This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I'm John Bachelor. Asia today,

reporting on migrants crossing the Darien gap in particular Chinese nationals.

These are sharp numbers that approximate the story that Macuyanne has been reporting on for three years now.

Venezuela, Ecuador, and Haiti.
