THE DOCTRINE OF THE N.A.F.T.A. GLOBALIST DEMOCRATS IS TO SERVE THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS WITH ENDLESS WAVES OF INVADING 'CHEAP' LABOR SUBSIDIZED WITH WELFARE FUNDED BY TAXES ON MIDDLE AMERICA.
In many speeches, Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elites’ opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.

THREAT TO THE AMERICAN WORKER - THE U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AT WORK
Chamber CEO to Congress: Import Workers for Us, Pay Them with Citizenship
The U.S. government should import foreign workers for home construction jobs and also pay them with shares of American citizenship, an industry executive demanded Wednesday at an advocacy event held by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
“We, right now, this year, need 430,000 workers [and] over the next couple years by 2023, we’re going to need probably another million,” said Michael Bellaman, the president and CEO of the Associated Builders and Contractors trade group. He continued:
We need a merit-based, market-based, rule-of-law worker visa system that provides the necessary opportunities for [foreign] people that want to work in the United States, as well as for our employers to take those trained [foreign] individuals that have spent three years [working] in their companies, with the opportunity to sponsor them to a pathway to citizenship, a legal form of status, something more permanent, that will be a value to our industry.
The demand is a deep betrayal of fellow Americans by the business interests, responded Roy Beck, the former journalist who founded NumbersUSA to oppose the outsourcing of jobs to migration.
“There’s an ethical bond that connects” Americans, he said, “but what people from George Bush, especially George W. Bush, on through President Biden have done — with some exception for President Trump — is to disconnect and basically free the elites of this country from any sense of ethical obligation to their fellow citizens.”
The betrayal is sharper because “construction jobs have become the great prize for Americans who don’t have a college education,” he said, adding:
A large percentage of the manufacturing jobs that created middle-class life have disappeared, but construction work remains. It can’t be shipped overseas. It’s the prize for our American workers who don’t have college degrees which by the way, two-thirds of Americans don’t have college degrees. So this idea is one that basically says, “The middle class belongs only to those who get a college degree,” and we’ve seen just one occupation after another [that] the robber barons of our age have decided they’re not going to let Americans have.
American workers have been hard hit by the eagerness of construction CEOs to hire low-wage crews of economic migrants. In March 2018, Breitbart News reported:
Blaine Taylor, the whistleblower, said the construction industry in California once offered a starting wage of about $45 an hour in the late 1980s. Fast-forward to 2018 — nearly two decades into when illegal aliens began flooding the industry — he now says that wages have fallen by more than half, standing at just $11 an hour.
Construction CEOs are now complaining they face a shortage of Americans who are willing to train for construction jobs. But that shortage is partly caused by Americans’ recognition that many construction CEOs will replace them as soon as they can find a cheaper migrant.
The current shortage of construction workers was created by President Donald Trump’s repeated rejections of business demands for more workers. That low-migration policy was a big shift from prior GOP presidents, including President George W. Bush, who pushed his “Any Willing Worker” plan to let companies hire foreigners whenever Americans rejected wages for being too low.
Bush is now campaigning to include his “Any Willing Worker” plan in any comprehensive amnesty bill passed by President Joe Biden and Congress.
So far, GOP legislators — quietly backed by some Democratic legislators — are blocking another giveaway to employers, investors, and migrants. For example, the farm sector is pushing for a bill that would supply them with an unlimited number of H-2A visa workers, and also allow them to pay the workers with Americans’ citizenship. If passed, the bill would reduce the marketplace pressure on farm companies to invest in labor-saving, wealth-producing, American-built, robot technology.
Because of the populist opposition to an amnesty, construction companies are being forced to compete for American workers with offers of higher wages and free training.
“Since COVID happened a lot of workers that we would use went back to Mexico or where they were from, and they’ve stayed over there, so that’s been a big shortage too,” Tiffany Albarez told KVUE in Austin, Texas.
“I want to get a job working outside, because I’m tired of working inside,” said Fredrick Williams, who went to Talley Construction’s hiring event in Rossville, Ga., on Wednesday afternoon.
Talley Construction is increasing wages to at least $14 per hour for every worker, and also improving benefits. At a hiring event hosted Wednesday, the company also says it’s not requiring prior experience to fill open positions.
“You don’t even have to know what you’re doing [at first]. We’ll teach you,” Kasha Williams said.
On May 28, Buden praised the tight labor market, saying:
Rising wages aren’t a bug; they’re a feature. We want to get — we want to get something economists call “full employment.” Instead of workers competing with each other for jobs that are scarce, we want employees to compete with each other to attract workers. We want the — the companies to compete to attract workers.
Commerce secretary Gina Raimondo spoke at the U.S. Chamber meeting.
