THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, OPERATING IN COLLUSION WITH THE 'CHEAP' LABOR GOP AND U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, HAS ENABLED AND ABETTED MEXICO'S INVASION BY HANDING THE INVADERS 100's OF BILLIONS IN WELFARE, A MASSIVE TAX-FREE UNDERGROUND ECONOMY, 'FREE' MEDICAL AND ANYTHING ELSE THEY VOTE DEM FOR.
Many families in Third World Countries have large numbers of children. If, for argument sake 25 million illegal aliens were to participate in the Biden/Harris Amnesty and if the average alien has four children, we could witness an immediate influx of 100 million alien children enter the United States! MICHAEL CUTLER... REMEMBER THAT EVERY ILLEGAL HANDED AMNESTY WOULD BE ENTITLED TO LEGALLY BRING UP THE REST OF MEXICO!
Biden has also not proposed a cut-off date for any such amnesty, meaning that a wave of aliens could seek to enter illegally up to (and perhaps after) the implementation of any amnesty, to take advantage of those benefits.

If a Joe Biden administration passes another amnesty for illegals, it's all over
By Shama Tobin
An election can bring change. No, an election can bring a radical change.
In December 1998, Venezuela turned toward socialism by electing Hugo Chávez president. Captivated by his anti-corruption and anti-poverty populist messages, Venezuelan voters handed Chávez a resounding victory with 17% margin. Little did they know that their votes would lead to the beginning of a long and miserable journey to the destruction of their country.
Twenty years later:
- Venezuela is one of most corrupt countries in the world, ranked 176 out of 180 countries.
- Nearly 90 percent of Venezuelans live in poverty.
- GDP per capita dropped by 38%, from $4,121 in 1999 to $2,547 in 2019.
- The inflation rate skyrocketed, from 24% to 19,990%.
- The richest 10% had 61% of the nation's wealth, up from 36% in 1999.
- Over four million Venezuelans, around 13 percent of the country's population, had flown out of the country.
This election can also bring a radical change to America. Already during the last presidential debate, Joe Biden stated that "within 100 days, I'm going to send to the United States Congress a pathway to citizenship for over 11 million undocumented people."
This election could give Democrats control of the Senate and the House. And just as Obamacare was signed into law about 14 months after Obama got elected in 2008 and the Democratic Party remained in control of both houses, if Biden wins and the Democrats control both houses, an amnesty for 11 million illegal aliens could become law within the next two years. If that happens, it will be the beginning of a disheartening journey to America's destruction.
An overwhelming proportion of the 11 million newly legalized citizens could be new voters in 2024.
"We owe them," said Biden during the debate.
Translation: "We own them."
About 80% of the 11 million illegal aliens were from Mexico, Central America, and Asia. Traditionally, an average 67% of American citizens these regional groups voted Democrat. Given that the Democratic Party is the one that grants them their citizenship, it is entirely reasonable to assume that at least 80% of the newly legalized voters will vote Democrats in every future election.
Thus, with a stroke of a pen, the Democratic Party could immediately own about 8 million new voters. To put that into perspective, that is nearly 5.9% of total votes in the 2016 election.
This would create a permanent one-party rule in which Democrats would control both houses and the presidency. Many voters in this election may not realize it, but Trump could be the last Republican president in the foreseeable future.
The table below presents some of the critical states with their corresponding numbers of illegal aliens, the number of Senate seats currently held by the Republicans, the vote gaps in the last closely contested Senate races, and the vote gaps in the last presidential election.
An amnesty that will bring at least 80% of the illegal aliens into a loyal Democratic voting bloc will turn Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas from battleground or red states into solid blue states. The newly legalized Democratic voters will outnumber the vote gaps in the presidential election in those states. And there is no way for Republicans to ever win the White House again, at least for the foreseeable future.
The vote gaps in the last closely contested Senate races in those states were far less than the potential number of newly added Democratic voters. Hence, an amnesty will enable Democrats to easily flip at least nine Republican-held Senate seats in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas. This will ensure a Democrat-controlled Senate for years to come.
The Democratic Party will also be able to take control of the House and retain the majority without much trouble by winning more seats in Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and California. The latter has 2.2 million illegal aliens, the largest among all states. (ACCORDING TO CA ATTORNEY GENERAL, LA RAZA FASCIST AND M.E.Ch.A. SEPARATIST XAVIER BECERRA THERE ARE MORE THAN 10 MILLION ILLEGALS IN CA ALONE)
With the Democrats' inclination to pack the Supreme Court, the permanent one-party rule could turn the Court into the Democratic Party's arm and thus create absolute control of the three branches of American government.
It is not a secret that the Democrats want to turn America into a socialist country. That is evident with their plans on health care, energy, labor, and immigration. Some voters, especially the independents, may think this is far-fetched. But once an amnesty becomes law and subsequently turns millions of illegal aliens into Democratic voters, the Democratic Party could enact radical bills that would transform the country (WITH BIDEN’S AMNESTY, 40 MILLION ILLEGALS WILL BE ABLE TO LEGALLY BRING UP THE REST OF MEXICO. DEM POS LIKE BIDEN AND CLINTON HAVE LONG ADVOCATED CHAIN MIGRATION TO FLOOD AMERICA WITH MEX FLAG WAVING DEM VOTERS)
Chávez, and later his successor, Nicolás Maduro, managed to control Venezuela through essentially a permanent one-party rule via the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). As Venezuela has shown, socialism imposed with absolute power is a quick recipe for a disastrous nation. Thus, the Democratic Party's socialism agenda, combined with a permanent control of the government, could wreak havoc in America.
