CARVILLE - TRUMP IS A CAREER CRIMINAL - SHOULD BE INDICTED - BUT GRIFTERS HILLARY AND BILLARY CLINTON, OPERATORS OF THE FRAUDULENT CLINTON FOUNDATION FAMILY SLUSH FUND ARE NOT CRIMINALS! - THEY'RE GLOBALIST DEMOCRATS!

 

Carville: ‘Donald Trump in My Opinion Is a Career Criminal’ — ‘I Hope’ the New AG Indicts Him

1:58

Former lead strategist for Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign James Carville said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Weekends” that President Donald Trump was a “career criminal.”

Carville said, “The suggestion that President-elect Biden pardons Donald Trump I would leave the Democratic Party and so would tens of millions of other people if there’s no accountability here. Look, when he becomes president, he’s got to put his agenda out and has to work on that, but the other people, we’ve got to light some lights here. No any hint of Trump being pardoned would be a catastrophe of the first order.”

He continued, “What needs to be done, the Fulton County D.A., the Manhattan D.A., the New York State attorney general, other people who are interested in accountability and hopefully, and I hope that the new attorney general is going deal with Title 18 of the United States Code and make sure there are no violations that have by Donald Trump during any time that he was president. Hell no, no pardon, no pardon ever for him.”

He added, “Donald Trump, in my opinion, is a career criminal, and what he does is commit crimes, and I’m sure — look what’s going on. Read the paper today, and — and we don’t know that they are paying trump, but this is what he has done, and anybody that pardons him or thinks of pardoning him. Nixon is a different situation. He did some bad things. I do not believe that Richard Nixon was a career criminal. He lied and okayed crimes in his own interest. I think Trump is an entirely different case. I think there would be an eruption in this country to the likes that you can’t imagine. I don’t think President-elect Biden has any intention of pardoning him, and not only do I hope they don’t pardon him. I hope the new attorney general finds if there are have had crimes that are committed that they indict him.”

THE FALL OF AMERICA - DID BIDEN'S CRONIES ON WALL STREET DESTROY THE AMERICAN DREAM?

 What are some of the economic factors that contribute to the growth of fascist movements? What can we learn from history and what are the troubling parallels that we see today?

In his latest Global Capitalism lecture, Prof Wolff gave brief updates on the US military intervention in elections and the economics of advertising, after which he tackles this big topic: the rise and fall of American capitalism. 


“If you have rising wages for 150 years you develop in your people a peculiar mentality: they begin to think that they live in a charmed place. You can call it the American dream, you can call it the capitalist system, but it's this feeling that you as an American citizen are somehow entitled. It's important to get that in your mind because that's what's been taken away from a large number of Americans and made them very, very angry. And you saw that on January 6.”

However, during the pandemic of the last 10 months, the richest 600 or so Americans have become much richer still, while 60 million Americans had to file for unemployment compensation for some or all of the same period. As Prof Wolff said, you have to go back to Ancient Egypt to see similar levels of inequality.

“Not wearing a mask is craziness. Climbing up the Capitol’s wall, that's craziness too. But it would be a terrible mistake to give it some abstract theoretical explanation without understanding its roots in genuine, real lived experience. That's what makes those people think and act the way they do and if that isn't changed they will continue, and their neighbors will, and their children will…”

Prof Wolff’s lecture examines the history of rising fascism in Germany after World War I. He describes the three economic blows that hit the German people in quick succession: a lost war, inflation, and a great depression. In 1923, fifty years of savings bought you a quarter pound of butter. Prof Wolff says this drove the German working class crazy. 

In an 1923 event known as the Beer Hall Putsch, Adolf Hitler and a group of young, white men (“looking an awful lot like those who took over the Capitol on January 6th in D.C.”) stormed a building in downtown Munich, Bavaria, in an attempt to take over the government. They were unsuccessful. Hitler was arrested, tried, found guilty; he spent almost a year in jail. He wasn’t well known to the public at the time, but just 10 years later, in 1933, he became the head of the German government. Why? Because, as Prof Wolff says, the capitalist system of Germany only got worse in the intervening 10 years. This grew an audience of desperate people looking for reasons to their suffering, and Hitler and his Nazi party organized themselves and provided answers and promises for drastic change.  

