African migrants are reportedly flying to South America so they may enter the United States through its porous southern border, according to a Daily Mail investigation.
For proof of this phenomenon, the Daily Mail’s reporters traveled to the Istanbul Airport to catch one of the migrants’ flights to Bogota, Colombia.
“Istanbul-Bogota is the hottest plane ticket in town right now for many young Africans seeking to earn more money or flee alleged persecution at home,” the outlet exclusively reported on Friday.
The outlet has gone and even given the flight a name: the Biden Express.
BIDEN EXPRESS
– Istanbul-Bogota is the hottest plane ticket for Africans
– Africans cite Biden’s Open Border Policies as incentive
– Route is Istanbul to Bogota to El Salvador and then Mangua, Nicaragua where they buy “tourist visas.”

Why the Biden Express? Because it’s all about U.S. President Joe Biden’s horrible, widely condemned policies, including his border policies.
“The migrants believe that the policies of the current Biden administration will give them a fairer shot at a fresh start in America,” according to the Daily Mail.
Once in Bogota, the migrants then fly directly to El Salvador and then to Managua, the Nicaraguan capital. There, they take advantage of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega’s equally lax immigration policies to buy tourist visas.
Using tourist visas, the migrants then head toward Mexico, where they may then freely cross the border and enter the United States under Biden’s lax policies.
Among the African migrants that the Daily Mail’s reporters met at the Istanbul Airport was Ahmed Samba, “a 33-year-old man dressed in traditional Islamic garb under a western jacket, who hails from the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott.”
He originally claimed he intended to “vacation” in Nicaragua. But after some convincing, he revealed the truth.
“America is the country of freedom and human rights. What Joe Biden is doing is good. But if Donald Trump gets re-elected next year, it will become more difficult for migrants there. That guy is crazy,” he said.
While he didn’t specify why he thinks former President Donald Trump is “crazy,” he probably believes that because, unlike Biden, the former president actually believes in securing the border that is currently being overrun.

“Ahmed wanted to know about how to claim asylum, and whether he could be supplied with an address to give to the U.S. Border and Customs Patrol agents once detained,” according to the Daily Mail.
Here’s the kicker: “He was acutely aware that he would be immediately released and allowed to roam freely around the country ahead of a possible asylum hearing, a process that can take years due to a backlog of cases.”
“I think I will head to New York or Atlanta. There are already lots of Mauritanians in those places. I’ll do whatever it takes to get to America. From what I’ve seen, it is easy to get in once you reach the border,” he said.
It gets worse. He’s not fleeing persecution. He just wants work. Regarding his home country, he said it’s “a rich country” thanks to its natural resources but that “nothing is properly organized there,” meaning it’s hard to get work.
This is no surprise. Even the demonstrably biased, far-left establishment press has admitted that most so-called “asylum seekers” who cross into the U.S. are just seeking work and not escaping persecution or violence.
“The truth is the majority of the people that are part of this caravan, especially outside, if we can make our way all the way over there, we’ll show you, the majority of them are men,” an MSNBC reporter noted back in 2018.
“From what we’ve seen, the majority are actually men, and some of these men have not articulated that need for asylum, instead, they have talked about, you know, going to the United States for a better life and to find work,” he continued.
Listen:
All this comes as the border continues to be overrun.
“The U.S. Border Patrol arrested at least 91,000 migrants who crossed as part of a family group in August, exceeding the prior one-month record of 84,486 set in May 2019,” The Washington Post confirmed late last month.
It’s only gotten worse since then.
“U.S. border authorities encountered more than 142,000 migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border in the first half of September … a tally on pace to match or even surpass previous monthly highs,” Reuters reported last week.
