President Joe Biden again struggled to defend the disappointing jobs numbers for August, promoting more taxes as a solution.
The United States economy only created 235,000 jobs in August, a disastrous number as analysts predicted as many as 740,000.
Biden acknowledged he was disappointed by the report but noted encouragingly the number was still positive.
“While I know some wanted to see a larger number today and so did I, what we’ve seen this year is continued growth month after month,” he said.
Biden blamed the Delta variant of the coronavirus for hurting the economy, as well as Americans who refused to get vaccinated.
The president inexplicably tried to compare the poor economic numbers of the coronavirus surge last winter, when the vaccine was not widely available, to the current disappointing jobs numbers.
“We are adding jobs, not losing them,” he said.
He also promoted his proposals to raise taxes in order to offer more entitlements to poorer Americans — such as free elderly care, free childcare, free preschool, and free college.
“We’re going to do it by leveling the playing field,” Biden said, saying corporations and the wealthy would be forced to pay more in taxes.
“The vast majority of Americans are struggling just to hang on,” he said, noting that the number of billionaires in American grew.
“They can afford to pay just a little bit more,” he said.
Chuckling, he noted the stock market was still setting records during his presidency.
“Imagine if the other guy was here,” he said, referring to former President Donald Trump, who repeatedly touted the stock market as a mark of success.
“That doesn’t mean that it’s the best for the economy,” Biden said.
Biden’s Economy: The Black-White Unemployment Gap Soared in August Photo by OLIVIER DOULIERY/AFP via Getty Images 2:53
The black-white unemployment rate jumped higher in August, highlighting how the Biden administration’s policies have failed to arrest the unequal burden of inflation and the coronavirus resurgence.
Black unemployment jumped to 8.8 percent, up from 8.2 percent in August. The white unemployment rate went the other way: falling to 4.5 percent from 4.8 percent. As a result, black unemployment is almost twice the white rate.
White jobholders grew by 269,000 in August, an increase of 0.23 percent. Black jobholders rose by 135,000, an increase of 0.72 percent. The black participation rate rose in the month to 56.2 percent from 55.8 percent in July, a positive development, while the white participation rate was unchanged at 61.6 percent. That contributed to the growth of the race gap.
The widening racial gap was even larger for men. Unemployment among black men over 20 soared to 9.1 percent from 8.4 percent and employment grew by just 19,000, a 0.22 percent improvement. Unemployment among white men over 20 fell to 4.4 percent from 4.9 percent and employment grew by 201,000, a 0.45 percent improvement. As a result, the adult black male unemployment rate is now more than twice that of white men.
The racial gap among women also expanded. Black women over twenty saw their unemployment rate grow from 7.2 percent to 7.6 percent, while white women’s unemployment shrank to 4.2 percent from 4.6 percent.
During the presidency of Donald Trump, the black-white gap fell to record lows in both the summer of 2018 and the summer of 2019 , although both lows were followed by a widening in the gap. This was particularly notable because it came in the context of a rapidly expanding economy, indicating that the benefits of the expansion were being more equitably distributed. Black unemployment, for example, hit a record low in August of 2019.
Earlier bouts of shrinking inequality had come in the context of an economic contraction, when the racial unemployment narrowed because rising white unemployment caught up with black unemployment a bit.
Consistent with the pre-Trump pattern, the gap plunged to its lowest in the mass layoffs of April 2020, when the pandemic forced tens of millions out of their jobs and shuttered many businesses.
Biden promised that his administration would focus on addressing racial equity and making the economy more inclusive but in the first seven months of his term there is little evidence of accomplishment .

State and Local Politicians Move to Grant Coronavirus Relief to Illegal Aliens

Study: More than 7-in-10 California Immigrant Welfare
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/12/04/study-more-than-7-in-10-california-immigrant-households-are-on-welfare/
More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals. The latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that about 72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants use one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the number one immigrant-receiving state in the U.S.
Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of households headed by native-born Americans use welfare in California.
All four states with the largest foreign-born populations, including California, have extremely high use of welfare by immigrant households. In Texas, for example, nearly 70 percent of households headed by immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare. Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of native-born households in Texas are on welfare.
In New York and Florida, a majority of households headed by immigrants and noncitizens are on welfare. Overall, about 63 percent of immigrant households use welfare while only 35 percent of native-born households use welfare.
President Trump’s administration is looking to soon implement a policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the mass importation of welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public charge” rule whereby legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the past, including using Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.