“There is a lesson: if you don't make the basic changes that are causing these social divisions and crises, they will get worse. If Mr. Biden chooses to continue to be the kind of central Democrat spokesman for the corporations, then he will be recreating the conditions that produced both Mr. Trump and those disastrous events at the Capitol. Only the next time, those folks who cheered that on will very likely have learned better ways to go about the same tasks aimed at the same objective.”

BARACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN FUNDED WITH U.S. TAX DOLLARS THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY OF LA RAZA 'THE RACE' NOW CALLING ITSELF UNIDOSus. LA RAZA IS A MEXICAN FASCIST POLITICAL PARTY TO EXPAND MEXICO'S OCCUPATION AND VAST WELFARE STATE ON AMERICAN LEGALS' BACKS. UNDER THE OBAMA-BIDEN BANKSTER REGIME,  LA RAZA OPERATED OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE UNDER CECELIA MUNOZ. GOOGLE IT!


These are the sacrifices that will be asked of the American people in the short term.  But the payoff will be huge.  Our most intractable problem will be solved.  Illegal immigration will be eliminated – permanently!  By turning American into a despotic, impoverished hellhole, we’ll never again have to worry about people sneaking across our border.  

Democrats Again Consider Bailing Out the Wealthy with Billions in Tax Cuts

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - OCTOBER 25: Democratic Presidential candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Paul Pelosi arrive for the funeral of Rep.

Democrats are again considering legislation to provide their wealthy blue state donors with billions by ending the cap on a tax deduction.

As President-elect Joe Biden has released his $1.9 trillion Chinese coronavirus relief package that offers $1,400 stimulus checks to working and middle class Americans, rather than the $2,000 checks that President Trump had requested, Democrats are resurrecting their goal of providing tax breaks to the wealthiest of Americans, mostly concentrated in coastal blue states.

The plan once again being considered by Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee would end the cap on the SALT tax deduction that was strictly limited by Trump in 2017. Ending the cap over the next two years would give millionaires and billionaires a massive windfall while costing about $136 billion.

The Daily Poster contrasted the elimination of the cap to the cost of stimulus checks:

If Democrats choose to permanently repeal the cap, it would cost almost $600 billion — or three times the amount it would cost to boost the $1,400 checks to $2,000. [Emphasis added]

$2,000 checks would target help to the bottom 60 percent of income earners, who would see an average increase of 11 percent in their annual income, and it would be a particularly big income boost for the poorest Americans. By contrast, the SALT deduction would mostly benefit wealthy households, with the top 5 percent of households receiving over 80 percent of the benefit. [Emphasis added]

The top 1 percent of households would get roughly 60 percent of all the benefits of a SALT cap repeal, which translates to “an average tax cut of more than $33,000,” wrote Howard Gleckman of the Tax Policy Center. [Emphasis added]

In March 2020, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget wrote in an analysis that ending the cap would ensure that “the average household making over $1 million would receive over $100,000.”

“Households making less than $50,000 would receive almost no benefit from repealing or raising the SALT cap,” the analysis stated.

As Breitbart News reported in May 2020, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) sought to include the elimination of the cap in the HEROES Act.

Big Business: Joe Biden’s Amnesty for Illegal

 Aliens Is a Legislative Priority

The big business lobby is cheerleading President-elect Joe Biden’s massive amnesty plan for the 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States, calling the initiative one of their many “priorities.”

Biden floated the amnesty plan with a number of open borders and business lobbying groups during a meeting this week. Some executives with the groups are calling the amnesty “the most aggressive” plan they have seen while working on Capitol Hill, suggesting it includes not only legislation, but executive orders to legalize most of the illegal alien population.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which represents corporate interests, tells Axios the amnesty plan is among the many priorities they want from the Biden administration.

Axios reports:

Suzanne Clark, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, told me that the #1 desire she hears from members, including small businesses, is “more responsible adults in the room governing.”

Clark said key parts of the early Biden agenda — pandemic relief, vaccines, infrastructure, trade, immigration, workforce — “are all business priorities.”

The statement mimics that of the Chamber’s CEO Thomas Donohue, who said this week he is interested in working with Biden to not only provide amnesty to illegal aliens, but to expand the number of legal immigrants admitted to the U.S. every year.

