Democrats Circling the Electoral Drain
Democrats have convinced themselves that they represent the sentiments of a majority of Americans. Watching the recent Democrat presidential debates, one cannot help but conclude the opposite.
Rather than looking beyond their liberal coastal enclaves to the fruited plain filled with deplorables and bitter clingers, Democrats simply look in the mirror of CNN or the Washington Post to see complete agreement, believing that all of America is on board with their wrecking ball agenda.
The debates featured the 20 best candidates the Democrats could field to challenge the success and charisma of President Trump. Assuming a fifty-fifty political split in America, and the age requirement for the presidency, there should be 50-75 million potential Democrats to step up and challenge Trump. Yet these 20 candidates are the best out there?
We have nonagenarians who have been in government for decades with no accomplishments to their names other than getting elected. Most of the candidates are so far to the political left that they should be running as socialists, or better yet, communists. The only thing separating the candidates are their looks and personalities. They all sing the same tune.
Their favored constituencies are not Americans, but instead anyone outside America’s borders, invited into America to live at the expense of American taxpayers. Robert O’Rourke is even campaigning in Mexico, to be president, not of Mexico, but of the United States.
Democrats want to get rid of private health care insurance for Americans and instead provide free government health care to illegal immigrants. Non-Americans go to the front of the line while Americans can’t even join the line.
One candidate couldn’t even be bothered with policy specifics, instead channeling the Beatles “All you need is love” to solve the world’s problems.
What do those outside the beltway think? Are they on board with America going the way of California, as a detour to the ultimate destination of Cuba or Venezuela?
Rasmussen Reports on June 28 published survey results concluding, “Voters see most Democrat presidential hopefuls as more liberal, extreme.” This was a survey of likely voters, 80 percent of whom say they have “closely followed the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.”
These are real voters, not your typical man or woman on the street that many pollsters query, who when interviewed, don’t know if John Hickenlooper is a former Colorado governor or the name of a new brand of popcorn.
From the survey, “Nearly half (48%) of voters now feel it is accurate to describe the agenda of most of the Democratic presidential hopefuls as extreme.” Democrat voters, the base for the twenty candidates on the debate stage, are mostly on board with this lurch to the left, “57% of Democrats think it is accurate to describe the agenda of most of their presidential hopefuls as mainstream.”
What do the other 43 percent of Democrats think? How many might vote for Trump rather than someone wanting to Make America Soviet Again?
Independents, who will in large part decide the 2020 electoral winner, were not impressed with the two-evening clown show last week. “Fifty-eight percent (58%) of these so-called swing voters view most of the announced Democratic White House hopefuls as more liberal than they are, and by a 49% to 29% margin, they say the agenda of most of these candidates is extreme.”
For NBC debate moderators and hardcore Democrats, open borders, free healthcare for illegals, and trans-men having abortions is perfectly mainstream. Extremism to them is record low unemployment, three percent economic growth, and the American President visiting North Korea.
Here they are raising their hands in unison supporting healthcare for illegals.
For most Americans, extreme is when a journalist is attacked and beaten by Antifa thugs in Portland. But for rabid Democrats, it’s justified or deserved since the journalist is conservative, ignoring the fact that he is Asian and gay. Note the far different response when a gay black actor, Jussie Smollett, claimed to have been attacked in Chicago.
Despite Smollett’s story being full of holes, and quickly proven to be a hoax, the left came to his defense. Ngo’s attack was anything but a hoax, having been captured on video, yet only crickets from tolerant and inclusive Democrats. Will Democrat presidential candidates be asked to raise their hands to denounce Antifa, the new militant arm of their party? Not likely. How many voters want this type of extremism as the new norm in American cities?
Hard core leftists however think this is all just fine. Stephanie Wilkinson, owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Virginia, who kicked out Sarah Sanders and her family, wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post extolling the new leftist restaurant etiquette. “New rules apply. If you’re directly complicit in spreading hate or perpetuating suffering, maybe you should consider dining at home. For the rest, your table is waiting.”
In other words, if you support President Trump, stay home. You are not welcome at our lunch counters or restaurants. Sit in the back of the bus. Democrats are going back to their segregationist roots, discriminating now based on political belief rather than skin color. Unless of course you are Candace Owens or Ben Carson getting a double dose of discrimination.
