Sen.
Kamala Harris (D-CA) may only be the vice presidential nominee on the Democrat
ticket, but she is already promising that a “Harris administration with Joe
Biden” will be a boon to voters.
The California lawmaker, whom
the former vice president said he chose as his running mate last month because
of her readiness “ to lead on day one ,” told a group of Latino
small business owners from Arizona on Saturday that it was vital they made the
right choice this November.
“As part of our Build Back
Better agenda, we will need to make sure you have a president in the White
House who actually sees you, who understands your needs, who understands the
dignity of your work, and who has your back,” Harris said in a five-minute
virtual address to the group, according to the Arizona Republic .
“A Harris administration together with Joe Biden as the
president of the United States, the Biden-Haris administration will provide
access to 100 billion dollars in low-interest loans and investments for
minority-business owners,” she added:

Harris’ remarks come as some
Democrat strategists continue to express concerns over Biden’s fitness and
stamina for the presidency. Since jumping into the 2020 race, the former vice
president has flummoxed many with his frequent gaffes and
misstatements on the campaign trail.
The issue came to a head last
week when a one-time White House stenographer, who worked exclusively with
Biden during the Obama administration, told the Washington Free
Beacon that the former vice president had deteriorated since leaving office.
“It is a complete difference from what he was in 2017,” the
stenographer said. “He’s lost a step and he doesn’t seem to have the same
mental acuity as he did four years ago.”
“He doesn’t have the energy, he doesn’t have the pace of his
speaking,” they added. “He’s a different guy.
Joe Biden Promises to
Let Mayors Import Foreign Workers

If
Joe Biden is elected president, mayors and county executives will get a
pipeline of foreign workers for local CEOs who say they cannot recruit
Americans for the jobs, says Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign platform.
“It
is the Democratic version of [President] George W. Bush’s [2004] ‘ Willing worker, willing employer’ proposal,”
said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. The Bush
proposal, he said, would have allowed:
Any employer
to import any number of workers from anywhere in the world to do any job at any
wage above minimum wage. What Biden wants to do … is to give city and county
governments the ability to import people and then give them to the employers.
In exchange,
Krikorian said, “the [employers] would express their gratitude with donations
and consulting contracts for the [politicians’] cocaine-addicted sons.”
Biden’s
local migration plan is described in his immigration platform titled, “The Biden Plan
for Securing Our Values as a Nation of Immigrants”:
As
president, Biden will support a program to allow any county or municipal
executive of a large or midsize county or city to petition for additional
immigrant visas to support the region’s economic development strategy, provided
employers in those regions certify there are available jobs, and that there are
no workers to fill them. Holders of these visas would be required to work and
reside in the city or county that petitioned for them.
The imported
workers would not be legal immigrants, according to the plan. They would be
visa workers who likely could eventually apply for green cards, presumably if
they have earned the approval or CEOs or mayors.
Even without
approval from Congress, the plan is doable because it builds on the existing
pipelines of foreign workers.
For
example, both presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama cited section
1324a of the 1965 immigration law to create and expand the
Practical Training pipeline, which provided work permits to roughly 500,000
foreign graduates of U.S. colleges in 2019. In contrast, President Donald
Trump has trimmed the program.
Obama used
the same 1324a claim to bypass Congress, as he provided work permits to at
least 800,000 younger illegal immigrants under the so-called Deferred Action
for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
For more
than a decade, lower courts have ping-ponged two lawsuits by the Immigration
Reform Law Institute challenging the 1324a claim. The Supreme Court declined to
address the legality of the 1324a claim when it rejected President Donald
Trump’s effort to cancel the program.
Also,
Congress has declined to block the work permit programs, and in 2019,
apparently affirmed a “ Parole in Place ” presidential authority that could
be cited in presidential amnesties.
Moreover,
there is no annual limit on the number of foreign temporary workers who can be
nominated for green cards. This means that Fortune 500 CEOs can import
short-term workers and then extend their stay by nominating them for green
cards. Many CEOs prefer indentured workers because they are unable to leave
their employers until they get their green cards, perhaps after a decade of
compliant work.
The Biden
program is pitched as a stimulus for interior states who have been left behind
as Congress’s immigration programs deliver millions of new workers and
trillions of dollars in new wealth to coastal investors, states, regions, and
counties.
Biden’s plan
says the new pipeline would:
…allow
cities and counties to petition for higher levels of immigrants to support
their growth. The disparity in economic growth between U.S. cities, and between
rural communities and urban areas, is one of the great imbalances of today’s
economy. Some cities and many rural communities struggle with shrinking
populations, an erosion of economic opportunity, and local businesses that face
unique challenges. Others simply struggle to attract a productive workforce and
innovative entrepreneurs.
The
language in Biden’s plan echoes the pitch by the investor-created Economic Innovation Group , which is
lobbying legislators to back a new immigration program dubbed the “Heartland
Visa.” The group’s pitch says that “A place-based visa program would allow
mutually-advantageous matches to be made between skilled immigrants and places
wishing to attract more human capital.”
The
group sold its idea to the New York Times , Pete Buttigieg , and others. Buttigieg’s
2020 vision , titled,
“Investing in an American asset: Unleashing the Potential of Rural America,”
said:
Pete will
create a new, place-based Community Renewal visa to provide opportunities for
people who want to move to America and help build our economy where they are
needed most and where they will do well. These visas will be targeted toward
counties that have lost prime-working-age population over the last 10 years,
and smaller cities that are struggling to keep pace economically with larger
cities.
The
EIG is run by wealthy
investors who would gain from any increased inflow of cheap workers,
consumers, renters, and home-buyers — especially if the immigrants needed
federal aid. The group is particularly interested in raising real estate
prices, saying , “The relationship between
population growth and housing demand is clear. More people means more demand
for housing, and fewer people means less demand.”
The EIG
group did not respond to emails from Breitbart News.
Immigration shifts wealth from wages to
stocks, from young to old, from central states to the coasts, from the many to
the few.
Yes, migrants get huge relative gains in pay & civic life by moving into
US.

