In the July/August version of the Atlantic,
columnist Peter Beinart wrote an article titled, “How the Democrats Lost Their
Way on Immigration.”
“The next Democratic presidential candidate should
say again and again that because Americans are one people, who must abide by
one law, his or her goal is to reduce America’s undocumented population to
zero.”
inart, a frequent contributor to the New
York Times, New York Review of Books, Haaretz, and
former editor of the New Republic, blames immigration for
deteriorating social conditions for the American working class: The supposed
“costs” of immigration, he says, “strain the very welfare state that liberals
want to expand in order to help those native-born Americans with whom immigrants
compete.”
In
2005, a left-leaning blogger wrote, “Illegal immigration wreaks havoc
economically, socially, and culturally; makes a mockery of the rule of
law; and is disgraceful just on basic fairness grounds alone.” In 2006, a
liberal columnist wrote that “immigration reduces the wages of domestic
workers who compete with immigrants” and that “the fiscal burden of
low-wage immigrants is also pretty clear.” His conclusion: “We’ll need
to reduce the inflow of low-skill immigrants.” That same year, a
Democratic senator wrote, “When I see Mexican flags waved at
proimmigration demonstrations, I sometimes feel a flush of patriotic
resentment. When I’m forced to use a translator to communicate with the
guy fixing my car, I feel a certain frustration.”
The blogger was Glenn Greenwald. The columnist was Paul Krugman. The senator was Barack Obama.
Prominent liberals didn’t oppose immigration a decade ago. Most acknowledged its benefits to America’s economy and culture. They supported a path to citizenship for the undocumented. Still, they routinely asserted that low-skilled immigrants depressed the wages of low-skilled American workers and strained America’s welfare state. And they were far more likely than liberals today are to acknowledge that, as Krugman put it, “immigration is an intensely painful topic … because it places basic principles in conflict.”
Today, little of that ambivalence remains. In 2008, the Democratic platform called undocumented immigrants “our neighbors.” But it also warned, “We cannot continue to allow people to enter the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked,” adding that “those who enter our country’s borders illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of the law.” By 2016, such language was gone. The party’s platform described America’s immigration system as a problem, but not illegal immigration itself. And it focused almost entirely on the forms of immigration enforcement that Democrats opposed. In its immigration section, the 2008 platform referred three times to people entering the country “illegally.” The immigration section of the 2016 platform didn’t use the word illegal, or any variation of it, at all. “A
decade or two ago,” says Jason Furman, a former chairman of President
Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, “Democrats were divided on
immigration. Now everyone agrees and is passionate and thinks very
little about any potential downsides.” How did this come to be?
A larger explanation is political. Between 2008 and 2016, Democrats became more and more confident that the country’s growing Latino population gave the party an electoral edge. To win the presidency, Democrats convinced themselves, they didn’t need to reassure white people skeptical of immigration so long as they turned out their Latino base. “The fastest-growing sector of the American electorate stampeded toward the Democrats this November,” Salon declared after Obama’s 2008 win. “If that pattern continues, the GOP is doomed to 40 years of wandering in a desert.” As
the Democrats grew more reliant on Latino votes, they were more
influenced by pro-immigrant activism. While Obama was running for
reelection, immigrants’-rights advocates launched protests against the
administration’s deportation practices; these protests culminated, in
June 2012, in a sit-in at an Obama campaign office in Denver. Ten days
later, the administration announced that it would defer the deportation
of undocumented immigrants who had arrived in the U.S. before the age of
16 and met various other criteria. Obama, The New York Times
noted, “was facing growing pressure from Latino leaders and Democrats
who warned that because of his harsh immigration enforcement, his
support was lagging among Latinos who could be crucial voters in his
race for re-election.”
Alongside pressure from pro-immigrant activists came pressure from corporate America, especially the Democrat-aligned tech industry, which uses the H-1B visa program to import workers. In 2010, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, along with the CEOs of companies including Hewlett-Packard, Boeing, Disney, and News Corporation, formed New American Economy to advocate for business-friendly immigration policies. Three years later, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates helped found FWD.us to promote a similar agenda.
This combination of Latino and corporate activism made it perilous for Democrats to discuss immigration’s costs, as Bernie Sanders learned the hard way. In July 2015, two months after officially announcing his candidacy for president, Sanders was interviewed by Ezra Klein, the editor in chief of Vox. Klein asked whether, in order to fight global poverty, the U.S. should consider “sharply raising the level of immigration we permit, even up to a level of open borders.” Sanders reacted with horror. “That’s a Koch brothers proposal,” he scoffed. He went on to insist that “right-wing people in this country would love … an open-border policy. Bring in all kinds of people, work for $2 or $3 an hour, that would be great for them. I don’t believe in that. I think we have to raise wages in this country.”
Sanders came under immediate attack. Vox’s Dylan Matthews declared that his “fear of immigrant labor is ugly—and wrongheaded.” The president of FWD.us accused Sanders of “the sort of backward-looking thinking that progressives have rightly moved away from in the past years.” ThinkProgress published a blog post titled “Why Immigration Is the Hole in Bernie Sanders’ Progressive Agenda.” The senator, it argued, was supporting “the idea that immigrants coming to the U.S. are taking jobs and hurting the economy, a theory that has been proven incorrect.” Sanders
stopped emphasizing immigration’s costs. By January 2016, FWD.us’s
policy director noted with satisfaction that he had “evolved on this
issue.”
But has the claim that “immigrants coming to the U.S. are taking jobs” actually been proved “incorrect”? A decade ago, liberals weren’t so sure. In 2006, Krugman wrote that America was experiencing “large increases in the number of low-skill workers relative to other inputs into production, so it’s inevitable that this means a fall in wages.”
It’s hard to imagine a prominent liberal columnist writing that sentence today. To the contrary, progressive commentators now routinely claim that there’s a near-consensus among economists on immigration’s benefits. There
isn’t. According to a comprehensive new report by the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, “Groups comparable to …
immigrants in terms of their skill may experience a wage reduction as a
result of immigration-induced increases in labor supply.” But academics
sometimes de-emphasize this wage reduction because, like liberal
journalists and politicians, they face pressures to support immigration.
Many of the immigration scholars regularly cited in the press have worked for, or received funding from, pro-immigration businesses and associations. Consider, for instance, Giovanni Peri, an economist at UC Davis whose name pops up a lot in liberal commentary on the virtues of immigration. A 2015 New York Times Magazine essay titled “Debunking the Myth of the Job-Stealing Immigrant” declared that Peri, whom it called the “leading scholar” on how nations respond to immigration, had “shown that immigrants tend to complement—rather than compete against—the existing work force.” Peri is indeed a respected scholar. But Microsoft has funded some of his research into high-skilled immigration. And New American Economy paid to help him turn his research into a 2014 policy paper decrying limitations on the H-1B visa program. Such grants are more likely the result of his scholarship than their cause. Still, the prevalence of corporate funding can subtly influence which questions economists ask, and which ones they don’t. (Peri says grants like those from Microsoft and New American Economy are neither large nor crucial to his work, and that “they don’t determine … the direction of my academic research.”) Academics face cultural pressures too. In his book Exodus,
