NANCY PELOSI'S CRONIES THE KOCH BROTHERS AND U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SAY WAGES ARE NOT DEPRESSED ENOUGH!!!

"Extensive research by economists like George 

Borjas and analyst Steven Camarota reveals 

that the country’s current mass legal 

immigration system burdens U.S. taxpayers 

and America’s working and middle class while 

redistributing about $500 billion in wealth 

every year to major employers and newly 

arrived immigrants. Similarly, research has 

revealed how Americans’ wages are 

crushed by the country’s high immigration 

levels."



WHO WANTS OPEN BORDERS:
MEXICO, THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, EMPLOYERS OF “CHEAP” LABOR, U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FRONTING FOR WALL STREET, ALL BILLIONAIRES INCLUDING ZUCKERBERG, GATES, BLOOMBERG AND THE FASCIST KOCH BROTHERS!
But the federal government then imports about 1.1 million legal immigrants and refreshes a resident population of roughly 1.5 million white-collar visa workers — including approximately one million H-1B workers — and approximately 500,000 blue-collar visa workers.
The government also prints out more than one million work permits for foreigners, tolerates about eight million illegal workers, and does not punish companies for employing the hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants who sneak across the border or overstay their legal visas each year.
This policy of inflating the labor supply boosts economic growth for investors because it ensures that employers do not have to compete for American workers by offering higher wages and better working conditions.

This policy of flooding the market with cheap, foreign, white-collar graduates and blue-collar labor also shifts enormous wealth from young employees towards older investors, even as it also widens wealth gaps, reduces high-tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, and hurts children’s schools and college educations. It also pushes Americans away from high-tech careers and sidelines millions of marginalized Americans, including many who are now struggling with fentanyl addictions. The labor policy also moves business investment and wealth from the heartland to the coastal citiesexplodes rents and housing costsshrivels real estate values in the Midwest, and rewards investors for creating low-tech, labor-intensive workplaces.

Plutocrat Koch Brothers, Chamber of Commerce Lobby for Big Tech’s Green Card Giveaway

The billionaire, pro-mass immigration Koch brothers’ network of organizations and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are lobbying hard for passage of a green card giveaway plan to benefit 300,000 Indian workers who were imported by Big Tech’s outsourcing business model.

Last week, the majority of House Republicans and Democrats — led by Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) and Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) — voted to approve a green card giveaway for 300,000 Indian workers and allow India to effectively monopolize the U.S. green card system for at least the next ten years.
The legislation, known as HR. 1044, will ensure outsourcing firms such as Cognizant, as well as Big Tech conglomerates like Amazon and Facebook, have a green card system where only temporary foreign workers on H-1B visas are able to obtain employment visas by creating a backlog of seven to eight years for all foreign nationals. This process would solidify that employment-based green cards only go to temporary foreign visa workers that have been imported to the U.S. by corporations to replace American workers.
Lobbying hard for the legislation‘s passage is the Koch brothers’ Americans for Prosperity organization and the Chamber of Commerce — both of which have routinely opposed President Trump’s “America First” immigration agenda that seeks to reduce overall immigration to raise wages.
The Koch-funded LIBRE Initiative is also asking members to sign letters demanding the passage of the legislation, known as HR. 1044, claiming that it will “make our communities stronger.”


Likewise, the Chamber of Commerce has issued a letter to Congress explaining their support for the green card giveaway plan, arguing that HR. 1044 is necessary to provide certainty “for employers that hire highly-skilled, highly-educated immigrant workers that were born in India and China.”
A number of Senators have taken campaign cash from both Koch Industries and the Chamber of Commerce. Senate Republicans like Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS), Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) have all accepted campaign cash from the Kochs.
Similarly, the Chamber of Commerce has funded Senators such as Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).

Immigration Has Added 43 Million to U.S. Since 1990


Washington, D.C. (July 16, 2019) –  A new analysis of government data from the Center for Immigration Studies shows that immigration between 1990 and 2017 added nearly 43 million people to the population — including both immigrants and their progeny. However, it had a minimal impact on the share of the population that is of working age. This is because immigration added to both the working-age population and to those outside of the working-age population in nearly equal proportions. The analysis also finds that post-1990 immigration has had a somewhat larger impact on the ratio of workers to retirees. However, raising the retirement age by one year has as large an impact on the ratio as do the nearly 43 million post-1990.

Steven Camarota, the Center's director of research and co-author of the report, said, “Looking at the large and relatively young population of post-1990 immigrants and their progeny is a good test of the often cited argument that immigration can solve the problem of America getting older. However, this analysis demonstrates something researchers have long known: Immigration can add a lot of people to the population – but it is no fix for an aging society.”