Democrats believe this is a winning message. Agree with us or go away, voluntarily or forcefully, in Orwellian fashion. Joseph Stalin would be proud.
Democrats are pushing the issues important to MSNBC and the New York Times, but not to voters. Also from Rasmussen in mid-May, a survey of the most pressing issues for Congress. These don’t include Trump’s past tax returns or a rehash of the Mueller investigation, but instead 35 percent of likely voters “rate illegal immigration as the issue Congress should deal with first.”
Guess what Trump’s signatures issue is? Illegal immigration. Stopping it, not encouraging it by offering free healthcare to anyone who makes it across our border.
Next of importance for Congress, “Healthcare is in distant second with 19% support, closely followed by 16% who see Trump’s impeachment as first in importance.”
Voters want our healthcare system to be fixed, but not in the way of Democrats wanting to eliminate private insurance. Some Democrats in Congress are listening to voters’ third priority of impeachment, mostly Democrats, but the few voices of sanity in the Democrat party realize impeachment is a loser for them.
Democrat presidential candidates find themselves on the wrong side of almost every issue of concern to voters. Rather than acknowledging and correcting, they lurch further and further to the left, trying to be more socialist and woke than the other candidates, digging themselves into a deeper hole for the general election.
It’s a sight to behold as they continue to circle the electoral drain, oblivious to anything outside the beltway media and each other. Trump’s campaign commercials are writing themselves and upcoming Trump rallies and presidential debates will be most entertaining. Have your popcorn ready.

Eliseo Medina: Revolution
Through Illegal Immigration
https://www.theepochtimes.com/eliseo-medina-revolution-through-illegal-immigration_2748588.html?ref=brief_Archives&utm_source=Epoch+Times+Newsletters&utm_campaign=6432f3abd5-
“Before
immigration debates took place in Washington, I spoke with Eliseo Medina
and SEIU members,” said then-Sen. Barack Obama, addressing the Service Employees
International Union (SEIU) at a stop for his 2008 presidential campaign.
Eliseo Medina, Obama’s
informal immigration adviser, has dedicated his life to obtaining citizenship
and voting rights for America’s illegal aliens—now at an estimated 22
million—with the expressed goal of transforming the United States into a
one-party state.
As a Communist
Party USA (CPUSA) supporter and former honorary chair of the largest Marxist
organization in the United States, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA),
Medina is undeniably the leader of today’s amnesty movement.
At the far-left “America’s Future Now!”
conference in Washington on June 2, 2009, Medina, then SEIU’s international
executive vice president, addressed attendees on the vital importance
of “comprehensive immigration reform”—a code phrase for amnesty.
Medina failed to mention the plight of illegal
aliens, focusing instead on how—if given amnesty—they would eventually vote for
Democrats.
Speaking of Latino voting patterns in the 2008
election, Medina said:
“When
they [Latinos] voted in November, they voted overwhelmingly for progressive
candidates. Barack Obama got two out of every three voters that showed up.
“So, I think
there’s two things that matter for the progressive community:
“Number one:
If we are to expand this electorate to win, the progressive community needs to
solidly be on the side of immigrants. That will solidify and expand the
progressive coalition for the future.
“Number two:
[If] we reform the immigration laws, it puts 12 million people on the path to
citizenship and eventually voters. Can you imagine if we have—even the same
ratio—two out of three?
“If we have 8
million new voters … we will create a governing coalition for the long term,
not just for an election cycle.”
Medina’s “governing coalition” refers to
Democrats having control of the federal government for the foreseeable future, “not
just for an election cycle.”
Who Is Eliseo Medina?
Medina‘s road to power began in 1965 when, as a
19-year-old grape-picker, he participated in the United Farm Workers’ strike in
Delano, California. Over the next 13 years, Medina worked alongside labor
leader and beloved socialist Cesar Chavez, eventually surpassing his mentor as
a skilled union organizer and political strategist. Medina met his future wife
Liza Hirsch during this period.
Medina had met Chicago DSA comrades in the
1970s when he was in the Windy City organizing a grape boycott for Chavez. From
2004 until 2016, Medina served as an honorary chairman for the organization.
Like many DSA members, Medina also worked
closely with the CPUSA.