The
EIG plan would flood local labor markets and make it difficult for American
workers — especially marginalized workers — to argue for good
jobs and decent wages.
Biden’s plan
is a “terrible idea for a whole bunch of reasons,” said Krikorian.
The
program would create a local laborforce of indentured migrant workers, who
would be stuck in the district until they eventually get green cards, said
Krikorian. “The indentured side of it is appalling … Are they going to
send ‘immigrant chasers’ after them as they move to the next town?”
The
plan would encourage corrupt deals with employers, he said.
“When politicians have authority over importing visas, businesses have a
real interest in currying favor with those guys — the certainty of
corruption will be the subject of news stories as long as this kind of
thing lasts,” he said.
The
plan is bad for local government because the easy alternative of cheap foreign
workers will make it difficult for local officials, citizens, and executives to
make difficult resource decisions about education and infrastructure spending,
said Krikorian:
Businesses
and local governments would no longer have an incentive to make the hard
choices about investing in community college, training programs … they won’t
have to. They’ll just call up their Congressman, and order up a bunch of
foreign workers.
EIG’s
“place-based visa plan” won’t help the places that hope for foreign redemption,
said John Miano, a lawyer with the Immigraiton Reform Law Institute. “It will
never work — people will just move to where they want to go,” which is usually
close to similar people, usually in coastal states, he said. But that movement
would be no problem for the EIG investors who have ties to many companies
around the nation, he said.
By allowing
politicians to deliver short-term workers to cooperative CEOs, the Biden plan
would dramatically increase government power over the CEOs, Krikorian said. But
that is not a problem for business advocates of immigration, he said:
Their goal
is maximizing immigration regardless of how it happens. Yes, they would prefer
it happened in a libertarian-ish fashion the way George W Bush offered, where
the government was not involved, but they’ll settle for Biden’s version. It
increases the number of people moving here because that is the goal.
The better
alternative to more visa-worker migration would be to reduce the distorting
impact of the federal government’s cheap-labor immigration policy, say
reformers.
For
example, CEOs will move their coastal jobs to cheaper U.S. locations if
they have to pay fair-market pay rates, Miano said. “If you cut off H-1B visas,
there will be a rush of coastal jobs to Kansas, Montana, and those kinds of
places,” he said.
Trump’s
2020 platform promises to end cheap labor replacement of
American employees.
“The solution
has always been to tighten up the labor market,” said Kevin Lynn, founder of
U.S. Tech Workers. “We’ve seen it in the [Trump-enforced] exit of J-1s [visa workers] — when all of a sudden, job
opportunities are created for college students.”
“It is a
virtuous circle when you tighten the labor market,” he said.
The inflow
of immigrants and visa workers has changed the nation’s workplaces, economy,
and labor force.
For example,
the H-1B visa pipeline delivers roughly 100,000 foreign graduates to CEOs each
year. Most of those H-1B workers are hoping to get green cards from their CEOs,
so they are willing to work long hours, without complaint, for lower salaries,
for many years, in the so-called Green Card Economy.
The H-1B
program is just one of several programs that provide CEOs with
a workforce of at least 1 million indentured foreign graduates who
have few legal rights to demand higher wages, to complain to a federal agency,
or to testify in court.
This huge
population of foreign graduates reduces nationwide pressure for pay raises,
reduces gateway jobs for young American graduates, reduce the workplace status
of American professionals, reduces turnover and innovation in the tech sector,
and reduces the creation of new companies that threaten the tech CEOs’ control
over their technology.
Biden’s
2020 plan includes
several other proposals to expand the inflow fo workers and consumers into the
United States.
He
promises to let companies import more visa workers , to accelerate the inflow of chain-migration migrants , to suspend
immigration enforcement against illegals, and to dramatically increase the
inflow of poor refugees.
Donald Trump's labor & immigration
promises for a 2nd term are vague but useful.
They are also better for ordinary Americans than Joe Biden's business-backed,
open-ended inflow of wage-cutting & rent-raising blue-collar workers &
college-graduates. https://t.co/OmE4tRPf4T