Annually, more than 1.2 million legal immigrants are awarded green cards, and another 1.4 million foreign nationals are given visas. These totals are in addition to the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who are added to the U.S. population every year.

Such an amnesty would be a boon to the corporate interests that the Chamber represents as the business lobby, Wall Street investors, and Big Tech seek to slash wages and widen profit margins by inflating the U.S. labor market with millions of foreign competitors to working and middle class Americans.

NumbersUSA, which advocates on behalf of American workers, said the fact that U.S. wages are “finally rising after decades of stagnation and real wage decreases in many manual labor jobs” is “exactly why Joe Biden is intent on flooding [the] labor market with foreign workers”:

Today, 18 million Americans are jobless, and another 6.2 million are underemployed, all of whom want full-time jobs with competitive wages and good benefits. Their chances of securing higher wages and more job opportunities are crushed by the mass inflow of illegal and legal immigration.

One particular study by the Center for Immigration Studies’ Steven Camarota revealed that for every one percent increase in the immigrant portion of 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 because more than 17 percent of the workforce is foreign-born.

Biden’s amnesty plan would need to garner support from a handful of 28 House Democrats who barely won their seats in the 2020 election and who will be up for reelection again in 2022. Those Democrats include Reps. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ), Lauren Underwood (D-IL), Cindy Axne (D-IA), Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), Angie Craig (D-MN), and Conor Lamb (D-PA).

Joe Biden is going to show us what he’s made of

On the campaign trail, we conservatives frequently ridiculed Joe Biden.  We thought he was showing signs of dementia.  Truth be told, he was operating at a much higher intellectual level than we proles do. We simply didn’t recognize his genius.  I’m still trying to figure out what a “lying dog faced pony soldier” is.  That one’s so far over my head I fear I’ll never understand its meaning.  We are about to see the real Joe Biden, as he brings his intellect to bear on our most chronic problems.

The Trump administration was all about short term gratification, with no thought to future consequences.  Donald Trump gave us enhanced prosperity, increased liberty, and improved national security.  This was short-sighted and selfish.  While the rest of us were drunk on these immediate rewards, Joe knew that a little sacrifice today could yield immeasurable rewards in the future.

The rationale for many of the initiatives that Joe will pursue may not seem obvious at first.  That’s because he must be playing the political equivalent of 3D chess, which is simply beyond our comprehension... right?  He has a plan, and each step will move us closer to the inevitable goal.

He will indulge the left’s fetish with climate change by rejoining the Paris Climate Accord, restricting energy exploration, and banning fracking.  Energy costs will skyrocket, driving up the cost of transportation, utilities, and all manufactured products.  Every American’s buying power will be reduced and spending on leisure pursuits will no longer be an option for middle- and lower-income families.

Forgiveness of student loans, profligate spending, and the expansion of government assistance will drive a necessary rise in the national debt.  The value of the dollar will be driven down with further erosion of everyone’s buying power.

Trade deals with China will cause rising unemployment and stagnant wages.  Fortunately, it will also enrich our ruling class, thus providing them the necessary resources to weather this storm.

“Medicare for all” will give total control of our healthcare to the government.  For the first time ever, absolute equality will be achieved in our health care system.  If a treatment is unaffordable to our government, it will be denied to everyone – rich or poor.

Police forces will be defunded and private gun ownership severely curtailed.  Crime will necessarily rise, but it will provide redistribution of wealth to the less fortunate among us.

Hate speech will be criminalized and dissenting views will be censored.  This will ring in an era of love, peace, and harmony for all Americans.  Failure to participate in this new, gentler, society will not be tolerated.  Re-education camps may be required to help Americans transition with as little trauma as possible.

These are the sacrifices that will be asked of the American people in the short term.  But the payoff will be huge.  Our most intractable problem will be solved.  Illegal immigration will be eliminated – permanently!  By turning American into a despotic, impoverished hellhole, we’ll never again have to worry about people sneaking across our border.  It worked for Cuba.  There’s no reason to believe it will not work here as well.

Unfortunately, Mexico may see an influx of illegal aliens over the next several years.  Perhaps they can get us to buy them a wall.