Obama once said, "Elections have consequences." Indeed, Americans may need to thoughtfully ponder before casting their votes for a long and painful journey to the destruction of their country.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S BILLIONAIRES’ GLOBALIST EMPIRE requires someone as ruthlessly dishonest as Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama to be puppet dictators.

Donald Trump Sidelines Immigration Economics in 2020 Campaign
SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images
24 Oct 20201
16:01
Donald Trump’s populist immigration agenda was central to his 2016 triumph — but he has not focused on the economic impact of immigration in his 2020 reelection bid despite the huge economic damage it is doing to blue-collar and white-collar Americans, say immigration activists.
Instead, Trump in 2020 portrays immigration via social-issue concerns over crime, welfare spending, border integrity, and the federal government’s inability to get things done. For example, Trump’s August 28 acceptance speech downplayed the money:
Today America’s borders are more secure than ever before.
We ended catch and release, stopped asylum fraud, took down human traffickers who prey on women and children, and we have deported 20,000 gang members and 500,000 criminal aliens. We have already built 300 miles of border wall, and we are adding ten new miles every single week. The wall will soon be complete, and it is working beyond our wildest expectations.
“I don’t think he’s walking away from populism — he probably is convinced that he has done a huge amount,” said Rosemary Jenks, policy director at NumbersUSA. “He signed the executive orders [that blocked border migration]. He’s building the wall. … We have more [migrant] caravans trying to get to our border, but the Mexican government is stopping them, and that would not be happening in a [Joe] Biden administration.”
Ken Cuccinelli, the acting deputy at the Department of Homeland Security, is championing Trump’s 2020 campaign. “Immigration isn’t just about the rule of law; it is also about the opportunity for Americans to get jobs that otherwise go to other people — and this president has zeroed in on that problem,” Cuccinelli told Tucker Carlson October 22. “When COVID did hit and unemployment spiked, he also in June, as you’ll recall, stopped the entry of temporary foreign workers so Americans can get back to work in opening up job slots first.”
Yet the populist jobs-and-wages aspect of immigration is almost entirely absent from Trump’s 2020 campaign pitch, even in the critical swing states of Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
Many polls show that job competition is the populist sweet-spot angle in immigration politics.
Most Americans — of all colors and incomes — feel they should welcome migrants, even illegal migrants or corporate outsourcing workers. But the polls also show that lopsided majorities strongly prefer that jobs and wages go to Americans before companies are allowed to import and hire migrants.
In October, Rasmussen Reports posted polling data showing the public’s lopsided preference for higher wages over extra immigrants. The poll asked likely voters, “When businesses say they are having trouble finding Americans to take jobs in construction, manufacturing, hospitality, and other service work, what is generally best for the country?”
Sixty-four percent of likely voters said it would be “better for businesses to raise the pay and try harder to recruit non-working Americans even if it causes prices to rise.” Just 20 percent said it would be “better for the government to bring in new foreign workers to help keep business costs and prices down.”
The crosstabs show the 3:1 electoral power of immigration seen as a jobs issue: 55 percent of liberals support more foreign workers, and 73 percent of conservatives favor hiring Americans. Swing-voting “others” split 63 percent in favor of Americans and 19 percent in favor of foreign workers, in part because the pocketbook question complements the public’s widespread desire to be decent and fair towards racial minorities.
This populist focus is underlined by the coronavirus crash — and the Rasmussen poll also shows it is very popular among the many white-collar, middle-class, swing-voting men and women that Trump needs to win in 2020.
Trump is a businessman who understands how the supply of labor is related to wages.
He also knows that a politically useful share of voters really hates the H-1B outsourcing visa. In 2016, he promised to shrivel the H-1B program, and, finally, in late 2020, he announced strong— but legally vulnerable — rules to reduce the inflow of visa workers. He also staged an August press conference to show himself saving roughly 200 Americans’ jobs from H-1B outsourcing by the CEO of the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Partly because of Trump’s lower-immigration policies, household incomes rose by seven percent in 2019, aided by a 2.5 percent growth in median personal income. That growth has helped him win more support among younger Hispanics and African Americans and among his base of working-class white Americans. For example, Trump won strong applause at an October 13 rally in Pennsylvania when he said, “in 2017, I proudly signed a historic executive order, making it official government policy to buy American and hire American.”
Estb. media focuses on blue-collars in swing-state Penn., but Trump set himself up to win many white-collars who fear losing their careers to Fortune 500 outsourcing of jobs to India's myriad visa workers.
But his estb. advisors may block the play.#H1B https://t.co/414qSMw7N8

But Trump the politician also knows that business groups, donors, and investors really want more of the immigrants and visa workers who provide them with cheap, compliant, stock-boosting labor. “In perhaps no area did the Washington special interests try harder to stop us than on my policy of pro-American immigration,” Trump said in his August 28 acceptance speech.
Trump’s 2020 reluctance to mention the money in immigration was underlined by his response in an exchange over amnesty during the October 22 presidential debate.
Trump talked about how his energy policy has helped raise wages for black and Latino Americans, how his tax policy has boosted Americans’ 401K accounts, how minimum wages should be tuned to each state’s economy. But Trump ignored the issue of wages when Joe Biden said Americans owe an amnesty to at least 11 million illegal migrants:
Biden: Many of them are model citizens. Over 20,000 of them are first responders out there taking care of people during this crisis. We owe them, we owe them
Trump: He had eight years to do what he said he was going to do and I’ve …. got rid of catch and release, we got rid of a lot of horrible things that they put in and that they lived with but he had eight years he was vice president … It just shows that he has no understanding of immigration or the laws. Catch and release is a disaster, a murderer would come in, a rapist would come in, a very bad person would come in. We would take their name, we have to release them into our country and then you say they come back. Less than 1 percent of the people come back.
