DAVID NORTH: ILLEGALS LOOTING AMERICA $1.6 BILLION FOR UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE

Let’s Stop Paying Illegals to Stay in the US: Unemployment Insurance


The United States is currently paying up to $1.6 billion a year in unemployment insurance benefits to unemployed illegal alien workers.
Why should we pay these workers to, in effect, stay in the United States even after they have lost their jobs here, jobs that were obtained only through the violation of U.S. laws?
It is a good question, and one that has been rarely asked to date — but dealing with this topic would give the Trump administration an opportunity to reduce the illegal alien population by simply stopping these payments. (We addressed the issue of several other payment schemes for illegal alien in a prior blog posting[1].)
But we could do a little more with this situation.
A person who has (1) lost his or her job; and (2) lost unemployment benefits, might consider: "Maybe I should re-think the notion of staying in the United States." That would be a rational thing to do.
Why not use this moment to facilitate the newly unemployed person's return to the homeland?
Instead of simply sending the alien a notice that unemployment benefits are not available, why not send the alien a two-pronged message, saying these are his or her options:
1. The unemployment insurance agency will not only deny benefits, it will turn over your name, address, and other data to the Department of Homeland Security for deportation.
Or
2. You can accept the Going Home package, which includes a one-way plane ticket to your homeland for you and your immediate family members, $100 in cash as you step off the plane, and $1,000 six months later to be paid, under secure conditions, at the U.S. embassy in your homeland. There would be no deportation order, but the alien would have to agree to not seek to enter the United States for 10 years.
All of this would be paid out of unemployment funds, not tax moneys. While the state entities (state employment service agencies) might object, the chances are that the new rules for illegal immigrants would save them money over the long run. The unemployment insurance system (for which I once worked in New Jersey) is covered by federal law and is managed by the federal Labor Department, but it gives states much leeway as to how the program is to be run.
The estimate of up to $1.6 billion for benefits paid to illegal aliens is of the ballpark variety. The nation spends some $32 billion a year on unemployment insurance, and about eight million of the nation's 160 million workers are illegals, or 5 percent. And 5 percent of $32 billion is $1.6 billion. The labor force estimate can be seen here [2].
How would the state employment service agencies determine who is an illegal alien and who is not? That would take a change of policy, but nothing more complicated.
After all, the E-Verify system provides a list of people who have genuine Social Security numbers issued to them, a list of people who are legally eligible for work. All the unemployment insurance staff would have to do is to run the SSNs of those applying for benefits against the E-Verify list. If there is no match to a genuine SSN issued to the worker in question, there would be no benefits. (The initially denied worker would have access to a simple administrative appeals system, in case of clerical errors, as such workers now have in the E-Verify system.)
The Obama administration did not have the will to take those simple steps. Maybe the Trump administration will see this as an enforcement opportunity.
I doubt that there would be a need for new legislation to impose such a regulation.

ANDREW PUZDER IS AN ADVOCATE FOR 

OPEN BORDERS TO KEEP WAGES 

DEPRESSED

Andrew Puzder Is the Wrong Choice for Labor Secretary



Working in fast-food is no picnic. The industry is 

infamous for grindingly low pay and labor law 

violations. Yet Andrew Puzder, the chief executive 

of the company that operates Carl’s Jr. and 

Hardee’s, has been chosen by President-elect 

Donald Trump as labor secretary.
Here is the record at those restaurants. When the 

Obama Labor Department looked at thousands of 

complaints involving fast-food workers, it found 

labor law violations in 60 percent of the 

investigations at Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s, usually 

for failure to pay the minimum wage or time and a 

half for overtime.

The central problem for workers today is persistently low pay, even at profitable companies with highly paid executives. 

Mr. Puzder, however, has been 

adamantly opposed to a meaningful 

increase in the federal minimum 

wage, which is $7.25 an hour. 

Mr. Trump has said he could 

stomach an increase to $10, which is 

still abysmal. Ideally, a labor secretary, who is supposed to have a deeper understanding of this issue, would push for much more. But Mr. Puzder has said that a big raise would mean fewer jobs for workers starting out. Even if that was true, and the evidence suggests otherwise, there are millions more who would benefit from raising the minimum wage.
Mr. Puzder has also been a scathing 

critic of efforts by the Obama 

administration to update the rules for 

overtime-pay eligibility, which have 

not been fully adjusted for inflation 

since the mid-1970s. His argument boils down to an assertion that employees prefer a low salary and the “prestige” of a managerial title — even though they would be entitled to overtime if they remained hourly employees. His opposition to the new overtime rules is especially troubling given that it would be his task as labor secretary to defend the rules, which have been challenged in court.

