Democrat
Attorneys General Demand Fast-Track Work Permits for Illegals and Migrants

Twenty-one top Democrat state
officials are trying to block a White House reform that would protect
Americans’ jobs and wages from hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants and
economic migrants who try to get U.S. jobs.
“That’s bad for
immigrants,” said a tweet from New Jersey’s Democrat attorney general, Gurbir
Grewal. Agency officials “want to delay & deny work permits for asylum
seekers.”
“This proposal is cruel and legally
questionable at best,” said California’s Democrat attorney general, Xavier
Becerra. Migrants “who do not enter the country through a port of entry or have
resided in the United States for more than a year would now be summarily denied
access to a work permit,” he said.
The draft proposal would end the
long-standing agency practice of quickly giving one-year work permits to migrants
who ask for asylum, and also illegal immigrants who ask for green cards. For
example, it would withhold work permits from Central American asylum seekers
for more than a year after they present themselves at a U.S. border post, and
it would end the policy of providing temporary work permits to
long-term illegals. The rule would also deny work permits to migrants who apply
for asylum after sneaking into the United States.
The lax work permit policies were
pushed by Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. The policies have
provided millions of work permits to migrants. That huge supply of imported
labor boosts investors and companies by undercutting blue-collar and
white-collar wages, and it encourages more illegal migration.
The scale of this work permit
economy is sketched by the Department of Homeland Security. A January 14 chart shows that at least 1,726,688 got work permits in 2019,
alongside the roughly four million Americans who turned 18 during the year.
The federal government “estimates
that 305,000 asylum seekers will be affected by the Proposed Rule in the first
year alone, with just under 300,000 affected in subsequent years,” according to
the complaint by the 21 attorneys general.
“This important new regulatory
initiative has had far less media coverage than it merits,” said Dale Wilcox,
general counsel of the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI).
“The new regulation is complex but cohesive in its three-part strategy to
deter aliens from filing fraudulent or otherwise defective asylum claims,” said
a January 14 statement from the IRLI:
Aliens who illegally cross the
border instead of applying for asylum at a port of entry will be ineligible to
work until they are actually granted asylum. All applicants must appear at
USCIS offices to provide fingerprints, photos, and other biodata before
becoming eligible to apply for work permission. IRLI agrees with the government
that this will greatly improve screening for ineligible criminal aliens, a
major problem in this area.
…
Longstanding federal statutes bar
asylum applications filed more than a year after arrival, and sanction
applications that are “frivolous.” The new reforms restrict or eliminate more
than a dozen loopholes in the regulations implementing these statutes. These loopholes
have been used by immigration lawyers and anti-borders activists to make
incomplete and often dishonest applications, many thousands of which are
received eight or even ten years after the aliens first illegally crossed our
borders.
“The [courtroom] backlogs in
adjudicating all these [asylum] claims result in almost automatic employment
authorization, which depresses the wages of American workers and is a magnet
for further illegal entry,” said the IRLI statement. “We applaud the administration for taking this important step
to protect American workers and gain control of the border.”
A Rasmussen survey shows likely voters by
2:1 want Congress to make companies hire & train US grads & workers
instead of importing more foreign workers.
The survey also shows this $/class-based
view co-exists w/ much sympathy for illegal migrants. #S386http://bit.ly/2ZA6WIE
Rasmussen Shows 2:1 Opposition to Cheap Labor
Legal Immigration
The Democrat attorneys general
submitted their objections during the comment period on draft regulations.
The regulation contradicts the
pro-migration “Nation of Immigrants” narrative, say the Democrats:
We, the undersigned Attorneys
General of New Jersey, California, the District of Columbia, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont, and Washington (“The States”), write …
An animating value of the United
States is embodied in the now-famous lines inscribed on the Statue of Liberty:
“Give me your tired, your poor / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
The United States has committed itself to providing asylum seekers a haven from
persecution, regardless of whether they are rich or poor. Indeed, in
establishing the framework for today’s asylum system in the Refugee Act of
1980, Congress made clear it was codifying “one of the oldest themes in
America’s history—welcoming homeless refugees to our shores.”