At an October 15 town hall event, Trump was asked what he would do to help the roughly 700,000 younger illegals who got work permits from President Barack Obama’s 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty.
He repeated his support for the illegals. “We’re going to take care of ‘dreamers.’ It’s working right now; we’re negotiating different aspects of immigration and immigration law,” as he zig-zagged through his pro-migration and anti-migration worldview.
Trump zagged towards disease, crime, chaos, borders, and foreigners:
We’ve built now over 400 miles of border wall on the southern border. Mexico is working very closely with us. We have the strongest border we’ve ever had. … Mexico is heavily infected, as you know, and we’ve made it very, very difficult to come in because of the pandemic and other reasons, and crime. But we have a very strong border right now, and we have to keep it that way … The fact is we got rid of catch-and-release [at the border], which is a disaster. You know, if you catch somebody — they could be a murderer, they could be a rapist — I was forced to release them into our country. These are the laws that I inherite!. We ended that program.
Trump’s comments were a mirror-image of Democrats’ don’t-mention-the-money insistence that the U.S. is a nation of immigrants, that diversity is strength, and that equality is threatened by xenophobia and racism.
Yet Trump also zigged towards orderly, managed, clean, high-quality migration:
We want people to come into our country. They have to come in legally, but we are working very hard on the DACA program. And you will be — I think — very happy over the course of the next year because I feel the same way as you do. … But we want people to come into our country. But they have to come through a merit system, and they have to come in legally, and people are very, very happy with it. You haven’t heard any complaints about that.
In reality, there are many loud complaints in many states about the damage done by white-collar “merit” migration, said Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. Tech Workers. “Everyone knows what is going with immigration — the good, the bad, and the ugly,” said Lynn.
“The large-scale importation of these routine [H-1B] tech workers has a harmful effect on American workers, and the president is not alone in not appreciating that,” said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “This is one area of immigration where the president’s views are completely consistent with those of the swamp.”
“The president thinks that white-collar immigration is perfectly okay and nobody he knows is against it, even though he’s got supporters who are concerned about it. He only talks about it in very narrow contexts. [For example], he imagines that the H-1B replacement of American workers is some kind of aberration that doesn’t need to happen if everybody follows the rules, when in fact that’s not the case. … He sees the issue of the TVA [in 2020] and the Disney tech workers [in 2016] as special cases, as mistakes, as exceptions to a positive phenomenon rather than examples of a real problem.”
“The president is not an immigration restrictionist,” Krikorian said. “I don’t think this is a casual thing that he doesn’t care about and can be easily swayed out of. I think that he has internalized the lobbyists’ malarkey that [immigration and visa workers are] necessary for American economic growth and progress. I am skeptical that anything is going to talk him out of it, as if somebody from Goldman Sachs had called him up and say, ‘Hey Donnie, this is what we’re going to do.’”
For the political and corporate elites who mix with Trump, “it is [a belief that] is just in the air, just an assumption that they all share; it is part of the zeitgeist, not some specific policy recommendation that they’re demanding that he follow,” Krikorian said.
Other observers offer a less charitable explanation for Trump’s mixture of visceral opposition to illegal, uncontrolled migration and his establishment-like acceptance of controlled migration.
Trump thinks many of his supporters oppose migration for racial reasons, says author and reporter Salena Zito. “Voters don’t hold the racial resentments and fears Trump seems to think they do … [but] Trump seems to think his base is racist. Forget the fact that the media thinks they are, Trump campaigns as if they are,” she wrote in 2018.
“Despite mocking academia and the media as biased, the president seems to have fully bought into their [racist] caricature of the Republican voter,” said Musa al-Gharbi, a non-progressive professor at Columbia University. “He keeps giving his voters what he thinks is red meat, and [middle-class whites] continue to recoil in horror and abandon him for it.”
“Trump campaigns like a Manhattan liberal[‘s] parody of a conservative,” said Jane Coaston, a reporter at Vox.com.
A similar view is pushed by Todd Schulte, the director of FWD.us, a pro-migration advocacy group funded by wealthy, West Coast investors, “I’ve spent a few years saying this, but there is just near-constant and overwhelming evidence that his signature issue of 2016–anti-immigrant demagoguery—has been a huge drag for 3 years,” Schulte tweeted October 11. Schulte declined to comment about the political power of an immigration message focused on jobs and wages.
Other administration appointees are trying to keep immigration economics out of the 2020 race — especially any criticism of white-collar migration via the J-1, H-1B, OPT, L-1 worker pipelines that keep at least 1.3 million cheap and compliant foreign workers in U.S. Fortune 500 jobs. This quiet group wants to build a high-low coalition of billionaires and blue-collars, so it keeps Trump far from polling data or the policy options that would guide him to win more votes from blue-collar minorities and white-collar suburbanites voters, reformers tell Breitbart News.
The inflow of India's visa-workers creates a huge 'bonded labor' workforce that empowers Fortune 500 CEOs & shrivels professionalism, say US/India tech-professionals.
"We’ve lost our competitive, innovative advantage because of it," says US manager. #H1Bhttps://t.co/EgkcLsf4Xm
— Neil Munro (@NeilMunroDC) May 21, 2020
And the establishment media does little or nothing to show Americans the economic impact of immigration, said Lynn. “There is no pressure being brought on Trump to look at broader immigration issues,” he said.
