Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has testified
before a Congressional committee that in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants

Angeles’s largest street gang, the 18th Street gang, were illegal aliens.

That Only Amnesty and Illegals Can Save America

The United States’ complex economy cannot recover from the
coronavirus crash without an amnesty for at least 11 million illegals,
including the stoop labor in the fields, according to an article that was
written, posted, and touted by advocates for billionaires.
The pro-amnesty article said:
Our economic recovery from
the pandemic is entirely reliant on providing a pathway to citizenship for the
11 million undocumented people currently living in the US. There’s no way
forward without doing right by the undocumented individuals who are keeping all Americans alive as our
country continues to combat the coronavirus crisis.
“It’s not just economic gibberish — it is demeaning to Americans,” responded Mark Krikorian,
director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
He added, “I don’t even know if that’s the way they mean it because they’re just lobbyists saying whatever they think is going to promote their issue. But it really does come across that way and, to use the cliche: This is why you got Trump.”
In reality, prosperity for
ordinary Americans rose rapidly in Trump’s lower-migration economy, without any
amnesty. Bloomberg reported October 30:
In 2016, real median household
income was $62,898, just $257 above its level in 1999. Over the next three
years it grew almost $6,000, to $68,703. That’s perhaps why, despite the
pandemic, 56% of U.S. voters
polled last month said their families were better off today than they were four
years ago.
The pro-amnesty article’s author is Alida Garcia. She works for
Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us group as a director of coalitions and policy.
Zuckerberg’s group was created to pass the 2013 “Gang of Eight” amnesty that
would have transferred even
more wealth from wage earners to investors. The founding members and donors include many
wealthy investors, such as Eric Schmidt, the former chief of Google, and Greg
Penner, the chairman of Walmart.
FWD.us is now chaired by David Plouffe, a Zuckerberg advisor who also
seems to have played a critical role in spiking urban turnout for
Biden in several states.
FWD.us director Todd Schulte
touted Garcia’s claim as a
“really important OpEd.”
FWD.us supports multiple
campaigns to get cheap labor for investors.
For example, the group funded the p.r. campaign that
got the Supreme Court to block Trump’s cancellation of President Barack Obama’s
award of work permits to roughly 800,000 illegal
migrants under the “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” amnesty.
The Garcia article was posted by the Milken Institute, run by
Michael Milkin. He earned a fortune — plus a 10-year jail sentence and a
$600 million fine — while working on Wall Street.
The Milken Institute also
touts cheap-labor migration into
the United States and Europe. For example,
Garcia’s article calls for an economy powered by immigrant workers and
consumers, not by Americans, their children, and their work:
We should transform our
immigration system fundamentally … Immigration can power the next century of
American moral leadership,
not just economic leadership.
…
We need individuals to be
able to come to the US to contribute across a wide array of industries and
skill levels, helping to infuse our country with talent, creativity, and innovative
energy from all over the world.
The article
comes as the billionaire groups prepare a 2020 blitz to shove a cheap labor
bill through the House and Senate.
The push will
likely showcase attractive young illegals while hiding the economic transfer in
complexity and push polls. The lobbyists will also try to get their
wealth-shifting measure through the legislative via a series of complex and
obscure bills that will likely be ignored by the legacy media.
Garcia’s
billionaire-boosted article is “opportunism secure in the knowledge that they
won’t be mocked by legacy media figures … [so] they don’t realize when
they verge into the preposterous,” Krikorian said. He added, “The legacy elite
shares their perspective so that they’re not going to mock them the way they
deserve to be mocked …. There’s nobody at their shop or even anyone that they
talk to or interact with that would tell them, ‘This is comical; why don’t you
dial it back just a little bit?'”
But the
article is also “a continuation of the idea that Americans are inadequate …
that without immigration, we can’t function,” said Krikorian. It is “insulting
to everybody who’s not an illegal alien [to claim] that a vast continental
nation with a third of a billion people can’t function without a few million
illegal immigrants.”
The idea is
also embedded in the establishment’s post-1950s insistence that the United
States is only a “nation of immigrants,”
instead of a nation of and for Americans.
Overall,
open-ended migration is praised by business and progressives partly because
migrants help transfer massive
wealth from American wage-earners to stockholders.
Migration moves money from
employees to employers, from families
to investors, from young to old, from children to their parents, from homebuyers to real
estate investors, and from the central states to
the coastal states.
Migration also allows investors and CEOs to skimp on labor-saving technology, sideline U.S. minorities, ignore disabled people, exploit stoop labor in the fields, shortchange labor in the cities, impose tight control and pay cuts on American professionals, corral technological innovation by minimizing the employment of American graduates, undermine labor rights, and redirect progressive journalists to cheerlead for Wall
Street’s priorities and claims.
Progressives romanticize stoop labor as vibrantly diverse agriculture.
That condescension is great for companies b/c it perfumes their $$-decision to
not buy labor-saving & clean machines.
Gov't should incentivize US mechanization over #H2a migration.https://t.co/tPbAhMaSKS

