THE DOCTRINE OF THE N.A.F.T.A. GLOBALIST DEMOCRATS IS TO SERVE THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS WITH ENDLESS WAVES OF INVADING 'CHEAP' LABOR SUBSIDIZED WITH WELFARE FUNDED BY TAXES ON MIDDLE AMERICA.
In many speeches, Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elites’ opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.

DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED SANCTUARY CITIES BURNING DOWN - First, give the jobs to 'cheap' labor illegals. Then watch the blacks murder, rob and burn
It has started: Lefty prof says fleeing New Yorkers not a problem because immigrants will replace them
By Monica Showalter
Blue cities have become socialist hellholes, and not surprisingly, people are fleeing.
High taxes, extended lockdowns, massive crime, and rioting and looting have all driven taxpayers from Portland to New York to pack up and leave their cities, heading to friendlier red climes where rule of law is a thing, taxes are low, businesses are easy to start, and public officials show common sense on COVID risks. According to the New York Post:
FlatRate Movers said the 100 moves a day it does in the city are very different from previous years.
"We used to move a lot of people from Brooklyn to Manhattan or Queens," said David Giampietro, the company's chief administrative officer. "Now it's the mileage. We're not going 5 miles anymore. It's more like 20, 30, 40" to New Jersey, Connecticut and upstate.
More than 16,000 New Yorkers changed their address to Connecticut from March through June, the Hartford Courant reported.
United Van Lines and Mayflower movers said it had done 1,000 out-of-state moves from New York City starting in March, with 28 percent to Florida and California, and 16 percent to Texas and North Carolina.
Writer James Alschuler notes that it's gotten very bad in New York, indeed — so bad that he forecasts that the city won't be recover. His must-read piece is here.
It ought to be a point of embarrassment for these blue leftist ruling claques that people are fleeing. People flee the chaos of systemic socialism wherever it is found, sometimes on leaky rafts, sometimes by barreling over walls, and sometimes by UHaul, and all these elites can think is, they're in good company. Like shortages, people voting with their feet is found wherever socialism is found.
So here we are, with thousands of productive people fleeing New York, and instead of begging for them to come back, as Andrew Cuomo did in not so serious terms a few weeks ago, the hardest of the hardcore leftists are now saying, "Big deal, there's more where that came from."
Here's the view of a leftist professor, explaining why human and capital flight is no problemo in New York City, according to Axios:
"What's going to really save New York is immigrants," says Hacker, who has taught political science to many generations of them.
While lots of New Yorkers are leaving, "out there in Bangalore and Ukraine and Natal, there are people who want to be New Yorkers" who will gladly take their place, bringing their ambition and brainpower.
Hacker welcomes these voluntary New Yorkers: "I only want people in the city who want to be here."
This is pretty much the same thing Mayor Bill de Blasio said just a couple weeks ago. According to the New York Post, emphasis mine:
I think you'll see a certain number of people who leave and at the appropriate time — after there's a vaccine — will come back. I think you'll see some people decide they want a different kind of lifestyle, I think those people will be replaced by other people coming in," de Blasio said. "I think that pattern will start again over the next couple of years.
So no worries about people fleeing; there's always more where they came from. To socialists, people are always just "matter," putty in the hands of socialist central planners, and if some flee, they've got replacement parts, with bottomless resources, so who cares? They can always get more where they came from. Never mind the little detail that the people fleeing are often immigrants themselves — the productive kind.
With an arrogant attitude like this, it certainly becomes easy to avoid fiscal reform, end the stranglehold of unions, and drop the choking regulations and lockdowns if there's an endless supply of people, doesn't it? Who needs to adopt a moderate course or reduce the socialist strangleholds on the economy when there's no need to conserve people? This is why the socialists are just going to keep getting crazier.
Mickey Kaus forecast that it would happen and was not surprised:
THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG: "'What’s going to really save New York is immigrants,' says [Andrew] Hacker"... While lots of New Yorkers are leaving, 'out there in Bangalore and Ukraine and Natal, there are people who want to be New Yorkers' who will gladly take their place." https://t.co/HcA5S4IIH8

As usual, he got it right. It's pretty obvious they'll glom onto this narrative more as a means of avoiding any address of their socialist failures. Socialists never ever say they're sorry.
Nolte: Add Kenosha to Growing List of Democrat-Run Cities Engulfed in Violence
After an officer-involved shooting Sunday night, the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin, became the latest in a long line of Democrat-run cities engulfed in violence.
Democrat Mayor John Antaramian ran the city from 1992 to 2008. Obama supporter and presumed Democrat (I can’t find a record anywhere of his official party affiliation) Keith Bosman took his place and served as mayor for two terms until 2016. Antaramian ran and won again in 2016, which makes him the current mayor.
So Kenosha appears to have been run by Democrats going back as far as 1992 — almost 30 years. It is also seen in many ways as a suburb of Chicago. Milwaukee might be 20 miles closer, but Milwaukee’s suburbs are primarily west and north of that city. Kenosha is right on the Wisconsin border and right on a major interstate (I-94) that will get you into downtown Chicago in about an hour, and into the Chicago suburbs even sooner.
Kenosha is a city of about 100,000 that sits right next to Lake Michigan and now, like Portland, Seattle, Milwaukee, Chicago, Minnesota, St. Louis, New York, Oakland, etc., etc., etc., it is ground zero for mindless arson, rioting, and looting.
And all of this broke out before any of the facts are known and with mainstreamed left-wing activists like Shaun King publicly cheering it on.
What we do know is that a black man, Jacob Blake, was apparently shot in the back seven times by a Kenosha police officer. The video that appears to capture the event shows Blake seeming to defy the officers who follow him with guns drawn as he walks around the front of a minivan, opens the door, and starts to either get inside or grab for something.
We don’t know if there was a weapon in the vehicle. We don’t know if the officer who shot Blake feared there was a weapon. Nevertheless, despite these crucial unknowns, Kenosha still experienced a night of mayhem, and if past is prologue, this is only the beginning of the destruction of a small city few had even heard of before last night.
Is this the future in Democrat-run cities?
Are these cities so mismanaged that one mistake or one perceived mistake or even a single act of unconscionable criminality (if that ends up being the case) by a single police officer, means your entire city is going to burn down, will be under siege for months and months by the left-wing terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter?
And then there’s the lingering Ferguson effect… The increase in violent crime that appears to follow these riots — which is what appears to be happening in Chicago and New York right now.
Who wants to live like that?
Who wants to live in a tinderbox where one incident — regardless of the motive behind it — sets off the equivalent of a slow-motion bomb in your own community?
But this is what happens when you elect Democrats.
Wisconsin just fired Republican Gov. Scott Walker and replaced him with Democrat Tom Evers. And what was Evers’ first reaction to the shooting? Did he call for calm? Did he ask for everyone to wait for the facts? Did he promise to protect citizens and property in Kenosha?
No, he immediately justified the rioting and looting against his own citizens with obscene tweets like this one: “While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country.”
And this one: “We stand with all those who have and continue to demand justice, equity, and accountability for Black lives in our country[.]”
And this one: “And we stand against excessive use of force and immediate escalation when engaging with Black Wisconsinites.”
Finally, what we have with Kenosha is the Democrats’ violent Socialist Revolution — which was already creeping into residential areas — officially spreading from the big cities and into a place like Kenosha, a quiet little burg, a place where such a thing seemed impossible only a few months ago.
