Mike Benz’s explosive breakdown of declassified CIA strategy memos has peeled back the curtain on how the agency has long orchestrated mass immigration as a geopolitical weapon, far beyond mere humanitarian cover. Drawing from documents like the 1983 CIA memo on Mexican migration, Benz reveals how the intelligence community views unchecked inflows not as a crisis but as a tactical asset: remittances from migrants—often one-third of their U.S. earnings—prop up destabilized economies in source countries, ensuring compliance with American foreign policy demands. The Pentagon echoes this calculus, citing in internal assessments that expelling illegals would crater these cash flows, potentially sparking unrest or regime collapses that could empower adversaries like China or Russia in Latin America and beyond. Historical precedents abound—Operation Peter Pan in 1960s Cuba funneled 14,000 children to Florida to manufacture anti-Castro voting blocs, reshaping congressional policy without a single ballot. This isn’t accidental; it’s “weapons of mass migration,” a doctrine Benz traces to George Kennan’s 1948 “Inauguration of Organized Political Warfare” memo, where the CIA pioneered using displaced populations to coerce targets, all while shielding operations through NGOs and plausible deniability. Today, this manifests in Somali enclaves in Minnesota or Venezuelan surges, where CIA-backed destabilization in homelands creates refugee pipelines that elect sympathetic lawmakers, bypassing voter will.

The tactical playbook for sustaining high remittances and blocking expulsions is ruthlessly pragmatic, as Benz outlines from Pentagon and CIA archives: flooding border regions with migrants overwhelms enforcement, while “human rights” optics—codified in UN instruments—tie the hands of liberal democracies like the U.S. Deportations are framed as destabilizing “policy illegitimacy,” risking backlash that could ignite source-country chaos and dry up the $150 billion+ annual remittance lifeline—funds Mexico, for instance, deems “politically unstoppable” since the 1980s. Benz highlights how this strategy evolved from Cold War coups—rigging Italian elections in 1948 via mob-stuffed ballots—to modern “color revolutions,” where migrants aren’t just economic props but ideological vectors, resettled en masse to amplify anti-populist voices in host nations. The CIA’s quiet calculus prioritizes “soft power” leverage over domestic security, ensuring that expelling “net assets” like remittance senders would forfeit influence in fragile states, even as it burdens American communities with strained resources and cultural friction.

This shadowy framework crystallized in the CIA’s secret 2021 deal with Afghan militias like the “Zero Unit”—elite paramilitary squads trained at Eagle Base for night raids and Taliban hunts—guaranteeing refugee status for thousands in exchange for securing Kabul’s airport amid the chaotic withdrawal. These fighters, hailed as “loyal” by handlers despite accusations of civilian executions, were airlifted to the U.S. under humanitarian parole, bypassing standard vetting to preserve operational ties. Fast-forward to November 22, 2025: Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a Zero Unit veteran from Kandahar’s Unit 03, allegedly ambushes two West Virginia National Guardsmen near the White House, killing Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and wounding another in a hail of .357 Magnum fire—screaming “Allahu Akbar” in a scripted echo of psyop classics. Benz and whistleblowers frame this as no lone-wolf act but a false flag engineered by CIA holdovers: a “radicalized” asset, radicalized on American soil via unaddressed PTSD from “torture squad” service, ignites chaos to smear Trump’s deportation push as “terror-baiting. It’s the ultimate color revolution ploy—import assassins, stage domestic “insurgencies” to erode MAGA legitimacy, all while remittances from Afghan diasporas fund proxy networks back home, ensuring the cycle of migration and manipulation spins eternally.