Medina gave the keynote speech at the CPUSA
publication’s People’s Weekly World (PWW) banquet in Berkeley, California, on
Nov. 18, 2001.
The PWW quoted Medina
praising the communist publication: “’Wherever
workers are in struggle,’ Medina said, ‘they find the PWW regularly reporting
issues and viewpoints that are seldom covered by the regular media. For us, the
PWW has been and always will be the people’s voice.’”
In 2007, Medina personally endorsed the
People’s World (by then renamed from People’s Weekly World).
Medina’s Wife and Flexible Socialist Ethics
Medina’s wife, Liza, is the daughter of Fred
Hirsch, a self-described “communist plumber” and his
even-more-radical wife, Virginia, known as Ginny. In the early 1960s, Ginny Hirsch left her husband and
young children in San Jose while she drove to Guatemala with nearly a ton of
smuggled ammunition destined for leftist rebels.
From the age of 12, Liza Hirsch was partially
raised by Cesar Chavez and, at his personal request, committed herself at an
early age to earning a law degree so she could serve as an attorney for the
movement.
Though a sometimes-socialist himself, Chavez
had no time for illegal aliens (who he dubbed “wet-backs”) fearing they would
“scab” against his strikes and take jobs from his members. Chavez even launched
an “Illegals Campaign”—an organized program to identify illegal alien workers
in the fields and turn them in to the Immigration
and Naturalization Service (INS).
Hirsch was put in charge of this program. In
1974, just before she went to law school, she “distributed forms printed in
triplicate to all union offices and directed staff members to document the
presence of illegal immigrants in the fields and report them to the INS,”
according to the book “The Crusades of Cesar Chavez” by Miriam Pawel.
Hirsch would later marry New York DSA
member Paul Du Brul. After his untimely death, she
married Medina, also a card-carrying DSA member by then.
Socialist ethics can be very flexible.
Changing the Democrat Position to Pro-Amnesty
Medina joined the SEIU in 1986, where he helped revive a local union in San Diego,
building its membership from 1,700 to more than 10,000 in five years. Medina
became international executive vice president of the 2.2 million-member SEIU in
1996.
The SEIU has a huge number of illegal alien
workers in its ranks. Medina used that leverage to promote amnesty in the union
movement, as well as in the organized left and in the Democratic Party.
In the mid-1990s, most unions were still
hostile to illegal alien workers who worked at a much lower rate, taking jobs
away from union members. But in 1994, several far-left union leaders led by DSA
member John Sweeney took over the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial
Organizations (AFL-CIO), setting the stage for a major
policy change for the unions—and ultimately for the Democrats.
Claiming U.S. immigration policy was “broken
and [needed] to be fixed,” the AFL-CIO on Feb. 16, 2000, called for
a new amnesty for millions of undocumented workers and the repeal of the 1986
legislation that criminalized hiring them.
According to the DSA website in
2004, Medina was “widely credited with playing a key role in the AFL-CIO’s
decision to adopt a new policy on immigration a few years ago.”
From his union position, Medina reached across
the labor movement into the social movements and the Catholic Church to create
the widest possible pro-amnesty coalition.
“Working to
ensure the opportunity to pass comprehensive immigration reform does not slip
away, Medina led the effort to unite the unions of the Change to Win federation
and AFL-CIO around a comprehensive framework for reform. Serving as a leading
voice in Washington, frequently testifying before Congress, Medina has also
helped to build a strong, diverse coalition of community and national partners
that have intensified the call for reform and cultivated necessary political
capital to hold elected leaders accountable.
“Medina has
also helped strengthen ties between the Roman Catholic Church and the labor
movement to work on common concerns such as immigrant worker rights and access
to health care.”
In August 2008, the Obama campaign announced
the formation of its National Latino Advisory Council. The new body consisted of several Democratic
Congress members, a Catholic bishop, a former ambassador, two former cabinet
members, and Medina.
After the election, Medina became
Obama’s informal adviser on issues concerning immigration and amnesty. The fact that
a DSA member and CPUSA supporter was advising the U.S. president on issues of
vital national security importance appeared to concern no one.
Eventually, Medina and his movement were able
to get an amnesty bill passed through the U.S. Senate. If they could only pass
a bill through the House, the United States would be set on an irreversible
path to socialism.
