TAPACHULA, MEXICO (January 24, 2021) – Nonprofits funded by the United Nations are excavating ‘repressed memories’ and offering ‘guidance’ on the Mexican asylum system to enable more migrants to travel on to the United States. The controversial repressed memory methods are being used to help migrants who have been turned down for Mexican asylum to create better stories for their appeals, so that they can qualify for a residence card, which allows them to travel through Mexico to their final destination – the United States.
Todd Bensman, the Center’s senior national security fellow, said, “I spent a week in southern Mexico where I found UN-funded nonprofit organizations using what many would consider fraudulent methods and unethical coaching to assist migrants to game the asylum laws both in Mexico and the U.S. Migrants are standing in lines to benefit from the free psychological and legal assistance; thousands apparently have gone the recovered memory route after they were rejected for asylum because they had told Mexican immigration authorities they just wanted to go to the United States to make money – an ineligible claim, unlike official government persecution.”
Bensman interviewed a coordinator of one of the UN-funded NGOs who disclosed that the use of recovered memories by migrants during Mexican immigration adjudicator interviews produced a 90 percent approval rate.
Bensman’s breaking story on UN funding of “repressed memory” harvesting comes just two months after his initial reporting on the UN providing cash assistance to U.S.-bound migrants all along the migrant trail from Panama to Texas, which has helped fuel the migration crisis. A dozen Republican lawmakers have signed on to a proposed bill to defund the United Nations over activities they regard as aiding and abetting illegal immigration.