View the full report: https://cis.org/Report/Can-Immigration-Solve-Problem-Aging-Society

Among the findings: 
  • In 2017, there were 30.8 million post-1990 immigrants (legal and illegal) and 12 million of their U.S.-born children and grandchildren in the country — 42.8 million in total, or one in eight U.S. residents. 
  • While adding significantly to the population, the presence of post-1990 immigrants and their progeny only increased the working-age (16-64) share of the population from 63.9 percent to 64.4 percent. 
  • The working-age share can be seen as the best way to think about the ability of society to pay for government or support the economy, as both children and the elderly generally do not work and are supported by the labor of others. 
  • Immigration had a small impact on the working-age share because immigrants arrive at all ages, grow older over time, and have children, so they added to both the working-age and those too old or too young to work in nearly equal proportions.
  • Even if the number of post-1990 immigrants and their offspring were doubled to almost 86 million—about one in four residents—it would still only have raised the working-age share to 64.8 percent — 0.9 percentage points higher than if there had been no immigration.
  • Excluding children, and looking only at the number of working-age people (16-64) relative to those of retirement age shows that post 1990-immigration increased the ratio from 3.7 potential workers per potential retiree to 4.1.
  • If the retirement age was raised by just one year, assuming no immigration, the ratio of workers to retirees would be 4.1, matching the effect of post-1990 immigration. 
  • Increasing the retirement age by two years it would have increased the worker to retiree ratio to 4.5 in 2017, significantly more than the 43 million post-1990 immigrants and their children. 
  • While this analysis is focused on all immigrants (legal and illegal), we roughly estimate that 32 percent (13.8 million) of the people immigration has added to the country since 1990 are illegal immigrants or their progeny. Since legal and illegal immigration together have a modest impact on the working-age share or the worker-to-retiree ratio, the impact of illegal immigration by itself is very small.
  • In terms of using immigration as a way to pay for entitlement programs, it must also be pointed out that a large share of post-1990 immigrants and their children struggle, living in or near poverty and using welfare programs at relatively high rates, makes it difficult for them to generate a fiscal surplus to pay for social insurance programs.
  • In 2017, 45 percent of households headed by post-1990 immigrants or their adult children used one or more major welfare programs, compared to 26 percent of native-headed households. The rates of poverty or near poverty for post-1990 immigrants and their children were 50 to 60 percent higher than that of natives.


Progressive Immigration Critic: Corporations Push H-1B Giveaway Bill to Slash Middle-Class Salaries

6:06

Bills H.R.1044 and S.386 — both titled the “Fairness to High-Skilled Immigrants Act” — will accelerate “the active stripping of the United States” via the “outsourcing of white-collar jobs” to H-1B visa workers, explained Kevin Lynn, executive director of Progressives for Immigration Reform. He joined Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight for an interview with hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak.

Progressives for Immigration Reform was founded in 2008 to examine “the unintended and intended consequences of unbridled immigration,” said Lynn. “There’s a reason immigration [used to be] restrictive and well-regulated. It’s because prior to it being so from the 1920s back, immigration was being used to hammer labor, so it was very much a part of the populist movement [which] called for restricting immigration. We began to see the first of that legislation in the 1920s, and really, that system was in place until 1965 when the idea was to increase the diversity but not the numbers because the Democratic Party was very much aware of what large numbers of immigrants — how that would impact wages, benefits, [and] social mobility through supply and demand.”
LISTEN:
The “Fairness to High-Skilled Immigrants Act,” the namesake of both H.R.1044 and S.386, is a “misnomer,” said Lynn. Mansour described the bills’ shared name as “Orwellian.”
Lynn recalled his time volunteering and working for Ross Perot between 1992 and 1994. “[Ross Perot’s] big thing was fighting NAFTA, GATT, and the WTO. We failed, and a good portion of our manufacturing base was shipped overseas, and what we’re seeing now [is] the outsourcing of white-collar jobs. We look at a lot at tech workers, but it’s really beyond that — it’s any white-collar job — [and it has] been happening since the late 1990s.”
Disney’s replacement of American workers at Disney World with foreign H-1B workers in 2015 — which included the American workers training their foreign replacements prior to being laid off — is an illustration of a broader phenomenon of “displacement of American workers” via the status quo of H-1B visa issuances, said Lynn.
Outsourcing of jobs to foreigners has expanded beyond manufacturing jobs, explained Lynn. “Initially, they stripped out the manufacturing, and now they’re going after the intellectual property: what’s between the ears of our productive class here in America. This bill, what it will do, is reward all this bad behavior.”
H-1B visas have become de facto green cards, explained Lynn.
“Prior to 1990, an employment visa was a temporary visa,” noted Lynn. “The dual intent nature of the [H-1B] visa, now, allows them to apply for a green card. You have 85,000 people a year coming in on these green cards, which are supposed to be for a three-year stint, which typically allows them to stay another three years on an extension — so it should be six years and gone — but we have all these people coming here with green cards staying. And then, to add insult to injury, they said, ‘If you apply for your green card and you run into that six-year deadline, you can just stay,’ so as a result, hundreds of thousands of workers from India [stay in America] because 80 percent of the workers who come in on the H-1B visa are from India. So you now have hundreds of thousands of [Indians] in the queue versus other countries, and that’s why there’s a backlog, not because India has such a large population.”
“This bill is just going to exacerbate the problem, obviously,” said Mansour. “It seems as if this is a giveaway to the corporations that are — let’s just be honest — trying to replace American workers with cheaper labor because it dramatically cuts their overhead and increases their profits. … This mass inflow of cheaper foreign labor is felt overall by every American all across the American workforce, not just the tech sector. This reduces wages for all Americans, eventually.”
Foreigners graduating from American post-secondary institutions are less costly to hire than their American counterparts, explained Lynn.
“In 2017, over 200,000 foreign students who graduated from a U.S. college or university took advantage of Optional Practical Training,” noted Lynn. “As if things aren’t difficult enough, [American graduates] are now competing with foreign students who actually get a 15-percent rebate to the person hiring them because [the employer] doesn’t have to pay Social Security or FICA.”  Non-citizen foreigners, he speculated, are likely to be more “acquiescent” to employer demands than their American counterparts. “It’s a downward spiral [of wages],” he added.
“I see what’s going on as — I call it — the active stripping the United States,” added Lynn.
Political leaders have prioritized “diversity and multiculturalism” over “good-paying jobs,” stated Lynn.
“What’s going on now, particularly with our employment visa programs, these are not high-skilled workers,” remarked Lynn. “These are barely skilled workers. For instance, the H-1B program, it has four skill levels: one, two, three, and four. Seventy-four percent who come over on the H-1B program are in skill levels one and two, so they compete directly with our community college graduates, our bachelor’s school graduates, and they have a real advantage when it comes to getting hired.
Mansour invited Lynn’s response to claims that immigration is necessary to counter allegedly insufficient birth rates among Americans.
Lynn highlighted research from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. He read the following abstract [emphasis added]:
We assess and compare computer science skills among final-year computer science undergraduates (seniors) in four major economic and political powers that produce approximately half of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics graduates in the world. We find that seniors in the United States substantially outperform seniors in China, India, and Russia by 0.76–0.88 SDs and score comparably with seniors in elite institutions in these countries. Seniors in elite institutions in the United States further outperform seniors in elite institutions in China, India, and Russia by ∼0.85 SDs. The skills advantage of the United States is not because it has a large proportion of high-scoring international students. Finally, males score consistently but only moderately higher (0.16–0.41 SDs) than females within all four countries.
“We have the brains,” said Lynn of Americans’ abilities to compete with foreigners in the workplace. “We have the talent. We have the numbers. But what we’re seeing now is this great displacement that is so large.”
Lynn concluded by highlighting a brain drain of expertise to America. “If they are skilled, that’s great,” he said of immigrant workers. “In the case of say, doctors — and I talk to a lot of foreign-trained physicians or international medical graduates, we’re really getting the best of the best, here, for the most part. But the problem is there is a hit that the sending country takes — they lose that talent — and they may be in desperate need of medical help, instead of us doing the hard work of investing in our people. Let’s make sure we are producing those types of people.”

