THE NEW PRIVILEGED CLASS: Illegals
(unregistered democrats)!
This is why you
work From Jan - May paying taxes to the government ....with the rest of the
calendar year is money for you and your family.
Take, for
example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00
or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at
the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, with his fake Social
Security number, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200.....
free.
He qualifies for
Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.
He qualifies for
food stamps.
He qualifies for
free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.
His children get
free breakfasts and lunches at school.
He requires
bilingual teachers and books.
He qualifies for
relief from high energy bills.
If they are or
become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI.
Once qualified
for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's
expense.
He doesn't worry
about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide
Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.
He and his family
receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.
Working Americans
are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after Paying their bills and his.
The American
taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.
Cheap labor? YEAH
RIGHT! Wake up people!
OPEN BORDERS FACILITATE AMERICA’S RACE TO THE BOTTOM
“Cheap labor” is anything but cheap.
January 2, 2019
For decades the United States government, on all levels, has betrayed its own citizens, promoting open borders policies that have come to undermine national security, public safety, public health, and jobs and wages for American workers.
The massive influx of alien children who lack English language proficiency also has a profound impact on the education of American kids. Increasingly schools across the United States are forced to provide costly ESL (English as a Second Language) services draining funds that could and should be used to provide quality education for American children. Additionally, as autism rates soar and with it the growing need for special services and early intervention for such learning challenged children, money that should be spent on those vital programs that could help so many of those children live better and more productive lives is being used, instead, to fund those ESL programs for illegal aliens and frequently the children of illegal aliens who do not speak English in their homes.
When early intervention is withheld from at-risk students, the results are frequently catastrophic, yet with all of the emotional arguments posed by the immigration anarchists who call for compassion for illegal aliens, their calls for compassion utterly disregard the plight of American children.
Open borders policies permit huge numbers of foreign workers to enter the United States and displace American workers, not because American’s “won’t do these jobs” as claimed by the duplicitous politicians, but because these foreign workers are willing to accept lower wages and worse conditions than would the American workers whom they displace.
We can all think back to the days when we were growing up and sought our very first jobs to provide us with some spending money, enabling us to put our foot on the bottom rung of the economic ladder.
We often encountered the conundrum of not being able to get a job without a reference. In order to get a reference we had to have a previous employer vouch for us. This made getting that very first job all the more difficult and, at the same time, all the more important.
I remember my first job, when I was 14 yeas old, working during my summer vacation in a Kosher delicatessen, a short bike ride from home in Brooklyn where I washed dishes, fried potatoes and served hot dogs at the counter, waited on tables and delivered sandwiches to the women who spent hours at the nearby beauty parlors.
It was exciting and empowering to be earning money instead of asking my parents for an allowance. Although I didn’t realize it at the time, that job also provided me with an education in life lessons, teaching me to be responsible, punctual and take instructions from an employer. That job also taught me the value of money, I was far less likely to squander money when I had to work so hard to earn it.
Finally, that job provided me with that important first reference that helped me get other jobs in the future as I climbed the economic ladder to a successful life.
Many of my friends also worked in nearby restaurants. Brooklyn has no shortage of great places to eat, often small “mom and pop” restaurants and everyone of those establishments routinely hired teenagers and college students who were desperate to earn money.
Today most of those jobs in all too many local restaurants and other businesses are not taken by teenage American kids, but but illegal aliens, thereby shutting out Americans.
Consequently, these American kids are often unable to get that first job that would mean so much to them and provide them with important life lessons including a sense of self-worth and empowerment.
Unable to find legitimate employment, some kids, particularly in the poor neighborhoods, resort to committing crimes to get their hands on some money to take a girl on a date or make purchases. This often puts these teenagers on a trajectory that does not end well for them or for their communities, or for America.
Illegal alien day laborers often displace construction workers, resulting in massive unemployment for American and lawful immigrant workers, boosting the profits of their employers who hire them “off the books” and pay them extremely low wages.
The open-borders/immigration anarchists are quick to invoke arguments about the need for compassion. The reality is that there’s no compassion in the exploitation of vulnerable foreign workers nor is there compassion in the destruction of wages and jobs for Americans.
Now with the legalization of marijuana in many cities and states across the United States the issue not being raised in the media is that inasmuch as many companies test their employees for illegal drugs, it is likely that those who are encouraged to smoke marijuana will lose their jobs, perhaps leading to the globalists claiming that not only are lazy Americans not willing to take physically demanding jobs, and too dumb to take hi-tech jobs but are now too stoned to take any jobs.