Michelle Malkin: There
Is NO American Worker Shortage
Earlier, by Michelle
Malkin: A Day Without American
Tech Workers
"We're full, our system's full, our country's full!" That was President Donald Trump last year at our southern
border.
"Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on
foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American
families." That was Trump in January 2017 at his inaugural address.
"The influx of foreign workers holds down salaries, keeps
unemployment high, and makes it difficult... to earn a middle class wage."
That was presidential candidate Trump in 2016.
Contrast those clarion "America First" statements with
the apparent hysteria of Trump's current acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, who was
caught on tape telling a private audience of elites in
England last week: "We are desperate—desperate—for more people. We are
running out of people to fuel the economic growth that we've had in our nation
over the last four years. We need more immigrants."
Mulvaney reportedly went on to push for "expanding"
merit- and employment-based immigration to fill all the high-skilled jobs that
Americans purportedly aren't capable of filling. By how much, for how long, in
which visa categories and under what conditions this "expansion"
should happen, Mulvaney is not reported to have detailed. (He will be featured
at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday morning. It would be nice if someone asked him
to elaborate, wouldn't it?)
"Running out of people" is typical Beltway swamp talk
from a big business lobbyist trafficking in open borders "Chicken
Little" alarmism. Has Mulvaney opened a newspaper or browsed the internet
in the last 10 years? How about the last week? Over a 48-hour period, I compiled a Twitter thread of more than 50 stories of tens of thousands of recent
U.S. worker layoffs in tech and other high-skilled industries. Among the U.S.
corporations and institutions responsible for laying off, replacing, offshoring, and outsourcing tens of thousands of
American jobs:
Wayfair, TripAdvisor, LogMeIn,
Inc., Zume Pizza, VMWare, Shutterfly, Intel, Comcast, Xilinx, 23andMe,
NortonLifeLock, AT&T, Macy's, Walgreens, Uber, Lyft, UCSF Medical Center, Baptist
Health, Sysco, WeWork, American Family Insurance, Tennessee Valley Authority, Amway,
UPS subsidiary Coyote Logistics, Comcast, Lime, Bird, Unicorn, Getaround,
Cerner, Oracle, Samsung US, Edmunds.com, Textron Aviation, Morgan Stanley,
Spirit AeroSystems, Mozilla, UiPath, Plexus, Cisco, Ancestry.com, Clover Health,
State Street Corporation, Anthem, Transamerica, Verizon, MassMutual, Disney, Carnival, Abbott Labs,
EmblemHealth, Harley Davidson, Cargill, Eversource Energy, Best Buy, Southern California Edison and Qualcomm.
The most recent entry in my U.S. worker layoffs thread came in
Monday from Expedia, which announced it is laying off 12% of its information
technology workforce (roughly 3,000), including 500 employees at its Seattle
headquarters. Tip of the iceberg. As leading American workers' employment attorney and Protect US Workers advocate Sara Blackwell (right)
points out, "so many companies are able to conduct this awful business
model under the radar." And they
get away with it because it's legal, workers are silenced, and most Americans
"just do not care because it does not yet touch them personally."
Do we "need more immigrants," as
Mulvaney claims? Marie Larson, an American mom who founded the American Workers Coalition with Barbara Birch and Hilarie Gamm, told me: "I talk
to Americans almost daily who are being discriminated against, who keep getting
laid off by Indian managers, who have
to train their foreign replacements to get the much-needed severance packages,
who have to pull kids out of college because they can't afford it, even having
to sell their houses. These are STEM workers, who got
the 'right' degrees and did everything they were supposed to do, only to have
our government turn their back and sell out to big businesses push for even
more H-1Bs." Tech firms cut 64,166 American jobs in 2019, up
351% from 14,230 in 2018.
Are we so "desperate" for more bodies to "fuel economic
growth?" Let's recap the demographic math: We live in a nation of 330
million, 44 million of whom are foreign-born. Upward of 30 million immigrants
are currently living, working and going to school here illegally. One million
new legal immigrants are granted green cards every year. An estimated 600,000
temporary worker visas are issued annually, including the H-1B, H-2A, H-2B and H-4 programs. That doesn't
include spousal visas or the more than half a million foreign
"students" now working through the stealth guest worker plan known as
the Optional Practical Training program, which allows foreign students to work
with little monitoring, no wage protections, no payment of Social Security payroll taxes and no requirement for employers to demonstrate labor
market shortages.
"We" ordinary Americans don't need more immigrants.
Corporations (and their trusty house organ, the Wall Street Journal) want higher profits, lower wages, and endless pipelines
of cheap foreign labor. They've
been cooking up manufactured worker shortage crises since World War II and crying apocalypse since the 1980s,
when the National Science Foundation's Erich Bloch hyped a STEM
shortage based on groundless projections to crusade for agency budget increases.
Remember: The only persistent tech worker shortage in America is
a shortage of workers at the wage employers want to pay. Beltway swampers
gnashing their teeth over barren American worker recruitment pools are full of
it.

