JOBLESS AMERICA WHILE JOE BIDEN SURRENDERS OUR BORDERS TO NARCOMEX
January Border Apprehensions Jump 157 Percent over Last Year as Biden Takes Office
The number of migrants apprehended by Border Patrol agents in January after illegally crossing the border from Mexico jumped by 157 percent over January 2020. The massive jump comes amidst the new Biden administration policies on border security and immigration enforcement.
Border Patrol agents arrested 75,198 migrants who illegally crossed the Mexican border into the U.S. between ports of entry in January, according to the January Southwest Border Migration Report released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection Wednesday night. This is up from 29,205 the year before. The apprehensions mark the highest January total since 2006 when agents took more than 101,000 migrants into custody.
“We continue to vigilantly perform our mission to secure our borders and enhance the nation’s economic prosperity by facilitating legitimate trade and travel,” CBP Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Commissioner Troy Miller emailed at 7 p.m Wednesday night. “While CBP continues to experience an increase in attempted monthly border crossings as seen since last April, the uptick seems to be occurring in a small fraction of locations across the southwest border, which is consistent with trends in years past.
Information reported Wednesday night paints a different picture. Single adult apprehensions jumped by triple-digit percentages in all nine southwest border sectors comparing January 20 to January 21 — 182 percent overall.
Likewise, the apprehension of Unaccompanied Alien Children also jumped in all nine southwest border sectors. The Del Rio and Big Bend Sectors witnessed triple-digit percentage increases. More significantly, the Rio Grande Valley sector, the nation’s busiest sector, jumped from 4,215 unaccompanied children to 7,295 — an increase of 73 percent.
January’s increase marks the ninth straight month of increased border apprehensions. The low point came in April 2020 when apprehensions fell to 17,104.
President Joe Biden’s abolishment of key migration controls during his first three weeks in office is receiving the most pushback from voters.
The latest Morning Consult poll — which surveyed nearly 2,000 registered voters and was conducted between February 5 and 7 with a margin of error of +/-2 percentage points — found that of the 28 executive orders signed by Biden at the time, voters least supported his revoking of controls at the United States-Mexico border and expansion of legal immigration levels.
The most unpopular order, Biden’s plan to increase refugee resettlement by 960 percent next year, is opposed by about 48 percent of voters and is supported by less than 4-in-10 voters. Roughly 52 percent of swing voters oppose the increase, as well as 76 percent of Republicans and even 24 percent of Democrats.
Likewise, Biden’s order that will count illegal aliens in the U.S. Census for the purpose of determining how many congressional seats each state receives is his second most unpopular. About 42 percent of voters said they oppose the order and 45 percent said they support it.
New from me: @MorningConsult has polled 28 executive actions issued by @POTUS since Jan. 20.
More than half of Biden’s most unpopular executive orders also include his suspension of the anti-fraud Remain in Mexico policy, which kept migrants in Mexico while they awaited their asylum hearings, the restart of immigration from terrorist-exporting countries, a halt on the construction of the border wall, and his ordering a review of immigration rules that protect taxpayers from having to foot the bill for social services for legal immigrants seeking green cards.
Each of the orders has less than half of voter support, except Biden’s halt to border wall construction, which 51 percent of voters said they support.
A weekly survey by Rasmussen Reports shows a major uptick in support for migration controls — that is, less legal immigration and stricter guidelines tackling illegal immigration — while more than 17 million Americans remain jobless.
The survey finds that “voters are looking for tighter immigration control from the incoming Biden administration.” The survey, which has been conducted every week since December 2019, indicates that now more than any time over the last two years, voters are the most supportive of decreasing overall immigration.
For instance, more than 70 percent said employers must be banned from hiring illegal aliens over Americans, 53 percent oppose amnesty for the illegal alien population of 11 to 22 million, 74 percent want legal immigration levels reduced to zero to one million annual admissions, and 61 percent said the U.S. does not need more H-1B foreign visa workers.

THE STAGGERING COST OF THE WELFARE STATE MEXICO AND THE LA RAZA SUPREMACY DEMOCRAT PARTY HAVE BUILT BORDER to OPEN BORDER’
According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s 2017 report, illegal immigrants, and their children, cost American taxpayers a net $116 billion annually -- roughly $7,000 per alien annually. While high, this number is not an outlier: a recent study by the Heritage Foundation found that low-skilled immigrants (including those here illegally) cost Americans trillions over the course of their lifetimes, and a study from the National Economics Editorial found that illegal immigration costs America over $140 billion annually. As it stands, illegal immigrants are a massive burden on American taxpayers.
Total Jobless Claims Jump Past 20 Million While Democrats Push Impeachment
The number of Americans receiving unemployment benefits for the week ended January 23 jumped 2.6 million to 20.4 million, data from the Labor Department showed Thursday.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Wednesday raised the alarm about the labor market, saying that the real unemployment rate was probably as high as 10 percent rather than the official 6.4 percent. He called for a “society-wide” effort to bring the labor market back to the strength it had pre-pandemic. Yet on the Democrat-controlled Capitol Hill, lawmakers this week have been focused on impeaching former President Donald Trump. The Biden White House’s pandemic relief proposal has been sidelined while the Senate trial continues.
There are 5.1 million Americans on regular state unemployment benefits. An additional 8.7 million are receiving benefits under the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program, which is available to freelancers and self-employed workers. Nearly 4.8 million are receiving benefits under the Pandemic Emergency program and 1.6 million under the extended benefits program.
A year ago, before the pandemic struck, there were just 2.2 million Americans receiving unemployment benefits.