Joe Biden’s Amnesty Strategy Hides the Money by Denying Border Safeguards

DACA
Neil Munro, Breitbart News
7:20

President-elect Joe Biden’s draft immigration plan does not include any protections for Americans, while it offers the huge prize of American citizenship to at least 11 million migrants from around the world, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.

The January 15 report says:

The proposed legislation would not contain any provisions directly linking an expansion of immigration with stepped-up enforcement and security measures, said Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center Immigrant Justice Fund, who has been consulted on the proposal by Biden staffers.

“This notion concerning immigration enforcement and giving Republicans everything they kept asking for … was flawed from the beginning,” Hincapié told the newspaper.

The measure “will not seek to trade immigration relief for enforcement, and that’s huge,” Lorella Praeli, who was brought to the United States as an illegal immigrant by her Peruvian parents. Praeli is a pro-migration advocate and has close ties to Biden’s pro-migration appointees.

But the shocking exclusion of safeguards may merely be a negotiating tactic that helps journalists and GOP legislators to keep the debate away from the economic damage caused by amnesty.

In 2013, pro-migration advocates minimized safeguards in the early draft of their “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill. This tactic helped the media to focus the deep public criticism of the bill around the security gap.

Just before the floor debate, the bill’s authors announced a big-spending security plan — the Hoeven-Corker amendment. The planned surprise allowed the advocates to claim they had answered all security criticisms of the bill — and it helped them rush the bill through the Senate, 68 votes to 32 votes, in June 2013.

In reality, the Hoeven-Corker amendment was a magicians’ trick intended to divert media attention from the legal loopholes in the bill, and the economic shift caused the bill’s deliberate inflation of the labor supply.

For example, the bill did not prevent the catch and release of migrants at the border, did not close the “Unaccompanied Alien Child” loophole, and did not protect American graduates from visa worker outsourcing. In fact, the bill allowed an unlimited supply of foreign college graduates into the jobs needed by American graduates, even as it promised to build just 350 miles of a claimed border wall.

The trick amendment was named after two GOP senators who claimed to be saving Americans from illegal migration — the now-retired Sen. Bob Corker from Tennessee and the still-incumbent Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND).

Most importantly, the Hoeven-Corker trick helped Democrats and reporters keep the public’s attention away from the money that would have been sucked from Americans’ wages and shifted over to investors’ stock portfolios.

A last-minute, little-mentioned report by the Congressional Budget Office revealed that the Gang of Eight amnesty bill would have reduced wage earners’ share of new national income and would have increased the share that went to investors.

Those investors included Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who was a major advocate of the 2013 bill and is now backing the planned 2021 bill.

“The bill would increase the rate of growth of the labor force, [so] average wages would be held down in the first decade after enactment,” the CBO report said. The flood of immigrant labor would boost corporate sales and revenues, and so spike the stock market, the CBO report said.

“The rate of return on capital would be higher [than on labor] under the legislation than under current law throughout the next two decades,” according to the report titled “The Economic Impact of S. 744.”

The same point about the supply, demand, and wages of American labor was repeated in a January 2020 CBO report: “Among people with less education, a large percentage are foreign-born. Consequently, immigration has exerted downward pressure on the wages of relatively low-skilled workers who are already in the country, regardless of their birthplace.”

Many polls show that cheap labor migration is deeply unpopular because Americans know that it is used by companies to displace Americans and to cut their wages.

Economists recognize that migration moves money from employees to employers, from families to investors, from young to old, from children to their parents, from homebuyers to real estate investors, and from the heartland states to the coastal states that are home to many investors and Democratic donors.

That economic transfer has shriveled the wealth and health of many red states, and so helped Donald Trump defeat the GOP establishment and get elected in 2016. The same economic shift boosted Trump’s support among working-class whites, blacks, and Latinos in 2020.

The multiracialcross-sexnonracistclass-based opposition to cheap labor migration coexists with generally favorable personal feelings toward legal immigrants and toward immigration in theory — despite the media magnification of many skewed polls and articles that still push the 1950’s “Nation of Immigrants” claim.

However, establishment journalists have ignored the evidence of deep and broad opposition to cheap labor migration — and the inflow of temporary contract workers — into the jobs young and old Americans need. Similarly, the reports by the Los Angeles Times and Politico ignored the huge economic impact of migration.