Joe Biden’s Immigration
Plan to Accelerate Chain Migration Inflow

NEIL MUNRO

Democrat Joe
Biden’s immigration plan contains hard-to-see policy changes that would
dramatically accelerate the inflow of roughly four million chain migrants.
Biden’s
promise is included in his 6,600
immigration platform , titled, “The Biden Plan for Securing Our
Values as a Nation of Immigrants.” The document says:
As
president, Biden will support family-based immigration by preserving family
unification as a foundation of our immigration system; by allowing any approved
applicant to receive a temporary non-immigrant visa until the permanent visa is
processed;
“This is the
equivalent to issuing temporary driver’s licenses to anyone who sends in an
application,” said Jessica Vaughan, policy director for the Center for
Immigration Studies. “They can have the temporary license until they come back
for the road test,’ she said.
If Biden’
plan is adopted, “the sky would be the limit … and besides blowing up the
numerical limits on annual immigration [it] would be an enormous boost to the fake-document
and fake-marriage industry,” she said, adding:
We don’t (or
at least we try not to) let people come live here before they have completed
the entire [immigration] application and vetting process … Under the
Biden-Harris system, people would simply create fake relationships to get the
[initial immigration] petition approved, and then get their temporary visa to
come here and just [quit] the application, knowing there is very little
interior enforcement to make them go home later, when or if the fraud is
discovered.
Each year,
roughly four million Americans turn 18 and begin using their skills and
diligence to earn wages and salaries.
But the
federal government slashes their ability to earn wages and buy homes by
delivering roughly one million legal immigrants — including about 600,000
workers — to employers around the United States.
The federal
government also allows companies to import and keep roughly 1.3 million foreign
contract workers in myriad white collar jobs. Those jobs, including many well
paying Silicon Valley jobs, are needed by U.S. graduates to advance in their
careers.
Congress and
the White House also allows companies to keep roughly 600,000 foreign workers
in blue collar seasonal jobs. This inflow allows companies to avoid building a
recruitment business to help young people find a variety of decent jobs around
the United States.
Congress
also does little to deport illegals — or even to deter companies from employing
roughly eight million illegal migrant workers.
These
federal economic policies help companies and investors by inflating the labor
supply, so raising the price of housing, and spiking government spending.
Yet at
least 150 million more foreigners want
to migrate into the United States.
The federal
government does not set any limits on the annual inflow of legal immigrants’
minor children and elderly parents.
But there
are limits — and so, waiting lines — for other categories of immigrants, such
as adult children, married children, and siblings.
Overall, roughly 3.6 million would-be migrants are
waiting in multiple lines, according to a November 2019 report by the
Department of State.
For example,
more than two million additional people are waiting in the “Fourth Preference”
— or F4 line — for the adult siblings of U.S. citizens, but only 65,000 are
given green cards each year.
Similarly,
the federal government awards 23,400 green cars for the married sons and
daughters of green card and citizen immigrants. This “Third Preference,” or
“F3,” waiting list includes 647,236 foreign sons and daughters — many of
whom will also try to bring in their children and relatives once they are
admitted into the United States.
Also, the
government provides green cards to 23,400 adult children of new legal green
card immigrants, who are not yet citizens. But federal data in November 2019
showed that this F2B waiting list of 282,551 adult sons and daughters of
green-card holders.
Donald Trump's labor & immigration promises for a 2nd
term are vague but useful.
They are also better for ordinary Americans than Joe Biden's business-backed,

