A striking level of collusion, as Biden's officers use an encrypted online chat room to tell Mexico when to let migrants swim across

MATAMOROS, Mexico – In recent days, large crowds of immigrants have formed on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande fully prepared to swim over well-worn crossing spots to Brownsville – but seemingly held back by unarmed Mexican immigration officials.
Over the course of several recent days in this northeastern Mexican city when perhaps 3,000 immigrants a day swam over to Brownsville with no opposition on either side, a curious pattern became evident. At some sort of signal from the Mexican immigration officers, a group of about 100-150 from the crowd would suddenly stand in unison and rush down the riverbank, past the immigration officers, and swim over to America.
It turns out that this pattern was far from happenstance. The Center for Immigration Studies asked several of the Mexican immigration officers what was going on and learned that President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security has been coordinating these mass swims with Mexico's immigration service, INM, at high levels on an encrypted Whatsapp channel.
The officers explained that their senior officers were in touch with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials about how many immigrants were gathered and were prepared to cross the river at any given time.
"We're letting them know that there's a group of people ready to cross," one officer explained.
The Americans on the other side would ask the Mexicans to hold back the migrants – not because such crossings are illegal and should be blocked and obstructed, but only until the Americans had finished processing the last batch into the country through Brownsville. Once the Americans felt they could take in more, they message the Mexicans that "they are ready to receive them." Then, senior officials would radio the on-ground immigration officers, all of whom are equipped with radios.
Next, the officers signal to the waiting crowd to go forward and, once they figure enough are in the water, they cut off the rest and push and cajole them back into line until the Americans signal they're ready again.
The Mexican officers said the Americans initiated this system in late April but could only guess at why – perhaps to better manage the processing of very high recent numbers of crossings. But the collaboration explains why Mexican immigration officers are stationed at the river at all, and raises many questions.
CBP did not immediately respond to CIS's telephoned and emailed messages for comment.
But the process, which has never been publicized, amounts to a "controlled-flow" system most often used, controversially, by Colombia, Panama, and Costa Rica, to facilitate mass illegal migration to the U.S. border rather than incur the expense and trouble of blocking it in those countries.
Controlled-flow by the Biden administration's DHS with Mexico also constitutes a highly unusual U.S. policy that demonstrates formal acquiescence to illegal immigration and an official willingness to accommodate mass illegal immigration rather than stopping, blocking, or deterring it, as required by law.
It remains unclear as the Title 42 expedited removal power comes to an end at midnight on 5/11, and is replaced by a new policy, if the controlled-flow scheme will continue working.
Numerous times in Matamoros, CIS witnessed migrants charge the Mexican immigration officers and pour into the river ahead of "schedule."
Dozens of the migrants openly argued with the Mexican officers to let them through. But the officers argued back that they had to be patient, lest children or adults drown in uncontrolled crossings.
Mexico seemed to signal a willingness to use muscle if necessary to maintain the controlled-flow arrangement. Late Tuesday, as the crowd grew visibly restive, a squad of armed Mexican National Guard showed up and began patrolling the line.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) issued an executive order on Tuesday to attempt to bolster the state's efforts to aid New York City with its increasing influx of migrants seeking asylum.
The move from the governor comes after suburbs of the Big Apple became irate at the plan from city Mayor Eric Adams (D) to bus migrants out of the city and into the suburbs, as previously reported by the DC Enquirer.
Hochul says the order will allow for New York to bring in as many as 500 more National Guard members to aid the city in the chaos, adding to the already deployed 1,000 members, per Politico. The order also allows the state to get equipment and housing for the more than 57,000 migrants that have flooded into the city.
Hocul spoke to reporters, stating "It is a crisis situation, especially with the suspension of Title 42 on Thursday. It's no surprise that there will literally be thousands of more individuals coming across the border and ultimately finding their way to the state of New York." Hochul justifies the order, saying the state is in a "large-scale humanitarian crisis," and warning that a "disaster is imminent" with the coming migrants, according to Silive.
Hochul has also stated the hardest obstacle for them to overcome is getting the migrants approved to work legally within the states. She did note that farmers in New York needed roughly 5,000 workers.
Orange and Rockland counties, the counties that New York City attempted to send the migrants to, executed their own state of emergency orders to attempt to block hotels from contracting New York City for housing migrants.
Hochul has attempted to calm these concerns, saying the state will look for new locations to house the migrants, potentially using state-owned facilities to house them. She also said that she would make sure the counties that take the migrants want them to be there.
The recently approved state budget also set aside $1 billion to help the city quell the surge of migrants as Adams has continued to beg for more resources to be funneled to the city, specifically criticizing the federal government for their lack of aid. Adams has said that the care for migrants has cost the city $4.3 billion in the past two years. However, at the rate the money is being spent as well as the expected influx, it's unlikely the money set aside for New York City will last long.
New York seems to be falling deeper into a mess each and every day as more migrants are bused from the border into the metropolitan area. Adams and Hochul seem to stay firm in the ideals of allowing migrants to safely occupy the city.