Paul Collier, an economist at the University of Oxford, claims that in
their “desperate [desire] not to give succor” to nativist bigots,
“social scientists have strained every muscle to show that migration is
good for everyone.” George Borjas of Harvard argues that since he began
studying immigration in the 1980s, his fellow economists have grown far
less tolerant of research that emphasizes its costs. There is, he told
me, “a lot of self-censorship among young social scientists.” Because
Borjas is an immigration skeptic, some might discount his perspective.
But when I asked Donald Davis, a Columbia University economist who takes
a more favorable view of immigration’s economic impact, about Borjas’s
claim, he made a similar point. “George and I come out on different
sides of policy on immigration,” Davis said, “but I agree that there are
aspects of discussion in academia that don’t get sort of full view if
you come to the wrong conclusion.”
The
problem is that, although economists differ about the extent of the
damage, immigration hurts the Americans with whom immigrants compete.
And since more than a quarter of America’s recent immigrants lack even a
high-school diploma or its equivalent, immigration particularly hurts
the least-educated native workers, the very people who are already
struggling the most. America’s immigration system, in other words, pits
two of the groups liberals care about most—the native-born poor and the
immigrant poor—against each other.
One way of mitigating this problem would be to scrap the current system, which allows immigrants living in the U.S. to bring certain close relatives to the country, in favor of what Donald Trump in February called a “merit based” approach that prioritizes highly skilled and educated workers. The problem with this idea, from a liberal perspective, is its cruelty. It denies many immigrants who are already here the ability to reunite with their loved ones. And it flouts the country’s best traditions. Would we remove from the Statue of Liberty the poem welcoming the “poor,” the “wretched,” and the “homeless”?
A better answer is to take some of the windfall that immigration brings to wealthier Americans and give it to those poorer Americans whom immigration harms. Borjas has suggested taxing the high-tech, agricultural, and service-sector companies that profit from cheap immigrant labor and using the money to compensate those Americans who are displaced by it. Unfortunately,
while admitting poor immigrants makes redistributing wealth more
necessary, it also makes it harder, at least in the short term. By some
estimates, immigrants, who are poorer on average than native-born
Americans and have larger families, receive more in government services
than they pay in taxes. According to the National Academies report,
immigrant-headed families with children are 15 percentage points more
likely to rely on food assistance, and 12 points more likely to rely on
Medicaid, than other families with children. In the long term, the
United States will likely recoup much if not all of the money it spends
on educating and caring for the children of immigrants. But in the
meantime, these costs strain the very welfare state that liberals want
to expand in order to help those native-born Americans with whom
immigrants compete.
What’s more, studies by the Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam and others suggest that greater diversity makes Americans less charitable and less willing to redistribute wealth. People tend to be less generous when large segments of society don’t look or talk like them. Surprisingly, Putnam’s research suggests that greater diversity doesn’t reduce trust and cooperation just among people of different races or ethnicities—it also reduces trust and cooperation among people of the same race and ethnicity.
Trump appears to sense this. His implicit message during the campaign was that if the government kept out Mexicans and Muslims, white, Christian Americans would not only grow richer and safer, they would also regain the sense of community that they identified with a bygone age. “At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America,” he declared in his inaugural address, “and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.” Liberals
must take seriously Americans’ yearning for social cohesion. To promote
both mass immigration and greater economic redistribution, they must
convince more native-born white Americans that immigrants will not
weaken the bonds of national identity. This means dusting off a concept
many on the left currently hate: assimilation.
Liberal immigration policy must work to ensure that immigrants do not occupy a separate legal caste. This means opposing the guest-worker programs—beloved by many Democrat-friendly tech companies, among other employers—that require immigrants to work in a particular job to remain in the U.S. Some scholars believe such programs drive down wages; they certainly inhibit assimilation. And, as Schachter’s research suggests, strengthening the bonds of identity between natives and immigrants is harder when natives and immigrants are not equal under the law. The
next Democratic presidential candidate should say again and again that
because Americans are one people, who must abide by one law, his or her
goal is to reduce America’s undocumented population to zero. For
liberals, the easy part of fulfilling that pledge is supporting a path
to citizenship for the undocumented who have put down roots in the
United States. The hard part, which Hillary Clinton largely ignored in
her 2016 presidential run, is backing tough immigration enforcement so
that path to citizenship doesn’t become a magnet that entices more
immigrants to enter the U.S. illegally.
Enforcement need not mean tearing apart families, as Trump is doing with gusto. Liberals can propose that the government deal harshly not with the undocumented themselves but with their employers. Trump’s brutal policies already appear to be slowing illegal immigration. But making sure companies follow the law and verify the legal status of their employees would curtail it too: Migrants would presumably be less likely to come to the U.S. if they know they won’t be able to find work.
Schachter’s research also shows that native-born whites feel a greater affinity toward immigrants who speak fluent English. That’s particularly significant because, according to the National Academies report, newer immigrants are learning English more slowly than their predecessors did. During the campaign, Clinton proposed increasing funding for adult English-language education. But she rarely talked about it. In fact, she ran an ad attacking Trump for saying, among other things, “This is a country where we speak English, not Spanish.” The immigration section of her website showed her surrounded by Spanish-language signs. Democrats
should put immigrants’ learning English at the center of their
immigration agenda. If more immigrants speak English fluently,
native-born whites may well feel a stronger connection to them, and be
more likely to support government policies that help them. Promoting
English will also give Democrats a greater chance of attracting those
native-born whites who consider growing diversity a threat. According to
a preelection study by Adam Bonica, a Stanford political scientist, the
single best predictor of whether a voter supported Trump was whether he
or she agreed with the statement “People living in the U.S. should
follow American customs and traditions.”
In her 2005 book, The Authoritarian Dynamic, which has been heralded for identifying the forces that powered Trump’s campaign, Karen Stenner, then a professor of politics at Princeton, wrote:
In 2014, the University of California listed melting pot
as a term it considered a “microaggression.” What if Hillary Clinton
had traveled to one of its campuses and called that absurd? What if she
had challenged elite universities to celebrate not merely
multiculturalism and globalization but Americanness? What if she had
said more boldly that the slowing rate of English-language acquisition
was a problem she was determined to solve? What if she had acknowledged
the challenges that mass immigration brings, and then insisted that
Americans could overcome those challenges by focusing not on what makes
them different but on what makes them the same?
Some on the left would have howled. But I suspect that Clinton would be president today.