But few politicians believe the pro-amnesty tales offered by lobbyists, donors, and reporters — partly because Senate Democrats lost a net five Senate seats after Sen. Chuck Schumer, (D-NY), pushed the 2013 amnesty through the Senate.

That disastrous mistake by Schumer and his media allies kept the Democrats in the minority for six years — and it also persuaded the American public to back Donald Trump in 2016.

In contrast, GOP House Leader Rep. John Boehner bottled up Schumer’s amnesty in 2014, kept control of the House in 2014, and so provided Trump’s GOP with clear majorities in the House and Senate throughout 2017 and 2018.

But Boehner’s pro-migration successor, House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan, lost Boehner’s Houe majority in 2018 after opposing Trump’s populist agenda.

Many Democrats know their proposed amnesty is very unpopular. Politico reported January 15:

Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) said a “piecemeal” approach is not an option. “The administration has a very limited window of opportunity before House members begin running for reelection,” she said. “Every day that passes is a day that the window shuts just an inch more…We’ve got to get it done in one fell swoop.”

On January 19, GOP senators will have a chance to slow Biden’s amnesty push when they hold a confirmation hearing with Alejandro Mayorkas, who was nominated by Biden to run the Department of Homeland Security.

The Mayorkas hearing is being chaired by Sen. Rob Portman R-OH) and also includes Sen. Josh Hawley (D-MO) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL).

Mexico's infamous drug cartels control access to the border mostly from the Mexican side, and they collect crossing fees for every illegal immigrant who passes. No fees, no crossing, and anyone who tries without paying ends up in mass grave. Mexico is full of incidents like these for those who failed to pay the cartels to cross the border. A border surge will be increased "business" for the cartels, including a hiring spree of more cartel soldiers, and huge upswings in cartel profits. When cartel profits get large, the cartels have more money to pay off judges and politicians, and if the profits are really large, challenge the government. Lucky Mexico.

Joe Biden's big amnesty plan stuns even the open-borders activists for its 'boldness' and 'ambition'

If anyone thought the low-legitimacy Joe Biden presidency was going to be a tip-toe unity caretaker operation, they had another thing coming.

Biden's getting right to work on a huge, unpopular amnesty plan to reward an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants with instant green cards and a "right" to citizenship after a mere eight years. He's cynically planning to put it in place with the expectation that Congress will swing to the Republicans in 2022, based on public opposition.

According to Politico (emphasis mine):

Biden has said he plans to “immediately” introduce an immigration bill after taking office on Wednesday. And top Latino and immigrant advocacy groups who’ve seen details of the coming package said they were stunned by the boldness of Biden’s plan.

On Thursday, Biden, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, policy advisers and three Latino Cabinet nominees met with advocates to outline the president-elect’s immigration, coronavirus and economic agendas.

Hector Sanchez Barba, head of Mi Familia Vota, who has criticized Biden on immigration policy in the past, wouldn’t share specific details discussed in the private meeting. Still, he said, Biden’s plan “is the most aggressive agenda that I have seen on immigration reform from day one — not only the legislative package, but also executive orders.”

In the meeting, Susan Rice, who will lead Biden’s Domestic Policy Council, was adamant that the incoming administration wasn’t about to introduce comprehensive immigration reform to simply let it sit on a shelf, said Jess Morales Rocketto, executive director of Care in Action.

“We were totally floored by the immigration plan and the level of clarity,” she said.

According to the Los Angeles Times:

Both Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris have said their legislative proposal would include a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants in the U.S. without legal status, and The Times has confirmed the bold opening salvo that the new administration plans in its first days doesn’t include the “security first” political concessions of past efforts.

Three things make it hugely problematic and the first two of them are unintended consequences, a specialty of Joe's, the man Robert Gates called "wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." The third, of course, is very likely intentional.

First, the prospect of nearly instant citizenship is very likely to trigger a border surge. Legal immigration lines can take ten or twenty years to get through, and cost immigrants thousands of dollars in fees. Illegal immigrants, by contrast, will get through cost-free, beyond the expenses they to cartel human smugglers. What's more, the whole process will be completed to the U.S. citizenship level in a very convenient eight-year time-frame, which just happens to be the length of a second Biden term. Who the heck would want to immigrate legally with such a Biden offer? Legal immigration to the U.S. would be a fool's errand, given the rewards held out to illegal aliens. That in turn will pretty well dismantle any semblance of rule of law through the legal immigration process. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services government agency will become essentially useless, as will any effort to enforce border law. Customs and Border Protection agents will lay back like blue city police agencies, refuse to stick their necks out on calls, and think about their pensions.