“The media listen to the corporations that buy their advertising,” Lynn said. “The reporters know what will and what won’t get published. It is only the stray article that speaks to the economic impact of unbridled immigration, to the impact of displacing native workers because of the non-immigration visa programs.” Instead, the vast majority of media coverage is about migrants’ and employers’ interests, not about Americans seeking jobs and wages.
Without public pressure, “events are pretty much on autopilot, which means more immigration and more displacement of Americans and more offshoring [of jobs].”
Trump’s reluctance to focus on economics is pressuring reformers to make alternative appeals.
For now, reformers — aided by a growing number of activist white-collar professionals — are assembling the evidence to show the variety of damage caused by the visa-worker pipelines.
These pipelines undermine U.S. innovation, threaten Americans’ economic and healthcare privacy, cause workplace discrimination, fatten coastal states, impoverish inland states, distort university enrollment, shrink the domestic supply of skilled labor, expand illegal immigration, displace American healthcare graduates, create new labor markets where Americans cannot get jobs, threaten free speech online, and deny vital opportunities to young American graduates of all backgrounds and colors.
Yet Trump can be persuaded to focus on the economic impact of migration on Americans because he “responds to what he feels pressure on,” said Lynn. For example, Trump improved his NAFTA-replacement deal with Mexico and Canada when left-of-center unions pressured him, he said.
After a careful online ad campaign that spotlighted the huge salary paid to the Tennessee Valley Authority’s CEO, Trump also intervened to save 200 Americans’ jobs in one tiny corner of the vast 600,000-job H-1B outsourcing program. He touted that paycheck-politics success in his White House speech announcing his acceptance of the GOP nomination:
When I learned that the Tennessee Valley Authority laid off [200] hundreds of American workers and forced them to train their lower-paid foreign replacements, I promptly removed the chairman of the board, and now those talented American workers have been rehired and are back providing power to Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Virginia. They have their old jobs back, and some are here with us this evening.
“I think that they should be shouting that from the rafters,” said Lynn. “But, they’re not.”
If Trump touts the immigration-economics policies that avoid racial conflicts and help blue-collar and white-collar employees, Lynn said, “he could own labor … [and] he would win this election handily.”
Trump curbs the #H1B outsourcing program with two agency rules raising pay & shrinking the staffing industry.
Expect lamentations & lawsuits from the Fortune 500 and subcontractors.
It's all about CEOs vs professionals, not about immigration. https://t.co/kdVaJJT9Cs

Trump vs. Biden: Amnesty
Both favor it, neither says it, but the difference is between 1.8 million aliens or 11 million (-plus?)
Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have come out in support of an amnesty for some number of illegal aliens in the United States — although neither has admitted as much.
- As part of his January 2018 "Framework on Immigration Reform & Border Security", the president proposed an amnesty for 1.8 million aliens who are DACA recipients and aliens who would otherwise be DACA eligible except for the temporal constraints on that administrative action. In exchange, the president sought several key reforms in our legal immigration system. Congress has failed to act on Trump's proposals.
- Biden, on the other hand, has promised to work with Congress on an amnesty leading to citizenship for nearly 11 million aliens unlawfully present in the United States on his campaign website, with few strings attached.
- Pursuant to his plan, those aliens would have to register, pay any taxes due, and pass a background check. Given the fact that the former vice president has promised a 100-day moratorium on removals at the start of his term, and to deport only aliens who have committed felonies in the United States thereafter, it is doubtful that the unspecified background check would bar many aliens who are currently removable on criminal grounds.
- A companion campaign document — the "Biden-Sanders Unity Taskforce Recommendations" — is less clear with respect to that amnesty, suggesting that the Biden-Harris administration would at least initially grant an administrative amnesty to aliens unlawfully present in the United States before seeking legislation to formally legalize those nearly 11 million aliens.
- Given the former vice president's statements, and his vow to curb immigration enforcement if elected, it is possible that Biden could institute a de facto amnesty of the vast majority of aliens illegally present in the United States, even before implementing any administrative or legislative one.
- Left unclear is whether the Biden administration would limit any amnesty to "nearly 11 million" illegal aliens, or whether it would ultimately apply to a larger number, assuming that there were more such aliens in the United States. In Thursday’s debate, he raised the number to "over 11 million", without setting a ceiling. Nor has Biden proposed a cut-off date for any such amnesty, meaning that a wave of aliens could seek to enter illegally up to (and perhaps after) the implementation of that amnesty, to take advantage of those benefits.
As I have been examining the respective immigration positions of the two candidates for president — the incumbent Donald Trump and the challenger Joe Biden — one major point that I have thus far not addressed directly is amnesty. Both Trump and Biden have proposed it (not directly, of course, as it is a program that dare not speak its name), the former on a "limited" basis of 1.8 million aliens, while the latter has promised it for upwards of 11 million (and likely many more).
Amnesty Generally
"Experts" will give you different definitions of amnesty, but here is the one that counts: The granting of immigration benefits (residency, work authorization, and possibly access to government benefits) to any alien removable under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) who is not otherwise eligible for relief from removal.
Those experts and their respective candidates will elide the subject, and contend that any program that grants those benefits is not amnesty if it comes with strings attached: Paying back taxes, paying a "penalty" (or what you would refer to as a "fee"), background checks, and coming forward to apply.
Respectfully, this is all eye wash.
