The U.S.-funded United Nations is providing cash to help job-seeking migrants trek up through South America, Central America, and Mexico, says Todd Bensman at the Center for Immigration Studies.
“It is definitely organized,” Bensman told Breitbart News on Monday during a reporting trip to Tapachula in southern Mexico, where migrants arrive after crossing Central America:
They’re giving money out at way-stations up and down the [migrant] trail … There’s a process [in Tapachula]: You get your Mexican [visa] papers, then you go to the UN building next door, get an appointment, and they interview you and look at your situation… It’s not big money, and not all of them get it, but enough get it to sustain them so they don’t have to go home, and so they can go on to the next way station.
Bensman tweeted a video of the migrants waiting for payments:

The funding helps poor migrants from Africa and Asia survive the deadly and brutal trek through South American, over the Darien Gap, through Central America, and into Mexico. Without the UN-provided money, many of the migrants risk going without food, shelter, or short-distance transport.

It is not the Taxpayers funding this. It is those who the Taxpayers elected to represent "Their Will and Desires" who are funding this.

U S Taxpayers funding this??????

Lopez "Alas poor Yorik, I knew him." Two names of people with name recognition hardly beyond their own State's areas would hardly begin to be serious competition even against a mindless wonder such as Biden. I fear the faults you find in Trump and others are but only a reflection of your own, and for this you have my pity and condolences.

The UN is having a hard time converting America to Ajenda 21 so dilute the electorate
America needs to ditch the UN
Lopez, Trump didn't fail America. America failed Trump. Mainly from those who live in their "Glory Days" of the "Good Old Days", which are the result of a poor memory and a rich imagination. Which results in such a present day bitterness that it concentrates on what you deem others do not measure up to in your value system! Then you have the gall to recommend "Substitutes", who wouldn't have a " Snowballs chance in Hell" of winning any Election as no one has ever heard of them! The World knows that secretly you admire and love the Progressive Socialist MEDIA/Democrats.

Without the funding received from the United States, the U.N. cannot stand. Not money for arms, nor armies nor to intervene. No threats. Substantial as air.

I am reminded of the axiom... 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.' an axiom for the wise, recorded in Sun Zhu's book “The Art of War”, one of the most regarded works in Eastern Philosophy. Niccolo Machiavelli applied this axiom in forming his “Machiavellian” precepts for governing. It is much easier to observe and track one's enemies from inside than from outside their circle of influence.