The myth, which liberals
like myself find tempting, is that only the right has changed. In June
2015, we tell ourselves, Donald Trump rode down his golden escalator and
pretty soon nativism, long a feature of conservative politics, had
engulfed it. But that’s not the full story. If the right has grown more
nationalistic, the left has grown less so. A decade ago, liberals
publicly questioned immigration in ways that would shock many
progressives today.

In its immigration section, the 2008 platform referred three times to people entering the country “illegally.” The immigration section of the 2016 platform didn’t use the word illegal, or any variation of it, at all.
There are several explanations
for liberals’ shift. The first is that they have changed because the
reality on the ground has changed, particularly as regards illegal
immigration. In the two decades preceding 2008, the United States
experienced sharp growth in its undocumented population. Since then, the
numbers have leveled off.
But this alone doesn’t explain the
transformation. The number of undocumented people in the United States
hasn’t gone down significantly, after all; it’s stayed roughly the same.
So the economic concerns that Krugman raised a decade ago remain
relevant today.A larger explanation is political. Between 2008 and 2016, Democrats became more and more confident that the country’s growing Latino population gave the party an electoral edge. To win the presidency, Democrats convinced themselves, they didn’t need to reassure white people skeptical of immigration so long as they turned out their Latino base. “The fastest-growing sector of the American electorate stampeded toward the Democrats this November,” Salon declared after Obama’s 2008 win. “If that pattern continues, the GOP is doomed to 40 years of wandering in a desert.”

(Peri says grants like those from Microsoft and New American Economy are neither large nor crucial to his work, and that “they don’t determine … the direction of my academic research.”)
None of this means
that liberals should oppose immigration. Entry to the United States is,
for starters, a boon to immigrants and to the family members back home
to whom they send money. It should be valued on these moral grounds
alone. But immigration benefits the economy, too. Because immigrants are
more likely than native-born Americans to be of working age, they
improve the ratio of workers to retirees, which helps keep programs like
Social Security and Medicare solvent. Immigration has also been found
to boost productivity, and the National Academies report finds that
“natives’ incomes rise in aggregate as a result of immigration.”
One way of mitigating this problem would be to scrap the current system, which allows immigrants living in the U.S. to bring certain close relatives to the country, in favor of what Donald Trump in February called a “merit based” approach that prioritizes highly skilled and educated workers. The problem with this idea, from a liberal perspective, is its cruelty. It denies many immigrants who are already here the ability to reunite with their loved ones.

Promoting assimilation need not
mean expecting immigrants to abandon their culture. But it does mean
breaking down the barriers that segregate them from the native-born. And
it means celebrating America’s diversity less, and its unity more.
Writing last year in American Sociological Review,
Ariela Schachter, a sociology professor at Washington University in St.
Louis, examined the factors that influence how native-born whites view
immigrants. Foremost among them is an immigrant’s legal status. Given
that natives often assume Latinos are undocumented even when they
aren’t, it follows that illegal immigration indirectly undermines the
status of those Latinos who live in the U.S. legally. That’s why
conservatives rail against government benefits for undocumented
immigrants (even though the undocumented are already barred from
receiving many of those benefits): They know Americans will be more
reluctant to support government programs if they believe those programs
to be benefiting people who have entered the country illegally.Liberal immigration policy must work to ensure that immigrants do not occupy a separate legal caste. This means opposing the guest-worker programs—beloved by many Democrat-friendly tech companies, among other employers—that require immigrants to work in a particular job to remain in the U.S. Some scholars believe such programs drive down wages; they certainly inhibit assimilation. And, as Schachter’s research suggests, strengthening the bonds of identity between natives and immigrants is harder when natives and immigrants are not equal under the law.

But making sure companies follow the law and verify the legal status of their employees would curtail it too: Migrants would presumably be less likely to come to the U.S. if they know they won’t be able to find work.

In her 2005 book, The Authoritarian Dynamic, which has been heralded for identifying the forces that powered Trump’s campaign, Karen Stenner, then a professor of politics at Princeton, wrote:
Exposure to difference, talking about difference, and applauding difference—the hallmarks of liberal democracy—are the surest ways to aggravate those who are innately intolerant, and to guarantee the increased expression of their predispositions in manifestly intolerant attitudes and behaviors. Paradoxically, then, it would seem that we can best limit intolerance of difference by parading, talking about, and applauding our sameness.The next Democratic presidential nominee should commit those words to memory. There’s a reason Barack Obama’s declaration at the 2004 Democratic National Convention that “there is not a liberal America and a conservative America … There is not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America” is among his most famous lines. Americans know that liberals celebrate diversity. They’re less sure that liberals celebrate unity. And Obama’s ability to effectively do the latter probably contributed to the fact that he—a black man with a Muslim-sounding name—twice won a higher percentage of the white vote than did Hillary Clinton.
Some on the left would have howled. But I suspect that Clinton would be president today.

Why Hillary and Her Wall Street Donors
Don’t Want Trump’s Wall
When GOP presidential
candidate Donald Trump first talked about building a “big, beautiful wall” at
the southern border of the U.S. he was met with fierce resistance. Given the facts that the southern border is the main route used
by drug smugglers and criminal illegal immigrants (all persons who cross
the border illegal commit a Federal misdemeanor the first time, a felony the
second time) there would not seem to be a good reason to resist lawful
regulation of border entry. As usual, the answer may be in who gains from
the absence of a Wall, and what they gain. The best way to get the answer is to
follow the money.
Right now the transfer
of money from persons working in the U.S. to Mexico, called “personal
remittances” are a major source of Mexican revenue. The growth of remittance
revenue is a recent development. Mexico seized the assets of nearly all foreign
oil companies operating in Mexico in 1938. But as American sanctuary cities flouted Federal law and
encouraged illegal immigration after 1980, those working in the U.S. started to
wire transfer money back to their families in amounts that became so large that
by the late 1990s remittances to Mexico were the second largest source of
foreign revenues, second only to oil revenues.
According to the World
Bank, in 2015 the world’s top remittance corridor was from the United States to
Mexico. As much as $25.2 billion dollars was sent back to Mexico from people
working in the U.S. Remittances are a great source of revenue for Mexico and
are more stable than all other flows such as oil.

In 1979 the Police Chief
of Los Angeles publicly stated that he would not enforce immigration law.
Following this announcement, which was the effective beginning of Los Angeles
as a sanctuary city, remittances to Mexico from the U.S. grew very rapidly from
only $177 million in 1979 to $26.9 billion in 2007, following the growth of
those sectors of the economy such as construction where illegal immigrants
worked. After the 2007 economic peak there was a drop in 2009 to $22 billion.
But in 2015 the amount of remittances climbed back to $26.2 billion, according to
the World Bank. Ninety-eight percent
of all remittances sent to Mexico
come from the U.S.
It is no coincidence
that the most rapid growth occurred from 2000 to 2008 when Vincente Fox was the
president of Mexico. This is why the most emotional and energetic resistance to
the Wall came from Vincente
Fox, who used abusive language toward Trump. His statement were cloaked in
emotion and anger, a skillfully crafted disguise for the real reason for his
concern: money.
One in every eleven persons born in Mexico has
gone to the U.S. The National Review reported that in 2014 $1.87 billion was
spent on incarcerating illegal immigrant criminals.
Since the political
economy of Los Angeles depends so heavily on the Federal and state program
money that supports illegal immigration, the Los AngelesTimes still
defends Special Order 40 as essential to,
paradoxically, law and order. It’s also essential to the economy of Los Angeles
but somehow the Times doesn’t mention that fact.

THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES HANDS INVADING ILLEGALS ONE BILLION IN
WELFARE.
90% OF ALL MURDERS IN LOS ANGELES ARE BY MEXICANS.
THE TAX FREE UNDERGROUND ECONOMY IN L.A. COUNTY IS ESTIMATED TO

One may ask why the
Federal government chooses to spend so much money on the incarceration of
criminal aliens by defying the Federal 1996 Immigration Act. But it’s important
to keep in mind the benefits the Federal government, particularly the Democrat
Party, the party of government sector teacher unions, obtains from illegal
immigration. After all, their four biggest campaign contributors, the Service Employees
International Union, the National Education Association, American Federation of
State, County and Municipal Employees and American Federation of Teachers are
four of the top six contributors from 1989 to present. And they give over 99%
of their contributors to Democrats. Today sixty five percent of public school
students in Los Angeles County are Hispanic. In
Chicago 46% are Hispanic.
Democrats, who have dominated almost all large metropolitan
areas since FDR, are heavily dependent on illegal immigrants and their
children.
Should Trump build an
effective wall, he would disrupt the flow of illegal immigrants, public school
students, teacher union donations and block grant money to all their most
important bases of electoral and demographic support. Trump’s wall is the major
threat to what they see as their party’s long term goal of maintaining control
of state governments as well as the national government.
Multimillionaire Jorge Ramos of Univision has
criticized Trump aggressively. While Univision may have no obvious direct
financial interest in remittances, their TV network certainly stands to profit
from increases in Hispanic viewership, increases that are totally dependent on
the growth of the Hispanic populations in cities they serve.

BLOG: CRIMINAL BANKSTERS WELLS FARGO and BANK of ILLEGALS (AMERICA)
ARE MAJOR DONORS TO THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA “The Race”.
In short, everything
that matters to Hillary and her Democrat Party is existentially threatened by
Trump’s wall. And as a personal matter, Hillary’smulti-million dollar speech income from Wall Street contributors is also
threatened: the banks make money from the wire transfers. Every time someone in
the U.S. wires money to Mexico, the banks, currency exchanges, and other
providers of wire transfer services make easy money. And the loss of low
paying jobs to teenagers and seniors to illegal immigrants also contributes to
the recession. Hillary and her party supporters desperately need illegal
immigrants: Hillary is bought and paid for.
We now know that the big
Wall Street banks bought her and you are paying for it in many ways. Hillary
will not reveal what she has said to big bank contributors, but it is not
unlikely that she reassured them that she will allow an open border to exist on the
Southern part of the U.S. Recent email leaks have confirmed that she believes
in open borders.
And then there’s the
humanitarian issue. After all, the rationalization for allowing illegal
immigration is that we need people to do “low paid jobs no one else will do.”
This is a racist, humiliating characterization of Hispanics from Mexico and
other Central American countries. America’s most shameful chapter in its
history was its promotion of the institution of slavery, the importation of
blacks from Africa to do “low paid jobs no one else will do.” It is hard to
understand how anyone with sensitivity toward racial minorities can now bring up
another generation of low paid workers. Vincente Fox never discusses this
abuse, or the rape trees human smugglers
construct as monuments to their criminal rape of young Hispanic women illegally
crossing the border from the South.
Those following the
money trail would say this follows the pattern perfectly: that Hillary allows
illegal immigrants to be exploited by cartels and rapists in order for the
banks she protects to collect their remittance transfer money. Somehow these
humanitarian topics are avoided. We know that Wall Street investment banks gave
tens of millions to support Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. These same banks
make easy profits from of illegal immigrant bank transfer fees as well as high
interest rate home loans and car loans targeted to Hispanics.
Hillary’s lack of
humanitarian concern is accompanied by a silence toward the issue of
money.

The sputtering economic recovering under President Obama, the last

ranks as the worst since the 1930s Great Depression, according to a new report.

Depression, according to the report, family incomes would be $17,000 higher,
six million fewer Americans would be in poverty, and there would be six million
more jobs.

from Mexico into U.S. up 23 percent from 2015
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (UPI)
— The total apprehensions by U.S. Border Patrol agents of people trying to
illegally cross the border between the United States and Mexico increased in
2016 from last year but is lower than the two years prior.
In 2016, there were
408,870 total apprehensions, a 23 percent increase from 2015 in which there
were 331,333 apprehensions, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh
Johnson said in a statement. The 2016 numbers, though, represent a 14.7 percent
decrease from the 479,371 apprehensions in 2014, and a 1.3 percent decrease
from the 414,397 apprehensions in 2013.
“The demographics of
illegal migration on our southern border has changed significantly over the
last 15 years — far fewer Mexicans and single adults are attempting to cross
the border without authorization, but more families and unaccompanied children
are fleeing poverty and violence in Central America,” Johnson wrote.
The number of Central
Americans apprehended at the southern border outnumbered Mexicans for the first
time in 2014, and in 2016 the situation occurred again, Johnson added.
In 2016, there were
59,692 unaccompanied children, 77,674 people who attempted to cross the border
as a family, and 271,504 individuals who attempted to cross the border
illegally.
Johnson said that though
President Barack Obama’s administration has “endeavored to enforce the
immigration laws in a fair and humane way … the reality is the system is broken,
and badly need of comprehensive immigration reform that only Congress can
provide.”
Johnson called on
Congress and the United States’ next president, likely to be either Democratic
nominee Hillary Clinton or Republican nominee Donald Trump, to “make smart
investments in border security technology, equipment and other resources.”
“Border security alone
cannot overcome the powerful push factors of poverty and violence that exist in
Central America. Walls alone cannot prevent illegal migration,” Johnson wrote.
“Ultimately, the solution is long-term investment in Central America to address
the underlying push factors in the region.”

employers who hire them, curb taxpayer-funded benefits, deploy the National
Guard to help the feds at the border and penalize 'sanctuary' cities.
“Illegal
immigration is another matter entirely. With the state budget in tatters,
millions of residents out of work and a state prison system strained by massive
overcrowding, California simply cannot continue to ignore the strain that
illegal immigration puts on our budget and economy. Illegal aliens cost
taxpayers in our state billions of dollars each year. As economist Philip J. Romero
concluded in a 2007 study, "illegal immigrants impose a 'tax' on legal
California residents in the tens of billions of dollars."

Casting a shadow on economic recovery efforts in the United States
is the cost of illegal immigration that consumes U.S. taxpayer dollars for
education, healthcare, social welfare benefits, and criminal justice. Illegal
aliens (or more politically correct, “undocumented immigrants”) with ties to
Mexican drug cartels are contributing to death and destruction on U.S. lands
along the southern border.
While the declining job market in the United States may be
discouraging some would-be border crossers, a flow of illegal aliens continues
unabated, with many entering the United States as drug-smuggling “mules.”

