'Our middle class is dying': Tucker Carlson blames 'advisers' in Trump orbit for 'tidal wave' of immigration
Fox News host Tucker
Carlson ripped some within President Trump's "orbit" for attempting
to place corporate interests ahead of American workers' welfare during the
coronavirus pandemic.
On his Tuesday night
show, Carlson critiqued Trump advisers, who he alleges crafted a temporary
suspension of immigration without addressing key concerns of the working class.
"The president is
worried about preserving American jobs," Carlson said.
"Unfortunately, and this seems to be the key, some in his orbit are not as
concerned. Their main worry is making donors happy. And if there's one thing
that donors love always, it's cheap employees. Yes, our middle class is dying
at a faster clip than ever before."
Carlson said the
suspension doesn't address the hundreds of thousands of temporary and guest
workers who vie with Americans for industrial and agricultural jobs.
The Fox News host
claimed the suspension was written by out-of-touch staff members who are
"more worried about what their friends think" of the immigration
measures instead of protecting the jobs of citizens.
Carlson noted the
suspension does not apply to a massive section of immigrants who fight with
Americans for working-class jobs.
"The new
moratorium on immigration will last for 60 days," Carlson said. "The
ban will apply only to individuals seeking permanent residency into this
country."
Carlson said Trump's
ban, which could be extended after the two-month period ends, does not apply to
hundreds of thousands of temporary and guest workers who vie with Americans for
industrial and agricultural jobs.
"The purpose of
this tidal wave of immigration has nothing to do with what advocates of
immigration claim immigration is for," added Carlson. "These visas do
not improve American society in any way. We have no moral obligation to give
them. There is no mention of guest workers on the Statue of Liberty."
“Our entire crony capitalist
system, Democrat and Republican alike, has become a
kleptocracy approaching par with third-world hell-holes.
This is the way a great
country is raided by its elite.” --- Karen McQuillan

many small businesses haven't been able to get one of the federal government's
Paycheck Protection Program loans, a Chicago company with close ties to the
White House has.
Continental Materials Corporation is majority owned by the family of Ronald
Gidwitz, who is now the U.S. ambassador to Belgium. During the 2016 election
campaign, Gidwitz was the Trump campaign's Illinois finance chair. The heating
and cooling company, which had sales of more than $100 million last year, got a $5.5 million loan at 1% interest. That’s much larger
than the typical PPP loan, which is usually just over $200,000.

Trump: New York AG ‘Deliberately
Mischaracterizing’ $2 Million Settlement ‘For Political Purposes’
President Donald Trump accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of “deliberately
mischaracterizing” the details of a $2 million settlement reached on Thursday.
New York Judge Saliann Scarpulla ruled that Trump must pay $2 million as part of a settlement he, the Trump Foundation, and
James’s office reached in a lawsuit alleging Trump misused his charitable
foundation during the 2016 campaign.
Scarpulla said Trump let his campaign hold a foundation
fundraiser in January 2016 and used it “to further Mr. Trump’s political
campaign.”
The foundation received $2.8 million from the fundraiser and
the money “did ultimately reach their intended destinations, i.e., charitable
organizations supporting veterans,” Scarpulla ruled.
Instead of the entire $2.8 million that James’s office
pushed for, Scarpulla ordered Trump to pay $2 million. She also declined a
statutory penalty of $5.2 million that James’s office wanted the president to
pay.
James celebrated the ruling on Wednesday.
“We’ve secured a court order forcing President Trump to pay
$2M in damages after admitting to illegally using the Trump Foundation to help
him intervene in the 2016 presidential election and further his own political
interests. No one is above the law,” she said in a statement.
In another statement, she wrote, “The court’s decision,
together with the settlements we negotiated, are a major victory in our efforts
to protect charitable assets and hold accountable those who would abuse
charities for personal gain. My office will continue to fight for
accountability because no one is above the law—not a businessman, not a
candidate for office, and not even the President of the United States.”
