"Michelle Malkin's latest book is required reading for anyone wishing to understand the forces and interests behind the open borders and mass migration lobby." —Pawel Styrna, ImmigrationReform.com Follow the money, find the truth. That's Michelle Malkin's journalistic mantra, and in her stunning new book, Open Borders Inc., she puts it to work with a shocking, comprehensive exposé of who's behind our immigration crisis. In the name of compassion—but driven by financial profit—globalist elites, Silicon Valley, and the radical Left are conspiring to undo the rule of law, subvert our homeland security, shut down free speech, and make gobs of money off the backs of illegal aliens, refugees, and low-wage guest workers. Politicians want cheap votes or cheap labor. Church leaders want pew-fillers and collection plate donors. Social justice militants, working with corporate America, want to silence free speech they deem "hateful, " while raking in tens of millions of dollars promoting mass, uncontrolled immigration both legal and illegal. Malkin names names—from Pope Francis to George Clooney, from George Soros to the Koch brothers, from Jack Dorsey to Tim Cook and Mark Zuckerberg. Enlightening as it is infuriating, Open Borders Inc. reveals the powerful forces working to erase America.

CHAPTER ONE

SIN FRONTERAS: ALL ABOARD THE CARAVAN CARTEL

Amnesty begets amnesty. Immigration anarchy breeds more anarchy. Sanctioned lawlessness spawns ever more militant, entitled outlaws.

Irineo Mujica (also known as Irineo Mujica Azrate) is a dual Mexican-American citizen and a direct beneficiary of our suicidal amnesty policies. How has he repaid our generosity? By dedicating his life to erasing our borders and facilitating the very same mass lawbreaking that our nation’s first mass amnesty was supposed to stop. As a lead organizer and the Mexico director of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, the trans-border trafficking outfit masquerading as a humanitarian group, Mujica is the man to whom USA Today gave singular credit for orchestrating floods of illegal aliens coming across our southern border.¹ “Perhaps no single person is more responsible for the huge caravans of migrants headed for the United States than Mujica,” the newspaper gushed. He’s been an open-borders travel agent and shelter operator for more than fifteen years.² Border Patrol and intelligence agents have documented Mujica’s travel and interactions along the Arizona-Mexico border, including phone calls with Central American illegal aliens and a van filled with “items related to illegal border crossings, such as black water jugs and identification cards belonging to people who had been removed from the United States.”³ Shortly after President Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on Mexico in retaliation for the government’s failures to control illegal alien surges in June 2019, Mexican authorities arrested Mujica and a colleague, Cristobal Sanchez, but later freed them citing insufficient evidence. “Human rights” journalist Madeleine Wattenbarger blamed the arrest on “right-wing media.”⁴

Who enabled Irineo Mujica? In 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed the disastrous Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), granting a path to citizenship to 2.7 million illegal aliens in exchange for purported border and interior enforcements. “It’s high time we regained control of our borders,” Reagan asserted at the time, “and this bill will do it.”⁵ Thanks to cheap-labor Republicans and cheap-vote Democrats, however, the legislation was followed by unprecedented illegal immigration—and seven more legislative amnesties between 1986 and 2000,⁶ supplemented by President Barack Obama’s administrative amnesties for upwards of four million illegal alien “youth” and their parents,⁷ plus multiple extensions of the Temporary Protected Status program for an additional 300,000 illegal aliens.⁸ Within a year of IRCA’s passage, illegal immigration broke all previous records, skyrocketing to 800,000 per year. The “reform” and “control” parts of the Immigration Reform and Control Act vanished like mirages in the Sonoran Desert. Adios. Mujica, born in the Mexican state of Michoacán, says he and his family were farm workers who secured green cards through one of the agricultural amnesties embedded in IRCA.⁹