Every individual in the United States is required to pay any number of taxes, including sales tax, state and federal income taxes, property tax, Social Security and Medicare taxes (included in the "payroll tax"), etc. These are not optional.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in 1927 explained that "[t]axes are what we pay for civilized society." He was echoing former President James Madison, who stated: "The power of taxing people and their property is essential to the very existence of government." So paying taxes is the baseline for everyone — citizen, national, and alien — and not a penalty, even if you have failed to do it.
Of course, millions of people file federal tax returns, but actually pay no tax (or receive back more than they have paid) — by one estimate more than 43 percent of all filers. This is a "feature, not a bug" of our tax system. "By design, the federal income tax always has excluded a significant fraction of households through a combination of personal exemptions, the standard deduction, zero bracket amounts, and more recently, tax credits."
In 2016, Market Watch explained: "On average, those in the bottom 40% of the income spectrum end up getting money from the government." Most aliens who have entered the United States illegally, and those nonimmigrants who entered legally and overstayed, are likely to fall within that 40 percent. As my colleague Steven Camarota explained in 2017:
Researchers agree that illegal immigrants overwhelmingly have modest levels of education — most have not completed high school or have only a high school education. There is also agreement that immigrants with this level of education are a significant net fiscal drain, creating more in costs for government than they pay in taxes.
As for a cash "penalty" for amnesty, those aliens here illegally have (in almost every instance) evaded the many fees that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) charges to provide immigration benefits (including status) to aliens. Applying for a green card will run you $1,225, for example. Not to mention skipping the visa fees charged by the Department of State to enter as a nonimmigrant if you entered illegally to begin with. Requiring payment in exchange for amnesty does little more than place aliens in a position that would have occupied had they not broken the law.
A requirement that an amnesty applicant have a clean criminal record should require no explanation, except of course it does. If you run afoul of the law (federal, state, or municipal) you are sanctioned with a fine and/or jail time. That is because you have an obligation to obey the law, and the state has an opportunity to punish you if you don't.
I say "except of course it does" because the number of crimes that will get you removed from the United States (listed in sections 212 and 237 of the INA) is actually quite limited. You would be surprised what aliens can get away with criminally and remain in good standing from an immigration standpoint.
Of course, the most recent administrative amnesty (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or "DACA"), isn't even as strict as the INA when it comes to criminal bars. Specifically, an alien can be granted DACA so long as he or she has "not been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor, or three or more other misdemeanors."
"Significant misdemeanors" are limited to "an offense of domestic violence; sexual abuse or exploitation; burglary; unlawful possession or use of a firearm; drug distribution or trafficking; or, driving under the influence", or one for which the alien was sentenced to 90 days or more (if the sentence is suspended, even the latter doesn't count).
But under section 212 of the INA, for example, simple possession (usually a misdemeanor) will get you removed, although you can still get DACA, no problem. In fact, USCIS reported in 2018 that: "Of those individuals whose DACA requests were approved and had one or more arrests or apprehensions, 53,792 were arrested or apprehended prior to their most recent approval." Remember all of this the next time someone refers to DACA recipients as "law-abiding".
Trump's Position
Speaking of DACA, in January 2018, the White House released its "Framework on Immigration Reform & Border Security". Don't look for the word "amnesty" therein, but the president promised to: "Provide legal status for DACA recipients and other DACA-eligible illegal immigrants, adjusting the time-frame to encompass a total population of approximately 1.8 million individuals." My colleague Jessica Vaughan, on the other hand, referred to that as what it is: "amnesty", with a "10-year path to citizenship."
Considering the fact that, as of August 2018, there were just short of 700,000 DACA recipients, this meant that the president was offering that amnesty to an additional 1.1 million aliens who had not yet received the ersatz DACA amnesty.
Of course, as Vaughan and I both explained at the time, there were many important immigration fixes in Trump's framework, so it would have required a significant amount of give-and-take from Congress for the administration to grant that amnesty. Congress failed to take the bait, however, despite the president's extremely generous offer.
More recently (last October), the president stated that Congress would act on a bipartisan basis to protect DACA recipients if the Supreme Court allowed the administration to end DACA. The Supreme Court refused to allow DHS to end DACA (yet), so there is no incentive for Congress to act, and it has failed to do so.
If re-elected, I have no doubt that the president would push through on his January 2018 framework, and grant the promised amnesty to those 1.8 million aliens in exchange for at least some of the immigration fixes therein. And, if the courts allow DHS to wind-down DACA, that would provide him with a platform to do so.
Biden's Position
As I have previously explained, the former vice-president's immigration proposals are threaded through two separate documents: "The Biden Plan for Securing our Values as a Nation of Immigrants" (which features prominently on the candidate's website); and the "Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations". In addition, Biden mentioned his amnesty plans in Thursday’s presidential debate.
Biden pulls no punches when it comes to his amnesty plans (although again, you will not find that forbidden word in either document and he did not use it in the debate.
First, he promises on his website to work with Congress to "[c]reate[] a roadmap to citizenship for" almost 11 million "unauthorized immigrants" in the United States. Of course, they would have to register for that amnesty, be "up-to-date on their taxes", and pass "a background check" — the parameters of which he fails to define, but, as I will explain below, would likely be significantly less stringent than the grounds of removability in sections 212 and 237 of the INA.
The "Unity" document is similar, but a bit broader in its scope and more ambiguous in its operation. It states that Democrats will "provide a roadmap to citizenship for the millions of undocumented workers", fast-tracking that process "for those workers who have been essential to the pandemic response and recovery efforts, including healthcare workers, farmworkers, and others."
Notably absent from that statement is "working with Congress", or any legislative proposal to provide that amnesty. It is a notable omission in this context because that document does state that Democrats will: "Work with Congress to eliminate immigration barriers, such as the 3- and 10-year bars, and remove the 10-year waiting period for waivers to the permanent bars that keep U.S. citizens separated from their families."