Crime rate plummets when Phoenix drops sanctuary city policies
By Rick Moran
A study
by City.com reveals that the crime rate in Phoenix dropped dramatically after
the city dropped its sanctuary city policies.
There
are many reason why crime rates decline over a certain period of time. But the
study suggests a provacative link between fewer criminal illegal aliens roaming
the streets and a falling crime rate.
“When
we eliminated our sanctuary policy back in 2008, we saw crime, violent and
stolen vehicles fall by 25 percent,” former Phoenix police officer and
Executive Director of the Arizona Police Association Levi Bolton told Fox News
Channel’s William La Jeunesse in an interview. “We saw a 20-year low crime rate. When we were
allowed and had the discretion to contact our federal immigration partners,
crime fell drastically.”
Lajeunesse reported data from City-Data.com revealing that from
2008 to 2009, the murder rate in Phoenix dropped by 27 percent. Other crimes fell
as well. Auto thefts fell by 36 percent, robberies 23 percent, thefts by 19
percent, burglaries by 14 percent, and assaults by 13 percent, the report
states. The rates fell again in 2010, but by smaller numbers. The overall crime
index fell by 20 percent the first year after the city’s policy change.
Police
chiefs around the country tout that sanctuary cities are safer than cities that
actually turn criminal aliens over to immigration officials for removal from
the country.
“Police
chiefs across the nation believe that enlisting local police to enforce
immigration law is a bad idea,” California Senate President Pro Tem Kevin De
Leon (D) told reporters during a recent press conference “Having [Immigration
and Customs Enforcement] pluck criminals out of jail and send them across the
border or wherever they came only to come right back endangers our
communities.”
The
University of California, Riverside, disagrees. A 2016 study by the university
revealed that “violent crime is slightly higher in sanctuary cities.” It
concluded there is not a “discernible difference in violent crime rates, rape,
or property crime” across the 55 cities in their study, La Jeunesse reported.
Finding
a direct, causal link between the crime rate and illegal alien criminals is
difficult because there are so many factors besides illegals that must be
considered, including incarceration rates, declining or increasing population,
even the amount of resources devoted to crime prevention.
Having
said that, it's hard to escape the conclusion that turning illegals over to the
feds has had a positive impact on reducing crime. I suppose it depends on your
point of view. If you are disposed to reject any evidence that removing
criminal illegal aliens from the community could reduce the number of serious
crimes, you can find plenty of ammunition to buttress your point of view.
But
to do that, you have to ignore the totality of the evidence. And although
statistics from one city could be an outlier, it will be interesting to examine
statistics from other cities that have changed their policies.

Although MS-13 started out in Salvadoran

New York Times voices moral outrage over profiteering military contractors ... in Russia
By Bill Van Auken
11 July 2017
In an editorial published Monday, “The Spoils, and Profits, of Conflict,” the editors of the New York Times worked themselves into a moral lather over war profiteering by military contractors.
The subject is unquestionably one worth pursuing in a country that is engaged in at least seven different military conflicts, has troops stationed in nearly 150 countries and spends more on arms than the next nine largest military powers combined.
That these wars translate into massive profits for the arms industry and obscene fortunes for their stockholders, even as the American troops who do the killing and dying are drawn overwhelmingly from the working class and poor, is one of Washington’s dirty little secrets.
But the target of the Times’ umbrage is not the sprawling US military-industrial complex, but rather a little known Russian firm, Evro Polis, which, according to sources quoted by the newspaper, has made a deal with the Syrian government to provide private military contractors in return for Damascus guaranteeing it a share of the oil revenues from the areas that it retakes from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The newspaper describes the deal as “shadowy and secret” and reports that at the head of the company is a figure “close to President Vladimir Putin.” It goes on to provide what it presents as a shocking quote from an unnamed private security consultant that “War is business.”
The Times’ editors, seemingly conscious that they are treading on thin ice, acknowledge that “mercenaries have always been around” and even “played a major role with US forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.” It goes on to cite the infamous 2007 Nisour Square massacre in Baghdad, in which mercenary gunmen employed by the major US military contractor Blackwater gunned down 17 Iraqi civilians and wounded another 20.
Nonetheless, the newspaper insists, there is something uniquely nefarious about the deal between Evro Polis and the Syrian government, declaring that “turning the fight into a private scramble for profit is a dangerous and ignoble gambit.”
At this stage, after some 16 years of the US “war on terror,” the decimation of entire societies in the Middle East and the destruction of more than a million lives as a result of US acts of aggression, who does the Times editorial board think it is kidding?
Whatever the role of Evro Polis, its connection to the Russian government and the semi-criminal oligarchy that it represents, the fact of the matter is that it represents less than small potatoes in relation to the vast army of mercenary military contractors deployed by Washington, and the multi-billion-dollar corporations that profit from their exploits.
In Afghanistan today, there are nearly three military contractors for every US soldier deployed on the ground. In Iraq, contractors are 42 percent of the force fielded by the Pentagon.
As for “shadowy and secret” deals and close relations between military contractors and top government officials, this is hardly a Russian innovation. Has it escaped the memory of the Times editors that the largest military contractor in the Iraq war, scooping up seemingly unlimited billions of dollars worth of no-bid contracts, was Halliburton (now KBR), whose former CEO was none other than Vice President Dick Cheney?
This incestuous relationship underscoring the “war is business” model has been reprised under the current administration, with the elevation of the former ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson to the post of secretary of state.
And while citing Blackwater (which has since chosen the innocuous name Academi in an attempt to escape its legacy of blood and filth) as a fleeting historical reference, the Times doesn’t bother recalling for its readers that the company’s former CEO Erik Prince is the brother of current Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, and that he serves as an unofficial adviser to Trump, while continuing to reap huge profits off of the “private security” racket.
As for the feigned outrage over anyone who would dare turn war into a “scramble for profit,” the truth is that this is precisely what it has been since the advent of imperialism, and never more nakedly than in the past quarter century of uninterrupted US military interventions. As the Times foreign affairs commentator Thomas Friedman infamously commented—after first trying to sell the illegal invasion of Iraq as a legitimate response to non-existent “weapons of mass destruction” and a crusade for democracy and human rights in the Middle East—“I have no problem with a war for oil.”
The feigned shock of Times editorial page editor James Bennet over Russian military contractors embracing the profit motive beggars belief. After all, didn’t the newspaper support capitalist restoration and the dissolution of the Soviet Union? The editorial is merely one more piece of war propaganda on behalf of those sections of the military and intelligence apparatus and the ruling establishment as a whole that see Russia as the foremost obstacle to US imperialism’s drive to assert global hegemony.
Bennet, the brother of right-wing Democratic Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado and son of Douglas Bennet, a former top State Department official who headed the Agency for International Development (AID), a frequent conduit for CIA operations, is closely attuned to these circles.
The problem for these factions for which the Times speaks is not that Russia is using mercenaries, but that its activities are cutting across crucial geo-strategic interests of American imperialism in Syria and the broader Middle East.
The newspaper’s hypocritical and hollow attempts to generate outrage over a military contract that is dwarfed by any number of similar deals struck by US war firms is part of an attempt to shift the Trump administration toward a more aggressive policy toward Moscow and, more decisively, counter the immense popular hostility in the US toward escalating a military confrontation with the world’s second-largest nuclear power.