The displacement of American workers is not limited to the economic bottom rung jobs. America has been increasingly importing computer programmers and other hi-tech workers from India and other countries to displace Americans.
The Democratic Party used to act in the interests of American workers and, as a part of their efforts to protect the jobs and wages of Americans, opposed the importation of foreign workers. Today, the Democratic Party no longer represents American workers and, in fact, has come to betray American workers and their families. Today’s Democratic Party insists on raising the minimum wage to $15.00 per hour to achieve “wage equality.” This works out to an annual wage of slightly more than $30,000. The question that is never asked, particularly by the mainstream media is: “with whom would these workers become equal?”
It would be one thing if they insisted on a $15.00 minimum wage to help America’s working poor. But to tout that wage as a means of achieving “wage equality” should give all Americans cause for pause.
As I noted in an article I once wrote about the veiled attack on the middle class,
The Wage Equality Deception, Alan Greenspan the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank, invoked the notion of wage equality way back on April 30, 2009 when he testified before the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Citizenship that was, at that time, chaired by Chuck Schumer.
The subject of the hearing was “Comprehensive Immigration Reform in 2009, Can We Do It and How?” Greenspan's prepared testimony included this assertion:
But there is little doubt that unauthorized, that is, illegal, immigration has made a significant contribution to the growth of our economy. Between 2000 and 2007, for example, it accounted for more than a sixth of the increase in our total civilian labor force. The illegal part of the civilian labor force diminished last year as the economy slowed, though illegals still comprised an estimated 5% of our total civilian labor force. Unauthorized immigrants serve as a flexible component of our workforce, often a safety valve when demand is pressing and among the first to be discharged when the economy falters.Some evidence suggests that unskilled illegal immigrants (almost all from Latin America) marginally suppress wage levels of native-born Americans without a high school diploma, and impose significant costs on some state and local governments.
Greenspan must not have gotten the memo- when America’s poorest workers suffer wage suppression they are likely to become homeless and, indeed, across the United States, homelessness has increased dramatically. This not only creates chaos in the lives of the homeless and their children, but imposes severe economic burdens on cities that have to cope with this disaster.
Greenspan went on to state the United States must accede to Bill Gates’ demand for more H-1B visas as Gates noted in his testimony at a previous hearing, that we are "driving away the world's best and brightest precisely when we need them most."
Where I come from, “the world’s best and brightest” are AMERICANS! This is what is commonly referred to as “American Exceptionalism.”
Greenspan supported his infuriating call for many more H-1B visas by the following “benefits” for America and, as you will see, the last sentence of his outrageous paragraph addresses the notion of reducing “wage inequality” by lowering wages of middle class, highly educated Americans whom Greenspan had the chutzpah to refer to as “the privileged elite”!
Consider this excerpt from his testimony:
First, skilled workers and their families form new households. They will, of necessity, move into vacant housing units, the current glut of which is depressing prices of American homes. And, of course, house price declines are a major factor in mortgage foreclosures and the plunge in value of the vast quantity of U.S. mortgage-backed securities that has contributed substantially to the disabling of our banking system. The second bonus would address the increasing concentration of income in this country. Greatly expanding our quotas for the highly skilled would lower wage premiums of skilled over lesser skilled. Skill shortages in America exist because we are shielding our skilled labor force from world competition. Quotas have been substituted for the wage pricing mechanism. In the process, we have created a privileged elite whose incomes are being supported at noncompetitively high levels by immigration quotas on skilled professionals. Eliminating such restrictions would reduce at least some of our income inequality.
Generally, the prospect of high-paying jobs incentivized American students to go on to college and acquire costly and time-consuming educations to be qualified to take those exciting and well-paying jobs. If wages for high-tech professionals are slashed, those jobs will no longer be attractive to Americans.
Greenspan, Schumer and their cohorts are determined to create a $15.00 per hour “standard wage” to be paid to all workers irrespective of education or the nature of their jobs. This is called Communism!
Many have said that the Democrats want to import immigrants who will vote for their candidates.
What is often overlooked is that the downward economic spiral caused by the massive influx of cheap alien labor pushes ever more beleaguered Americans to vote for the Democrats who promise to help the hapless, financially strapped Americans for whom, no matter how hard they may strive, the “American Dream” has become an unattainable dream.
Democrats can't stand the
thought of protecting Americans

Democrats can't stand the
thought of protecting Americans
By J. Marsolo
Democrats and their
cheerleaders in the mainstream media tout themselves as concerned for
those addicted to drugs and regularly support increased spending money for
therapy. But they refuse to fund building the wall and for border
security on the Mexican border.