Fortunately, Tea Party-aligned Republican
Congress members refused to sell out their nation. They held the line against
intense pressure, and no amnesty bill was passed through the House in Obama’s
eight years in the White House.
‘Fast
for Families’
In November 2013, Medina, along with Cristian
Avila of amnesty advocacy group Mi Familia Vota and Dae Jung Yoon of the
National Korean American Service and Education Consortium (a hard-left group
that supports communist North Korea), started a 22-day “fast for families” in
front of Capitol Hill “to demand Congress approve comprehensive immigration
reform,” according to People’s World.
The staged protest gained worldwide media
attention. Several Democratic members of Congress dropped by to
offer support, along with then-President Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, and
Vice President Joe Biden.
Still, House Republicans did not budge.
On May 17, 2016, Hillary Clinton’s
presidential campaign announced that long-time DSA
activist Dolores Huerta and Medina would join the team as senior advisers in
California.
“Huerta and
Medina will build on the campaign’s robust outreach to the Latino community in
California and work with the campaign’s senior team to organize and engage
Californians in conversations about Hillary Clinton’s plans to break down
barriers and help move the country forward.
“’We are
thrilled to be joined by two incredibly accomplished and admired leaders in the
Latino, immigrant and labor communities, Dolores Huerta and Eliseo Medina,’
said Buffy Wicks, State Director for Hillary for California. ‘Their advocacy
and leadership … will go a long way in continuing the important work of
reaching every California voter in advance of the June 7 primary.’”
Clinton promised to introduce a “pathway
to full and equal citizenship” to legalize and grant voting rights to every
illegal alien in the country “within 100 days of taking office” if she were to
be elected president.
Had President Donald Trump not won his
shocking victory on Nov. 6, 2016, Medina’s dream of a permanent, unbeatable
progressive “governing coalition” would today be a reality, making it virtually
impossible to elect another Republican president.

With Democrats
drunkenly denying a border crisis, NYT attempts an intervention
For alcoholics, the first step to recovery is to admit they have a
problem.
The New York Times is trying to get Democrats to admit they have a
problem on the U.S.'s southern border and is now calling for funds to be
appropriated for detention beds.
President Trump is right: There is a crisis at the southern
border. Just not the one he rants about.
There is no pressing national security threat — no invasion of
murderers, drug cartels or terrorists. No matter how often Mr. Trump delivers
such warnings, they bear little resemblance to the truth.
But as record numbers of Central American families flee violence
and poverty in their homelands, they are overwhelming
United States border systems, fueling a humanitarian
crisis of overcrowding, disease and chaos. The Border Patrol is now averaging 1,200
daily arrests, with many migrants arriving exhausted and sick. Last week,
a teenage boy from Guatemala died in government
custody, the third death of a minor since December. As resources
are strained and the system buckles, the misery grows.
Something needs to be done. Soon. Unfortunately, political
gamesmanship once again threatens to hold up desperately needed resources.
Needs, indeed. After all, about a third of
Guatemala would like to come here and are
planning accordingly. The paper of record likes to be a little ahead
of the news.
And what's more, as a de facto partisan arm of the Democratic
Party most of the time, it probably sees the proverbial writing on the 2020
wall, given that there's no real wall right now.
I'm a bit less willing to praise the paper for the particulars of
its stance. The authors are calling for cash for better detention
facilities to accommodate all the illegal border-crossers, which sounds like a
downwind patch-up solution to the far more effective ones that House Democrats
could do without appropriating any money — such as by reducing the
incentives to emigrate illegally by reforming loopholes in U.S. asylum
law. How about: 'If you can't be bothered to apply legally to enter
the U.S., then back you go.' Or: 'If you refuse to apply for
asylum at a U.S. port of entry because you want instant customer service, then
back of the line, pal.' Exceptions can be carved out for nationals
seeking asylum from places that do not permit free travel, such as North Korea,
the nationals of whom our current asylum laws were written
for. The Times' call for more comfortable accommodations for
foreigners crossing into the U.S. without authorization sounds like yet
another incentive to come here illegally, though it could give border agents
some time to sort out who's a professional criminal, or who's renting a kid to
get let out of detention early, and who isn't.
Even a wall would be a better solution than the weak tea of better
detention cells for migrants the Times calls for.
And as Laura Ingraham notes here —
the Times is wrong about the unvetted migration headed to the U.S. containing
few or no criminals.
