Millions of Americans remain jobless, but all want full-time jobs, even as President Joe Biden’s administration seeks to flood to United States labor market with foreign competition via more legal immigration and an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.

The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data reveals that 17.1 million Americans are jobless — 10.1 million underemployed and another seven million who are out of the labor force entirely — but all want full-time jobs with competitive wages and good benefits.

Of those 10.1 million unemployed Americans, 1.5 million are teenagers, 930,00 are black Americans, 870,000 are Hispanics, 666,600 are Asian Americans, and 576,000 are white Americans. About 3.5 million of those unemployed are permanent job losers.

Another group of Americans, six million, remain underemployed mostly due to the Chinese coronavirus crisis that has spurred states to issue selective economic lockdowns that have shuttered small and medium-sized businesses while multinational corporations have thrived.

“These individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part-time because their hours had been reduced or they were unable to find full-time jobs,” the monthly BLS report notes.

The hardships of the crisis, though not evenly spread, have been devastating for millions. In January, for instance, nearly 15 million Americans said they were unable to work because their employer closed or lost business as a result of the crisis.

Even as there remains a mass unemployment problem, the Biden administration — with support from the big business lobby — is seeking to pack the U.S. labor market with millions of foreign workers whom Americans will be forced to compete against.

Biden has proposed an amnesty bill that would legalize most of the 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. The majority of those newly legalized illegal aliens would be allowed to immediately begin competing for jobs against Americans. Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have proposed a similar amnesty that would legalize millions of illegal aliens who are enrolled and eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The Biden amnesty plan would also increase legal immigration levels beyond the 1.2 million green cards that are awarded and the 1.4 million visas given out to foreign nationals annually.

Likewise, Biden has eliminated the Remain in Mexico policy, restarted Catch and Release, and sought to halt deportations of illegal aliens. The policies, combined, ensure that federal immigration officials are forced to release border crossers into the U.S. and that already-present illegal aliens are prevented from being arrested, detained, and deported.

The amnesty would legalize at least two million illegal aliens, allowing them to enter the U.S. workforce and compete against Americans for jobs, while costing taxpayers about $26 billion, according to an analysis by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR).

The Koch’s network of donor class organizations and the United States Chamber of Commerce are lobbying senators to help pass Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) amnesty plan for millions of illegal aliens.

This week, Durbin and Graham reintroduced their “DREAM Act” legislation, which would ensure that millions of illegal aliens who meet minimal educational and criminal background check standards are given green cards and eventually American citizenship.

The amnesty would legalize at least two million illegal aliens, allowing them to enter the U.S. workforce and compete against Americans for jobs, while costing taxpayers about $26 billion, according to an analysis by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR).

Previous analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that such an amnesty would put more U.S. citizen children of illegal aliens — commonly referred to as “anchor babies” — on welfare. Additionally, about one-in-five of the amnestied illegal aliens would end up on food stamps while at least one-in-seven would go on Medicaid.

Despite a mass unemployment crisis, in which more than 17 million Americans remain jobless, the Koch network and the Chamber of Commerce are urging senators to sign onto the amnesty.

“We applaud Senators Durbin and Graham for reintroducing the Dream Act today,” the Chamber’s Neil Bradley wrote in a statement:

Dreamers were brought here to the U.S. as children, which is the only country they know as home. They are our neighbors, our classmates, and our coworkers. They contribute to their communities and the companies where they work; some have even started their own businesses.

Permanent protection for Dreamers is long-overdue and should become law without delay. Providing Dreamers with an opportunity to earn permanent legal status and U.S. citizenship will benefit our economy, strengthen our communities, improve our national security, and is simply the right thing to do.

The Libre Initiative, one of a handful of Koch-funded groups, praised Durbin and Graham for introducing the amnesty.

“Sens. [Lindsey Graham and Dick Durbin]’s work of uniting in favor of a permanent solution for Dreamers is a critical step forward,” the group wrote in a post online. “We urge other Senators to engage in dialogue to address this topic.”

The amnesty, as well as President Joe Biden’s more expansive amnesty plan for the entire illegal alien population, faces tremendous roadblocks in the Senate. This week, for instance, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) poured cold water on any kind of amnesty plan.