Two, a border surge in turn would destabilize Mexico and all the feeder countries likely to be sending their surplus populations.

Start with Central America, though there will undoubtedly be African and Asian nations sending surges of people, too. In Central America's case at this point, the people coming will not be surplus population, they'll be seed-corn population. Countries like Guatemala and El Salvador have already exported too many people of prime working age to the U.S, leaving these countries low-growth shells that are unlikely to see normal economic growth. These countries literally cannot afford to send millions of new emigrants to the U.S. given their own needs. And with these nations exchanging their talent base for cold inanimate remittances, the inevitable result will be what the IMF has noted of failed remittance economies: Underdevelopment.

Second, let's look at Cuba and Venezuela: The nations there are socialist hellholes whose policies literally drive people out. People leaving amounts to a pressure valve reduced, and that benefits those governments, reducing potential for internal dissent. That in turn permits them to operate as they do, with zero concern for changing their ways. Biden's new open borders policy will effectively entrench those socialist hellholes as migrants from those countries flood into the U.S. The Venezuelans in particular can be expected to come, given that other Latin American countries are getting resistant to them and shutting their doors. Though most are just pitiful, some have brought in enough crime and social disintegration to harden perceptions.

Now let's move onto Mexico: There's a myth in the U.S. that the U.S and Mexico have a free and open unguarded border. That's nonsense. There may be a lack of U.S. enforcement at the border but rest assured, power abhors a vacuum. With the U.S. barely present there is a group guarding entrance to the border and it's not a pretty picture. Mexico's infamous drug cartels control access to the border mostly from the Mexican side, and they collect crossing fees for every illegal immigrant who passes. No fees, no crossing, and anyone who tries without paying ends up in mass grave. Mexico is full of incidents like these for those who failed to pay the cartels to cross the border. A border surge will be increased "business" for the cartels, including a hiring spree of more cartel soldiers, and huge upswings in cartel profits. When cartel profits get large, the cartels have more money to pay off judges and politicians, and if the profits are really large, challenge the government. Lucky Mexico.

And let's not forget the people themselves, the would-be migrants responding to the dinner triangle rang by Joe for all the supposedly free goodies. Illegal immigration is often a horrible thing for emigrants given the many ways they get exploited. Last September, a movie called "America's Forgotten" came out by Indian-American filmmaker Namrata Singh Gujral on the illegal immigrant trade. She began the project with a neutral perspective and by the end of it was horrified:

According to Newsweek (and be sure to read the whole thing):

One scene shows a clip from the Democratic presidential debates where the moderator says, "Raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants," and all of the candidates lift their hands, including eventual nominee Joe Biden.

The documentary then cuts to "coyotes" who use video of that debate moment to encourage Mexicans to hire them to escort them illegally across the border, where they'll get health care, food stamps and other benefits, they are told. Then the film shows "Maria"—who uses an assumed name to keep her safe—explaining how, during her trek to the U.S. border, she was "sold" multiple times by various coyotes and ultimately was kidnapped by a drug cartel.

She was raped five times a day for two months. It's just sick. We had to stop shooting a few times because she was beside herself crying," Gujral, a registered Democrat, told Newsweek.

And this is just a snippet of the horrors of the illegal immigrant trade.

The only beneficiary here is Joe Biden and his open borders lobby.

They seek to blur the distinction between foreigner and citizen and legal and illegal. From the LA Times:

“What we don’t want is to militarize the border,” he said. “We don’t want to demonize and dehumanize and criminalize an immigration process.”

 As for Biden himself, the aim of course is to create Democrat voters. There is a precedent for this, it was done in 2004, by Venezuela's socialist president, Hugo Chavez, who "nationalized" more than a million illegal immigrants in Venezuela just in time to get them to vote for him in his recall referendum of that year.