While lobbying for an amnesty, CEOs are also finding innovative ways to replace Americans in better-paid skilled jobs, including many white-collar jobs favored by women.
For example, the wealthy Democratic governor of Colorado, Jared Polis signed a bill on May 31 that allows illegal immigrants to get professional licenses for skilled blue-collar careers, such as electricians, plumbers, welders, ironworkers. New Jersey’s Democratic governor Phil Murphy signed a similar bill in August 2020, with minimal visible opposition from the progressive-dominated trade union movement.
The law would help foreign contractors to fly workers into the U.S. on tourist visas for skilled construction jobs, just as Donald Trump reportedly used Polish workers in 1980 for union construction jobs in New York.
The laws allow companies to discard Americans in a wide range of white-collar and blue-collar jobs, including teaching, therapy, and counseling.
The licensing laws are backed by FWD.us, which was created by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in 2013 to lobby for more migration.
Also, FWD.us is fighting to preserve the migration of new workers, consumers, and renters into the U.S. economy. In April, roughly 70,000 new migrant workers were allowed through the border by Biden’s deputies or sneaked past the distracted border guards.
For their own self-interest, white-collar Americans should stop ignoring the economic damage done to blue-collar Americans, said Beck. He added:
Some people thought for many years that maybe we should just step aside and let [business groups] just flood these professional jobs markets. Then you would have the people in those professions crying out, and you’d have all of these middle class and upper-middle-class parents whose kids either in college or are headed to college, start to cry foul.
Just after the construction industry executive asked for more than one million foreign workers, an executive in the tech industry asked for the government to supply her sector with an unlimited inflow of foreign graduates for technology jobs.
“We need workers from the high-tech arena, we need workers in customer service, we need workers in-house technical expertise,” said Susan Bitter Smith, the executive director of the Southwest cable communications Association. She continued:
There are many things that could be done to help us fill those needed positions, starting with expanding the annual quota of H-1B visas for high-tech workers… In addition, allowing international students who graduate from the U.S. — we have great engineering and tech programs here — allowing them to stay here [with Optional Practical training work permits] to fill those positions in my industry.
The voter opposition to elite-backed economic migration coexists with support for legal immigrants and some sympathy for illegal migrants. But only a minority of Americans — mostly leftists — embrace the many skewed polls and articles pushing the 1950’s corporate “Nation of Immigrants” claim.
The deep public opposition to labor migration is built on the widespread recognition that legal and illegal migration moves money away from most Americans’ pocketbooks and families.
Washington, D.C. (June 3, 2021) - Todd Bensman, the Center’s Senior National Security Fellow, traveled to the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas to investigate how the Border Patrol, Texas National Guard, and Texas Department of Public Safety are handling the influx of illegal immigrants. Having viewed this area – ground zero for illegal immigration crossings – by water, air, and land, Bensman shares his observations on enforcement at the border, where federal law enforcement has been ordered by the Biden administration to stand down, and now spends more time processing and welcoming illegal immigrants than apprehending them. Bensman and the host of Parsing Immigration Policy, CIS executive director Mark Krikorian, share their views on the normalization of federal agents passively observing and even facilitating mass illegal entry. Is the federal government in effect running an enterprise jointly with the Mexican smugglers?
Krikorian concludes this episode by highlighting a recent push by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, possibly the most powerful lobby group in the nation, to expand the U.S. workforce through immigration at a time when millions of adult Americans are looking for work or not even in the job market at all. Just a reminder that the lobbying forces behind the push for high immigration do not advocate for American workers.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS FOR ILLEGALS, BOTTOMLESS BAILOUTS FOR BANKSTERS AND BILLIONAIRES WHO WANT TO HIRE ONLY 'CHEAP' FOREIGNERS.
THEY HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA HOW MANY ILLEGALS ARE IN AMERICA'S OPEN BORDERS. JUST KNOW IT'S NEVER ENOUGH.
Today, there are roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. and 42 million foreign nationals south of the U.S.-Mexico border who have said they want to migrate to the U.S. This is a foreign population that is nearly five times the population of New York City.
Report: Joe Biden’s DHS May Bring Deported Illegal Aliens Back to U.S.
President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may consider a plan to bring deported illegal aliens back to the United States, presumably paid for by American taxpayers.
The open borders lobby shared a plan with the Biden administration to bring illegal aliens deported by former President Donald Trump’s administration back to the U.S., according to the Associated Press (AP). More than 935,000 illegal aliens were deported by the Trump administration.
The plan, open borders activists with the corporate-backed National Immigrant Justice Center suggest, could be done through executive order by Biden and create an office inside DHS that allows deported illegal aliens to submit requests to return to the U.S.