Like Supreme Court Justice nominee Amy Coney Barrett, I am a "textualist" and believe that the differences in that carefully crafted document between the amnesty promise and the "immigration barriers" proposal is deliberate. Anticipate an administrative amnesty first, followed (possibly) by a legislative one second.
This is not the first time I have made this point. On August 12, in a post captioned "With Choice of Kamala Harris, Biden's Immigration Plans Become Clearer", I explained that I expect the Biden-Harris administration will use a procedure called "Parole in Place" (PIP) to grant immigration benefits (including work authorization) to those "nearly 11 million" unauthorized immigrants fairly quickly through executive action.
What would that administrative amnesty look like? Well, as for the criminal grounds of removal, the former vice president has already vowed that he will not remove any aliens in his first 100 days in office, and after that, only those who have committed (unspecified) "felonies" (not including DUI, which Biden does not believe is a felony, presumably even when it is) in the United States.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but taken at his word, that means Biden would not deport an alien who committed an offense abroad — no matter how heinous. Child molesters, murderers, and narco-traffickers will get a free pass, so long as their offenses occurred abroad.
And, again, there are plenty of offenses that are not classified as "felonies" (regardless of how you define it) that will get you removed from the United States under the INA. But not if Biden gets his way.
Not that Biden would even need to bother drafting a PIP proposal to protect those aliens, as the former vice president has asserted that he will fire any ICE officer who deports an alien who has not committed a felony in this country. In his words: "You change the culture by saying you are going to get fired. You are fired if, in fact, you do that. You only arrest for the purpose of dealing with a felony that's committed."
Again, respectfully, it is not only the culture at ICE that would be "changed" under that sweeping proposal.
Of course, all of this raises two additional questions.
First, what happens if the population of "unauthorized immigrants" is larger than "nearly 11 million"? I note that in addressing the issue in Thursday’s debate, he vowed to send legislation to Congress in his first 100 days in office creating “a pathway to citizenship for over 11 million undocumented people” (emphasis added), so he has obviously expanded his plans.
Given this, will there be a cut-off? Given Biden's expressed distaste for immigration enforcement, I cannot envision how there would be, or even that it would make much difference anyway. Coupled with his promises to defang worksite enforcement, there would be no impetus for any alien who did not make any arbitrary cut-off to leave.
Second, what about "unauthorized immigrants" who enter illegally or overstay between now and the end of Biden's 100-day moratorium on removals, or even the point at which amnesty is announced or implemented? Would they also be eligible for amnesty (legislative, administrative, or through non-enforcement)? Most amnesties have a cut-off (to prevent a wave of new illegal entrants), but nowhere in either of Biden's campaign documents is one mentioned, let alone listed.
Once more, I have to conclude that this omission is deliberate. But, if it is, Border Patrol agents and CBP officers at the ports would be left doing nothing more than patting down migrants for drugs and weapons, and sending them on their way. Plus, we might as well fire our State Department consular staff — unless we needed them to check whether a foreign national abroad has committed a felony in the United States.
Biden has likely learned from DACA. That was intended as a temporary administrative action, pending legislation to grant benefits to DACA recipients. The subsequent legislation has never been passed, but (as Trump's statements show) support for it has grown as nearly 700,000 aliens have been shielded by that program. By granting an indefinite administrative amnesty to millions of aliens in the United States, Biden would be better positioned to push through a much broader legislative amnesty.
Summary
Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have come out in support of an amnesty for some number of illegal aliens in the United States — although neither has admitted as much.
As part of his January 2018 "Framework on Immigration Reform & Border Security", the president proposed an amnesty for 1.8 million aliens who are DACA recipients and those who would otherwise be DACA-eligible, except for the temporal constraints on that administrative action. In exchange, the president sought several key reforms in our legal immigration system. Congress has failed to act on Trump's proposals.
Biden, on the other hand, has promised to work with Congress on an amnesty leading to citizenship for nearly 11 million aliens unlawfully present in the United States on his campaign website, with few strings attached.
Pursuant to his plan, those aliens would have to register, pay any taxes due, and pass a background check. Given the fact that the former vice president has promised a 100-day moratorium on removals at the start of his term, and to deport only aliens who have committed felonies in the United States thereafter, it is doubtful that the unspecified background check would bar many — if not most — criminal aliens.
A companion campaign document — the "Biden-Sanders Unity Taskforce Recommendations" — is less clear with respect to that amnesty, suggesting that the Biden-Harris administration would at least initially grant an administrative amnesty to aliens unlawfully present in the United States before seeking legislation to legalize those nearly 11 million aliens.
Given the former vice president's statements, and his vow to curb immigration enforcement if elected, it is possible that Biden could institute a de facto amnesty of the vast majority of aliens illegally present in the United States, even before implementing any administrative or legislative one.
Left unclear is whether the Biden administration would limit any amnesty to "nearly 11 million" illegal aliens, or whether it would ultimately apply to a larger number — assuming that there were more such aliens in the United States. Biden has also not proposed a cut-off date for any such amnesty, meaning that a wave of aliens could seek to enter illegally up to (and perhaps after) the implementation of any amnesty, to take advantage of those benefits.

the average alien has four children, we could witness an immediate influx
of 100 million alien children enter the United States! MICHAEL

functionally illiterate and lacking in employable skills. STEVE

As
convention wisdom has it, nearly three million illegals live in California, but the true
figure is doubtless much higher. In a legal challenge to the measure, California attorney

Biden’s
'Build Back Better' is Bunk
Dems' plans to import tens of millions of immigrant children prove
it.