According to Miguel Octavio, writing in The Devil's Excrement blog on Venezuela at the time:

In March
2004 when the Presidential Recall Referendum (RR) process was in its way the
Electoral Registry (RE) had 12,394,109 voters. In a multi-tiered campaign that
Chavez called “Batalla de Santa Ines” a big push was made to add new
voters to the RE. That’s how the Misiones were created: Mision Robinson, Mision
Ribas, Mision Vuelvan Caras, Mision Barrio
Adentro, Mercal, Mision Milagro, Mision Identidad, Mision Zamora, etc. http://www.gobiernoenlinea.ve/miscelaneas/misiones.html.
A variety of public assistance efforts offering anything from food, health
care, education, land, temporary jobs and of course money.

Particularly
Mision Identidad offered foreigners living in Venezuela a fast-track
nationalization, no questions asked, as long as they showed support for Chavez.
Everyone that benefited from the �misiones� was registered in the Maisanta
database and if they were not already part of the RE they were immediately
entered in a joint effort between the CNE and the ONI-DEX (the National Identification
Office). By July 2004 the RE had grown to 14,037,900 an incredible 1,643,791
new voters or 13% in just 4 months.

In August
15th, 2004 Chavez won a widely denounced Referendum with 60%-40% advantage that
in the exit polls showed as 40%-60% against him.

According to this University of Cologne study:

Criticisms of the campaign included the allegation that naturalizing hundreds of thousands of formerly undocumented immigrants tampered with the foundation of political representation.

Which sounds like Joe Biden's plan, too. Joe Biden is widely believed by the public to be in power in the U.S. through Venezuela-like election fraud, the signs of it are abundant all over. His immigration plan sounds remarkably like Venezuela's too. Biden seems to be taking Venezuela's hideous immigration story not as a cautionary tale but as a how-to guide. 

The worst of it is its cynicism. Biden expects to get the whole thing done before his party can be thrown out as a consequence of all the anti-American things it plans to do. Even Politico found a Democrat congresswoman who admitted that this was precisely the Biden plan:

Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) said a “piecemeal” approach is not an option. “The administration has a very limited window of opportunity before House members begin running for reelection,” she said. “Every day that passes is a day that the window shuts just an inch more...We’ve got to get it done in one fell swoop.”

Rather than changing course to make the whole thing palatable to the public and consider U.S. citizens' interests, Biden means to charge on through, against the people's will, and let the chips in Congress fall where they may. He sure as heck is acting like a guy for whom public opinion doesn't matter. That generally happens with people who weren't elected legitimately.


Joe Biden Weighs Amnesty Plan for Illegal Aliens in Meeting with Open Borders Lobby

President-elect Joe Biden is laying the groundwork for an amnesty for 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States, meeting with open borders lobbying groups and sanctuary city politicians to discuss a legislative strategy.

On Thursday, Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris met with a handful of cabinet nominees, executives with open borders lobbying groups, and sanctuary city politicians about “his day one plans to introduce immigration reform legislation and protect DACA recipients,” according to a readout of the meeting.

Biden’s meeting included Xavier Becerra, his nominee to lead Health and Human Services (HHS), who as California attorney general has implemented one of the strictest sanctuary state policies in the nation — even going as far as to say the state would prosecute employers who cooperate with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.

The meeting also included Los Angeles, California Mayor Eric Garcetti, who oversees a sanctuary city policy that frees back into the community hundreds of criminal illegal aliens every week from local jails.

Alida Garcia with Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us attended the meeting. As Breitbart News has chronicled, FWD.us is one of the leading pressure groups to expand the number of foreign visa workers that corporations are allowed to import to take high-paying, white-collar U.S. jobs.

