STEVE BANNON (HOST): You’re going to have hundreds of thousands if not millions pouring into Florida. Give me your assessment.
TODD BENSMAN (GUEST): This is a very important situation to watch, not just for national security but for the election. The ingredients for a, what she called a maritime mass migration are fully in place. The state has failed. People in Haiti are getting on boats and the first ones are starting to land in Florida. They're going to head to Florida. The smugglers are bringing them into Florida.
What to watch for here, this is very important, in the coming days, is whether the Biden government interdicts them at sea with naval assets, not just Coast Guard assets, and turns them back and repatriates them either to Haiti or to Guantanamo Bay, which has been done in the past. That's an option.
Or lets them hit the shores of Florida and then processes them in. If they let them hit the shores of Florida, and let them in, then you will have an immediate mass migration by sea of an order that I think we haven't seen in, you know, many, many decades.
We've seen these things pop in ‘91 and ‘94. Everybody – every president tries to turn this back. But I don't, what I'm hearing, I have a source in US Customs and Border Protection, very well placed, who is telling me that the orders are to have the Coast Guard follow the boats to Florida and let them land.
…
Now that would be a political catastrophe for the Biden administration. So maybe they'll somebody will, you know, they'll come to their senses about that and ship them to Guantanamo Bay, and that'll put a stop to it right away.
Or really even more, I guess, effective would be to put together a international force to go in and settle Haiti down, and restore order. That's more of an expensive diplomatic issue there. But if they just let them land and process them in Florida, you know, it's going to be a maritime invasion. And this is something to watch very closely. It's very significant.