It happens all the time. If the antiwar movement takes on the Democrats for their bitter shortcomings, a few liberals are bound to criticize us for not hounding Bush instead. It doesn't even have to be an election year to get the progressives fired up. They just don't seem to get it. "How can you attack the Democrats when we have such a bulletproof administration ruling the roost in Washington?" somebody recently e-mailed me. "Don't you have something better to do than write this trash?!"
Well, not really. It's too cold in upstate New York right now to do anything other than fume over the liberal villains in Washington. "Why do I write about the putrid Democratic Party?" I responded, "I'll tell you, there's a reason this Republican administration is so damn bulletproof – nobody from the opposition party is taking aim and pulling the trigger."
And that's why the Dems are just as culpable in all that has transpired since Bush took office in 2000. They aren't just a part of the problem – the Democrats are the problem.
I mean, who is really all that surprised Bush and his boys wanted to conquer the Middle East? Not me. That's just what unreasonable neocons do: they stomp out the little guy, kill off the weak, and suffocate the voiceless. They only care about the girth of their wallets and the number of scalps they can tack above their mantles.
The Democrats aren't just letting the Republicans get away with murder, however: some of them are also reaping the benefits of the Bush wars. We constantly hear about Dick Cheney's ties to Halliburton and how his ex-company is making bundles off U.S. contracts in Iraq. But what we don't hear about is how Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and her husband are also making tons of money off the "war on terror."
The wishy-washy senator now claims Bush misled her prior to the invasion of Iraq. I don't think she's being honest with us, though. There may have been other reasons she helped sell Bush's lies. According to the Center for Public Integrity, Feinstein's husband Richard Blum has racked in millions of dollars from Perini, a civil infrastructure construction company, of which the billionaire investor wields a 75 percent voting share.
In April 2003, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gave $500 million to Perini to provide services for Iraq's Central Command. A month earlier in March 2003, Perini was awarded $25 million to design and construct a facility to support the Afghan National Army near Kabul. And in March 2004, Perini was awarded a hefty contract worth up to $500 million for "electrical power distribution and transmission" in southern Iraq.
Feinstein, who sits on the Senate
Appropriations Committee as well as the
Select Committee on Intelligence, is reaping
the benefits of her husband's investments.
The Democratic royal family recently
purchased a $16.5 million mansion in the
flush Pacific Heights neighborhood of San
Francisco. It's a disgusting display of war
profiteering, and just like Cheney, the leading
Democrat should be called out for her
offense.
And that's exactly why the Bush
administration is so darn bulletproof.
The Democratic leadership in
Washington is just as crooked and just
as callous.

War profiteering
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A war profiteer is any person or organization that profits from warfare or by selling weapons and other goods to parties at war. The term can have strong, negative connotations. General profiteering may also occur in peace time. An example of war profiteers were the "shoddy" millionaires who allegedly sold recycled wool and cardboard shoes to soldiers during the American Civil War. The ten highest war profiteers are Lockheed Martin, Boeing, BAE Systems, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company EADS, Finmeccanica, L-3 Communications, and United Technologies.[1] These corporations are all directly connected with production of weapons, machinery, vehicles, aircraft, electronics and artillery(including missiles) and as such have significant political influence given their lobbying efforts and campaign contributions to members of the United States Congress in the promotion of war efforts. In 2010, the defense industry spent $144 million on lobbying and donated over $22.6 million to congressional candidates.[2]
In the United States[edit]
Companies such as Halliburton have been criticized in the context of the Iraq War for their perceived war profiteering.[24]
Steven Clemons, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation think tank, has accused former CIA Director James Woolseyof both profiting from and promoting the Iraq War.[25]
The Center for Public Integrity has reported that US Senator Dianne Feinstein, who voted in favor of the Iraq Resolution, and her husband, Richard Blum, are making millions of dollars from Iraq and Afghanistan contracts through his company, Tutor Perini Corporation.[26][27]
Indicted defense contractor Brent R. Wilkes was reported to be ecstatic when hearing that the United States was going to go to war with Iraq. "He and some of his top executives were really gung-ho about the war," said a former employee. "Brent said this would create new opportunities for the company. He was really excited about doing business in the Middle East."[28]
The War Profiteering Prevention Act of 2007 intended to create criminal penalties for war profiteers and others who exploit taxpayer-funded efforts in Iraq and elsewhere around the world.[29] This act was introduced first on April 25, 2007, but was never enacted into law.[30] War profiteering cases are often brought under the Civil False Claims Act, which was enacted in 1863 to combat war profiteering during the Civil War.[31]
Major General Smedley Butler, USMC, criticized war profiteering of US companies during World War I in War Is a Racket. He wrote about how some companies and corporations increase their earnings and profits by up to 1,700 percent and how many companies willingly sold equipment and supplies to the US that had no relevant use in the war effort. In the book, Butler stated that "It has been estimated by statisticians and economists and researchers that the war cost your Uncle Sam $52,000,000,000. Of this sum, $39,000,000,000 was expended in the actual war period. This expenditure yielded $16,000,000,000 in profits."[32]
In the American Civil War, concerns about war profiteering were not limited to the activities of a few "shoddy" millionaires in the North. In the Confederacy, where supplies were severely limited, and hardships common, the mere suggestion of profiteering was considered a scurrilous charge. Georgia Quartermaster General Ira Roe Foster attempted to increase the supply of material to the troops by urging the women of his state to knit 50,000 pairs of socks. Foster's sock campaign stimulated the supply of the much needed item, but it also met with a certain amount of suspicion and backlash. Either the result of a Union disinformation campaign, or the work of suspicious minds, rumors, which Foster denied as a "malicious falsehood!",[33] began to spread that Foster and others were profiteering from the socks.[33] It was alleged that contributed socks were being sold, rather than given freely to the troops. The charge was not without precedent. The historian Jeanie Attie notes that in 1861, an "especially damaging rumor" (later found to be true) had circulated in the North, alleging that the Union Army had purchased 5,000 pairs of socks which had been donated, and intended for the troops, from a private relief agency, the United States Sanitary Commission.[34] As the Sanitary Commission had done in the North, Foster undertook a propaganda campaign in Georgia newspapers to combat the damaging rumors and to encourage the continued contribution of socks.[35] He offered $1,000.00 to any "citizen or soldier who will come forward and prove that he ever bought a sock from this Department that was either knit by the ladies or purchased for issue to said troops."[33]
Unacceptable! Senator Profits from War and Post Office
Shortly after San Francisco's then-Mayor Dianne Feinstein married private equity financier Richard C. Blum in 1980, those who knew them called theirs "a marriage of the public and private sectors."
Although Feinstein lost a gubernatorial bid to Republican Pete Wilson, she soon took his seat in the U.S. Senate. Working across the aisle, her power rapidly grew along with her husband's diversified investments and their mutual wealth.1
• As Chair and ranking member of the Military Construction and Appropriations Subcommittee, Senator Feinstein appears to have steered contracts to companies controlled by her husband.2 Blum has profited handsomely from military contracts.3
• In 2009, Senator Feinstein introduced legislation to provide $25 billion in taxpayer money to the FDIC after it gave Blum's CBRE real estate company a contract to sell foreclosed properties at unusually high rates.4
• As a Regent of the University of California, Blum appears to have profited from contracts with the UC-run nuclear weapons laboratory at Los Alamos.5
• In the summer of 2012, the U.S. Postal Service awarded Blum's CBRE company the exclusive contract to sell its portfolio of public properties. Feinstein's office denies any influence in the awarding of the contract.6

Ask your Senators to request an Ethics Committee investigation of Senator Dianne Feinstein now.