A DACA amnesty would put more citizen
children of illegal aliens — known as “anchor babies” — on federal welfare,
as Breitbart News reported , while American taxpayers would
be left potentially with a $26 billion bill.
Additionally, about one-in-five DACA
illegal aliens, after an amnesty, would end up on food stamps, while at
least one-in-seven would go on Medicaid. JOHN BINDER
THE NEW PRIVILEGED CLASS: Illegals!
This is why you work From Jan - May
paying taxes to the government ....with the rest of the calendar year is money
for you and your family.
Take, for example, an illegal alien
with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that
wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year,
if he files an Income Tax Return, with his fake Social Security number, he gets
an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200..... free.
He qualifies for Section 8 housing
and subsidized rent.
He qualifies for food stamps.
He qualifies for free (no
deductible, no co-pay) health care.
His children get free breakfasts
and lunches at school.
He requires bilingual teachers and
books.
He qualifies for relief from high
energy bills.
If they are or become, aged, blind
or disabled, they qualify for SSI.
Once qualified for SSI they can
qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense.
He doesn't worry about car
insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language
signs, bulletins and printed material.
He and his family receive the
equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.
Working Americans are lucky to have
$5.00 or $6.00/hour left after Paying their bills and his.
The American taxpayers also pay for
increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.

than $34,500 in federal funds which are spent on each unaccompanied minor
border crosser.
A study by Tom Wong
of the University of California at San Diego discovered that more than 25
percent of DACA-enrolled illegal aliens in the program have anchor babies. That
totals about 200,000 anchor babies who are the children of DACA-enrolled
illegal aliens. This does not include the anchor babies of DACA-qualified
illegal aliens. JOHN BINDER

As
Breitbart News has reported ,
U.S. households headed by foreign-born residents use nearly twice the welfare
of households headed by native-born Americans.
Simultaneously, illegal immigration next year is on track
to soar to the highest level in a decade, with a potential 600,000
border crossers expected.

