FOR OPEN BORDERS, NON-ENFORCEMENT, NO E-VERIFY AND AMNESTY THAN TRUMP. TRUMP’S
IMMIGRATION POLICIES ARE NOTHING BUT A HOAX SIMILAR TO HIS PRETEND WALL.

“Open border advocates, such as
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to
California with little evidence to support such an assertion. As the CIS has
documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few
skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting them
access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If illegals
were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way, CA, with its 2.6
million illegals, would be booming.” STEVE BALDWIN – AMERICAN SPECTATOR

What will America stand for in 2050?
The US should think long and hard about the high number of
Latino immigrants.
By Lawrence Harrison
It's not just a
short-run issue of immigrants competing with citizens for jobs as unemployment
approaches 10 percent or the number of uninsured straining the quality of
healthcare. Heavy immigration from Latin America threatens our cohesiveness as
a nation.
MEXICO WILL DOUBLE U.S.
POPULATION
By Tom Barrett
At the current rate of invasion (mostly through Mexico, but also
through Canada) the United States will be completely over run with illegal
aliens by the year 2025. I’m not talking about legal immigrants who follow US
law to become citizens. In less than 20 years, if we do not stop the invasion,
ILLEGAL aliens and their offspring will be the dominant population in the
United States.
The Biden
campaign had outsourced its policymaking to a radical Hungarian billionaire
with a passion for open borders.
But Biden doesn’t care
because what the Democrats really want are illegal alien votes. And if millions
of Americans lose their jobs and their homes, that’s a small price to pay for
millions of illegal alien votes.
Open Borders Biden
President Trump calls out Biden’s betrayal of American workers.
July 16, 2020
Daniel Greenfield
Daniel Greenfield is a
Shillman Journalism Fellow exploring the influence of the radical Left on
America.
“There’s probably never been a time when candidates are so
different. We want law and order. They don’t want law and order. We want
strong, closed borders with people able to come in through merit, through a
legal process. They don’t want to have any borders at all. They’re going to rip
down the wall,” President Trump declared.
Trump called out Biden’s immigration extremism in the Rose Garden.
Earlier, task forces from the Biden and Sanders campaign had released the
Biden-Sanders unity policy recommendations.
The co-chair of the immigration task force, Marielena Hincapie, is
the executive director of the National Immigration Law Center which is funded,
by among others, George Soros. Other members of
the task force included Marisa Franco, who had called for
"dismantling ICE", and Javier Valdes, the executive director of Make
the Road which supports abolishing ICE and letting illegal aliens vote in state
elections.
BLOG EDITOR: GEORGE
SOROS PLAYED A MAJOR PART IN THE OBAMA-BIDEN ADMINSTRATION FOR OPEN BORDERS.
Make the Road was part of an anti-Trump coalition funded
by Soros.
The Biden campaign had outsourced its policymaking to a radical
Hungarian billionaire with a passion for open borders. The attack on our immigration system that President Trump called
out was the result.
“And these are actual key elements of the Biden Sanders unity
platform,” President Trump said.
Open Borders
“Well, basically, as you know, what they’re going to do is they’re
going to rip down the wall. They’re taking it down. They want to take down the
wall,” President Trump warned in the Rose Garden.
The Biden-Sanders task force proposal actually goes beyond that,
promising that Democrats will "rescind President Trump's fabricated
'National Emergency'" and end the wall. The proposal claims that the wall,
which was meant to stop the huge influx of migrants, is “unnecessary”. It's
unnecessary because Biden and most Democrats don't believe that America should
have borders or immigration restrictions.
The Democrats want to go back to the days when Biden last
held office and the function of the border patrol was to hand out snacks to
illegal migrants and help them enter America.
Catch and Release
The Biden-Sanders plan calls for "community-based
alternatives to detention."
As President Trump succinctly put it, "abolish immigration
detention, no more detention. You come in here illegally, no more
detention."
There’s no border enforcement without detention. Just as there’s
no criminal justice system without detaining criminals. Once illegal
migrants are released, few of them ever show up for a hearing. Why would they?