The AP reports:
The plan asks the government to take into account factors like people who were eligible for legal status and had applied before being deported or those who have compelling circumstances.
The proposal has been shared with White House staff, the group said. It plans to invite Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to discuss the proposal and include a letter signed by 75 immigrants’ rights organizations supporting the plan.
A White House spokesperson referred questions about the proposal to the Department of Homeland Security, which did not immediately respond.
The plan comes as the Biden administration weighs another initiative to provide amnesty and reparations to more than 1,000 illegal aliens deported by the Trump administration. That plan would be a result of negotiations between the Biden administration and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which is representing the illegal aliens whose children are still in the U.S.
While the Biden administration has not explicitly endorsed the plan set forth by the National Immigrant Justice Center, similar provisions are included in the White House’s official amnesty plan, suggesting administration officials are supportive of such a policy.
As Breitbart News reported, Biden’s plan would give amnesty to illegal aliens who were already deported from the U.S. by the Trump administration starting in January 2017.
Specifically, the provision provides DHS waivers to deported illegal aliens — as long as they have not been convicted of a felony or three misdemeanors — so that they can return to the U.S. and apply for amnesty.
Today, there are roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. and 42 million foreign nationals south of the U.S.-Mexico border who have said they want to migrate to the U.S. This is a foreign population that is nearly five times the population of New York City.

Chamber of Commerce Launches Campaign to Import Wave of Foreign Workers to Take American Jobs
The United States Chamber of Commerce has launched a lobbying campaign to massively increase legal immigration to the U.S., specifically the flow of foreign visa workers into American jobs.
Dubbed the “America Works Agenda,” the Chamber is lobbying state and federal lawmakers to hugely expand the rate of legal immigration whereby, already, about 1.2 million legal immigrants are awarded green cards annually and roughly 1.4 million foreign nationals are given visas to take jobs in the U.S.
As part of the campaign, the Chamber is asking lawmakers to:
At least double employment-based green cards to 280,000 admissions a year
Eliminate per-country caps, allowing India and China to monopolize employment-based green card categories
Double the annual number of H-1B visas awarded to foreign workers
Double the annual number of H-2B visas awarded to foreign workers
Expand the H-2A visa program to allow non-seasonal agricultural businesses to import foreign workers
Allow foreign students to more easily secure employment-based green cards after graduation
Provide amnesty to illegal aliens enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program
Provide amnesty to foreign nationals enrolled in Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
Allow local politicians to import foreign workers to take American jobs in their local economy and to drive up population growth
Chamber President and CEO Suzanne Clark is billing the campaign as an effort to address the so-called “worker shortage” facing the business community, though 16.4 million Americans remain jobless and 5.2 million are underemployed but all of them want full-time work.
Such measures are a boon for big business as inflating the U.S. labor market allows employers to cut Americans’ wages, reducing the cost of labor, to increase profit margins.
The campaign’s goals, though, are largely out of step with the majority of Americans.
A Rasmussen Reports survey released on Tuesday, revealed that 72 percent of likely U.S. voters want to cut legal immigration levels, 62 percent want businesses to recruit jobless Americans for jobs over importing foreign workers, 58 percent say the U.S. has enough skilled Americans and does not need more foreign H-1B visa workers, and a plurality of 44 percent want immigration slowed down to stabilize the nation’s population growth.

The benefits of a tightened labor market, in which employees hold negotiating power over employers, manifested between 2017 and 2019 as the Trump administration sought to reduce overall immigration to protect the U.S. labor market.
In November 2019, for example, the bottom 25 percent of wage-earners saw the largest spike in their paychecks thanks to a tightened labor market with less foreign competition. Americans in the construction, mining, finance, hospitality, and manufacturing industries enjoyed some of the highest wage growth at the time.
A year before, also as a result of a tightened labor market, construction industry insiders admitted Americans had a 95 percent chance of being matched with a job at employment agencies and employers were having to boost wages in order to attract and retain workers.
In contrast, a flooded labor market from mass legal and illegal immigration to the U.S. has had a devastating impact on the nation’s working and middle class while redistributing wealth to the highest earners. While creating an economy that tilts in favor of employers, the economic model helped keep wages stagnate for decades.
Between 1979 to 2013, wage growth for the bottom 90 percent of Americans grew just 15 percent. Meanwhile, wage growth for the top one percent of Americans was nearly 140 percent.
(Chart via Economic Policy Institute)
Researchers have found that a flooded labor market can easily diminish job opportunities and wages for Americans.
One particular study by the Center for Immigration Studies’ Steven Camarota revealed that for every one percent increase in the immigrant portion of an American workers’ occupation, their 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.