The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.
As Breitbart News reported , the majority of the more than 1.5 million foreign nationals entering the country every year use about 57 percent more food stamps than the average native-born American household. Overall, immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizen households and 44 percent more in Medicaid dollars. This straining of public services by a booming 44 million foreign-born population translates to the average immigrant household costing American taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare.

Pelosi Uses August’s Disappointing Job Growth to Pitch ‘Build Back Better’ Spending House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi
(Screenshot)
“Today’s job report is further evidence of the need to Build Back Better for our economy,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday, reacting to August’s steep drop in job growth from its year-long trend reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
As the BLS reported in its monthly Employment Situation Summary , August’s 235,000 job growth was less than half the average monthly job gain recorded so far this year, coming in at just 235,000. To-date in 2021, the U.S. economy has added an average of 586,000 per month:
“Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 235,000 in August, and the unemployment rate declined by 0.2 percentage point to 5.2 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. So far this year, monthly job growth has averaged 586,000. In August, notable job gains occurred in professional and business services, transportation and warehousing, private education, manufacturing, and other services. Employment in retail trade declined over the month.”
“Today’s job report is further evidence of the need to Build Back Better for our economy,” Pelosi said in a statement commenting on the jobs report.
However, President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better spending plan isn’t just a short-term solution, it should continue for “years to come,” Pelosi said:
“The Build Back Better Act is what is needed to meet families’ needs, both during the pandemic and for years to come.”
It “will be transformational for families,” Pelosi predicted in her statement:
“Today’s job report is further evidence of the need to Build Back Better for our economy. As the delta variant continues, decisive action is needed to ensure that the economic gains forged under President Biden – including four million jobs created – are sustained and shared by all.
“The Build Back Better Act is what is needed to meet families’ needs, both during the pandemic and for years to come. We must Build Back Better so more women and parents can participate fully in our economy – including through historic investments in child care, paid family leave, free universal pre-school and home-based care. The Build Back Better Act will be transformational for families: cutting costs for child care, health care and prescription drugs, education and other priorities for families, delivering one of the largest tax cuts ever for workers and families and creating millions of good-paying jobs.
“Congressional Democrats and President Biden will Build Back Better – with more jobs, cut taxes and lower costs for all.”
As CNSNews.com has reported , Pelosi is struggling to even gain support from some Democrats for her $3.5 trillion spending package, even though she is threatening to hold a Senate-passed infrastructure bill hostage until the House first passes her budget bill.
120 Migrants, Plus Children, Found in Abandoned Trailer in Texas near Border Photo: U.S. Border Patrol/Laredo Sector 3:19
Laredo Sector Border Patrol agents and local police officers discovered 120 migrants locked inside an abandoned tractor-trailer rig late last month. The group included five unaccompanied minors.
Laredo Sector Chief Patrol Agent Matthew Hudak tweeted photos showing a large group of migrants found in an abandoned tractor-trailer in Laredo, Texas, on August 28. Border Patrol agents and officers from the Laredo Police Department teamed up to rescue the 120 migrants locked inside the trailer.
The discovery began when a Laredo police officer found an abandoned tractor-trailer near Bob Bullock Loop and Crepusculo Drive. The officer called for assistance from Border Patrol.
A search of the trailer revealed 120 migrants trapped inside, officials stated. An immigration interview identified the migrants as citizens of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. The agents identified five of the migrants as unaccompanied minors from Mexico and Honduras, officials stated.
Laredo North Station received information about a group of migrants marching through a ranch north of Laredo. The agents responded to the area and found the group of migrants. The agents identified one of the migrants as an unaccompanied minor from Mexico.
Officials coordinated with the consulates of Mexico and Honduras to return the children to their respective countries.
“The Laredo Sector Border Patrol cannot stress enough the dangers and risks that undocumented individuals, especially unaccompanied minors, place themselves in when commencing their illegal journey into the United States,” Laredo Sector officials said in a written statement. “Without a legal guardian, these minors subject themselves to human smugglers who place them in increased danger during the high temperatures of summer and will abandon them at the first sign of danger in remote areas.”

Biden Doesn't Know Where Those Illegal Alien Trafficked Kids He Released Went Thu Sep 2, 2021
Maybe they were safer in those "cages"?
The U.S. government has lost contact with thousands of migrant children released from its custody, according to data obtained by Axios through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
Why it matters: Roughly one-in-three calls made to released migrant kids or their sponsors between January and May went unanswered, raising questions about the government's ability to protect minors after they're released to family members or others in the U.S.