Their whole goal is to enter the country and work here illegally. Few of their
claims of persecution would stand up at a hearing and they know it.
“Catch and release is gone. So many different things have taken
place. We used to catch them, take their name, and release them into our
country. We don’t do that anymore. We now release them back where they came
from. Sometimes we’ll bring them back to their country,” President Trump said.
Catch and release has been tried for decades. And it’s failed.
America’s huge illegal alien population is partly due to catch and
release policies. Catch and release policies are why massive illegal alien
caravans have headed for our border, knowing that they will be released,
instead of detained. Biden would like to bring back the worst catch and release
days of the Obama administration and his call for community detention is just
catch and release by another name.
Mass Illegal Alien Amnesty
“Grant mass amnesty. Everybody gets amnesty, mass amnesty. Think
of that. And this has created a roadmap to citizenship for massive, massive
numbers,” President Trump warned.
"Democrats believe it is long past time to provide a roadmap
to citizenship for the millions of undocumented workers," the
Biden-Sanders proposal demands.
How many millions is that? The Biden-Sanders task force carefully
doesn’t clarify.
But, as the country staggers under the weight of mass
unemployment, mass amnesty is a monumental betrayal of American workers,
cutting off their dreams, and denying them any hope of a job.
But Biden doesn’t care because what the Democrats really want are
illegal alien votes. And if millions of Americans lose their jobs and their
homes, that’s a small price to pay for millions of illegal alien votes.
Jihadis Welcome
"We will immediately terminate the Trump Administration's
discriminatory travel and immigration bans that disproportionately impact
Muslim and African people," the Biden-Sanders task force vows.
“End all travel bans including from Jihadist regions,” President
Trump warned against such a foolish and destructive policy. “We have a very
strong travel ban, and we don’t want people that are going to come in and blow
up our cities.”
The Democrats not only want them, but the Biden-Sanders task force
promises to invite any potential terrorists whose visas were denied because of
the travel ban to "re-apply to come to the United States."
The Islamic terrorist attacks of tomorrow will be brought to you
by Biden’s terror amnesty.
If Your Country Has a Crime
Problem, Apply for Refugee Status
The refugee system was created for people fleeing oppression, not
bad neighborhoods. But the Biden-Sanders task force promises to go back to the
broken policy of allowing asylum requests by people complaining about gang
violence. The so-called "victims" of gang violence are often involved
in it and allowing them to apply for asylum has helped boost the gang violence
problem in America.
And gang violence is the main cause of gun violence in America.
Mass immigration from gang countries, like El Salvador, just like
mass migration from Jihadist countries, like Syria and Iraq, brings gang
violence to America. The Democrats claim that they want to end gun violence by
banning guns. That didn’t work in Europe and it won’t work here. The best way
to stop gun violence is to cut off the flow of new gang members to America by
ending open borders asylum.
Instead, Biden is telling Americans that if they like their MS-13
beheadings, they can keep them.
Free Health Care for Illegal
Aliens
"They want government healthcare for all illegal aliens. This
is part of their plan. I’m not making this up. This is all down in their plan
from last week," President Trump said.
And, indeed, the Biden-Sanders plan calls for expanding ObamaCare
to DACA illegal aliens and rushing new immigrants into Medicaid without a
waiting period.
"Sign new immigrants up for welfare immediately. This is Joe
Biden. So they walk off and they come in and they put a foot into our land, and
we sign up new immigrants up for welfare. We sign them up immediately. They get
welfare benefits. United States citizens. Don’t get what they’re looking to
give illegal immigrants. Think of that,” President Trump expressed his
frustration. “Sign up. It’s hard to believe I’m even reading that, new
immigrants for welfare immediately. Not to mention the cost of this which is
incalculable. The cost of this is so crazy.”
The Biden-Sanders plan claims that illegal aliens need free health
care because of the Wuhan Virus.
But, as President Trump points out, Democrat support for open
borders is what really spread the virus.
