This rare video, filmed undercover during an assignment, shows several immigrants from countries from the Middle East and Africa, as they wait to be processed in the border of Paso Canoas, between Panama and Costa Rica, in December, 2018. Hailing from countries like Iraq, Syria, India, Congo, Haiti and others, this large group of immigrants, that are trying to reach the United States, but who were caught crossing the Darien Gap, are ferried by the Panamanian and Costa-Rican governments under the policy “Controlled Flow”, which allows both countries to control the immigration flow passing through their territories, replacing the smugglers, who benefit from the international networks of Human trafficking and smuggling that allows them to operate, and earn lots of money. During Donald Trump's presidency, the fear of would-be terrorists infiltrating the groups and caravans of immigrants, and that could arrive to U.S. Territory, and perpetrate terrorists attacks, established that this controlled flow by Costa Rica and Panama, could be a risk to national security.