The regulation will deter further
migration into U.S. jobs, disadvantaging employers and state governments, the
Democrats complain:
By barring many applicants from EADs
completely and indefinitely delaying others’ EADs, the Proposed Rule imposes
economic hurdles that will harm both asylum seekers and States and serve as a
deterrent to seeking asylum in the first instance. Limiting EAD access will
push asylum seekers into the underground economy, impede their ability to take
care of themselves and their families, and harm their health and wellbeing. The
States, too, will feel these consequences. The States, for their part, welcome
thousands of asylum seekers each year who contribute greatly to their
communities and economies.1 The Proposed Rule will lower tax and spending
revenue in the States and harm businesses within the States that will have to
find replacements and alternative labor. It will also increase reliance on
state-funded programs, and hinder the States’ ability to enforce their own
labor and civil rights laws.
…
The Proposed Rule will make it much
more difficult, if not impossible, for many to legally work, costing the States
millions of dollars in lost tax revenue and diminished economic growth. Second,
the resulting delays and denials of work authorization will lead to increased
healthcare costs shouldered by the States. Third, the Proposed Rule will burden
the States’ other social service providers, including state funded non-profit
service providers. Fourth, and finally, the Proposed Rule will make it more
difficult for the States to enforce their own laws, particularly those designed
to protect workers from unfair and abusive conditions of employment.
…
Although unauthorized workers pay
taxes, tax revenue increases when immigrants can legally work, and the States
could stand to lose substantial revenue if the Proposed Rule is implemented.
Currently, undocumented immigrants residing in the States pay approximately
$7.4 billion in state and local taxes annually. This would increase by
approximately $1.4 billion if undocumented immigrants were given legal status.
The Democrats complain the
regulation will make it difficult for migrants to hire the lawyers needed to
win asylum:
Under the Department’s restrictive
approach to work authorization, fewer asylum seekers will have the resources to
hire legal counsel to navigate them through the complex and evolving
immigration bureaucracy.4 That matters a great deal. In 2017, 90 percent of
those without legal representation were denied asylum in immigration court
while only 54 percent of those with legal representation were denied.
The regulation will impact many
migrants, the state attorneys general write:
USCIS asylum offices within the
States are considering 40 percent of the 327,984 pending affirmative asylum
applications. Based on calculations involving the most recent available data,
these offices receive an average of approximately 45,615 asylum applications
per year. The States also hosted over 10,000 or 80 percent of the 13,248 total
immigration court grants of asylum in 2018.
The rule will hurt the businesses
that earn revenues from illegal migrants, they say:
The Proposed Rule will also
significantly reduce the spending power of asylum seekers, thereby weakening
the economies of the States. Curtailing work authorization for asylum seekers
or cutting others off from EADs prematurely will result in lost wages and money
that does not flow to the States’ businesses and economies. The New American
Economy estimates that immigrants exercise billions in spending power each
year, totaling over $724.8 billion in the States. Indeed, the Department itself
recognizes that up to $4.4 billion could be lost in wages.
Businesses will have to hire
Americans instead of migrants and illegals, the attorneys general complain:
By the Department’s own admission,
businesses will not only lose potential labor, but also will likely have to
find replacement labor because the Proposed Rule cuts short asylum seekers’
ability to continue working, even if their asylum cases are ongoing in federal
court. Although the Department asserts that businesses potentially could find
other labor to substitute for the jobs that asylum applicants currently hold,
its own analysis belies that premise. The Department acknowledges that with the
unemployment rate at a “50-year low [. . .] it could be possible that employers
may face difficulties finding reasonable labor substitutes.”