“The wall was so timely because it stopped people coming in from
heavily infected areas of Mexico. If we had that, we would be in trouble like
you wouldn’t believe,” President Trump said.
Come to America, Get on Welfare
"End requirement for immigrant self-sufficiency and maximize
their welfare. Now, this is us writing this. Who’s not coming to the United
States? Every person from South America is going to pour in,” President Trump
fumed.
The Biden-Sanders plan not only wants quick Medicaid for
immigrants, but promises to "immediately halt enforcement of and rescind
the Trump Administration's un-American immigrant wealth test."
Determining whether new immigrants can support themselves, or
whether they will become a burden on taxpayers, is not a wealth test and it's
not un-American.
It's how America's immigration system was always meant to work.
The Biden-Sanders plan will force the citizens of a country
already struggling with the economic havoc of the pandemic lockdowns and the
Black Lives Matter riots to shoulder the burden of welfare migrants.
“Every person from other countries, they’re going to be pouring
in. End requirement, think of that, for immigrant self-sufficiency and remember
to maximize welfare. So we give it a maximum. Then we have massively expand
immigration during a global pandemic, taking jobs from unemployed
Americans," President Trump pointed out.
Are You an Illegal Alien?
Welcome Back to America.
The Biden-Sanders plan really rolls out the red carpet for illegal
aliens who had been banned from returning to America.
"The task force calls for eliminating "immigration
barriers, such as the 3- and 10-year bars, and remove the 10-year waiting
period for waivers to the permanent bars."
The 3- and 10-year bans are for illegal aliens who were living in
the United States.
The Biden-Sanders plan would make it very easy for those illegal
aliens to emigrate to the United States if they have family members already
living here.
Chain Migration Puts American
Taxpayers in Chains
“Vastly expand low-skilled immigration to the United States. So
they want a lot of people come in with low skills," President Trump said.
As the president had already pointed out, quite a lot of American
low-skilled workers had lost their jobs because of the pandemic lockdowns.
Bringing in large numbers of low-skilled workers would cripple the American
workforce.
Especially the African-American workforce.
But the Biden-Sanders plan doubles down on the Democrat commitment
to chain migration, declaring that it will build immigration policy around
"family unity".
Chain migration means lots of low-skilled and welfare immigrants
flooding America.
Protecting Illegal Aliens and
Their Employers From the Law
The Biden-Sanders plan calls for making every place illegal aliens
work into a "sanctuary" workplace.
The task force promises to "end workplace and community
raids".
The proposal would effectively end domestic immigration
enforcement. As President Trump said, “abolish immigration enforcement against
illegal workers. Think of that.”
The victims of this policy will be the American workers and
unemployed Americans who won’t even have a shot because their jobs will be
taken by illegal aliens who will be protected from workplace raids.
The plan sends employers of illegal aliens the message that Joe
Biden has their back.
A Radical Attack on American
Workers
As President Trump said, “This is Biden. Biden’s gone radical
left.”
The Biden-Sanders open borders, amnesty, and welfare plan goes
beyond Obama. It incorporates proposals from Soros grantees and Sanders allies
that would end America as an independent nation.
These proposals would break the back of American workers and
reduce much of the population to welfare status. They represent the worst
attack on the American working class in history.
President Trump is now under attack for condemning the
Biden-Sanders plan in the Rose Garden. Meanwhile the Democrats, who claim to
care about workers, refuse to condemn Biden’s descent into a radical extremism
that puts illegal aliens first and American workers last.
State
and Local Politicians Move to Grant Coronavirus Relief to Illegal Aliens
By Matthew Tragesser

Study: More than 7-in-10 California Immigrant
Welfare
More than 7-in-10 households headed
by immigrants in the state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare,
a new study reveals.
The latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS)
finds that about 72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants
use one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the
number one immigrant-receiving state in the U.S.
Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of households headed by
native-born Americans use welfare in California.
All four states with the largest foreign-born populations,
including California, have extremely high use of welfare by immigrant
households. In Texas, for example, nearly 70 percent of households headed by
immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare. Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of
native-born households in Texas are on welfare.