Other executives with the open borders lobbying groups in attendance included:

  • Sindy Benavides, President of LULAC
  • Alida Garcia, Vice President of Advocacy of FWD.us
  • Domingo Garcia, Board Chair, LULAC
  • Maria Teresa Kumar, President & CEO of Voto Latino
  • Henry R. Munoz III, co-Founder of Latino Victory
  •  BLOG EDITOR:UNIDOSUS IS FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE RACIST LA RAZA SUPREMACIST PARTY 
  • Janet Murguia, President of UnidosUS
  • Nathalie Rayes, President & CEO of Latino Victory Fund
  • Tom Saenz, President of MALDEF
  • Hector Sanchez, President of Mi Familia Vota

The business lobby, which regularly seeks an expansion of legal immigration levels to widen profit margins by cutting U.S. wages, was represented by an executive with the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Biden’s advisers have already begun meeting with House Democrats to talk about a legislative pathway for an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. Aside from an amnesty that would burden 18 million jobless Americans with increased foreign competition in the U.S. labor market, Biden is eyeing an end to President Trump’s reforms at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The plans include ending the Centers for Disease Control’s Title 42 order and Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, which ensures that federal immigration officials can return border crossers to their native countries within hours and forces Mexico to house asylum applicants so they are not released into the interior of the U.S.

Bush, Obama DHS Chiefs Praise Joe Biden’s DHS Nominee

Four former homeland security chiefs have endorsed President-elect Joe Biden’s nominee for homeland security because he helped deliver work permits to roughly 800,000 illegal migrants.

“We each know [nominee Alejandro] Mayorkas as a man of character, integrity, experience and compassion … he helped create and administer the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals [DACA] program,” said the January 12 Washington Post op-ed by former DHS secretaries Tom Ridge, Michael Chertoff, Janet Napolitano, and Jeh Johnson.

The DACA program provided work permits to roughly 800,000 illegal migrants during the post-2008 economic recession, even as many millions of Americans had lost jobs, wages, and homes. 

“The president-elect could not have found a more qualified person to be the next homeland security secretary,” said the four former secretaries, all of whom worked for Presidents George W. Bush or President Barack Obama — despite evidence of multiple scandals in Mayorkas’ record.

“The swampiest of the swamp,” responded John Miano, a lawyer with the Immigration Law Reform Institute, who is suing to block some of Mayorkas’ pre-2017 policies. “Bush, Obama, Biden, it’s all the same cast of characters, destroying working Americans from the beginning, and they’re now getting back into power,” he said.

Mayorkas faces a fast-track confirmation hearing on January 19 before several GOP members, including Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Mitt Romney of Utah, and Rick Scott of Florida.

When Mayorkas worked for Obama, “everything that came out of his office was to screw working Americans,” said Miano, whose lawsuits against Mayorkas’ cheap labor policies are still being passed back and forth among judges who do not want to rule against the visa worker programs. “That’s what we expect we’re going to be seeing from the Biden administration.”

The four secretaries will likely portray their op-ed as a favor to Mayorkas that can be repaid to clients by Mayorkas if he is confirmed, Miano added.

The four former DHS secretaries will have many opportunities to trade favors, in part, because they have been active supporters of the unpopular work visa programs, which allow CEOs to replace American graduates with cheap and compliant foreign workers. 

For example, Chertoff recently defended the visa worker programs that have pushed at least one million American graduates out of jobs. “I happen to believe there is a place for legal migration, and for people to be coming in temporarily with a visa to do work that Americans need to have done and that will not be done by American citizens,” he told Axios on December 18.

Until August 1, Napolitano was the chancellor of the huge Univerity of California system that opposed curbs on the award of visas and work permits to the foreign customers of the universities via the huge Optional Practical Training program that Chertoff helped to create.

Their op-ed denounced Trump’s DHS political priorities — which include the protection of Americans’ labor markets — saying, “DHS should not be beholden to a president’s political agenda; it exists for the protection of the American people on land, at sea, in the air and in cyberspace.”

The pro-migration agenda shared by the four authors and Mayorkas is being applauded by many establishment figures, including the multi-billion dollar widow of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Inc.

Migration is a boon for wealthy Americans because it moves money from employees to employers, from families to investors, from young to old, from children to their parents, from homebuyers to real estate investors, and from the central states to the coastal states.

Migration also allows investors and CEOs to skimp on labor-saving technology, sideline U.S. minorities, ignore disabled peopleexploit stoop labor in the fields, shortchange labor in the cities, impose tight control and pay cuts on American professionals.

Migration also helps corral technological innovation by minimizing the employment of American graduates, undermine  Americans’ labor rights, and redirect progressive journalists to cheerlead for Wall Street’s priorities and claims.

“The fact we have all these swamp creatures supporting him,” said Miano, “should tell us that he is an agent of the establishment who will screw the average working American.”