Increasing legal immigration levels and delivering an amnesty for illegal aliens to permanently stay in the U.S. has been a longtime priority of the big business lobby, Wall Street, Big Tech, and other corporate interests. A flooded labor market helps reduce U.S. wages, allowing businesses to cut labor costs, increase profit margins, and tip the scales of the economy to their demands.

Research by the Center for Immigration Studies’ Steven Camarota reveals that for every one percent increase in the immigrant portion of an American workers’ occupation, Americans’ weekly wages are cut by perhaps 0.5 percent. This means the average native-born American worker today has his weekly wages reduced by potentially 8.75 percent as more than 17 percent of the workforce is foreign-born.

Current immigration levels put downward pressure on U.S. wages while redistributing about $500 billion in wealth away from America’s working and middle class and towards employers and new arrivals, research by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine has found.

Economist George Borjas has detailed how the country’s working class, those without a high school diploma, have been primarily hurt by current immigration levels.

“The typical high school dropout earns about $25,000 annually,” Borjas wrote for Politico in October 2016. “According to census data, immigrants admitted in the past two decades lacking a high school diploma have increased the size of the low-skilled workforce by roughly 25 percent. As a result, the earnings of this particularly vulnerable group dropped by between $800 and $1,500 each year.”

Every year, about 1.2 million legal immigrants are awarded green cards to permanently resettle in the U.S. and eventually apply for citizenship. In addition, another 1.4 million visas are given out annually to foreign nationals to take U.S. jobs while 11 to 22 million illegal aliens currently live in the country.

oe Biden Puts Americans in the Dark by Revoking Ability to Reject Refugee Dumping in Their Communities

U.S. President Joe Biden signed an executive order Thursday that denies state and local governments any authority to reject the drop-off of refugees into their towns and communities.

In essence, former President Donald Trump’s policy (Executive Order 13888 of September 2019) gave state and local governments a say in whether they have the capacity to provide refugees a pathway to become self-sufficient and successfully integrate into American society.

Biden’s new executive order (EO) indicated that the federal government would consult with American communities across the country about refugees’ resettlement.

The president’s “Executive Order on Rebuilding and Enhancing Programs to Resettle Refugees and Planning for the Impact of Climate Change on Migration” noted:

Through the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP), the Federal Government, cooperating with private partners and American citizens in communities across the country, demonstrates the generosity and core values of our Nation, while benefiting from the many contributions that refugees make to our country.

However, with the stroke of a pen Thursday, Biden revoked Trump’s Executive Order 13888 that enhanced state and local involvement in refugees’ resettlement within their jurisdiction.

Biden’s order does ask the secretaries of state and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide the president with a report within 90 days from Thursday that “shall include recommendations regarding whether” Trump’s executive order “should be maintained, reversed, or modified.”

The report must also describe “all agency actions, including memoranda or guidance documents, that were taken or issued in reliance on or in furtherance of the directives revoked.”

It appears unlikely the Biden administration will reverse course on canceling Trump’s EO on state and local governments’ involvement in refugee settlements within their jurisdictions.

Legal advocacy groups, such as the New York-based International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP), welcomed Biden’s new policy on refugees’ resettlement. IRAP has opposed Trump’s immigration policies in the past.

"Today’s order represents an important first step towards rebuilding the refugee program… we at IRAP applaud the administration’s efforts to improve the integrity and equity of the program."https://t.co/VzWjyGDaL0 https://t.co/3e8phd9r6u

Some Democrat lawmakers had urged Biden to craft a refugee policy like the one outlined in the president’s new executive order.

Breitbart’s Neil Munro pointed out that Trump’s refugee policy from September 2019 gave states, cities, counties, and towns the legal power to stop groups from dumping foreign refugees into their communities, adding:

The policy will allow residents to block the stealthy efforts by refugee resettlement groups to direct new refugees into communities which are selected by local elites. This refugee dumping is usually done at the request of local employers, such as slaughterhouses, that want new workers to replace ones who quit because of low wages, harsh conditions, and health hazards.

During the Trump-era, Munro noted, refugee resettlement groups were forced to lay off workers amid the reduced inflow of refugees and federal funding.

Those groups denounced the former president’s refugee policy.

“The policy requiring the approval of Americans before refugee drop-offs was described as ‘more bad news’ by HIAS, a group which gets paid to move refugees into U.S. communities,” Munro wrote.

HIAS applauded Biden’s new executive order on America’s refugee policy.