In New York and Florida, a majority of households headed by
immigrants and noncitizens are on welfare. Overall, about 63 percent of
immigrant households use welfare while only 35 percent of native-born
households use welfare.
President Trump’s administration is looking to soon implement a
policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the mass importation of
welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public charge” rule whereby
legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a permanent residency in the
U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the past, including using
Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.
The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers
in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount
taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling
costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled
legal immigrants.
As Breitbart News reported, the majority of the more than 1.5
million foreign nationals entering the country every year use about 57 percent more food stamps than the
average native-born American household. Overall, immigrant households
consume 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizen households and 44
percent more in Medicaid dollars. This straining of public services by a
booming 44 million foreign-born population translates to the
average immigrant household costing American taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare.
Biden and the Immigration Trap
'Uncle Joe' Agonistes
By Andrew R. Arthur on
May 21, 2020
On
Tuesday, the Washington Post ran an article detailing the struggles confronting
the campaign of presumptive Democratic nominee for president Joe Biden with
respect to immigration. There are a few things that the article leaves out, but
it is notable (and somewhat shocking) for what it contains. What it ultimately
shows is that the former vice president is boxed into an immigration trap.
Specifically,
the article details the competing forces that are pulling "Uncle Joe"
on immigration as he seeks to wrest the White House from Donald Trump (whose
immigration stance, the paper admits, helped propel him to the presidency in
2016).
On
the one side is the presumptive candidate's desire to capture the votes of
white blue-collar voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin (all won by
Trump in the last election), while on the other is his need to turn out the
Hispanic vote, particularly in Florida and Arizona. The article states that
Latino voters "are expected to become the country's largest nonwhite
voting bloc this fall."
Although
the Post alludes to Biden's immigration proposals (which
are somewhat out there, as I have described here, here, and here), and discusses his more outré ideas, such as suspending
deportations for his first 100 days in office and then deporting only
felons (which would essentially nullify much of the Immigration and Nationality
Act), the Post simultaneously fails to note that those proposals would likely
not resound with much of the voting populace, while at the same time contending
that these policies don't go far enough for "significant segments of his
own party".
Those
"segments" are, the paper contends, clamoring for Biden to commit to
"removing criminal penalties for those who cross the border illegally,
removing barriers from the border [,and] abolishing Immigration and Customs
Enforcement." There is likely a reason that Biden does not want to talk
about those ideas on the campaign trail.
Polls don't show support for Biden positions
Polling from August 2018 — when the "Abolish ICE" fever was likely cresting — showed only 24 percent of voters
supported the idea, with Democrats, Republicans, and independents staking out
that position about equally. Some 40 percent disagreed, while 34 percent had no
opinion.
Not
to say that Democrats wildly supported the agency — 57 percent of Democrats had
an unfavorable view of ICE, with an equal percentage of Republicans in favor of
it, and 46 percent of independents took no view. Many of those opposed to
abolition but who also don't like ICE likely were concerned about the law of
unintended consequences, and by May 2019 Buzzfeed News reported: "'Abolish ICE' Was The Call Of
Last Summer. 2020 Democrats Have Moved On".
Further,
in July 2019, The Hill noted that a poll found "a plurality of voters,
41 percent, thought those crossing the border illegally should face criminal
punishment, while 32 percent said it should just warrant a fine." With
respect to independents, 36 percent favored criminal penalties, while "33
percent ... think it should be treated as a misdemeanor, with just a fine as
punishment."
I
note that this response shows a certain misapprehension of the current state of
the law (initial illegal entry is already a misdemeanor, with a
fine as an optional but rarely, if ever, imposed punishment, and most of those
prosecuted are sentenced merely to time served while awaiting prosecution),
suggesting that even those voters — if they knew the facts — would actually
want stricter punishment than most aliens who have entered illegally already
receive. No wonder the former vice president does not want to discuss the
issue, let alone make it a key point for his campaign.
