The world has witnessed an escalating crisis throughout the opening decades of the 21st century — an unprecedented surge in migration impacting the entire globe. The phenomenon is not restricted to any single nation or region but is marked by an unprecedented flow of migrants across hemispheres. The countries taking in millions of migrants are starting to face the effects on domestic economics and national security.
Todd Bensman, a Senior National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, has been instrumental in shedding light on the complexities of the global migration crisis. His extensive background in national security issues provides insight into the unprecedented challenges of unchecked mass migration.
Todd Bensman’s unique blend of journalism and counterterrorism intelligence offers a distinct perspective on the global migration issue. His career has contributed significantly to the public understanding of migration-related security threats. He noted, “For nearly a decade, I led counterterrorism intelligence operations for the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Intelligence and Counterterrorism Division, working closely with federal homeland security and U.S. Intelligence Community agencies.”

Bensman has been highly critical of the involvement of the United Nations (UN) in directing the global mass migration movement. According to Bensman, “In Gaza and Israel, the UN is literally training future Muslim terrorists; in Bosnia and elsewhere (including the Americas), the UN is helping potential Muslim terrorists enter illegally and claim freebies.”

He has also reported on the UN’s activities in providing material support to migrants from troubled parts of the world as they make their way into Europe. “The UN illegal immigration material support way station known as ‘Kamp Lipa’ 30 kilometers south of Bihać Bosnia filled with Afghans, Syrians, Moroccans, Algerians, and Turks all resting and resupplying before departure through woods to enter the EU’s Croatia – Balkan Route,” he wrote.
Among the economic and cultural challenges presented by the flood of migrants, security concerns threaten the safety and property of host nations. There has been a surge in terror threats and ordinary criminal activity across Europe and the U.S.

“Sadly, the woke globalists are trying to destroy the Western world as we know it and rebuild it into a one-world dystopia with no national identity or borders,” Benson wrote.
Of course, the immigration crisis affecting Europe is also plaguing the U.S. under the open borders policies implemented by the Biden administration. According to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), “Simply put the Biden Administration is allowing people to enter the country without knowing who they are.” While Americans have traditionally been generous in providing humanitarian aid when possible, most citizens are not willing to give up basic domestic security to provide it.