La Raza Welfare State of California
A fifth-generation Californian
laments his state’s ongoing economic collapse.
By Steve Baldwin
American Spectator
What’s clear is that the producers are leaving the state and the takers
are coming in. Many of the takers are illegal aliens, now estimated to number
over 2.6 million (BLOG: THE NUMBER IS CLOSER TO 15 MILLION ILLEGALS). The
Federation for American Immigration Reform estimates that California spends $22
billion (DATED: NOW ABOUT $35 BILLION YEARLY AND THAT IS ON THE STATE LEVEL
ONLY. COUNTIES PAY OUT MORE) on government services for illegal aliens,
including welfare, education, Medicaid, and criminal justice system costs.
Liberals
claim they more than make that up with taxes paid, but that’s simply not true.
It’s not even close. FAIR estimates illegal aliens in California contribute
only $1.21 billion in tax revenue, which means they cost California $20.6
billion, or at least $1,800 per household.
Nonetheless, open border advocates, such as Facebook Chairman Mark Zuckerberg,
claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to California with little evidence to
support such an assertion. As the Center for Immigration Studies has
documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few
skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting
them access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If
illegal aliens were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way,
California, with its 2.6 million illegal aliens, would be booming.
Furthermore, the complexion of illegal aliens
has changed with far more on welfare and committing crimes than those who
entered the country in the 1980s. Heather Mac Donald of
the Manhattan Institute has testified before a Congressional committee that in
2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles were for
illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail inmates were
illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest street gang, the
18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. Granted, those
statistics are old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement officer,
they will tell you it’s much worse today. The problem is that the Brown
administration will not release any statewide data on illegal alien crimes.
That would be insensitive. And now that California has declared itself a
“sanctuary state,” there is little doubt this sends a message south of the
border that will further escalate illegal immigration into the state.
"If the racist "Sensenbrenner Legislation" passes the US
Senate, there is no doubt that a massive civil disobedience movement will
emerge. Eventually labor union power can merge with the immigrant civil rights
and "Immigrant Sanctuary" movements to enable us to either
form a new political party or to do heavy duty reforming of the existing
Democratic Party. The next and final steps would follow and that is to elect
our own governors of all the states within Aztlan."
Indeed, California goes out of its way to
attract illegal aliens. The state has even created government programs that
cater exclusively to illegal aliens. For example, the State Department of Motor
Vehicles has offices that only process driver licenses for illegal aliens. With
over a million illegal aliens now driving in California, the state felt
compelled to help them avoid the long lines the rest of us must endure at the
DMV. And just recently, the state-funded University
of California system announced it will spend $27 million on financial aid for
illegal aliens. They’ve even taken out radio spots on stations
all along the border, just to make sure other potential illegal border crossers
hear about this program. I can’t afford college
education for all my four sons, but my taxes will pay for illegals to get a
college education.