Had Hillary Clinton Won the Election...
To paraphrase Robert Frost, America has taken the road less traveled. We elected a political outsider. What might America look like today if Hillary had been elected? Had she won we would not be hearing a single word about Russia. Not a whisper. It was not on the left's radar at all. Ms. Clinton had embarrassed herself with that inane Office Depot reset button while she was Secretary of State. Obama had told Medvedev to tell "Vlad" he would have more flexibility after the election, presumably re: nuclear disarmament. The left cared nothing about that bit of collusion.
Hillary and her campaign aides have long been involved with Russia for reasons of personal gain. Clinton herself got $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation for allowing Russia to take over twenty percent of all uranium production in the U.S. Her campaign chairman, John Podesta, is reaping the financial benefits of being on the board of a Russian company, Joule, which hedid not disclose. Besides, the Left has historically loved Russia and wanted to emulate its authoritarian governments. They laughed when Mitt Romney, in 2012, named Russia as our most serious foreign policy problem. And Obama, even when he knew/believed that Russia was attempting to meddle in the election, he did nothing. They've done it for decades and so what? Hillary was going to win.
Had Hillary been elected, the Clinton Foundation would be raking in even more millions than it did before. She would be happily selling access, favors and our remaining freedoms out from under us. She would be further eviscerating our military and she would be raising taxes to fund Obamacare even though it is a clear and present disaster. Anyone who doubts that should look up Hillarycare,the monstrosity she designed behind closed doors when her husband was in the White House. Her plan would dictate who could go to medical school, what specialty they would "choose," and where they would be compelled to practice. Her plan was the U.K.'s NHS on steroids. Her plan was rationed care and death panels from hell.
Had HRC won, she would be implementing thousands of new regulations on businesses to further hamstring the economy. She would let the fascist freaks at the Environmental Protection Agency have their way with every aspect of our daily lives: Our cars, our showerheads, our toilets, our rainwater in our yards, etc. She would, like the EPA under Obama, privilege any species, no matter how insignificant, over humans. Central California has been devastated by the environmentalists' reverence for the delta smelt! Thousands of farm workers lost their jobs thanks to this lefty decision, turning a lush agricultural valley into a brown wasteland in the name of "going green." This is the American left today.
Dr. Ben Carson, Trump's Secretary of HUD has already uncovered $520 billion in fraud that occurred under Obama. Two-thirds of the people who gotObamaphones at taxpayer expense, lied. That program was riddled with fraud.
Had Hillary been elected, the stock market would be tanking rather than booming. Every one of her policies would have been an economic wet blanket. She would have instituted a minimum wage by executive order and thousands of more small businesses would be closing. Instead, the stock market has gained $2 trillion in wealth since Trump was elected. Hillary would have already increased our $20 trillion in national debt; Trump reduced it by $100m in his first hundred days. Job numbers would have fallen under Hillary; Trump added nearly 300k jobs in the first month after his inauguration. Housing sales would have fallen under Hillary because even fewer people would have been able to afford to buy a home. Under Trump, housing sales have increased for the first time since 2011.
Had Hillary won, she would, as promised, have increased the number of refugees from the Middle East, Mexico and Central America. There would be countless more potential terrorists in our midst, thousands more on public assistance on the taxpayer's dime. Under Trump, illegal immigration is down 67%. The DOJ, under Attorney General Jeff Sessions, is rounding up criminal illegals, most of them gang members, many of them released from prisons by Obama to roam our streets with impunity. Hopefully the citizens of sanctuary cities will realize how much safer they and their children will be once this pathetic policy comes to an end. Trump stands firmly behind our law enforcement officers; Hillary would be standing with Black Lives Matter and even more police would be sacrificing their lives to this domestic terrorist group and its anti-cop rhetoric.
Hillary, like the rest of the left, hates the Second Amendment. Had she won, it would likely have been abrogated out of existence. Law-abiding citizens would be relegated to victim status by decree, no longer allowed to defend themselves from the always armed criminals while the likes of Hillary and her crowd live in gated mansion and have armed guards. "For me but not for thee" is the mantra of the left. She would be taking the nation in the direction of Oregon, which is fast becoming the fascist state the left so admires.
Trump was vilified throughout the campaign for repeatedly calling out NATO members for not paying their minimal fair share. Since he won, allied spending is up $10 billion! Then there is the Supreme Court. We now have another constitutional scholar, like Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito, on the bench who may just do Antonin Scalia proud. Trump will likely get the chance to appoint two more justices in the coming years. Given the power our courts have grasped for themselves, his appointments of jurists who revere our founding documents may be the only path back to a Constitutional Republic. Neil Gorsuch is the first step.
Trump took us out of the Paris Climate Accord, a $2.5 trillion economy killer. He got us out of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership that would have been great for the eleven other nations in it, and bad for America. As he promised, he is putting America and American workers first. The left and the media hate him for all this. They have been rendered apoplectic and thoroughly irrational. Their response to his glorious speech in Warsaw, was that it was racist, xenophobic, tribalist. How dare he preference Western Civilization! They no longer hear actual words spoken. They hear what their radical ideology dictates they must hear when Trump speaks. If he said it, it must be racist, it must be sexist, it must be nationalist, etc. They are completely unable to grasp the meaning of Trump. Had Hillary won, this miraculous nation would be continuing the death spiral Obama set in motion eight years ago. It's almost as though divine providence has rescued us once again as it has at so many crucial times over the past 241 years..
The following story, which ran on Circa, should be extremely important but I am sure that most of the media will ignore it. It shows that Hillary was willing to ignore ethics laws if people donated to the Clinton Foundation.

Clintons: The pay to play family
The following story, which ran on Circa, should be extremely important but I am sure that most of the media will ignore it. It shows that Hillary was willing to ignore ethics laws if people donated to the Clinton Foundation.
From the article:
“While secretary of state, Hillary Clinton made a personal call to pressure Bangladesh’s prime minister to aid a donor to her husband’s charitable foundation despite federal ethics laws that require government officials to recuse themselves from matters that could impact their spouse’s business.”
Instead of working for the American people Hillary also enriched herself and the Foundation by granting access to donors and to people or countries who would pay Bill big money for speeches. There are many stories that show how much access she gave to donors.
Even Uranium was available to the Russians for a price.
Throughout their adult lives, the Clintons have enriched themselves through their political power. They did not start businesses or invent anything. They provided access and favors for a price.
The Democratic Party enabled them to enrich themselves by continually supporting them and looking the other way. The Justice Department and President Obama also didn’t care. The media have been the biggest culprits because, instead of holding the Clintons to account, they have endorsed them for whatever positions they have sought no matter what they have done.
If anyone wants to know why we have to drain the swamp they just need to look at the Clinton example. Entrenched politicians and bureaucrats from both parties evolve to believe that the taxpayer money is theirs to use as they like. They hand it out like candy to buy votes or to enrich themselves. Hence, throughout the country we are broke.The taxpayers are continually screwed while the government says they need more money and those requests are almost universally supported by the media.
I believe I have found why so much of the supposed news that we get support politicians who believe in big government and call those of who believe in smaller government and economic freedom far right wing extremists.
From the following article:
“In the latest sign that Washington operates in an alternate economy, journalism jobs around the country dove 22 percent in the last 10 years, but they spiked a whopping 38 percent in the nation's capital, according to a new economic study. What's more, salaries for Washington journalists rose 7 percent while diving nationally.While 12,000 reporting jobs were eliminated in most markets in the last decade, the Washington journalism market expanded from 2,190 to 3,030. That is more than five journalists for every single House and Senate member.”
It would be helpful if the local newspapers throughout the country used more local reporters instead of reprinting so much that comes out of D.C. Maybe we can get a variety of viewpoints instead of so much groupthink.
THE FINAL DAYS OF BILLARY & HILLARY:
GLOBAL LOOTERS OF THE POOR
“Clinton is finished. She is never going to become the American Messalina.”
“But if she shows any sign of weakness, her cronies will begin to desert her, those she trampled on and harmed will seek payback, and the authorities will at last stir themselves to look into things. The current investigations will continue and expand. Others will be opened. Clinton can look forward to an old age spent in courthouses and committee rooms. She will end up as one of those Mafia dons slumped in a wheelchair while the lawyers attempt to generate sympathy. And that’s fine. She has earned the most Hellenic of punishments.”
"This offers cold comfort to millions of college students saddled with massive debt and workers confronting the prospect of dead-end, low-wage and part-time jobs. The economic legacy of the Obama administration has been a bonanza for Wall Street, with huge income gains for the top 1 percent and falling and stagnating wages for the vast majority. The main beneficiaries have been wealthy individuals like Chelsea Clinton herself, who is married to a hedge fund manager."