On
barriers at the border, the polling is a bit more mixed. In February
2019, Gallup reported that six in 10 Americans opposed a border
wall, but that poll was taken directly after a bruising government shutdown
that largely focused on the issue. I will note that last Monday, KXAN (the NBC affiliate in Austin, Texas) released a
poll showing that excitement for Donald Trump in Texas swamped enthusiasm for
Biden in the Lone Star State. Most significantly:
When broken down by
party, 19.5% of Democrats said they were extremely excited about Biden and 22.6
said they were "not that excited." Meanwhile, 49.4% of Republicans
said they were "extremely excited" about supporting Trump and 9.5%
reported they were not that excited about him.
Texas and Arizona are currently the primary sites for new border wall
construction, and if Texans were that opposed to what is and has been the
president's key immigration proposal, it would likely be reflected in their
lack of enthusiasm. It does not seem to have moved the needle, however, or if
it did, it is in Trump's favor.
I
will note that I spoke on the issue in a debate in February before a largely
liberal crowd, and opposition to the wall was an applause point (from an
audience that all but defined the "Dunning-Kruger Effect" on the issue), but a lot has changed in three
months. The Post itself reported on April 28 that 65 percent of Americans were in favor of a
temporary suspension in immigration during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, with
34 percent opposed.
Polling
found that 83 percent of Republicans and 67 percent of independents were in
favor of temporary restrictions, and Democrats were split 49-49 on the issue.
Significantly, 67 percent of whites, 61 percent of "nonwhites"
(presumably including Latinos), and a majority of 18- to 29-year-olds were in
favor. Now again, "temporary suspensions on immigration" and
"border wall construction" are two different things, but an influx of
illegal entrants during the (traditional) illegal travel season of
April to December while lockdowns are still in place could tie the two issues
in voters' minds, and gubernatorial inter-state travel
restrictions may have done so
already.
And
voters stuck at home as a result of Wuhan coronavirus restrictions could be
only temporarily less inclined to support the entry of aliens, legal or
otherwise. That said, the transit of the illness from China could give them pause to take a slightly more
charitable view toward Donald Trump's opposition to open borders.
Sound tough on China, or not?
Lest
you think I am casting aspersions with respect to the last point (I am not, and
consider anyone who blames any American — citizen or immigrant — for the virus
to be an idiot), I am really just channeling the former vice president.
The Post article on Biden notes: "Some were alarmed when the
Biden campaign began airing an ad in battleground states that accused Trump of
having 'rolled over for the Chinese' amid the pandemic and 'let in 40,000
travelers from China.'" That is an apt description of the response to that
ad on the part of progressives.
In
particular, an April 23 Politico article captioned "Biden ad exposes a rift over
China on the left: The former vice president's effort to hit Trump as soft on
Beijing is backfiring among parts of his base" states:
Joe
Biden's effort to outflank President Donald Trump on China is leading to
blowback from within his own political base.
Some
worry the rhetoric in a new Biden campaign ad could spur anti-Asian bias
already on the rise because of the coronavirus pandemic. Others argue that
Biden's effort to sound tougher on China than Trump could backfire
diplomatically in the long run.
...
"I acknowledge and
understand the need and desire to defeat and beat Trump, however, my question
is 'Who is the Biden campaign willing to sacrifice along that way?'" said
Timmy Lu, executive director of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders for Civic
Empowerment.
So
why did Biden release the ad? Because he was in a box over his earlier
statements criticizing the president for his response to the Wuhan coronavirus
the day that the White House announced restrictions on travel from the People's Republic of China.
Specifically, Biden, campaigning in Iowa, stated: "This is no time for
Donald Trump's record of hysteria and xenophobia — hysterical xenophobia — and
fearmongering to lead the way instead of science." (Curiously, the YouTube link to the video of those comments states: "Video
unavailable, This video has been removed by the uploader." Hmmm.)
The Post notes that Biden has sought insight into handling
the issue of immigration as a candidate from, among others, Sen. Robert Casey
(D-Pa.). Casey fought off Republican Lou Barletta — an immigration hawk — in a
2018 challenge for Casey's senate seat, and:
He
urged Biden to emphasize the economic benefits of immigration while pledging to
secure the southern border to keep drugs and criminals out.