Various media accounts report that Mujica came to the United States at age thirteen to help pay for his sister’s “quinceañera” (fifteenth birthday celebration) because his parents were too poor.¹⁰ He says he grew up in Phoenix, where he joined an older brother. Were his family’s 1986 amnesty claims legitimate? Who knows? I reached out to Mujica through the Pueblo Sin Fronteras Facebook page. Neither he nor the group replied.¹¹ This much is undeniable: both the Special Agricultural Workers (SAW) and Replenishment Agricultural Workers (RAW) programs—buried in IRCA at the behest of agribusiness interests—were plagued by fraud thanks to flimsy eligibility requirements and fake document mills run by unscrupulous labor contractors.¹² SAW applicants needed to prove they had been working illegally for ninety days; RAW applicants only needed to meet a twenty-day threshold. By comparison, the IRCA amnesty for non-agricultural workers required proof of residency for a five-year period. This led to a bumper crop of outlandish, phony farmworker claims that slipped through the cracks of overwhelmed immigration bureaucrats. As David North, a former top Labor Department official and immigration scholar who reviewed IRCA implementation for the Ford Foundation, reported: “There were countless anecdotes of fur-coat wearing Europeans seeking SAW status in Manhattan, applicants who contended that the cotton they harvested was purple, or that cherries were dug out of the ground, or that one used a ladder to pick strawberries. Often the temporary INS staffers handling the SAW applications were as clueless about agriculture as some of the applicants.”¹³ (Among the most notorious phony winners of the 1986 agricultural amnesty program I noted in Invasion: convicted 1993 World Trade Center bomber Mahmud Abouhalima, who arrived in the U.S. on a tourist visa in 1986, overstayed illegally, and fraudulently claimed to have worked on a farm in South Carolina to win his IRCA green card.¹⁴)

With his farm workers’ green card in hand, Mujica told a public radio reporter that he studied photojournalism and spent time in Minnesota before becoming a so-called “human rights defender.”¹⁵ He trained with George Soros–funded Doctors Without Borders, learning to administer first aid and heal foot wounds.¹⁶ In 2008, he rode “La Bestia,” the Mexican freight train network hijacked by Central American illegal aliens to get to the U.S., and photographed the journey. Amnesty International led an outcry after Mexican immigration officials accused Mujica of being a human trafficker.¹⁷ How dare anybody get that wacky idea! In 2011, Mujica organized a protest caravan of five hundred marchers dubbed “Paso a Paso Hacia La Paz” (“Step by Step Towards Peace”)¹⁸ to drum up sympathy for migrants making dangerous journeys to the U.S.-Mexico southern border from southeastern Mexico near the Guatemalan border and from Guatemala City via bus and train through the southern Mexican states of Chiapas and Oaxaca.¹⁹ It was one of three major caravans that year.

Embedded among the human rights radicals and family members of missing migrants from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala were illegal alien laborers like construction worker Wilfredo from El Salvador, who told a reporter: “I want to reach Nuevo Laredo and pay a coyote (people smuggler) to cross the (Mexican-U.S. border) there.”²⁰ He and other marchers on a quest for jobs chanted: “Migrants are not criminals, we are international workers.” In other words: not desperate asylum seekers, not refugees escaping persecution or civil war.

The star of Mujica’s 2011 Step by Step caravan was Mexican illegal alien deportee and sanctuary activist Elvira Arellano, who met the marchers at the “La 72” shelter in Tenosique, Mexico, near the Guatemalan border. Arellano had crossed the border illegally into the U.S. in the 1990s, was deported, then subsequently snuck back to the U.S, and lived in Washington State in 1997. Five years later, she was arrested for working at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport with a fake Social Security number during the post-9/11 Operation Tarmac security sweep. She holed up at the Adalberto United Methodist Church in the Windy City in 2006 to avoid deportation and became the face of the long-festering illegal alien sanctuary movement in America. Time magazine named her a “Person of the Year.”²¹ (Living in the shadows is a terrible plight.) While awaiting her hearing, Arellano became a powerful illegal alien community organizer. She formed the non-profit illegal alien activist group La Familia Latina Unida and became co-chair of Centro Sin Fronteras, a sister organization founded by Emma Lozano, wife of Adalberto United Methodist Church’s radical pastor, Walter “Slim” Coleman. He heads Familia Latina Unida Ministries²² while Lozano serves as pastor at another Chicago sanctuary church, Lincoln United Methodist. Arellano was deported back to Mexico with her U.S.-born seven-year-old son in 2007, but she crossed the border again illegally for the third time as part of a protest caravan in 2014 with a new infant son on her back. She was released in San Diego, claimed asylum, and won a reprieve from deportation in 2017 despite her multiple illegal reentries after previous deportations and document fraud.²³

The resistance apple doesn’t fall far from the outlaw tree: Arellano’s oldest son, Saul, is an outspoken anti-Trump amnesty-for-illegal-aliens advocate.²⁴ Only the best and brightest!