Shockingly, releasing children being trafficked for migration purposes to their traffickers or associated contacts, wasn't a good idea.
But that doesn't mean that the Biden administration is about to stop doing it.
There was a reason that children being trafficked across the border were being detained. It was not only for our safety, but for theirs.
"This is very dismaying," said Mark Greenberg, who oversaw the unaccompanied minors program during the Obama administration and was briefed on Axios' findings. "If large numbers of children and sponsors aren’t being reached, that’s a very big gap in efforts to help them."
But the good news is immigration policy got owned and you guys are closer to flipping red states? As a famous Pulitzer prize-winning New York Times journalist once said, "You can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs."
The data also indicates calls aren't happening with the frequency they should. Between President Biden's inauguration and the end of May, HHS discharged 32,000 children and teens — but the government placed fewer than 15,000 follow-up calls, according to the FOIA response.
Why bother? Just write off a few $800 million contracts with contractors to "care for them".
And AOC is available to come and cry at a parking lot in your area.
Study: Over Half of Migrants Are on American Taxpayer-Funded Welfare Brandon Bell/Getty Images 3:09
More than half of the nation’s non-citizen population — including legal immigrants, foreign visa workers, and illegal aliens — use American taxpayer-funded welfare after arriving in the United States, a new analysis reveals.
Research by Center for Immigration Studies Director of Research Steven Camarota finds that about 55 percent of non-citizen households in the U.S. use at least one form of welfare compared to just 32 percent of households headed by native-born Americans.
Camarota’s research analyzes the U.S. Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation data from 2018, showing that 49 percent of households headed by foreign-born residents, including naturalized American citizens, use at least one welfare program.
In 2017, economist George Borjas called the U.S. immigration system “the largest anti-poverty program in the world” at the expense of America’s working and middle class.
(Center for Immigration Studies)
Specifically, foreign-born residents used vastly more Medicaid compared to native-born Americans and food stamps. For example, while 33 percent of foreign-born residents use Medicaid, just 20 percent of native-born Americans do so.
Likewise, while 31 percent of foreign-born residents are on food stamps, only 19 percent of native-born Americans use the program.
Camarota’s research reveals that even after years and years of residing in the U.S., foreign-born resident households continue to use high levels of welfare.
About 44 percent of foreign-born residents who resided in the U.S. for 10 years or less use at least one form of welfare. Roughly 50 percent of those who resided in the U.S. for more than 10 years are on welfare.
When naturalized Americans are excluded from that count, the level of welfare use rises significantly for those who have resided in the U.S. for a while. For example, among non-citizen households who resided in the U.S. for 10 years or less, 40 percent use welfare. For those in the U.S. for more than 10 years, about 62 percent are on welfare.
The latest data comes after similar numbers were released in March 2019 that showed that, in 2014, non-citizen households used nearly twice as much welfare as native-born Americans.
Currently, there is an estimated record high of 44.5 million foreign-born residents living in the U.S. This is nearly quadruple the immigrant population in 2000. The vast majority of those arriving in the country every year — more than 1.5 million annually — are low-skilled foreign nationals who go on to compete for jobs against working class Americans.
At current legal immigration levels, the Census Bureau projects that about 1-in-6 U.S. residents will be foreign-born by 2060 with the foreign-born population hitting a record 69 million.

Armed Human Smuggler Arrested in Texas near Border File Photo: Bob Price/Breitbart Texas 2:46
Border Patrol agents in South Texas teamed up with state and local law enforcement to interdict several human smuggling operations, one ending with an armed suspect.
Falfurrias Border Patrol Station agents assigned to the interior checkpoint on U.S. Highway 281 in Brooks County, Texas, on August 31 observed a brown Ford Explorer approaching for inspection, according to the Rio Grande Valley Sector. Officials reported the driver appeared nervous and referred him to a secondary station.
During inspection, the agents questioned the occupants of the vehicle and determined they were illegally present in the United States. They arrested the migrants and the driver. During an inspection of the SUV, agents found two semi-automatic pistols.
Later that day, Weslaco Station agents received information about a black sedan near the Rio Grande in Donna, Texas. Agents responded and observed the vehicle heading north, away from the river. The sedan quickly made a U-turn and drove back to the river where the occupants jumped out and fled into the brush.
Agents apprehended four migrants. They observed two people making their way across the Rio Grande back to Mexico.