"You
have to make it very clear that you stand for border security — and not just
that you stand for it, but that you voted for it," Casey said, citing past
measures that have won Democratic backing.
But, at the same time,
he said most voters want an immigration system that is humane and fair. The
separation of families at the border was a wake-up call for some voters, Casey
said.
I
am not sure how that border security advice squares with Biden's promise that
"the only deportations that will take place" under his administration
"are commissions of felonies in the United States of America"
(meaning that Mexican cartel members who enter illegally will not be deported,
for example), but for some reason the Post fails to mention the discrepancy.
That
said, such advice is easier given to the former vice president than it will be
swallowed by the American people, because of Biden's record.
I
would posit initially that recommendations like Casey's are likely the reason
that Biden's immigration proposals begin:
It is a moral failing
and a national shame when a father and his baby daughter drown seeking our
shores. When children are locked away in overcrowded detention centers and the
government seeks to keep them there indefinitely. When our government argues in
court against giving those children toothbrushes and soap. When President Trump
uses family separation as a weapon against desperate mothers, fathers, and
children seeking safety and a better life.
The Obama-Biden administration's record
Again,
easily said. It will, however, be very difficult for Biden to distance himself
from some very similar policies enacted under the "Obama-Biden
administration".
There
is likely a reason why Biden does not (directly) fall back on the "kids in cages" trope that has become a standard for tendentious discussions
of immigration by political hacks. As I have previously noted:
Snopes
(not exactly a Trump-friendly outlet) examined the following fact: "The
Obama administration, not the Trump administration, built the cages that hold
many immigrant children at the U.S.-Mexico border." They deemed that
statement "true", explaining:
Pictures of children
behind chain-link fencing were captured at a site in McAllen, Texas, that had
been converted from a warehouse to an immigrant-detention facility in 2014.
Social media users who defended Trump's immigration policies also shared a 2014
photograph of Obama's Homeland Security Secretary, Jeh Johnson, touring a
facility in Nogales, Arizona, in 2014, in which the fencing could be seen
surrounding migrants there as well. That picture was taken during a spike in
the number of unaccompanied children fleeing violence in Central American
countries.
That
said, there is a direct line from "children ... locked away in overcrowded
detention centers and the government [that] seeks to keep them there
indefinitely", who cannot access "toothbrushes and soap" and the
decisions of the previous administration to erect fencing in Border Patrol
processing centers to protect unaccompanied alien children (UACs). One that
Biden would likely prefer to be forgotten.
And
a direct line to the Obama-Biden administration's 2014 "blanket policy to
detain all female-headed families, including children, in secure, unlicensed
facilities for the duration of the proceedings that determine whether they are
entitled to remain in the United States," which prompted Judge Dolly Gee of the U.S. District Court for the Central District
of California to find President Obama's Department of Homeland
Security in breach of the Flores settlement agreement in July
2015.
Plus,
as I have previously noted ad nauseam, the fact that UACs were stuck in
the conditions Biden describes had everything to do with Congress's (and
especially congressional Democrats') failure to provide funding Trump and his
acting Homeland Security secretary had sought for more than a month, and
nothing to do with a volitional decision by the administration to keep them
there.
These
facts may have been elided by a compliant press (the Post did not mention them at all in its Biden
immigration piece), but I doubt that they will escape notice during a
presidential campaign when the president and independent interest groups can
throw money at ads highlighting them.
Pandering to Latino voters
Then,
there is the pandering by Biden and his surrogates themselves. Much of Biden's
outreach to Latino voters appears to focus on immigration, but is that really
the most important issue to those voters?
In
a June 2019 survey by Unidos US, "jobs and the economy" was the most important
issue an ideal candidate would address (23 percent) for 1,854 eligible Latino
voters in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, and Texas, followed by
"healthcare" (17 percent) and then "immigration" (15
percent). "Gun violence" (8 percent) and "climate change"
(7 percent) together equaled that total.