The wall would significantly
stop the flow of illegal drugs through the Mexican border to the USA, which
would reduce the supply of illegal drugs that cause addiction and deaths by
overdose. The Democrats and media support spending money to deal
with the effects of drugs smuggled across the border but refuse to spend money
to stop the smuggling.
There is no
doubt that illegal drugs and most heroin come across the Mexican
border. And now we have fentanyl, a
synthetic opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than
morphine. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA),
"[c]landestinely-produced fentanyl is primarily manufactured in Mexico.
The Mexican cartels are
producing fentanyl and also receive it from China to smuggle it to the
USA. It is very
profitable for the cartels.
In 2017, more than 72,000
Americans died from drug overdoses, with at least 30,000 attributed to
fentanyl.
President Trump has called
for a border wall to stop illegal immigration and to reduce the flow of illegal
drugs, such as heroin and fentanyl. It is common sense and logical
that building a wall and fully securing the southern border would reduce the
flow of such drugs, reducing deaths and addiction.
Yet the Democrats refuse to
fund the border wall and border security.
Senator Schumer and
Speaker-Elect Pelosi agree to spend $1.5 billion for "border
security" but not for a wall. President Trump is asking for
only $5 billion. It is estimated that $27 to $40 billion is needed
to fully fund the wall.
It is time to fully fund the
border wall. The Trump Shutdown should focus on the record number of
Americans who die due to drugs smuggled from Mexico. The focus
should be on the Democrats and media that ignore the danger to Americans. This
debate should be coupled with the number of violent
crimes committed by illegal aliens.
Democrats and their media
will quibble about the exact number of violent crimes committed by illegal
aliens. But the point is that such crimes are avoidable if the
border is secured.
President Trump must be
supported to shut down the federal government to finally force funding the wall
to protect Americans. The issue is protecting Americans.
Iran is the principal state
sponsor and supporter
of terrorism. Iran has promised to destroy Israel. Iran's
Parliament chanted "death to America" while burning our flag. The
Dems and their media supported giving $150 billion to Iran but, they refuse to
spend more than $1.5 billion to protect Americans, when they know that spending
$27 to $40 billion would save thousands of Americans from death and addiction.
The bottom line is that the
Dems and their media do not care about the security and safety of Americans.

Congressional
Progressive Caucus Has Extensive Ties to Marxist Organizations
BY TREVOR LOUDON
Commentary
The Congressional Progressive Caucus is by
far the largest and most influential coalition in the federal government. It is
also the most radical, having extensive ties to several major Marxist
organizations.
Buoyed by an influx of new far-left
members, the caucus has struck a deal with Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi
to significantly increase socialist power in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The deal will see more Communist Party USA
(CPUSA) and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) supporters appointed to key
congressional committees and enjoy a greater role in influencing legislative
priorities.
The quid pro quo? Support for Pelosi in her
tight race to become the next speaker of the House.
“It wasn’t a coincidence that moments after
Nancy Pelosi promised progressive House leaders more power in the next
Congress, a host of liberal groups announced they were supporting her for
speaker,” Politico recently
reported.
“Rep. Pramila Jayapal, who is expected to
co-chair the Progressive Caucus next year, left a Nov. 15 meeting with Pelosi
in the Capitol and proclaimed that her members would have more seats on
powerful committees and more influence over legislation.”
Pelosi, herself a member of the caucus
before resigning to become speaker of the House in 2006, is well aware of the
progressives’ growing power.
After all outstanding House races are
settled, the Congressional Progressive Caucus will increase its membership from
78 to around 95 members next year—about 40 percent of the entire Democratic
Caucus. Progressive Caucus leaders are using that leverage to secure
influential House committee assignments.
“Thursday’s meeting with Pelosi included
Jayapal and current Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Mark Pocan (D-Wis.). One
request to which Pelosi agreed was to give the Progressive Caucus proportional
representation on what lawmakers call the ‘A committees’: the Appropriations,
Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, Financial Services and Intelligence
committees,” the Politico article continued.
The upcoming 116th Congress will bring the
Progressive Caucus to the peak of its power, simultaneously increasing the
influence of its allies in the U.S. communist and socialist movements.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has deemed the latest crop of radical recruits “the most progressive freshman class
in modern U.S. history.”