McAllen Station agents attempted to stop a suspicious vehicle just north of Edinburg, Texas. The driver failed to yield when the agents attempted a traffic stop. The pursuit ended near San Manuel, Texas. The agents arrested the driver and five “noncitizens” in the vehicle.
Border Patrol agents responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle inside a ranch near Encinal, Texas, on August 31. As agents approached the pickup truck, it failed to yield and fled.
The occupants of the vehicle fled into the brush. Agents apprehended six Mexican nationals who are illegally present in the U.S.
Vehicle pursuits are becoming more frequent in South Texas as smugglers become desperate to move their cargo into the U.S. interior. Chases are becoming more commonplace as far as 200 miles inland, Texas sheriffs say.

Surveillance Drone Leads to Apprehension of 30 Migrants near Border in Texas Video Screenshot/U.S. Border Patrol-Del Rio Sector 2:39
Laredo Sector Border Patrol agents utilizing Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) detected a group of 30 migrants preparing to enter the United States illegally. Ground-based agents later intervened.
Laredo Sector Chief Patrol Agent Matthew Hudak tweeted an image captured by an sUAS flying along the Texas-Mexico border. Drone operators observed video showing a group of 30 migrants attempting to enter the U.S. from Mexico.
Agents later arrived on the scene and took the migrants into custody.
Border Patrol agents have increased their use of technology like the sUAS aircraft to enhance their ability to detect and apprehend illegal border crossings in remote areas.
In April, Del Rio Sector agents utilized sUAS technology to apprehend more than 450 migrants in a two-week period, Breitbart Texas reported .
A video tweeted by Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Austin Skero shows a group of migrants running through the brush. The group appears to squat down to avoid detection by Border Patrol agents.
With the use of the sUAS drones, monitoring agents are able to clearly see the location of the hiding migrants and direct ground teams to make the arrest.
The operation of sUAS vehicles is not unique to South Texas Border Patrol operations. Earlier in February, sUAS pilots in the Yuma Sector utilized the drone’s technology to locate three migrants hiding in the thick brush along the roadway, Chief Patrol Agent Chris Clem tweeted. The pilot directed the Border Patrol agent directly to the migrants’ hiding spot where he was able to place them in custody.

Human Smugglers Abandon Mother, Child on Texas Ranch 80 Miles from Border Photo: U.S. Border Patrol/Rio Grande Valley Sector 3:18
Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents carried out multiple rescues of migrants in life-threatening situations over the past few days. One included a mother and her nine-year-old son who human smugglers abandoned in the deadly ranch lands of Brooks County, Texas.
Falfurrias Border Patrol Station officials received an emergency call on Saturday morning from a Salvadoran migrant who said his nine-year-old brother became lost on a ranch as they attempted to circumvent the interior checkpoint located on U.S. Highway 281 in Brooks County, according to information received from Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol officials.
Agents responded to the GPS coordinates provided by the brother and, within one hour, found the child and his mother. The agents transported the mother and child to the Falfurrias Station for medical evaluation and processing.
Later that day, a U.S. Coast Guard riverine unit patrolling the Rio Grande near La Joya, Texas, came upon a raft with three people attempting to cross from Mexico into Texas. The smugglers on the Mexican riverbank quickly pulled the raft back to their shore, causing the raft to capsize.
Most of the migrants quickly scrambled to the Mexican side. However, one man immediately became in distress and called for help as he repeatedly went underwater, officials reported. The Guardsmen positioned their boat alongside the drowning migrants and pulled him aboard. They transported him to Border Patrol agents for evaluation and processing.
On Friday evening, Rio Grande City Station agents received information about two people running toward a waiting vehicle near Roma, Texas. A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper responded to the area and approached the vehicle. A female quickly jumped out of the moving vehicle.
A second subject jumped from the vehicle and fled into the brush. After stopping the vehicle, the driver, a U.S. citizen, told the trooper he is on federal probation for narcotics and human smuggling.
The trooper called the local EMS service for the woman who injured herself when she jumped from the moving vehicle. During her medical evaluation, the Guatemalan woman lost consciousness. The EMS crew transported her to a local hospital for her leg injury. The second migrant was not found.
Another Coast Guard riverine unit patrolling the Rio Grande near Mission, Texas, on Sunday morning found a male migrant attempting to hold onto a log in the middle of the river. He also utilized plastic bottles stuffed in his shirt to try and stay afloat, officials stated. The Guardsmen pulled their boat alongside the log and pulled the Mexican national into the boat. Border Patrol agents onshore medically assessed the man and transported him to the station for processing.
