Carter's lax policy of accepting Cuban and Haitian refugees in the same manner had opened the gateway to a Caribbean migration explosion.  

 

Famously depicted in the 1983 film Scarface and the 1984 drama television series Miami Vice, the crime wave that erupted in the face of the migrant surge in Florida was not fictional, it was very real and it made a long lasting impression on American society.  Carter initially instituted migrant camps as a way to process refugees and determine if they were legitimate, but these efforts were half-hearted and eventually broke down.  

Fidel Castro had played his strategy beautifully, using America as a steam valve to get rid of thousands of hardened criminals and malcontents from Cuba.  The communists could no longer afford to keep such people in prison, so they simply let them out and sent them to the US.  Castro had plenty of help from the other side, though, as US bureaucrats accepted the majority of them without question.  

Mixed into the hordes of violent criminals were also communist agitators and spies, along with people who would quickly and efficiently establish organized syndicates and drug cartels.  Florida's crime rate skyrocketed from 1980 through the 1990s as migrants poured into the state.

To be sure, there were good people among the refugees.  Some of the most staunch anti-communists are Cubans who came to America in the 1980s.  Also, a percentage of the rise in crime could be attributed to the stagflationary crisis which was in full swing in the early 1980s, but data from the era shows a distinctly higher criminal arrest rate for migrants arriving in the US through Mariel.  It was a fact: Migrants were causing a considerable spike in violence and murders in Florida.

Keep in mind that the caliber of criminals coming from Haiti today would probably be even more dangerous than in the 1980s.  With eyewitness reports of mass murder and cannibalism ongoing in the region (which the corporate media and State Department have tried to dismiss), one wonders how many of these people would slip through the cracks and get into the US under Joe Biden?  It's highly unlikely that Biden would even go as far as Jimmy Carter in establishing migrant camps and a rudimentary vetting process.  That would be considered by the political left to be “racially insensitive” or “fascist” and calls for unfiltered immigration would be constant.

It was Carter's reckless handling of immigration and stagflation (sound familiar?) that led to his eventual election loss to Ronald Reagan, but the damage had already been done.   

The majority of countries in the world have strict migrant policies, seeking out only successful and productive people that add value to the national economy.  The US, on the other hand, is expected to do the opposite.  Why?  The only rational answer is that it serves the interests of the establishment to see American society undermined.  One can debate the end game of this plan, but the process in motion is obvious.