billion (DATED: NOW ABOUT $35 BILLION YEARLY AND THAT IS ON THE STATE LEVEL
ONLY. COUNTIES PAY OUT MORE) on government services for illegal aliens,
including welfare, education, Medicaid, and criminal justice system costs.
Liberals
claim they more than make that up with taxes paid, but that’s simply not true.
It’s not even close. FAIR estimates illegal aliens in California contribute
only $1.21 billion in tax revenue, which means they cost California $20.6
billion, or at least $1,800 per household.
Nonetheless, open border advocates, such as Facebook Chairman Mark Zuckerberg,
claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to California with little evidence to
support such an assertion. As the Center for Immigration Studies has
documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few
skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting
them access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If
illegal aliens were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way,
California, with its 2.6 million illegal aliens, would be booming.
Furthermore, the complexion of illegal aliens
has changed with far more on welfare and committing crimes than those who
entered the country in the 1980s. Heather Mac Donald of
the Manhattan Institute has testified before a Congressional committee that in
2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles were for
illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail inmates were
illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest street gang, the
18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. Granted, those
statistics are old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement officer,
they will tell you it’s much worse today. The problem is that the Brown
administration will not release any statewide data on illegal alien crimes.
That would be insensitive. And now that California has declared itself a
“sanctuary state,” there is little doubt this sends a message south of the
border that will further escalate illegal immigration into the state.
"If the racist "Sensenbrenner Legislation" passes the US
Senate, there is no doubt that a massive civil disobedience movement will
emerge. Eventually labor union power can merge with the immigrant civil rights
and "Immigrant Sanctuary" movements to enable us to either
form a new political party or to do heavy duty reforming of the existing
Democratic Party. The next and final steps would follow and that is to elect
our own governors of all the states within Aztlan."
Indeed, California goes out of its way to
attract illegal aliens. The state has even created government programs that
cater exclusively to illegal aliens. For example, the State Department of Motor
Vehicles has offices that only process driver licenses for illegal aliens. With
over a million illegal aliens now driving in California, the state felt
compelled to help them avoid the long lines the rest of us must endure at the
DMV. And just recently, the state-funded University
of California system announced it will spend $27 million on financial aid for
illegal aliens. They’ve even taken out radio spots on stations
all along the border, just to make sure other potential illegal border crossers
hear about this program. I can’t afford college
education for all my four sons, but my taxes will pay for illegals to get a
college education.
DO THE MATH! ALL BILLIONAIRES ARE DEMOCRATS. ALL BILLIONAIRES WANT OPEN BORDERS. ALL DEMOCRATS WANT GLOBALIST TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED.

Analysis conducted last year reveal that 71 percent of tech workers in Silicon Valley are foreign-born, while the tech industry in the San Francisco, Oakland, and Hayward area is made up of 50 percent foreign-born tech workers.

with representing us in Congress will never be exposed to the
cost of the invasion of millions of migrants. They have nothing
but contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences
of our communities being intruded upon by gang members, drug
dealers and human traffickers. These people have no intention
of becoming Americans; like the Democrats who welcome them, they have
contempt for us." PATRICIA

“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.