IS A SECOND REVOLUTION BREWING? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE vs THE MEX INVADERS, CONGRESS, THE WHITE HOUSE, AND THE HISPANIC CAUCUS OF LA RAZA?

TAKING BACK OUR NATION FROM THE MEXICAN OCCUPIERS
THE COMING REVOLUTION... get on board or live in a graffiti covered Mexican dumpster. If you think we’re exaggerating, in today’s Los Angeles Times there’s an article on dump off of garbage etc., in Mexican occupied district of Los Angeles. Collected it would equal in volume a twelve story building... THE MEXICANS ARE HERE.

As Sirota’s book suggests, there is a new revolution brewing. And it’s brewing all over the country by small groups and even individual activist determined to take back our nation from the corporate pillage, corruption, and 38 million illegals waving their Mexican flags.

The invasion of 38 million Mexicans since the “amnesty” of ‘86 didn’t happen by accident. It has been entirely calculated by our elected and their corporate paymasters. The objective is to depress wages which currently hovers in the figure of $200 billion per year. Add to that figure what it costs to subsidize this “cheap” labor, the welfare costs, which over around $300 billion per year. And then you have the genocide of American culture by the Mexicans who have utter contempt for the Mexican welfare state Washington, on behalf of big business, as fronted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and fought for in the trenches by the ACLU, has created in encourage their invasion. They hate our laws, ordinances, flag, language, and culture.

A glance at the American corporate donors to La Raza, the racist Mexican supremacist front would shock you. Would it shock you even more that your tax dollars are paid out to La Raza, which takes money from the Government of Mexico?

The following is a partial list of politicians that are La Raza members working for open borders, amnesty (illegal Mexicans are not interested in citizenship) and no wall. The ultimate goal of Mexico is to continue successfully using the United States as their welfare system, cut a deal whereby the illegals can hop the border, give birth, pillage, make their pesos and then return home.

Virulently racist Mexicans serving Congress are Joe Baca of California, Loretta Sanchez and sister Linda, also of California. Luis Gutierrez, the rabidly Mexican racist Congressman from Illinois Chicago. Grace F. Napolitano (D- CA) and Xavier Becerra.

Here’s Napolitano’s quote in Congressional Quarterly on Barack Obama and the representative for illegals in Congress:

“Unless I see something inherently helpful to our community, I’m going to sit back and see what happens,” Napolitano said. Napolitano and some of her Hispanic colleagues are informally boycotting Obama campaign events aimed at reaching out to Clinton supporters because the candidate himself has not asked for their help.