Migrants — including illegals —
provide a large part of the labor force hired by employers in many states, they
say:
While the Department makes no
inquiry into the “wages, occupations, industries, or businesses that may employ
such workers,” there is substantial data that several sectors of the States’
economies disproportionately employ immigrants and are likely to face costs
while trying to find labor substitutes. In New Jersey, for example, service
providers report that many asylum seekers are employed as home health aides,
engineers, dental assistants, construction workers, and in farming and
agriculture. Immigrants fill over two-thirds of the jobs in California’s
agricultural and related sectors, almost half of those in manufacturing, 43
percent of construction jobs, and 41 percent of those in computer and sciences.
Likewise, approximately 43 percent of employed undocumented workers in Illinois
are employed in the food services and manufacturing industries. In New York,
immigrants account for 71.4 percent of taxi drivers and chauffeurs; 68.3
percent of workers in private households, including maids, housekeepers, and
nannies; 57.9 percent of those working as chefs and head cooks; 57.3 percent of
nursing, psychiatric, and home health aides; and 44.7 percent of the state’s
workers in traveler accommodation.
Almost 50% of U.S. employees got higher
wages in 2019, up from almost 40% in 2018.
That's useful progress - but wage growth
will likely rise faster if Congress stopped inflating the labor supply for the
benefit of business. http://bit.ly/2SyaLg7

CBO:
Immigration Has ‘Negative Effect on Wages’
9 Jan 2020230
7:01
Immigration makes all of America richer, but it can make some
Americans poorer, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says in a report
issued January 9.
“Immigration, whether legal or
illegal, expands the labor force and changes its composition, leading to
increases in total economic output,” said the non-partisan report, titled “The Foreign-Born Population and Its Effects on the U.S.
Economy and the Federal Budget—An Overview.”
But this national expansion does “not necessarily [deliver] to
increases in output per capita,” or income per person, the report said:
For example, business leaders say the nation’s enormous
population of immigrants has expanded the nation’s workforce, increased
consumption, and driven up housing prices. But that inflow has also shrunk the
wages of less-educated Americans, the report said:
Among people with less education, a large percentage are foreign
born. Consequently, immigration has exerted downward pressure on the wages of
relatively low-skilled workers who are already in the country, regardless of
their birthplace.
The CBO report contradicts business claims that a bigger economy
ensures bigger wages for everyone.
More ominously, the report also suggests that the American
middle-class — including millions of young college graduates — may suffer a
similar economic disaster if immigration policy is shifted to raise the inflow
of foreign college graduates. The report says:
The effects of immigration on wages depend on the
characteristics of the immigrants. To the extent that newly arrived workers
have abilities similar to those of workers already in the country, immigration
would have a negative effect on wages.
Many business advocates in Washington are calling for a dramatic
increase in “high-skilled immigration” — meaning foreign college graduates who
would compete for the same jobs as American college graduates. For
example, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) is trying to pass his S.386 bill that offers the
prize of renewable work-permits — and eventual citizenship — to an unlimited
number of foreign graduates.
Each year, up to 120,000 foreign graduates — and their spouses
and children — can get green cards via their employer’s sponsorship, even as
perhaps 800,000 Americans graduate from college with skilled degrees.
But Lee’s bill creates a new legal status called “Early Adjustment.”
This status would allow an uncapped number of college graduate migrants to
apply for renewable work permits long before they can get a green card to
become a legal immigrant and citizen.
Existing law allows an uncapped number of foreigners to legally
get short-term work permits and jobs after enrolling in U.S. colleges. The
migrants can get jobs by first paying tuition to a university, and then getting
short-term work permits via the uncapped “Curricular Practical Training” and
the “Optional Practical Training” programs. These workers must leave the United
States after a few years until they enroll themselves in work permit programs.
But Lee’s bill would remove any caps on this foreign worker
population by allowing an unlimited number of foreign workers to get “Early
Adjustment” status from their employers.

Watch: ICE Lure and Sting
Indian Illegal Labor 'OPT' Traffickers
Many migrants already use the CPT and OPT work permits to get
jobs and to also compete for entry into the H-1B visa worker program. Once in
the H-1B program — which accepts 85,000 new workers each year — many of the
migrants also ask their employers to sponsor them for green cards.
