America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections

JOE BIDEN'S MINISTER OF PROPAGANDA AND OPEN BORDERS MARKY ZUCKERBERG HOWLS TO HIS DADDY - JOE, GET ME SOME INDIANS. I WILL NOT PAY LIVING WAGES TO AMERICAN BORN TECH WORKERS! FUCK THAT!
Federal data shows that current legal immigration levels will drive the nation’s foreign-born population to an unprecedented 69 million by 2060. The data indicates that about 1-in-6 U.S. residents in less than four decades will have been born outside the U.S. if legal immigration levels are not reduced. JOHN BINDER
American graduates’ odds of landing STEM jobs are dismal, mostly due to corporate offshoring and the nation’s allowing companies to import foreign visa workers to do the same work for less. Recent Census Bureau data, for example, found that although 37 percent of the college-educated U.S. workforce held STEM degrees, just 14 percent worked in STEM jobs.
Federal data shows that current legal immigration levels will drive the nation’s foreign-born population to an unprecedented 69 million by 2060. The data indicates that about 1-in-6 U.S. residents in less than four decades will have been born outside the U.S. if legal immigration levels are not reduced.
The nation’s foreign-born population stands at 44.5 million — a 108-year record high.
D.C. Lobbies: Cut Inflation by Importing Cheaper Workers
Congress can and should import more wage-cutting migrants to reduce President Joe Biden’s rising inflation, say progressives and business advocates.
“One of the driving forces behind inflation is the shortage of workers … And yet immigration has fallen sharply in recent years amid the pandemic and tougher immigration policies during the Trump administration,” said a CNN report. “Comprehensive immigration reform, which Biden could forcefully advocate for, would help ease the shortage of workers and thus the inflationary pressures, economists say.”
Inflation is being fueled by labor shortages, wrote Katherine Rampell, a Washington Post columnist. “There’s one underappreciated factor contributing to labor shortfalls that the Biden administration could alleviate almost immediately: the “missing” immigrant workers.”
The economic logic is correct; More immigration will flood the labor market, so shrinking wages, so reducing the cost of many items, including food and services.
But the vast majority of the benefits would go to wealthy investors and employers — not to the ordinary Americans who might be able to get slightly cheaper groceries as they watch their wages shrink in value.
“The larger crisis in the U.S. labor market is [not a lack of immigrants, but]… the dramatic decline in work among working-age people for the last 50 years,” said Steve Camarota, research director at the Center for Immigration Studies. “If you look at prime-age men, from the time I was born in 1964 to the present, you have basically an uninterrupted 60-year decline” in the share of men who are working, he said.
That share began rising amid President Donald Trump’s low-immigration policies — but then crashed when the coronavirus hit the economy, he said.
Yet many D. C. lobbies and advocates want to shield wealthy investors from inflation by sacrificing the wages of ordinary Americans.
“In the past week, we learned that these [employee shortages] shortages led to the largest year-on-year increase in inflation in over 30 years,” claimed two advocates at the Brookings Institution. “Some of these front-line jobs could be filled from the vast pool of [migrants] … This would help relieve the supply chain pressures currently hampering growth, calm inflation.”
“Welcoming more low-wage foreign workers could address acute labor shortages in certain industries, helping hard-hit areas of the country recover while staving off higher inflation,” Vox.com claimed October 26.

“As for how he would curb inflation, [economist and former Obama advisor, Austan] Goolsbee proposed … boosting immigration to alleviate labor market pressures,” NBC reported Nov. 28.
Some advocates are calling for more migration while also claiming the extra labor supply will not cut wages. “Allowing more working-age immigrants to enter the U.S. can reduce prices without depressing economy-wide wages,” said Eric Levitz, a pro-migration writer at New York Magazine.
But business — including Wall Street — believes that migrants cut wages, and even Biden’s White House officials admit the trade-off.
So Democratic legislators are more careful as they pitch the same migration-cures-inflation pitch.
“If my Republican colleagues think that there is a labor shortage … then they should welcome the ability for migrants, immigrants who have been living in our communities for decades, they should welcome them having access to work permits,” Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Tx) told PBS NewsHour on November 2017.
“If they’re concerned about inflation, as we all are, then we want to get productivity back up.”
On November 14, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen seemingly rejected the cut-wages-to-reduce inflation that was proposed to her by CBS’ interviewer on “Face The Nation”:
There are a lot of issues involved in immigration, but that — I believe that is one reason that we do face supply shortages — shortages of certain kinds of workers … I mean, we’ve long had a problem of more jobs available for skilled workers and declining opportunities for less skilled workers. So focusing on education and training [for Americans] was important and continues to be.
“Labor supply has been impacted by the pandemic — [American] labor force participation is down; it hasn’t recovered,” she noted.
Nonetheless, Biden and his deputies are arguing that his $1.7 trillion Build Back Better bill will reduce inflation by eventually increasing the productivity of U.S. workers.
But that bill would allow government and business executives to also import millions of new workers and consumers who will reduce productivity and drive down wages while also spiking inflation in housing prices.
A columnist at Bloomberg.com noted November 21 that the big-spending bill is not intended to curb inflation:
The truth is that the Democrats aren’t pursuing this spending bill in the spirit of meeting a pressing national objective. They’re just trying to cram as much of the progressive agenda as they can get through Congress before Republicans can end their control of it in the next election. That’s not the kind of advertising pitch likely to work on the public, though. And so we have ended up with the president pretending that this bill is his big idea to whip inflation.
A recently leaked internal survey at tech giant Facebook (now known as Meta) shows that employees at the firm are increasingly losing confidence in Mark Zuckerberg’s leadership team and less than half plan to stay at the social media company.
Business Insider reports that an internal Facebook survey of employees shows that many are losing confidence in company leadership and less than half had positive responses about their “intent to stay,” despite many finding themselves increasingly satisfied with direct managers.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is applauded as he delivers the opening keynote introducing new Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram privacy features at the Facebook F8 Conference at McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California on April 30, 2019. – Got a crush on another Facebook user?

Facebook measures employee sentiment twice a year in an internal survey named “Pulse.” Business Insider gained access to recently leaked companywide results from the latest poll released to employees this month.
Staff provided positive responses to a section called “what everyone at Facebook thinks about their direct managers,” which included categories like “people” with an 84 percent favorable response rate, “collaboration” with an 83 percent favorable response rate, and “team impact” with an 85 percent positive response rate.
In sections about how employees felt about Facebook as a company, responses were less favorable. A section called “what everyone at Facebook thinks about the company,” received a 65 percent favorable response rate, a reduction by two percentage points from the previous survey conducted in early 2021.
The survey showed that employees are losing confidence in leadership with favorable responses down seven points since the beginning of the year to 49 percent. 47 percent of employees answered favorably about their “intent to stay,” at Facebook, a decline of 2 percentage points compared to the previous survey.
Responses for “optimism” fell 11 percentage points to 51 percent while “pride” fell seven percentage points to 55 percent. Another section titled “what everyone at Facebook thinks about their personal experience,” received 61 percent favorable responses, an increase of 1 percent compared to early 2021.
A Facebook spokesperson commented: “Feedback is a core part of our culture and we routinely conduct internal surveys among employees so we can learn where we’re doing well or where we need to improve. In areas where we’ve seen declines, we hear our employees, we’re taking their feedback seriously and most importantly taking action.”