Fri Oct 9, 2020
Despite
the optimistic campaign slogan “Build Back Better,” in reality, Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris and their Radical Leftist political cohorts are waging a war
against America and Americans because they know that For Dems to Succeed,
Americans Must Fail.
Not
unlike most politicians, Biden and Harris promise that if they are elected they
will create tens of millions of high-paying jobs.
Of
course they won’t tell you how they would create those jobs other than to make
some vague statements about how the “Green New Deal” would create jobs as
buildings, including houses, will have to be retrofitted to meet the new
environmental standards that will be imposed on landlords across the U.S.
They
never say who would pay for retrofitting those buildings or what would happen
if the owners of the properties are unable to come up with the funding to
modify their structures. (Would such property owners have the property
confiscated by the Biden administration? No one is discussing this disturbing
possibility.)
Meanwhile,
Biden and Harris state that if elected they would defund the Border Patrol, ICE
(Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and decriminalize nearly every violation
of our immigration laws including unlawful entry and re-entry and, presumably,
immigration fraud.
Biden
and Harris also insist, as did Hillary Clinton during her unsuccessful run for
the Presidency inn 2016, that they would immediately create a massive
legalization program for what they estimate are 11 million illegal aliens who
are already present in the United States and place them on a path to U.S.
citizenship.
That 11 million figure has been claimed by supposed journalists
for more than a decade.
It
has, however, been estimated that the number of illegal aliens who could
be a population of more than 25 millions illegal aliens. I believe that
even that number is much smaller than he actual number of aliens who would
participate. Back in 1985 the Reagan Amnesty that was part and parcel of
the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 was supposed to provide roughly
one million illegal aliens with lawful status. In reality the final
number was between 3.5 million and 4 million.
I
addressed this issue in my recent article, Comprehensive
Immigration Reform Should be Renamed the “Overwhelm America Act" in
which I noted that on September 21, 2018 Yale University reported Yale Study Finds Twice
as Many Undocumented Immigrants as Previous Estimates.
That report, published just over two years ago noted:
BLOG EDITOR: THE TRUE NUMBERS OF ILLEGALS IN U.S. OPEN BORDERS
IS LIKELY TO EXCEED 40 MILLION. CALIFORNIA'S LA RAZA SUPREMACISTY ATTORNEY
GENERAL XAVIER BECERRA SAYS THERE ARE 10 MILLION IN CA ALONE. NOW DO THE MATH!
Using
mathematical modeling on a range of demographic and immigration operations
data, the researchers estimate there are 22.1 million undocumented immigrants
in the United States.
However, as large as the number of illegal aliens who would be
eligible to participate in such an ill-conceived program, the ultimate number
of aliens who would be provided with lawful status would, in reality, be
a multiple of
the number of illegal aliens who are present in the United States.
This
is because each and every legalized alien would immediately have the absolute
right to immediately petition to have their spouses and all of their minor
children to be lawfully admitted to the United States.
Many
families in Third World Countries have large numbers of children. If, for
argument sake 25 million illegal aliens were to participate in the Biden/Harris
Amnesty and if the average alien has four children, we could witness an
immediate influx of 100 million alien children enter the
United States!
One
of the key issues for the Radical Left is the environment.
Every
person in the United States has an ecological and economic footprint.
Each person needs more than a place to sleep. They all need water, food,
electricity, sewerage, transportation and healthcare.
As
roads and transportation and infrastructure become overwhelmed, traffic will
grind to a halt while pollution from cars, busses and trucks spew into the
atmosphere. There are parts of the country that experience droughts and
electrical brownouts. How would this massive influx of immigrants impact
these struggling systems?
These
tens of millions of immigrant children will all need to attend schools in the
United States. In 2007, nearly 14 years ago, the Congressional Budget
Office published a paper, The Impact of
Unauthorized Immigrants on the Budgets of State and Local Governments
That report estimated that there were about 12 million illegal aliens present in
the United States at the time the report was published. It also noted
that it costs 20% to 40% more to educate children who lack English language
proficiency.
How
sustainable would this situation be?
Now
consider that among the proposals for Biden/Harris is that everyone in the
United Stats, regardless of immigration status would be entitled to free health
care and free college education.
How
would our government cover the huge expenses that this would cost?
How
would hospitals be able to treat all of these people? There are
communities today that already lack adequate health care facilities and
capabilities. Imagine how long the waiting lines in emergency rooms would
stretch as seriously ill patients from around the world would flood these
emergency rooms.
Add
to this is Biden and Harris’ stated goal of creating immigration anarchy, with
the promise of free health care would turn our entire country into the world’s
ER!
America
would become a magnate for the world’s sick. Our immigration laws make no
distinction about race, religion or ethnicity.
8 U.S. Code § 1182 -
Inadmissible aliens enumerates the categories of aliens
who are to be excluded. Among these classes of aliens who are to be prevented
from entering the United States are aliens who suffer from dangerous
communicable, diseases or extreme mental illness.
Additionally,
convicted felons, human rights violators, war criminals, terrorists and spies
are to be excluded as well as aliens who would seek unlawful employment thus
displacing American workers or driving down the wages of American workers who
are similarly employed and aliens who would likely become public charges.
Without
enforcement the concerns about the entry of aliens with dangerous communicable
diseases will go unaddressed. Aliens from around the world who suffer
from such dangerous communicable diseases would head for the United States to
seek free treatment.
This
could and would likely lead to multiple epidemics of dangerous diseases in the
United States.