The sponsorship allows them to stay working in the United States
until they eventually get their valuable green card, long after their temporary
visas have expired. Congress has not set an annual limit on the number of visa
workers who can be sponsored for green cards, so the resident population of
permanent “temporary workers” is growing fast — and is helping to suppress
wages for American graduates.
Roughly 1.5 million foreign visa workers hold white-collar jobs
throughout the U.S. economy. This number includes at least 750,000 Indians who
are allowed to work via the supposedly temporary CPT, OPT, L-1, and H-1B visa
programs. Roughly 300,000 of these Indians — plus 300,000 family members — are
being allowed to stay in the United States because they asked their employers
to sponsor them for green cards.
The CBO report shows that immigrants comprise roughly 40 percent
of the population of people who did not graduate from high school — and
that immigrants already comprise roughly 20 percent of all people with a
“graduate degree.”
The 20 percent share likely would quickly rise if the Senate
approves Lee’s S.386 plan — and that rise could sharply reduce salaries for
American college graduates.
“Wage trends over the past
half-century suggest that a 10 percent increase in the number of workers with a
particular set of skills probably lowers the wage of that group by at least 3
percent” as the extra workers compete for jobs, says George Borjas, a labor
economist at Harvard. That extra labor does expand the economy — but that
expansion is dwarfed by the transfer of the wage reductions to investors,
he wrote in 2016:
I estimate the current “immigration surplus”—the net increase in
the total wealth of the native population—to be about $50 billion annually. But
behind that calculation is a much larger shift from one group of Americans to
another: The total wealth redistribution from the native losers to the native
winners [mostly employers] is enormous, roughly a half-trillion dollars a year.
“In low-skilled occupations, a one
percent increase in the immigrant composition of an individual’s occupation
reduces wages by [0].8 percent,” said a 1998 report by the Center for Immigration Studies.
A 2013 CBO report predicted that the 2013 “Gang of Eight” amnesty and immigration bill
would reduce the share of income that goes to wage earners and increase the
share that goes to investors. “Because the bill would increase the rate of
growth of the labor force, average wages would be held down in the first decade
after enactment,” the CBO report said.
But all that cheap labor would boost corporate profits and spike
the stock market, the report said. “The rate of return on capital would be
higher [than on labor] under the legislation than under current law throughout
the next two decades,” says the report, titled “The Economic Impact of S. 744.”
Business leaders sometimes admit that an extra supply of workers
forces down wages. “If you have ten people for every job, you’re not going to
have a drive [up] in wages,” U.S. Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue told
Breitbart News on January 9. But “if you have five people for every ten jobs,
wages are going to go up.”
Are rising wages good for national politics?
“You’re damn right they are,” US Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue said, adding: "They are good for national politics if you’re a politician, for sure."http://bit.ly/2FwwCg7

Foreign Workers See Nearly 5X Job Growth of Americans
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/12/13/november-foreign-workers-see-nearly-5x-job-growth-of-americans/
Foreign workers saw nearly five times as much
job growth as native-born American workers did last month, Bureau of Labor
Statistics data reveals.
In November 2018, foreign-born worker employment increased 5.1
percent compared to the same time last year. Meanwhile, native-born Americans
saw an employment increase of only about 1.2 percent year-to-year, almost five
times less job growth as their foreign worker competitors.
The foreign-born workforce — those who are employed and looking
for work — also had significantly higher gains than native-born Americans. Last
month, the number of foreign-born workers in the labor force increased almost
five percent. At the same time, native-born Americans in the labor force
increased only 0.66 percent.
The labor force participation rate among foreign-born workers
increased 1.2 percent, while the labor force participation rate for native-born
Americans increased only 0.2 percent from year-to-year.