Exclusive–Steve Camarota:
Every Illegal Alien Costs Americans $70K Over Their Lifetime
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/04/11/exclusive-steve-camarota-every-illegal-alien-costs-americans-70k-over-their-lifetime/
JOHN BINDER
Every
illegal alien, over the course of their lifetime, costs American taxpayers
about $70,000, Center for Immigration Studies Director of Research Steve
Camarota says.
During an interview
with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Daily , Camarota said his research has revealed the
enormous financial burden that illegal immigration has on America’s working and
middle class taxpayers in terms of public services, depressed wages, and
welfare.
“In a person’s
lifetime, I’ve estimated that an illegal border crosser might cost taxpayers …
maybe over $70,000 a year as a net cost,” Camarota said. “And that excludes the
cost of their U.S.-born children, which gets pretty big when you add that in.”
LISTEN:
“Once [an illegal
alien] has a child, they can receive cash welfare on behalf of their U.S.-born
children,” Camarota explained. “Once they have a child, they can live in public
housing. Once they have a child, they can receive food stamps on behalf of that
child. That’s how that works.”
Camarota said the
education levels of illegal aliens, border crossers, and legal immigrants are
largely to blame for the high level of welfare usage by the f0reign-born
population in the U.S., noting that new arrivals tend to compete for jobs
against America’s poor and working class communities.
In past waves of mass
immigration, Camarota said, the U.S. did not have an expansive welfare system.
Today’s ever-growing welfare system, coupled with mass illegal and legal
immigration levels, is “extremely problematic,” according to Camarota, for
American taxpayers.
The RAISE Act — reintroduced in the
Senate by Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR), David Perdue (R-GA), and
Josh Hawley (R-MO) — would cut legal immigration levels in half and convert the
immigration system to favor well-educated foreign nationals, thus relieving
American workers and taxpayers of the nearly five-decade-long wave of booming
immigration. Currently, mass legal immigration redistributes the
wealth of working and middle class Americans to the country’s top
earners.
“Virtually none of that
existed in 1900 during the last great wave of immigration, when we also took in
a number of poor people. We didn’t have a well-developed welfare state,”
Camarota continued:
We’re not going to stop
[the welfare state] tomorrow. So in that context, bringing in less
educated people who are poor is extremely problematic for public coffers, for
taxpayers in a way that it wasn’t in 1900 because the roads weren’t even paved
between the cities in 1900 . It’s just a totally different world. And that’s
the point of the RAISE Act is to sort of bring in line immigration policy with
the reality say of a large government … and a welfare state . [Emphasis
added]
The immigrants are not
all coming to get welfare and they don’t immediately sign up, but over
time, an enormous fraction sign their children up . It’s likely the case
that of the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants, more than half
are signed up for Medicaid — which is our most expensive program.
[Emphasis added]
As Breitbart News has reported , U.S. households
headed by foreign-born residents use nearly twice the welfare of households
headed by native-born Americans.
Every year the U.S.
admits more than 1.5 million foreign nationals, with the vast majority
deriving from chain migration. In 2017, the foreign-born population reached a record high of 44.5
million. By 2023, the Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the legal
and illegal immigrant population of the U.S. will make up nearly 15
percent of the entire U.S. population.

Another
line they cut into: Illegals get free public housing as impoverished Americans

