I have no mercy on animals. Those were the words that a National Guard soldier in Texas dedicated to a man, a migrant, who lay trapped between barbed wire, trying to cross the border from Mexico to the United States. The man was not alone; He was accompanied by his son, a minor, for whom the soldier never felt sorry for him. Why do you send a child? “Do you like the way you suffer?” the uniformed man said, while shouting, stepping on his hands and threatening the poor man with his high-caliber weapon.

In this way, Operation Lone Star deployed by the government of Texas, with the endorsement of the presidency of the United States, to forcibly stop illegal migration along the border, evidences the harsh anti-immigration policy of that country; a strategy in which Mexico participates by keeping its own National Guard deployed to try to contain the waves of human beings trying to cross the other side of the line in Mexican territory.
Yes, there is a lot of talk about this. It is the busiest border in the world and one of the most dangerous. And yes, this would not be possible without the help of the “polleros,” human traffickers who profit from people’s attempts to reach the United States. Their argument, according to former President Donald Trump, is to prevent criminals and rapists from arriving in that country. A vision that ties in with the fascism demonstrated by the military guard who tortured a migrant and his son under barbed wire.
With such demonstrated harshness, U.S. laws and guns would be supposed to be brandished against all kinds of illegal migrants and the smugglers who make money trying to throw them across the border. Or is it?… Of course!, any enthusiastic Texan would answer with certainty; unless the migrant is not from Mexico or El Salvador, but a Cuban and, in turn, the smuggler, is not a criminal operating from Mexican territory, but is a legal resident in the United States with domicile in Miami. What laws apply there?
And what if, on top of everything, that resident pollero runs an organization that receives money from the U.S. government?
In this sense, Washington could observe the case of Joel Brito, a Cuban resident in that country, who serves as director of the International Group for Corporate Social Responsibility in Cuba (GIRSCC), which defines itself as a non-profit organization that, for its actions in favor of “freedom of association” in Cuba, has received $1,380,2016 in funding between 2021 and <> from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), an entity that injects heavy investments into various projects, which are approved by the U.S. Department of State; that is, hard dollars that come out of taxpayers’ taxes.
What the U.S. dollars pay through what the NED grants to Joel Brito and his organization, translates into the pain of a Cuban mother who tells the painful case of her daughter, who suffered humiliation at the hands of a man named Fabián Jesús González Mir, also Cuban, who, however, fled the island with impunity, taking advantage of the advantages that the United States offered until last year to illegal migration for natives of Cuba.
According to the testimony of the victim’s mother, Fabián Jesús financed his escape, leaving the island for Nicaragua and then arriving in the United States, thanks to the economic support of Joel Brito, who, as noted, is the director of the International Group for Corporate Social Responsibility in Cuba.
According to the complaints established in the immigration agencies, Fabián Jesús González Mir entered the United States through the border with Mexico (the one that is so guarded by the U.S. armed forces) and, according to what the victim’s mother indicates, he was taken in by Joel Brito. This version is reinforced by the present video, in which the perpetrator and Brito himself can be clearly identified as clearly participating in human trafficking, mentioning the payment to a “coyote” and scheduling the delivery of two thousand dollars sent by the director of the GISCC to the home of the alleged criminal.
One of the questions to be clarified is the origin of the money that Joel Brito would have given to González Mir. Did the dollars allocated by the NED to the GISCC pay a “coyote” for the aggressor of a young woman to flee Cuba illegally? Moreover, while Washington and its military are filling their mouths with speeches against illegal migration, would the State Department have approved the resources of its National Endowment for Democracy to finance an illegal migration operation? It would be very serious for a non-governmental organization to be involved in what is clearly a possible act of trafficking in persons, which contravenes United States law; recalling, in addition, that he is accused of a crime to the detriment of a Cuban woman.
Under U.S. law, simply providing some tools for illegal entry into the U.S., such as money or false documents, can constitute a crime of alien smuggling, according to the Alien Smuggling court ruling. Thus, it is established that an alien smuggler is a person who encourages, induces, assists or assists any other person to enter the United States or even attempt to enter in violation of the National and Immigration Act entitled INA, INA 212(A)(6)(E)(I).
U.S. immigration policy is a victim of its contradictions. While it sinks its boot against humble migrants who only aspire to work to send money back to their villages, the government’s money seems to finance human smuggling operations through organizations and personalities to whom it has entrusted foreign policy projects. Worse still, Joe Biden’s administration agrees with Donald Trump who, at all times, has said that illegal migrants who pass through the Mexican border are “criminals” and “rapists”; only, in this case, it would not be Mexicans, but a Cuban, accused of violence against a woman, who arrived in the United States illegally thanks to money from the NED.