Though foreign-born workers have had
significant gains in the last three months of President Trump’s economy, native-born Americans’
unemployment dropped by an impressive 12.5 percent while their foreign
competitors’ unemployment decreased by 5.9 percent.
The fast-growing employment of foreign-born workers over
American citizens is exacerbated by the country’s wage-crushing national
immigration policy whereby about 1.5 million legal and illegal immigrants are
added to the U.S. population every year.
While legal immigrants continued being admitted to the U.S. to
take blue-collar working-class jobs and many white-collar, high-paying jobs,
there remain about six million Americans who are unemployed, 12 percent of whom
are teenagers and nearly six percent of whom are black Americans.
There remain about 1.3 million workers who have been jobless for
more than two years, 4.8 million workers who are working part time but who want
full time jobs, and 1.7 million workers who want a job, including more than
450,000 workers who are discouraged by their job prospects.
Mike
Bloomberg: Employers Should Hire ‘the Best’ Foreigners Instead of Americans
7 Jan 20203,560
8:22
Investor, CEO, and presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg says he
would allow investors and employers to hire the “the best” workers from around
the world instead of Americans.
“This country needs more immigrants
and we should be out looking for immigrants,” Bloomberg told the San
Diego Union-Tribune on January 5.:
For those who need an oboe player for a symphony, we want the
best one. We need a striker for a soccer team, we want to get the best one. We
want a farmworker, we want to get the best one. A computer programmer, we want
to get the best one. So we should be out looking for more immigrants.
The reporter did not ask Bloomberg to define “best.” But for
cost-conscious shareholders and executives, “best” is a synonym for ‘cheaper
than Americans.’
“If business were able to hire without restrictions from
anywhere in the world, pretty much every [American’s] occupation would be
foreignized,” said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration
Studies. He continued:
Americans would have to accept dramatically lower earnings,
whether they object or not. Not just landscapers and tomato pickers, [because]
Indians and Chinese by the millions can do nursing and accounting. There would
not be any job that would not see its earnings fall to the global average.
Bloomberg — who has an estimated wealth of $55 billion — is
trying to exempt investors and shareholders from the nation’s immigration
rules, said Krikorian. For Bloomberg, “immigration laws are not one of those
things that should be allowed to interfere in [the growth of] shareholders’
value,” he said.
“It is obviously unprecedented — but this is not obviously
different from [President] George [W.] Bush’s ideal immigration plan … [and] he
is expressing a pretty standard Republican plutocrat approach to
immigration,” he added.
Out of common sense and fairness, our laws should allow willing
workers to enter our country and fill jobs that Americans have are not filling.
(Applause.) We must make our immigration laws more rational, and more humane.
And I believe we can do so without jeopardizing the livelihoods of American
citizens.
Our reforms should be guided by a few basic principles. First,
America must control its borders …
Second, new immigration laws should serve the economic needs of
our country. If an American employer is offering a job that American citizens
are not willing to take, we ought to welcome into our country a person who will
fill that job.
In December 2018, departing House
Speaker Paul Ryan echoed Bush’s “any willing worker” goal, saying:
[Immigration reform needs] border security and interior
enforcement for starters, but also a modernization of our visa system so that
it makes sense for our economy and for our people so that anyone who wants to
play by the rules, work hard and be part of American fabric can contribute.
This “any willing worker” idea
encouraged Ryan to work
closely — but behind the scenes — with
pro-amnesty, pro-migration groups.
Many GOP legislators echo this “any willing worker” claim when
they declare a “‘legal good, illegal bad,’ approach to migration,” said
Krikorian. That mantra is “piously claiming that illegal immigration is bad,
but is making [pro-American protections] moot by letting huge numbers of people
in legally.”
In contrast, President Donald Trump won his 2016 election on a
promise to shrink immigration. Since then, he has forced down illegal migration
via Mexico and has largely blocked numerous efforts by business to expand the
huge inflow of legal immigrants and visa workers. Trump’s curbs on the supply
of foreign labor have helped to force up wages for blue-collar Americans —
despite determined efforts by business and investment groups to prevent wage
increases.