This development must be gratifying for
Sanders. As a freshman himself, he founded the caucus in 1991 with DSA member
Congressman Ron
Dellums(D-Calif.) and DSA/CPUSA friendly Maxine Waters (D-Calif.).
The DSA itself provided organizational help to get the caucus off the ground, according to the
January/February 1998 issue of DSA publication New Ground.
The DSA–Progressive Caucus relationship
remains strong, and high level.
Democratic Socialists of America
In a July 2018 DSA National Political
Committee (NPC) meeting, DSA leader Maria Svart updated members on relations
between the new Pro-Cuban Mexican President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador (author
of “Oye, Trump,” which translates as “Listen up, Trump”), far-left California
Rep. Ro Khanna, and the Progressive Caucus.
“[Svart] reported developing outward
relationships through [DSA member] Jose La Luz to Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador
which we can pursue if the NPC wishes, with Congressman Ro Khanna and the
Progressive Caucus, in the future with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and with
several mainstream progressive groups at a conference on planning responses in
case of a national security crisis,” the report stated.
The 116th Congress will include at least
three “former” DSA members: Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), Danny Davis (D-Ill.), and two new comrades Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)
and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.). At least a dozen more can be considered as moving in
the DSA “orbit” including Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), Dave Loebsack (D-Iowa) and Progressive Caucus co-chair Mark Pocan (D-Wis.).
Communist Party USA
The CPUSA also has a long history with the
Progressive Caucus.
A February 2002 report by Joelle Fishman, chair of the Political Action Committee,
Communist Party USA to the Party’s National Board evaluated the usefulness of
the caucus.
“Although this Caucus is not large enough
to control the Congressional agenda, … the existence of this group of 57
members of Congress … provides an important lever that can be used to advance
workers’ issues and move the debate to the left in every Congressional District
in the country,” the report stated.
A report highlighting
the CPUSA’s connection to the by-now-much-larger Progressive Caucus was
delivered at the 14th International Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties,
held in Beirut, Lebanon, from Nov. 22 to 25, 2012, by the late Erwin Marquit, a
then-member of the CPUSA’s International Department:
“The Communist Party USA not only welcomes
the reelection of President Barack Obama, but actively engaged in the electoral
campaign for his reelection and for the election of many Democratic Party
congressional candidates. …
“In our electoral policy, we seek to
cooperate and strengthen our relationship with the more progressive elements in
Democratic Party, such as the Progressive Caucus in the U.S. Congress, a group
of 76 members of the Congress co-chaired by Raul Grijalva, a Latino from
Arizona, and Keith Ellison, an African American Muslim from Minnesota. …
“In its domestic policy, for example, the
Progressive Caucus has put forth a program for using the public sector to deal
with unemployment. It has opposed the use of the so called ‘war on terror’ to
incarcerate U.S. citizens indefinitely without criminal charges. In its foreign
policy, the Progressive Caucus and the Black Caucus are outspoken in their
opposition to U.S. imperialist policies abroad. The Progressive Caucus, now
that Obama has been reelected, will be playing an important role in
contributing to the mobilization of mass activity on critical issues to bring
pressure on the Congress and administration to act on them.”
Progressive Caucus leaders Raul Grijalva and Keith Ellison both have long histories with the CPUSA, along with many other
prominent Caucus members including Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas), Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), and Gwen
Moore(D-Wis.). Former caucus activist Nancy Pelosi herself was very tight with some CPUSA personalities at the
beginning of her political career in San Francisco.
The CPUSA and DSA do not spend their time
and money electing Democrats purely for love. They expect a return on their
investment.
Virtually every major plank of today’s
Democratic Party—from single-payer health care, amnesty for illegal aliens,
normalization of relations with communist Cuba, $15 per hour minimum wage, and
others—originated with the CPUSA or DSA—or from their foreign masters. It is
not the slightest exaggeration to say that the communists and socialists drive
Democratic Party policy formation.
With nearly 100 members—including a fresh
cohort of ultra-radical recruits—coupled with unprecedented potential to
influence legislative priorities thanks to Pelosi, the caucus is positioning
itself to assert extraordinary power.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus is
effectively part of the world communist movement. And it’s about to become the
dominant faction in the Democratic Party.

Pelosi
and Schumer Show Their Colors
By David Limbaugh
How can
anyone believe that the Democrats support border security -- wall or no wall --
when they have repeatedly broken their promises to work with Republicans on it,
when they demonize all opponents of illegal immigration and amnesty as racists,
when they oppose all reasonable measures to guard the border, and when many of
them actually advocate the elimination of U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement?