BLOG:
OBAMA FUNDED AND OPERATED LA RAZA 'The Race" NOW CALLING ITSELF UNIDOSUS
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. IT IS A MEX FASCIST ANTI-AMERICAN POLITICAL MOVEMENT FOR
SURRENDER OF AMERICA TO MEXICO.
Unidos US, for those who are not familiar, is the current
incarnation of the "National Council of La Raza", which bills
itself as "the nation's largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy
organization". Hardly a MAGA front group.
Given
these numbers, it is no surprise that the Atlantic magazine in February stated
that 30 percent of Latino voters support the president, in an opinion piece
captioned "Latino Support for Trump Is
Real: And that's a problem for Democrats" (not to be confused with the outlet's January 2020
article captioned "Democrats Should Be Worried
About the Latino Vote: Political organizers have a warning for the 2020
candidates").
In
this vein, in early May, Slate ran an article captioned "Biden Has a Real Latino Problem", which stated:
A recent Latino
Decisions poll reveals a clear enthusiasm gap among Latinos for both Biden and
the 2020 election itself, with only 49 percent of registered voters currently
committed to choosing Biden over Trump, and just six out of 10 planning to go
to the polls in November.
That
article focuses on Biden's initial reluctance to distance himself from what the
outlet deems "the controversial immigration policy of the first two years
of the Obama administration" (perhaps too good a sales job by a president
whose rhetoric on removals did not match his actions), and Biden's inability to
present himself to Hispanic voters due to the current pandemic.
Speaking
of which, Slate notes that: "According to the Latino Decisions poll,
almost half of all respondents approve of Trump's handling of the coronavirus
crisis, with 47 percent saying Trump was delivering 'clear and helpful'
information about the pandemic." Again, showing that
"immigration" is not the only concern of Hispanic voters.
Back
to the pandering, however. The Post notes that Biden's "wife Jill, who is learning
Spanish while stuck at home by the pandemic, has begun meeting weekly with
small groups of Latino members of Congress, taking notes on a range of issues
to share with her husband" (I don't have the heart to tell her they speak
English), and the article is accompanied by a photo of Biden "at a
campaign stop at King Taco in Los Angeles, with Los Angeles Mayor Eric
Garcetti".
The
paper also reports that "Biden campaign officials have promised to
significantly increase outreach to Latinos and further diversify the staff now
that they have raised more money, although," the Post notes, "they
declined to provide target numbers."
I
suppose that a Spanish-speaking spouse, an ethnically diverse staff, and a
documented hankering for regional cuisine may win Biden some votes, but the
fact is he is stuck in an immigration box.
If
he ties himself to the "Obama-Biden" administration on the issue, it
appears that he will alienate both immigration activists and those who favor
the Trump administration's reversal of those policies. But, if he panders to those
activists, he will likely turn off many of the voters in swing states who
supported Trump in 2016 (and especially those who were swayed by the
now-president's promises of border security and immigration limitations).
A January article in the Post contained a list of
"Bidenisms", folksy aphorisms that the candidate uses on the stump.
One is: "My dad had an expression ... 'Joey, don't compare me to the
Almighty, compare me to the alternative.''' Most voters already know that the
president has his flaws and imperfections, but once voters get to know Biden's
immigration record and his proposals, they may pull the level for Trump as the
better alternative.
Pollak: Barack Obama Himself Was the Threat to the Rule of Law

longer be prosecuted.
Obama’s remarks, leaked from a
private conference call with members of something called the “Obama Alumni
Association,” show a breathtaking lack of self-awareness.
Obama himself was the threat to the rule of
law, both during his presidency and as it ended.
As Breitbart News has
previously noted, Obama routinely violated the Constitution’s separation of
powers, challenging America’s constitutional foundation in a way no president
before him had done in peacetime.
“I’ve got a pen, and I’ve got a
phone,” Obama said,
threatening to use — and abuse — his executive power — rather than allow the
constitutional process of legislation to proceed.