Bernie
Sanders: ‘Of Course’ Cheap Illegal Workers Drive Down U.S. Wages
Andrew Harnik/AP Photo
14 Jan 2020326
3:30
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) admits cheaper illegal alien workers
drive down wages for America’s working and middle class but continues to support
amnesty for illegal aliens, decriminalization of the United States-Mexico
border, and throwing out President Trump’s “Buy American, Hire American”
executive order.
Sanders navigated through the issue
during an interview with the New
York Times, attempting to explain his previous statements where he
has admitted that opening the U.S. border is detrimental to the
nation-state and has slammed the concept of hemispheric open borders.
During the exchange, Sanders says “of course” cheaper illegal
alien workers hired by businesses at “$5 an hour” will “lower wages” for
America’s working class, who are often looking for entry-level jobs.
“Yeah, if you’re being paid $5 — if you’re being paid $5 an
hour, now of course it’s going to lower wages,” Sanders said. “Why would I hire
at a higher wage?”
Later in the interview, though, Sanders backs away from
immigration’s wage-suppression impact on Americans and focuses on a $15 minimum
wage — suggesting that illegal aliens be legalized and paid the same wage as
Americans.
“All I am saying is that if for whatever reason, I’m paying you
$5 an hour, okay,” Sanders said. “You don’t think that’s going to lower the
wages that she gets?”
Legal immigration levels, where 1.2
million mostly low-skilled legal immigrants and hundreds of thousands of
foreign visa workers are admitted to the country annually, have driven the
number of foreign born workers in the U.S. to its highest level since 1996. This is in addition to the hundreds of thousands of illegal
aliens who enter the country every year.
Most immigrants to the U.S.
immediately begin competing for blue-collar and white-collar jobs against millions of Americans who want full-time employment.
No Labor Shortage: 11M Americans Out of Work, But All Want Full-Time Jobs https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/01/10/no-labor-shortage-11m-americans-out-of-work-but-all-want-full-time-jobs/ …
No Labor Shortage: 11M
Americans Out of Work but Want Full-Time Jobs
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.
For every one percent increase in the immigrant portion of
American workers’ occupations, their weekly wages are cut by about 0.5 percent,
Camarota finds. This means the average native-born American worker today has
his weekly wages reduced by perhaps 8.75 percent since 17.5 percent of the
workforce is foreign born.
In a state like Florida, where immigrants make up about 25.4
percent of the labor force, American workers have their weekly wages reduced by
about 12.5 percent. In California, where immigrants make up 34 percent of the
labor force, American workers’ weekly wages are reduced by potentially 17
percent.
Likewise, every one-percent increase in the immigrant portion of
low-skilled U.S. occupations reduces wages by about 0.8 percent. Should 15
percent of low-skilled jobs be held by foreign-born workers, it would reduce
the wages of native-born American workers by perhaps 12 percent.
Bernie:
On Day One, Executive Order to Reverse Trump’s Border Actions
PENNY STARR
27 Jun 2019186
1:16
Sen. Bernie
Sanders (I-VT) said at the Democrat debate in Miami on Thursday that on his
first day in office if he is elected president, he would issue an executive
order to reverse everything President Donald Trump has done to secure the
border and end the flood of illegal immigration that the government has said
could amount to more than one million migrants
entering the United States in 2019.
“On Day One, we take out our
executive order pen and rescind every damn issue that Trump has done,” Sanders
said.
“What we have got to do on Day One
is invite the presidents and the leadership of Central and Mexico together,”
Sanders said. “This is a hemispheric problem.”
Under President Donald Trump, the
U.S. State Department and Mexico have been working with Central American
countries to provide support, including financial aid, to address problems that
are blamed for people fleeing Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
Trump has also been able to gain
cooperation with Mexico to step up efforts to police its southern border to stop the flow
of hundreds of thousands of migrants who have been flooding across the U.S.
border with Mexico.