Arellano’s La Familia Latina Unida and Lozano’s Centro Sin Fronteras spawned Irineo Mujica’s Pueblo Sin Fronteras, which at one point shared the same physical address as both the Adalberto United Methodist Church and La Familia Latina Unida: 2176 West Division Street, Chicago, Illinois.²⁵ Centro Sin Fronteras is headquartered at the Lincoln United Methodist Church on 2009 W. 22nd Place, where the vast majority of the congregation are illegal aliens and refugees.²⁶

In 2014, while Arellano snuck her way back into America, Mujica and other “human rights defenders” organized a series of marches and protests across Mexico. Franciscan Friar Tomás González, director of the La 72 migrant shelter, led the annual Viacrucis Migrante, modeled after the Catholic stations of the cross during Holy Week, complete with biblical costumery and prop crosses.²⁷ The goal of Friar González and other Catholic priests sponsoring the event: to “establish the right for people to travel freely through Mexico, the abolishment of the National Institute of Migration” (Mexico’s immigration enforcement agency), and “the guaranteed safety of all migratory routes.”²⁸ That, my friends, is the essence of open borders. A reported 1,200 Central American illegal alien participants converged in Mexico City, and untold numbers of them successfully trespassed into the U.S.²⁹ A second caravan dubbed “the Caravan for Dialogue” soon departed from the Hermanos en el Camino (Brothers on the Path) migrant shelter in Ixtepec, Oaxaca, founded by Mexican Catholic priest Father Alejandro Solalinde Guerra. Among their demands: removal of security barriers and posts to prevent illegals from hopping on and off the La Bestia freight trains.³⁰ Mujica helped spearhead a third protest—a week-long hunger strike—in Mexico City in August 2014, where Pueblo Sin Fronteras conceived the idea of building a shelter in Chahuites, Oaxaca, known as Centro de Ayuda Humanitaria (the Center for Humanitarian Aid).³¹ Mujica has founded a total of seven migrant shelters across Mexico.³²

All of this planning, organization, and coordination was documented by Alex Mensing, who participated behind and in front of the camera on a video project extolling the Central American and Mexican “migrant defense movement” and the creation of the Collective of Defenders of Migrants and Refugees (CODEMIRE), in 2015.³³ Mensing is described by Frontline Defenders, a Dublin, Ireland-based human rights group, as a “member of Pueblo Sin Fronteras since 2014.”³⁴ Frontline Defenders, which distributes grants and promotes featured human rights defenders, lists George Soros’s Open Society Foundations among its donors.³⁵

So, let’s review: The 1986 amnesty allowed immigration outlaw Irineo Mujica to remain in America, get an education, earn a living, and establish himself as an illegal alien advocate on both sides of the border. He joined forces with defiant illegal alien deportee Elvira Arellano, who has been agitating against American sovereignty since her document-fraud arrest in 2002. During the Obama years, multiple caravans coalesced in Mexico, enabling untold numbers of Central American and Mexican illegal aliens to breach our borders—all with the aid and comfort of Catholic priests, Vatican-subsidized shelters, European NGOs, and Soros satellites. Pueblo Sin Fronteras has been explicit about its agenda for years: “Our mission is to provide shelter and safety to migrants and refugees in transit, accompany them in their journey, and together demand respect for our human rights.”³⁶ The table was set for the most audacious caravan to date declared by Pueblo Sin Fronteras in March 2018—once again timed for Holy Week and the Easter season. This one was dubbed the 2018 Refugee Caravan (“Migrantes en la Lucha”). T...