- Refusing to submit the Iran deal to the
Senate for ratification
- Declaring the Senate in recess when it
was not (struck down, later, in a 9-0 Supreme
Court decision)
- Defying the courts when
told to renew oil and gas activity in the Gulf of Mexico, or to stop giving amnesty to illegal aliens
- Threatening the Supreme Court
after Citizens United,
and before the Obamacare decision
- Altering Obamacare’s
statutory deadline unilaterally
- Creating the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parents of Americans
(DAPA) programs after admitting it
was unconstitutional
- Trying to wipe out the coal industry
Moreover, the Flynn investigation
itself undermined the rule of law by targeting a man the government knew was
innocent of any crime. Similarly, Obama’s own effort to
protect Hillary Clinton, and his administration’s attempt to undermine Trump
through false allegations of “Russia collusion,” also violated the rule of law.
Last week it emerged that it was
Obama himself who told then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates about
Flynn’s lawful conversation
with the Russian ambassador, which set the investigative wheels in motion.
Obama’s phony protest suggests he is
feeling desperate as attention turns, finally, to his own role in the affair.

Biden’s
Coronavirus Plan: Catch and Release Border Crossers into U.S.

Presumptive 2020 Democrat
presidential nominee Joe Biden is suggesting a restart of the nation’s “Catch
and Release” program in the midst of the coronavirus crisis. The policy would
ensure thousands of border crossers are readily released into the United
States.
This week, during an interview with
Florida local media, Biden suggested a return to
the previous, decades-long policy of catching and releasing border crossers
into the U.S. as they await their asylum hearings despite public health
concerns over the coronavirus.
“You’ve never seen a time where
someone seeking asylum has to seek it from another country,” Biden said when
asked about his immigration plan in the middle of the coronavirus crisis.
“You’ve never seen a circumstance where we put people in cages. We have to take
stock of where we are.”
Biden’s plan would ensure that
thousands of border crossers who have arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border since
President Trump’s shutdown of the region
would be released into the country while they await their asylum hearings — the
majority of which take years to hold.
Today, Trump’s “Remain in Mexico”
policy coupled with the border shutdown has allowed federal immigration
officials to swiftly return border crossers to Mexico in an average of 96 minutes. The policy means
border crossers from Mexico and Central America are processed and immediately
returned to Mexico without setting foot in the U.S. interior.
As Breitbart News reported, federal
immigration officials have said that as of April 10, Trump’s policy
had successfully returned 10,000 border crossers to Mexico.
Analysis conducted by the Center
for Economic and Policy Research shows a continued flow of border crossers
being returned to their native countries in recent weeks.
From March 15 to April 24, ICE Air
appears to have made 21 deportation flights to Guatemala; 18 to Honduras; 12 to
El Salvador; six to Brazil; three each to Nicaragua, Ecuador, Haiti, and the
Dominican Republic; and one each to Colombia and Jamaica…
…
Over the last 12 weeks, it appears
that ICE has used 22 unique charter planes for 232 likely deportation flights.
Of those planes, 15 participated in confirmed ICE Air deportation flights
between October 2018 and May 2019, the most recent data compiled by UWCHR.
Biden’s plan, though, would reverse
such measures, halting deportations except for convicted felon illegal aliens
and allowing those arriving at the border to await their asylum hearings in the
U.S. interior with the hopes that they show up to court.
The plan proposed by Biden comes
even as public health concerns have circulated around border crossers arriving
at the southern border. This week, an illegal alien from India tested positive for
coronavirus after he snuck across the border into California with a group of
Mexican nationals.
Likewise, data from Guatemalan
officials have said about 50 to 75 percent of all migrants returned to
Guatemala from the U.S. have tested positive for
coronavirus.
Under Biden’s plan, each of these
border crossers would be in a federal immigration facility or already released
into the U.S. interior.
Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy has
decimated asylum fraud. In the first few months of its implementation, the
policy ensured that zero of 1,200 total border
crossers ineligible for asylum in Mexico had been released into the U.S.
interior. Most recent reports have
indicated that the Remain in Mexico policy has a less than one percent
asylum-grant rate.