Mr. Puzder has also blamedthe Affordable Care Act for causing a “restaurant recession.” There is no evidence that health care reform has harmed job growth, and there is certainly no evidence of a restaurant recession.
Mandatory sick leave has been criticized by Mr. Puzder as well. He says it would be an undue burden on businesses. Yet in all other advanced economies, paid sick days, paid parental leave and similar policies are rightly seen as investments in human capital, as necessary as investments in plants and equipment.
For Mr. Puzder, being pro-business seems to mean being anti-worker. That makes him the wrong choice for labor secretary.

Trump Expected to Tap Labor Secretary Who Prefers Foreign Labor to American Workers


SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

President-elect Donald J. Trump is expected to name as his Labor Secretary fast food executive Andy Puzder, who stands diametrically opposed to Trump’s signature issues on trade and immigration — which won him the election.

Puzder is the chief executive of CKE Restaurants, which includes Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s.
Advocates for American wage-
earners say that Puzder as Secretary 
of Labor is alarming because he will 
be in charge of enacting policies that 
directly impact American workers, 
whom Puzder believes are 
“unwilling” to do certain jobs. Puzder 
has suggested that available U.S. jobs 
should instead be filled by imported 
foreign labor.
Puzder has even gone so far as to suggest that he prefers foreign laborers to native-born American workers because foreign nationals are more grateful and have a better “attitude.”
“The fact is that there are jobs in this country that U.S. citizens, for whatever reason, are reluctant or unwilling to perform,” he said in a 2013 Politico op-ed in which he advocated for expansionist immigration policies.
As the Washington Post reported, Puzder suggested that flipping burgers is one such job Americans simply won’t do:
“Andrew Puzder, head of the California-based Hardee’s fast-food chain, said his business is a good fit for immigrants because they are willing to start at the bottom and work up…
“Immigrants appreciate what America offers,” Puzder said during a recent visit to Washington to lobby for immigration reform. “They are not taking jobs from Americans, because there are not sufficient Americans applying for jobs. Maybe they feel they have better options.”
Acclaimed Manhattan Institute scholar Heather Mac Donald was critical of Puzder’s logic in a piece titled, “Does America Need More Hamburger-Flippers?” Mac Donald wrote:
Isn’t the argument for importing low-skilled immigrants that they take jobs that Americans won’t do? Farm labor is almost certainly one of those hard-to-fill jobs, but it’s news to me that working a fast-food counter is another — unless perhaps that niche becomes dominated by Mexican or Central American immigrants. A black kid from Watts is going to have a hard time getting hired at a Carl’s Jr. in South Central L.A. where all the employees speak to each other in Spanish.
Polling data suggests that Puzder’s desire to import foreign workers to fill U.S. jobs stands opposed to the desires of the American electorate.
Indeed, a 2014 poll from Kellyanne Conway’s polling company found that by nearly a 10-1 margin, Americans believe that companies should raise wages and improve working conditions for workers already here – rather than importing new foreign labor from abroad to fill American jobs.
Yet, during a 2013 AEI panel, Puzder seemed to express his preference for foreign workers over native-born Americans. Puzder said that his California labor force, which has a high percentage of foreign-born workers, is comprised of “hardworking, dedicated, creative people that really appreciate the fact that they have a job. Whereas in other parts of the country you often get people who are saying, ‘I can’t believe I have to work this job.’ With the immigrant population you always have a “Thank-God-I-have-this-job” kind of attitude, so you end up with a real different feeling. Now that’s a gross generalization… but I think it’s probably accurate.”
Last year, Puzder even joined forces with Michael Bloomberg, Bob Iger, and Rupert Murdoch’s open borders lobbying firm, the Partnership for a New American Economy, to call for “free-market solutions” to our immigration system.
“America should be a destination for hard-working immigrants from all over the world. Our economy will benefit from that,” Puzder wrote, perhaps unaware of the fact that the U.S. already has the world’s most generous immigration system– admitting one million plus foreign nationals on green cards; one million guest workers, dependents, and refugees; and half a million foreign students each and every year.
Puzder has been equally vocal about his support for immigration amnesty.
In 2013, Puzder lamented that the federal government’s current immigration policy is unfair to “undocumented workers who are lured to the country by the prospect of employment, [but] then must live in the shadows.”
Similarly, in a 2015 op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal’s open borders opinion pages, Puzder declared that “every candidate should support a path to legal status” for all illegal immigrants “willing to accept responsibility for their actions”.
In a July 2016 Wall Street Journal op-ed co-authored with Stephen Moore, Puzder insisted that the President-elect’s plan to enforce U.S. immigration law and repatriate the illegal population is “unworkable.”
“[Many undocumented immigrants] live in fear of being deported, losing what they’ve built and being separated from their families,” Puzder separately told reporters during a 2015 conference call with top GOP donors. “Our values indicate we should be the party of immigration reform.”
By “immigration reform” Puzder was referring to a widely-used progressive euphemism that means amnesty and flooding the labor market with foreign workers. Indeed, as Puzder himself explained in 2013, “comprehensive immigration reform” should include “a robust legal immigration program, including incentives for highly educated people to come to the U.S. and a guest worker program; a pathway to adjusted status for those here illegally now; and special relief for the children of undocumented immigrants.”
“The reality is that the government is not going to enforce the law effectively now against those who are here unlawfully,” Puzder wrote in 2013. The United States, Puzder reasoned, simply lacks “the will” to enforce U.S. immigration law:
There are more than 11 million illegal immigrants in our country. Many have families, homes, jobs and children who are American citizens. We simply are not going to take them from their homes, put them in prisons, load them on buses and take them back over the border. Nor will we enact draconian measures that drive them from their homes or their jobs and force them to “self-deport.” As a nation, we lack both the will and the resources to implement such policies.
More recently, Puzder has argued that “deportation should only be pursued when an illegal immigrant has committed a felony or [has] become a ‘public charge’.”
However, President-elect Trump himself explained why only enforcing some aspects of U.S. immigration law would be unfair to American workers. During his immigration speech delivered in Phoenix, Arizona, Trump said:
Immigration law doesn’t exist just for the purpose of keeping out criminals. It exists to protect all aspects of American life – the worksite, the welfare office, the education system and much else. That is why immigration limits are established in the first place. If we only enforce the laws against crime, then we have an open border to the entire world.”
In his 2016 Wall Street Journal op-ed, Puzder also described himself as a “free trader” who “oppose[s] punitive tariffs.”
Many have credited Trump’s pro-American worker stance on trade as part of the reason he was able to break through the left’s “blue wall” in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
As MSNBC’s Chris Matthews explained on election night, Trump won, in large part, due by running against the Washington establishment’s position on trade and immigration:
The fact that we don’t have an immigration system that we enforce: business wants the cheap labor, Democrats want the jobs and the votes. Nobody’s gotten it together. In terms of trade… just drive through Michigan, drive through Wisconsin, and you’ll see places that are hollowed out…Trump said, ‘You know what, I think I can run against this stuff.’ … It was a legitimate campaign on those issue.
It remains to be seen whether Puzder will abandon his former open borders positions on these issues and will take up Trump’s pro-American worker platform on trade and immigration, which won him the election.