HILLARY & BILLARY: Their Looting of the Poor of Haiti
“The couple parlayed lives supposedly spent in “public service” into admission into the upper stratosphere of American wealth, with incomes in the top 0.1 percent bracket. The source of this vast wealth was a political machine that might well be dubbed “Clinton, Inc.” This consists essentially of a seedy money-laundering operation to ensure big business support for the Clintons’ political ambitions as well as their personal fortunes. The basic components of the operation are lavishly paid speeches to Wall Street and Fortune 500 audiences, corporate campaign contributions, and donations to the ostensibly philanthropic Clinton Foundation.”
Trump’s biggest mistake – not going after Hillary
Trump’s biggest mistake – not going after Hillary
When Donald Trump said he would not pursue legal action against Hillary Clinton after he won the election, the majority of his supporters were not happy. After all, what Hillary, her family. and the
Clinton Foundation actually did, or were accused
of doing through credible evidence, was obviously
criminal.
Fast forward to today and the onslaught of false Russian collusion accusations against President Trump and it is obvious why not going after Hillary was a huge mistake.
After the election there always seems to be, there is a kind of political vacuum period. It is usually called a honeymoon for a newly elected president. Unfortunately, this period of time is mostly controlled by the media.
In most cases this period is filled with relatively positive and generally inquisitive news from the media about a new president’s agenda, who he is putting together his team and figuring out how he plans to implement his policies. There is often positive news during this period about the new first family and how they will perform in their new public role. But in the case of President Trump, it was abundantly clear after a mostly vicious political battle between the Trump and Hillary. that there was only one candidate eligible to be granted a honeymoon period by the liberal news media – Hillary Clinton. And if Donald Trump were to actually win the election, as he did, there be hell to pay. Welcome to Hell President Trump.
There is no way Donald Trump or any of his political advisors couldn’t have seen this coming. And if there was any doubt at all by Trump and his team that they would not get a traditional presidential honeymoon, the hundreds of anti-Trump political rallies (more like violent riots) across America calling for “resistance” to President Trump should have been enough to erase any and all doubts. Not to mention the immediate wall-to-wall negative liberal media coverage that began the day after the election.
Donald Trump’s gut instinct to appoint a special prosecutor to go after Hillary Clinton and her family foundation was spot-on. Trump specifically promised America during a debate that he would do this. As a business man who is also well acquainted with
politics, Trump instinctively knew that defeating
Hillary Clinton at the polls would not stop the
attacks by the media, and that he needed to stay on
offense and try to finish off Hillary and the entire
Clinton political machine for good.
But Donald Trump did something he rarely ever does – he went against his gut instinct; blowing his chance to fill the political void with something he knew would eventually benefit his presidency. Trump knew that that something to fill the political void was a legitimate criminal investigation of actual crimes that had been committed by Hillary Clinton.
Trump’s decision to let Hillary off the hook could probably be chalked up as political naiveté – basically wishful thinking on his part that the liberal media would see it as a peace offering and reward him with a presidential honeymoon period. Fat chance! Donald Trump’s political naiveté on this matter was and still is a huge disappointment to his supporters.
The liberal media must have been ecstatic when they realized Donald Trump was giving Hillary a total pass on her criminal activity. The liberal media knew they had just been given a golden opportunity to unleash relentless negative attacks on President Trump the likes of which have never before been seen in American history. The liberal media happily gave Donald Trump something for winning the election - a nightmare he will never forget - a nightmare that has yet to end and will continue on for the next four years if the liberal media continues to get their way.
When Trump announced that he would not pursue legal charges against Hillary, the liberal media took that opportunity and quickly filled the post-election political void with a manufactured story of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign in hopes of destroying the Trump presidency before it could even get off the ground. That political void is now so full of Russian collusion stories that President Trump’s agenda and accomplishments are virtually unknowable by the average American citizen – unless of course they watch Fox News, follow conservative web media or listen to Rush Limbaugh and conservative talk-radio.
So what defense does President Trump, his political team, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and the conservative airwaves offer against the Russian Trump collusion story? They tell whoever will listen that Hillary Clinton actually did break the law. Seriously? So now President Trump and his supporters want to prosecute Hillary Clinton after Trump said he wouldn’t pursue legal action against her? Well that train has left the station. The golden
opportunity to take down Hillary and the entire
Clinton machine was passed over by the president
himself. And even if Trump now tries to revisit Hillary’s criminal activities through lawful means, his efforts will be branded as nothing but a political distraction to try and cover up the liberal media driven fake Russian Trump collusion story.
Had President Trump honored his promise and pursued a broad criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton and her family foundation immediately after he was inaugurated the exact opposite could be happening in the media right now. The political void that is now filled with
Russian Trump collusion stories could have been
filled with criminal investigation stories of Hillary
and her family foundation, collusion between the
media and the Hillary campaign against Bernie
Sanders, collusion between Hillary and Russia
regarding the uranium deal and the kick-backs to
the Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton personally
and probably much more. Had Donald Trump followed his initial gut instinct and gone after Hillary and her family the tables would have been turned on Democrats and the liberal media and the fake news about any Russian Trump collusion would have been branded by the Trump administration and conservative media as a political distraction by Democrats and the liberal media in an attempt to cover-up investigations into actual crimes committed by Hillary Clinton and her family.
So what can President Trump possibly do to turn the tide against the Democrats and liberal media?
How about instead of using Hillary’s criminal activities as a defense against the fake news Russian Trump collusion narrative the Trump administration actually investigates her? If they are so certain she’s guilty then enforce the damn law! And maybe, just maybe, if President Trump urges AG Sessions to empanel a grand jury and re-open the investigation into Hillary Clinton right now, the facts concerning her criminal activity in the news might be enough to quell the Democrats and liberal media zealot’s agenda and get them to ease up on pushing fake news and begin covering news that matters to the forgotten men and women of this great country.