By Monica Showalter
Want some
perspective on why so many blue sanctuary cities have so many homeless
encampments hovering around?
Try the reality
that illegal immigrants are routinely given free public housing by the U.S.,
based on the fact that they are uneducated, unskilled, and largely
unemployable. Those are the criteria, and now
importing poverty has never been easier. Shockingly, this comes as
millions of poor Americans are out in the cold awaiting that housing that
the original law was intended to help.
Thus, the
tent cities, and by coincidence, the worst of these emerging shantytowns are in
blue sanctuary cities loaded with illegal immigrants - Orange County, San
Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, New York...Is there a connection? At a minimum,
it's worth looking at.
The Trump
administration's Department of Housing and Urban Development is finally trying
to put a stop to it as 1.5 million illegals prepare to enter the U.S. this
year, and one can only wonder why they didn't do it yesterday.
According
to a report in the Washington
Times :
The plan would scrap Clinton-era regulations that allowed illegal
immigrants to sign up for assistance without having to disclose their status.
Under the new Trump rules, not only would the leaseholder using public housing
have to be an eligible U.S. person, but the government would verify all
applicants through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE)
database, a federal system that’s used to weed illegal immigrants out of other
welfare programs.
Those already getting HUD assistance would have to go through a new verification,
though it would be over a period of time and wouldn’t all come at once.
“We’ve got our own people to house and need to take care of our
citizens,” an administration official told The Washington Times. “Because of
past loopholes in HUD guidance, illegal aliens were able to live in free public
housing desperately needed by so many of our own citizens. As illegal aliens
attempt to swarm our borders, we’re sending the message that you can’t live off
of American welfare on the taxpayers’ dime.”
The Times
notes that the rules are confusingly contradictary, and some illegal immigrant
families are getting full rides based on just one member being born in the
U.S. The pregnant caravaner who calculatingly slipped across the U.S.
in San Diego late last year, only to have her baby the next day, now, along
with her entire family, gets that free ride on government housing. Plus lots
of cheesy news coverage about how
heartwarming it all is. That's a lot cheaper than any housing she's going to
find back in Tegucigalpa.
Migrants
would be almost fools not to take the offering.
The problem
of course is that Americans who paid into these programs, and the subset who
find themselves in dire circumstances, are in fact being shut out.
The
fill-the-pews Catholic archbishops may love to tout the virtues of illegal
immigrants and wave signs about getting 'justice" for them, but the
hard fact here is that these foreign nationals are stealing from
others as they take this housing benefit under legal technicalities. That's not
a good thing under anyone's theological law. But hypocrisy is comfortable
ground for the entire open borders lobby as they shamelessly
celebrate lawbreaking at the border, leaving the impoverished of the U.S.
out cold.
The Trump
administration is trying to have this outrage fixed by summer. But don't
imagine it won't be without the open-borders lawsuits, the media sob stories,
the leftist judges, and the scolding clerics.
Los Angeles County Pays Over a Billion in
Welfare to Illegal Aliens Over Two Years
BY MASOOMA HAQ
In 2015 and 2016, Los Angeles County paid
nearly $1.3 billion in welfare funds to illegal aliens and their families. That
figure amounts to 25 percent of the total spent on the county’s entire needy
population, according to Fox News .
The state of California is home to more illegal aliens than any other
state in the country. Approximately one in five illegal aliens lives in
California, Pew reported.
Approximately a quarter of California’s 4 million illegal immigrants
reside in Los Angeles County. The county allows illegal immigrant parents with
children born in the United States to seek welfare and food stamp benefits.
The welfare benefits data acquired by Fox News comes from the Los
Angeles County Department of Public Social Services and shows welfare and food
stamp costs for the county’s entire population were $3.1 billion in 2015, $2.9
billion in 2016.
The data also shows that during the first five months of 2017, more than
60,000 families received a total of $181 million.
Over 58,000 families received a total of $602 million in benefits in
2015 and more than 64,000 families received a total of $675 million in 2016.
Robert Rector, a Heritage Foundation senior
fellow who studies poverty and illegal immigration , told Fox the costs represent “the tip of
the iceberg.”
“They get $3 in benefits for every $1 they spend,” Rector said. It can
cost the government a total of $24,000 per year per family to pay for things
like education, police, fire, medical, and subsidized housing.
In February of 2019, the Los Angeles city council signed a resolution
making it a sanctuary city. The resolution did not provide any new legal
protections to their immigrants, but instead solidified existing policies.
In October 2017, former California governor
Jerry Brown signed SB 54 into law. This bill made
California, in Brown’s own words, a “sanctuary state.” The Justice Department
filed a lawsuit against the State of California over the law. A federal
judge dismissed that suit in July. SB 54 took effect on Jan. 1, 2018.
According to Center for Immigration Studies , “The new law does many things: It forbids
all localities from cooperating with ICE detainer notices, it bars any law
enforcement officer from participating in the popular 287(g) program , and it
prevents state and local police from inquiring about individuals’ immigration
status.”
Some counties in California have protested its implementation and joined
the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the state.
California’s campaign to provide public services to illegal immigrants
did not end with the exit of Jerry Brown. His successor, Gavin Newsom, is
just as focused as Brown in funding programs for illegal residents at the