Hasn’t
the COVID-19 Pandemic from China taught Biden or Harris anything?
The loss of secure borders that would result from the
Biden/Harris immigration policies would leave America vulnerable to narcotics,
transnational gangs and terrorists. The 9/11 Commission. to which I
provided testimony, identified multiple failures of the immigration system as
being directly responsible for the ability of terrorists, and not only 9/11
hijacker terrorists, to enter the United States and embed themselves as they
went about their deadly preparations.
Under
the massive Biden/Harris amnesty program, national security would be
irreparably undermined. Because of the huge number of illegal aliens who
could apply for lawful status, in-person interviews could not be conducted and
field investigation would be out of the question. Adjudications officers
would have to make quick decisions based nearly entirely on the information
provided in the applications for legalization. This program would suffer
from massive fraud and the 9/11 Commission, to which I provided testimony,
identified immigration fraud as the key method of entry and embedding for
international terrorists. This issue was the predication and my focus in
my extensive article, Immigration Fraud:
Lies That Kill.
The
obvious question that has never been asked of candidates for the President or
other significant elected offices since the terror attacks of September 11,
2001 is, “Have you read the 9/11 Commission Report and
the companion report that was prepared by the 9/11 Commission staff, 9/11 and Terrorist
Travel?”
Recently
we have seen where the weapon of choice for terrorists is not airliners but
motor vehicles. Yet Democrat-run states such as New York State not only
provides illegal aliens with driver’s licenses, but New York State Blocks
ICE and Border Patrol Access to DMV Database.
Finally,
let us go back to the issue of those amazing jobs Mr. Biden claims he would
provide for millions of struggling Americans. In some of his campaign
ads Biden speaks so wistfully about his father telling him when he was a boy
that jobs not only provide money but dignity and a sense of purpose.
Of
course that statement about the significance of jobs is accurate.
Extremely accurate.
However-
with no secure borders and a massive influx of tens of millions of immigrant
children who will quickly become adults and flood the labor pool, the
Biden/Harris immigration policies would drive down wages and force hapless
Americans to compete with tens of millions of foreign born workers for those
ever so important jobs.
Barack Obama promised “shovel ready jobs” and now Biden has come
up with a “shovel ready” job, shoveling the BS that he and Kamala spew when
they make promises that are nothing but bald-faced lies that would irrevocably
alter America- and not for the better!
Trump Campaign: Democrats Give
Housing to Illegal Migrants, Penalizing Black Americans

President Donald Trump’s campaign used the issue of
illegal immigration on Thursday to seek votes from working-class blacks.
A short video released by the Trump
campaign Twitter account highlighted the president’s record on improving public
housing in New York and other cities.
“My name is Judy Smith,” said one black
woman, who continued:
I live in New York City public
housing. I’m grateful for the spotlight that President Trump is putting on
New York City public housing. I think it’s wrong that the Democrats put illegal
immigrants before black Americans. How is it that we have people waiting on the
waiting lists for New York City public housing for 10 years or more, but yet we
have illegal immigrants living here? Something is wrong with that picture.

The comments were likely aimed at
working-class blacks in many swing states, including several Midwest states.
“Working-class African Americans are
significantly more supportive of policies that seek to: decrease the number of
immigrants coming to the United States, increase the federal role in verifying
the employment status of immigrants, and attempts to amend the Constitution’s
citizenship provisions,” said a 2013 peer-reviewed study by Tatishe Nteta,
a professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. The study continued:
For African Americans who lost a job to
an immigrant, working-class membership resulted in a 13 percentage point
increase in the probability of support for an increased federal role in
workplace oversight [against employment of illegal immigrants] when compared to
middle-class African Americans who experienced a similar loss.
Numerous polls show that blacks — like all other
groups — say they wish to welcome migrants, but strongly prefer that Americans get jobs before
companies import more migrants.
Nationwide, the expanded supply of new
migrants also cuts Americans’ disposable wages by inflating their housing costs. That reality is recognized by investor groups who are urging more immigration.
For example, the Economic Innovation Group says, “The relationship between population
growth and housing demand is clear. More people means more demand for housing,
and fewer people means less demand.”
Mike Bloomberg’s pro-migration advocacy
group, New American Economy, pushed the same argument:
The research shows that an increase in
the absolute number of immigrants in a particular county from 2000–2010 results
in corresponding economic gains—increased demand for locally produced goods and
services, a corresponding inflow of U.S.-born individuals—that are reflected in
the housing market.
The video also included comments from
other blacks in New York:
My name is Manuel Martinez … Under the
Trump administration, New York City Housing Authority has received an influx of
cash that it has not seen since 1997.
My name is Claudia Perez I’m the
resident council president of Washington Houses, which is in Spanish Harlem.
[New York Mayor] Bill de Blasio and the way he has dealt with public housing
residents is disgraceful. President Trump administration has opened their
ears and has listened … [and] is bringing real solutions to real problems.
The video ends with the claim, “More
Funding: Better Housing: Promise Made: Promise Kept.”
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

Another line they cut into:
Illegals get free public housing as impoverished Americans wait
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 expense of California taxpayers.
California’s budget earmarks millions of
dollars annually to the One California program, which provides free legal
assistance to all aliens, including those facing deportation, and makes
California’s public universities easier for illegal-alien students to attend.
According to the
Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers 2017 report, for the estimated
12.5 million illegal immigrants living in the country, the resulting cost is
a $116 billion burden on the national economy and taxpayers each
year, after deducting the $19 billion in taxes paid by some of those illegal
immigrants.