Billionaires Back Claim That Only Amnesty and Illegals Can Save America

The United States’ complex economy cannot recover from the
coronavirus crash without an amnesty for at least 11 million illegals,
including the stoop labor in the fields, according to an article that was
written, posted, and touted by advocates for billionaires.
The pro-amnesty article said:
Our economic recovery from
the pandemic is entirely reliant on providing a pathway to citizenship for the
11 million undocumented people currently living in the US. There’s no way
forward without doing right by the undocumented individuals who are keeping all Americans alive as our
country continues to combat the coronavirus crisis.
“It’s not just economic gibberish — it is demeaning to Americans,” responded Mark Krikorian,
director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
He added, “I don’t even know if that’s the way they mean it because they’re just lobbyists saying whatever they think is going to promote their issue. But it really does come across that way and, to use the cliche: This is why you got Trump.”
In reality, prosperity for
ordinary Americans rose rapidly in Trump’s lower-migration economy, without any
amnesty. Bloomberg reported October 30:
In 2016, real median household
income was $62,898, just $257 above its level in 1999. Over the next three
years it grew almost $6,000, to $68,703. That’s perhaps why, despite the
pandemic, 56% of U.S. voters
polled last month said their families were better off today than they were four
years ago.
The pro-amnesty article’s author is Alida Garcia. She works for
Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us group as a director of coalitions and policy.
Zuckerberg’s group was created to pass the 2013 “Gang of Eight” amnesty that
would have transferred even
more wealth from wage earners to investors. The founding members and donors include many
wealthy investors, such as Eric Schmidt, the former chief of Google, and Greg
Penner, the chairman of Walmart.
FWD.us is now chaired by David Plouffe, a Zuckerberg advisor who also
seems to have played a critical role in spiking urban turnout for
Biden in several states.
FWD.us director Todd Schulte
touted Garcia’s claim as a
“really important OpEd.”
FWD.us supports multiple
campaigns to get cheap labor for investors.
For example, the group funded the p.r. campaign that
got the Supreme Court to block Trump’s cancellation of President Barack Obama’s
award of work permits to roughly 800,000 illegal
migrants under the “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” amnesty.
The Garcia article was posted by the Milken Institute, run by
Michael Milkin. He earned a fortune — plus a 10-year jail sentence and a
$600 million fine — while working on Wall Street.
The Milken Institute also
touts cheap-labor migration into
the United States and Europe. For example,
Garcia’s article calls for an economy powered by immigrant workers and
consumers, not by Americans, their children, and their work:
We should transform our
immigration system fundamentally … Immigration can power the next century of
American moral leadership,
not just economic leadership.
…
We need individuals to be
able to come to the US to contribute across a wide array of industries and
skill levels, helping to infuse our country with talent, creativity, and innovative
energy from all over the world.
The article
comes as the billionaire groups prepare a 2020 blitz to shove a cheap labor
bill through the House and Senate.
The push will
likely showcase attractive young illegals while hiding the economic transfer in
complexity and push polls. The lobbyists will also try to get their
wealth-shifting measure through the legislative via a series of complex and
obscure bills that will likely be ignored by the legacy media.
Garcia’s
billionaire-boosted article is “opportunism secure in the knowledge that they
won’t be mocked by legacy media figures … [so] they don’t realize when
they verge into the preposterous,” Krikorian said. He added, “The legacy elite
shares their perspective so that they’re not going to mock them the way they
deserve to be mocked …. There’s nobody at their shop or even anyone that they
talk to or interact with that would tell them, ‘This is comical; why don’t you
dial it back just a little bit?'”
But the
article is also “a continuation of the idea that Americans are inadequate …
that without immigration, we can’t function,” said Krikorian. It is “insulting
to everybody who’s not an illegal alien [to claim] that a vast continental
nation with a third of a billion people can’t function without a few million
illegal immigrants.”
The idea is
also embedded in the establishment’s post-1950s insistence that the United
States is only a “nation of immigrants,”
instead of a nation of and for Americans.
Overall,
open-ended migration is praised by business and progressives partly because
migrants help transfer massive
wealth from American wage-earners to stockholders.
Migration moves money from
employees to employers, from families
to investors, from young to old, from children to their parents, from homebuyers to real
estate investors, and from the central states to
the coastal states.
Migration also allows investors and CEOs to skimp on labor-saving technology, sideline U.S. minorities, ignore disabled people, exploit stoop labor in the fields, shortchange labor in the cities, impose tight control and pay cuts on American professionals, corral technological innovation by minimizing the employment of American graduates, undermine labor rights, and redirect progressive journalists to cheerlead for Wall
Street’s priorities and claims.
Progressives romanticize stoop labor as vibrantly diverse agriculture.
That condescension is great for companies b/c it perfumes their $$-decision to
not buy labor-saving & clean machines.
Gov't should incentivize US mechanization over #H2a migration.https://t.co/tPbAhMaSKS