I’m at border with @CBP agents now—they
just said @nytimes 100 percent wrong that there’s “There is no pressing
nat’l security threat — no invasion of murderers, drug cartels or terrorists.“ https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/05/opinion/trump-border-crisis-funding.html …
Opinion | Congress, Give Trump His Border Money
Border Patrol agents say they're seeing the crooks all over —
criminals, of course, don't do things legally.
That said, the Times editorial is still pretty
revolutionary. Democrats have been denying for years that there's
any crisis at the border, growing ever more shrill and irrational the more the
evidence piles up — from crime wages by illegal aliens to welfare and
other state costs to the specter of illegal immigrants openly ballot-harvesting in
California to flip the House to the Democrats and their champions on the Left
fighting in courts an innocuous census question about citizenship.
Illegals are a source of power for Democrats. They have
a political interest in denying a crisis. For them, it's a party,
and nobody had better take away that punch bowl...
But there really is a crisis — and the Times has
noticed. And its reporters on the ground probably also notice that
the issue could cost Democrats the entire election in 2020. With the
Times serving as the Democratic Party's narrative-master, this looks
like an intervention. Now maybe the Democratic drunks at the
illegals table will be forced to take the first step toward sobriety — by
admitting a problem.
Democrats on
Border Crisis: Help Migrants, Not American Wage-Earners
NEIL MUNRO
Border agencies should provide even more help to Central American
migrants, top Democrats said in response to the White House’s emergency funding
request to manage the migration inflow.
The support
for migrants came after the White House asked for $4.5 billion to help process the
growing flood of economic migrants from Central America.
“As a
country, we must do more to meet the needs of migrants – especially children
and families – who are arriving in increasing numbers,” said a statement by
Rep. Nita Lowey, chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee.
She urged the administration to speed up the release of the migrants:
However, the
Trump administration appears to want much of this $4.5 billion emergency
supplemental request to double down on cruel and ill-conceived policies,
including bailing out ICE for overspending on detention beds and expanding
family detention. Locking up people who pose no threat to the community for
ever-longer periods of time is not a solution to the problems at the border.
“This crisis
is one largely of the Trump Administration’s own making,” claimed Rep. Bennie
Thompson, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security. His statement also urged the border
agencies to release the migrants at a faster pace into the U.S. labor market:
We will not
appropriate more funds that will add to the chaos and make the problem worse
… this request holds a number of non-starters – such as doubling down on
the Administration’s cruel and failed policies including mass detention. There
is no reason to lock up thousands who pose no threat, especially in an
already-strained system.
Thompson said
Democrats were ready to provide more aid to the foreign migrants: “House
Democrats understand that there is a humanitarian crisis at the border, and we
stand ready and willing to provide necessary resources to help fix this
challenge and alleviate the suffering of thousands.”
Lowey
declared Democrats as guardians of the nation’s values. “House Democrats take
seriously our responsibility to uphold our values and secure our borders,”
Lowey said.
The growing
wave of migrants is forcing down Americans’ wages in U.S. blue-collar
workplaces and is weakening education for Americans kids in blue-collar
schools.
The
Democrats’ opposition to border security reflects the pro-migration views of
their coalition, which includes wealthy progressives and poor,
government-dependent families.
Why
are Democrats opposing Americans in every way?
https://townhall.com/columnists/kevinmccullough/2019/01/20/why-are-democrats-opposing-americans-in-every-way-n2539333
With the rejection of President Trump’s latest border security compromise
Democrats have rejected security for Americans on many different levels.
This set of rejections adds to the growing list of recent weeks in which
nearly every decision they make works against the citizens of the United
States.
Even after repeated compromises (President Trump moving to a “steel slat”
and away from a “wall”) and self-admissions of a barrier’s effectiveness (House
Majority Leader Hoyer confessing “well of course walls work,”) they continue to
harbor anti-American values and sentiment in their approach towards the current
crisis.
Thus far they have rejected the number one demand of the voters in 2016 to
reinforce our southern border with a permanent barrier.
They have decided that in order to ensure that they prevent such a barrier
from being built that they would prefer to starve government workers merely to
spite the American people.
They also decided to attempt to block the President’s lawful right to
update the American people on the progress of the nation and what his
administration intends to accomplish in 2109.