Trump: ‘My Administration Will Follow 2 Simple Rules: Buy American and Hire American’




Does America Need More Hamburger-Flippers? 

 by HEATHER MAC DONALD

In the Wall Street Journal weekend interview, the CEO 

of Carl’s Jr., Andy Puzder, says that a “high percentage 

of our employees, particularly in California, are 

immigrants.” Isn’t the argument for importing low-

skilled immigrants that they take jobs that Americans 

won’t do?  Farm labor is almost certainly one of those 

hard-to-fill jobs, but it’s news to me that working a fast-

food counter is another — unless perhaps that niche 

becomes dominated by Mexican or Central American 

immigrants. A black kid from Watts is going to have a 

hard time getting hired at a Carl’s Jr. in South Central 

L.A. where all the employees speak to each other in 

Spanish.  Puzder predicts that the high cost of 

Obamacare will force fast-food joints to automate their 

customer functions. That will be unfortunate, he says, 

because fast food is a “great level of job for people to 

enter the labor force.” True enough. But why do we 

owe that opportunity to unskilled Mexicans, rather than 

to Americans first of all? Why isn’t it 

Mexico’s responsibility to figure out a 

way to employ their high-school drop-

outs? 

Continuing to import large numbers of uneducated 

immigrants is also justified on the grounds that they 

will make our economy more competitive. Again, it’s 

hard to see how an ever-expanding pool of hamburger-

flippers allows us to compete more successfully with 

China and Germany’s engineering sectors. Unless 

those immigrant fast-food employees skyrocket up the 

promotional ladder, they are going to be much heavier 

consumers of government services than higher-skilled 

workers, offsetting any minimal taxes that they may 

pay. And they are also unlikely to be starting new 

technology companies, as the ubiquitous Sergey Brin 

meme would have us believe about the entire universe 

of immigrants — educated and uneducated.

The colossal redistribution of wealth and income from the bottom to the top of American society reached record proportions under Obama, whose legacy of falling living standards and worsening economic crisis for tens of millions of workers was a decisive factor in the victory of the fascistic demagogue and con artist Trump."