Michelle Malkin: There
Is NO American Worker Shortage
Earlier, by Michelle
Malkin: A Day Without American
Tech Workers
"We're full, our system's full, our country's full!" That was President Donald Trump last year at our southern
border.
"Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on
foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American
families." That was Trump in January 2017 at his inaugural address.
"The influx of foreign workers holds down salaries, keeps
unemployment high, and makes it difficult... to earn a middle class wage."
That was presidential candidate Trump in 2016.
Contrast those clarion "America First" statements with
the apparent hysteria of Trump's current acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, who was
caught on tape telling a private audience of elites in
England last week: "We are desperate—desperate—for more people. We are
running out of people to fuel the economic growth that we've had in our nation
over the last four years. We need more immigrants."
Mulvaney reportedly went on to push for "expanding"
merit- and employment-based immigration to fill all the high-skilled jobs that
Americans purportedly aren't capable of filling. By how much, for how long, in
which visa categories and under what conditions this "expansion"
should happen, Mulvaney is not reported to have detailed. (He will be featured
at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday morning. It would be nice if someone asked him
to elaborate, wouldn't it?)
"Running out of people" is typical Beltway swamp talk
from a big business lobbyist trafficking in open borders "Chicken
Little" alarmism. Has Mulvaney opened a newspaper or browsed the internet
in the last 10 years? How about the last week? Over a 48-hour period, I compiled a Twitter thread of more than 50 stories of tens of thousands of recent
U.S. worker layoffs in tech and other high-skilled industries. Among the U.S.
corporations and institutions responsible for laying off, replacing, offshoring, and outsourcing tens of thousands of
American jobs:
Wayfair, TripAdvisor, LogMeIn,
Inc., Zume Pizza, VMWare, Shutterfly, Intel, Comcast, Xilinx, 23andMe,
NortonLifeLock, AT&T, Macy's, Walgreens, Uber, Lyft, UCSF Medical Center, Baptist
Health, Sysco, WeWork, American Family Insurance, Tennessee Valley Authority, Amway,
UPS subsidiary Coyote Logistics, Comcast, Lime, Bird, Unicorn, Getaround,
Cerner, Oracle, Samsung US, Edmunds.com, Textron Aviation, Morgan Stanley,
Spirit AeroSystems, Mozilla, UiPath, Plexus, Cisco, Ancestry.com, Clover Health,
State Street Corporation, Anthem, Transamerica, Verizon, MassMutual, Disney, Carnival, Abbott Labs,
EmblemHealth, Harley Davidson, Cargill, Eversource Energy, Best Buy, Southern California Edison and Qualcomm.
The most recent entry in my U.S. worker layoffs thread came in
Monday from Expedia, which announced it is laying off 12% of its information
technology workforce (roughly 3,000), including 500 employees at its Seattle
headquarters. Tip of the iceberg. As leading American workers' employment attorney and Protect US Workers advocate Sara Blackwell (right)
points out, "so many companies are able to conduct this awful business
model under the radar." And they
get away with it because it's legal, workers are silenced, and most Americans
"just do not care because it does not yet touch them personally."
Do we "need more immigrants," as
Mulvaney claims? Marie Larson, an American mom who founded the American Workers Coalition with Barbara Birch and Hilarie Gamm, told me: "I talk
to Americans almost daily who are being discriminated against, who keep getting
laid off by Indian managers, who have
to train their foreign replacements to get the much-needed severance packages,
who have to pull kids out of college because they can't afford it, even having
to sell their houses. These are STEM workers, who got
the 'right' degrees and did everything they were supposed to do, only to have
our government turn their back and sell out to big businesses push for even
more H-1Bs." Tech firms cut 64,166 American jobs in 2019, up
351% from 14,230 in 2018.
Are we so "desperate" for more bodies to "fuel economic
growth?" Let's recap the demographic math: We live in a nation of 330
million, 44 million of whom are foreign-born. Upward of 30 million immigrants
are currently living, working and going to school here illegally. One million
new legal immigrants are granted green cards every year. An estimated 600,000
temporary worker visas are issued annually, including the H-1B, H-2A, H-2B and H-4 programs. That doesn't
include spousal visas or the more than half a million foreign
"students" now working through the stealth guest worker plan known as
the Optional Practical Training program, which allows foreign students to work
with little monitoring, no wage protections, no payment of Social Security payroll taxes and no requirement for employers to demonstrate labor
market shortages.
"We" ordinary Americans don't need more immigrants.
Corporations (and their trusty house organ, the Wall Street Journal) want higher profits, lower wages, and endless pipelines
of cheap foreign labor. They've
been cooking up manufactured worker shortage crises since World War II and crying apocalypse since the 1980s,
when the National Science Foundation's Erich Bloch hyped a STEM
shortage based on groundless projections to crusade for agency budget increases.
Remember: The only persistent tech worker shortage in America is
a shortage of workers at the wage employers want to pay. Beltway swampers
gnashing their teeth over barren American worker recruitment pools are full of
it.

La Raza Welfare State of California
A fifth-generation Californian
laments his state’s ongoing economic collapse.
By Steve Baldwin
American Spectator
What’s clear is that the producers are leaving the state and the takers
are coming in. Many of the takers are illegal aliens, now estimated to number
over 2.6 million (BLOG: THE NUMBER IS CLOSER TO 15 MILLION ILLEGALS). The
Federation for American Immigration Reform estimates that California spends $22
billion (DATED: NOW ABOUT $35 BILLION YEARLY AND THAT IS ON THE STATE LEVEL
ONLY. COUNTIES PAY OUT MORE) on government services for illegal aliens,
including welfare, education, Medicaid, and criminal justice system costs.
Liberals