All three of these moves intentionally hurts Americans, leaves them less
safe, and attempts to leave them uninformed in a nation that guarantees
transparency.
In rejecting President Trump’s offer on Saturday they went a few steps
further.
Besides the paltry sum of $5.7 billion he is requesting for the border
barrier (paltry because the Democrats approved $40 billion during the Obama administration
for identical purposes) they also rejected a few other key points.
A key point they are now rejecting (that they previously begged for—though
this is the third time the President has offered it) is an extension of
protections on nearly 700,000 “dreamers” (non-citizens who entered the country
illegally but of no fault of their own due to ages at the time.) Rejecting
these protections now for a third time, DACA kids really should ask themselves,
“Who in this debate is honestly thinking about what’s best for me?”
An additional offer from the President would extend protections for
300,000 additional persons whose home countries are too dangerous to guarantee
a safe return. The TPS offer when coupled with the DACA kids provides
protections for nearly 1,000,000 non-citizens that evidently the Democrats for
all their big talk of compassion don’t appear to give two hoots about.
His offer also includes close to a billion dollars in updated drug
detection technology to be placed exclusively at ports of entry to obviously
bring to a halt the flow of more than 90% of the heroin entering the country.
This heroin is killing upwards of 300 of our children per week.
His proposal also wants to offer more Americans jobs, increasing the ranks
of our border agents by more than 2700. He also pledged more law enforcement to
assist the border agents for necessary manpower to actually secure the border
and shut down illegal activity and persons attempting to harm America.
And for all those who are deeply concerned about the legitimate asylum
seekers trying to eke out a better life in America, his program would provide
75 additional immigration judges to specifically lessen the wait times and
backlog of asylum seekers.
Beyond this specific package he even dangled the willingness to bring to
the table comprehensive immigration reform in short order.
So now Democrats aren’t merely opposing (with great hostility) the
supporters of the President, the Republicans in Congress and the Senate,
conservatives across the nation and at least half of the American voters.
Now they are also punishing 800,000 government workers (who largely voted
for them.)
They are punishing the families whose lives have been and will be impacted
by the continuing flow of heroin into our communities, along with the 300
families every week (15,000+ annually) whose children are dying from it.
They have now thrice rejected protections for a million seeking safe haven
in America including 700,000 children who found themselves here through no
choice that they made.
And they are preventing from the future security of thousands of asylum
seekers, and most significantly the citizens of the nation itself with a truly
secured border.
The Democrats are opposing Americans, those who wish to be Americans, and
those that find themselves stuck somewhere in between.
The important question that each American should ask...
Is why?
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.
Immigration Truths the Democrats Deny
By Laura Ingraham
But the Democrats are determined to block Trump's efforts to fortify the border. You can see them recoil at any border wall talk. Here are the facts. The Democrats are willing to sell out the country, law and order be damned, in order to deny Trump a victory over the wall.
A few years ago, they were all for fortifying the border but not now. Of course, if we had a media that publicized actual facts on illegal immigration and other immigration issues, rather than obsessing 24/7 about Michael Cohen or focusing on a few really sympathetic people in Tijuana, we would have a lot more Democrats feeling the pressure on this issue from the voters.

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?

Democrats can't stand the
thought of protecting Americans
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.
PRAGER U VIDEO: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION:
IT'S ABOUT POWER
What really lies behind the Left's support for 'open borders.'
December
6, 2018
Historically, Democrats supported
strong borders because they knew American workers could never compete with
illegal immigrants. Now, they regularly support “open borders.” So why the
drastic change? Tucker Carlson, host of Tucker Carlson Tonight, explains.

THE CONSPIRACY TO
SABOTAGE HOMELAND SECURITY
The Democrat Party’s secret agenda for wider open borders,
more welfare for invading illegals, more jobs and free anything they illegally
vote for…. All to destroy the two-party system and build the GLOBALISTS’
DEMOCRAT PARTY FOR WIDER OPEN BORDERS TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED.

Demonstrably and irrefutably the Democrat Party became the party whose principle objective is
to thoroughly transform the nature of the American electorate by means of open
borders and the mass, unchecked importation of illiterate third world peasants
who will vote in overwhelming numbers for Democrats and their La Raza welfare
state. FRONTPAGE MAG