100 Migrants Died in One Texas Border Sector this Year File Photo: Bob Price/Breitbart Texas Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents and local law enforcement officials found the bodies or skeletal remains of more than 100 migrants so far this fiscal year.
Despite nearly 1,000 rescues and new technology deployed to help lost migrants call for help, Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector found the bodies or remains of more than 100 migrants so far this fiscal year, according to information obtained from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Some of these migrants drowned while crossing the Rio Grande border from Mexico. Others died on the vast arid ranchlands both on the border and further inland.
CBP officials stated that most of the more than 100 deaths of migrants came on the “rugged ranchlands in south Texas.” On many of these ranches, human smugglers send migrants on a foot journey around interior Border Patrol checkpoints.
During these treks, if a migrant gets separated, falls behind, get’s injured or ill, or for any other reason, can’t keep up, the smugglers leave them behind to die,” Brook County Sheriff Benny Martinez told Breitbart Texas. So far this calendar year, Sheriff Martinez’s deputies recovered the bodies or skeletal remains of at least 70 migrants.
“We’ve had a 140% increase in dead bodies, a 130% increase in 9-1-1 calls, over 200% increase in rescues,” Sheriff Martinez said during testimony before Congress during a hearing this week. “We’re 70 miles north of the [Rio Grande] river, we do have a checkpoint, a lot of private land, and this is what’s occurring in our backyard. There’s a lack of manpower, there’s a lack of resources.”
Border Patrol agents in this sector conducted nearly 1,000 in the sector as emergency calls from lost migrants became a near-daily occurrence, officials stated. Border Patrol agents also deployed 24 rescue beacons on the ranchlands to help reduce the number of deaths. By the end of the fiscal year, September 30, another 24 will be deployed.
CBP officials added:
Migrants are exposed to dangers even before setting foot on U.S. soil. In the RGV, a common method of illegal entry is via inflatable raft. Smugglers will overfill rafts, many times leading to the possibility of the vessel capsizing. Another ongoing threat remains to be heat related illnesses, many of which occur after migrants are abandoned by smugglers. Checkpoint agents also remain vigilant for smuggling loads involving tractor trailers as smugglers use holding capacities of trailers to maximize their profits, dangerously filling 50 to 100 people in non-ventilated containers for hours at a time. Law enforcement partners frequently observe the reckless behavior of smugglers attempting to evade arrest while jeopardizing the lives of those they smuggle.
Distressed migrants abandoned by smugglers are left in desolate areas when they are unable to keep up with the rest of the group. RGV receives phone calls from family members pleading for agents to search specific areas for their loved ones after being notified the person was left behind by the foot guide. Regrettably, there are instances when loved ones find help and return with assistance only to find their loved one has succumbed to the elements. Brooks and Kennedy Counties are approximately a 70-mile hike from the border and is primarily vast, desolate ranch lands. The area is notorious for migrant deaths, especially during summer months, as smugglers attempt circumventing the checkpoint on foot. Last week alone, 10 decedents were discovered on the ranch lands. This month, more than 20 people have lost their lives during smuggling attempts.
CBP officials also discussed the reckless disregard for human life held by human smugglers who “continue to try these brazen attempts with zero regard for the lives they endanger nor to the health of the citizens of our great nation.”

Migrants Hide in New Car Transports on South Texas Trains CBP 1:47
On Tuesday, Border Patrol agents in Hebbronville, Texas, discovered 19 migrants hidden on a Kansas City Southern train during routine inspection. The migrants were found hidden in a box car carrying new vehicles from Mexico.
On Wednesday, in a repeat of the previous day’s event, an additional 34 migrants were discovered in cars. The migrants were arrested without incident.
These episodes are becoming all too common along the southwest border during the current crisis. The discovery of migrants hidden on freight trains is a daily occurrence. The migrants are found near the border and sometimes miles away during inspection by Border Patrol agents and local law enforcement. Migrants are increasingly finding unique and sometimes dangerous places to hide on the trains leaving Laredo, Texas.
During Thursday’s train search, 15 additional migrants were found trapped inside a grain hopper, covered in a white powdery substance. This discovery prompted the Border Patrol to summon the Hebbronville Fire Department for assistance in decontamination and treatment of those found trapped. According to the Border Patrol, there were no serious injuries.
