While more than a million jobs have been lost in New York and an estimated 80,000 New York businesses may not make it to the end of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) is negotiating a plan to provide $2.1 billion worth of taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens and convicted felons.

Sources told the New York Post this week that Cuomo, along with New York State Democrats, is negotiating a $2.1 billion fund where at least 187,000 illegal aliens and 87,000 felons could receive taxpayer-funded unemployment benefits that mirror state and federal benefits.

“It makes no sense to send billions of taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants and convicted felons,” state Sen. Daphne Jordan (R-NY) told the Post.

Illegal alien and felon recipients could receive up to $28,600 a year thanks to the taxpayer-funded benefits, according to analysts. Weekly, illegal aliens and felons could receive $500 a week. For those unemployed since March 2020, recipients could receive on average $12,600.

Recipients, should the taxpayer-funded program be included in the state budget, could also become secure medical coverage paid for by New York’s public health insurance program.

Illegal aliens already enjoy protection from federal immigration law in New York thanks to the state’s sanctuary policy while those accused of violent crime receive regular aid via Cuomo’s bail initiative that frees them from jail almost immediately after being arrested.

Those benefiting from the bail initiative include suspects accused of second-degree manslaughter, aggravated vehicular assault, third-degree assault, promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child, criminally negligent homicide, aggravated vehicular homicide, and about 100 other crimes.

New York, and particularly New York City, has been ravaged by Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio’s (D) economic lockdown measures that have now been in place for more than a year. Historic venues, hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, and local neighborhood spots have had to close their doors for good as a result of the lockdowns.

Those forced to close include The Roosevelt hotel in Midtown East that opened in 1924, the Copacabana nightclub which opened in 1940, The Paris Cafe which opened in 1873, and Empire Coffee & Tea which opened in 1908 among hundreds of others.

Sen. Joe Manchin Endorses Cheap-Labor Amnesty – ‘For the Children’

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin said Thursday he would support a 2021 amnesty.

The statement was made at a migrant shelter in Laredo, Texas, and his comments closely matched the talking points provided by wealth investor groups. For example, Manchin played up the concerns of foreign children while ignoring the economic concerns of West Virginians.

Manchin announced his support as he warned more migrants are on their way to the border:

I’ll go back to Washington, I’ll be able to speak to the President … [I] will be able to speak to our colleagues and explain that ‘it is beyond time, past time to do immigration reform.

Immigration reform should be a pathway to citizenship. People have been here — they might have come here the wrong way but they came here for the right reason. They’ve been here, they’ve been productive. We have children that came here, that have no other home but America.

“I certainly believe Joe Biden is the one person who can put the compassion to doing this and doing it right. I truly believe that,” he added.

Manchin said the amnesty is needed to help the migrant children, it will not lead to an increase in crime, and the border can be protected by technology.

Manchin’s lurch towards amnesty is important, partly because it could give Democrats a 50th vote for amnesty — and an excuse to weaken the Senate’s filibuster rules that preserve the political power of small states in the Congress.

Manchin offered no economic and pragmatic reason for endorsing an amnesty, which suggests that he is facing massive lobbying pressure from his fellow Democrats and from the pro-migration business groups. Many amnesty advocates are seeking to reduce the labor-market power of Americans under an imported flood of many extra hard-working but low-wage workers, who also spur the economy as taxpayer-aided consumers, and high-occupancy renters.

Any amnesty would have a huge economic impact, in part, because it would be packaged with a further immigration expansion that would reduce wage levels and minimize the incentives for coastal investors to create jobs in lower-status West Virginia communities.

“Everybody loses — except for the stakeholders, which are the different leaders and money people and companies that are lined up behind this thing,” said Bill Gheen, founder of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC. “American citizens — white-collar, blue-collar, white, black, and Hispanic — all will suffer terrible consequences,” he told Breitbart News.

The impact of cheap-labor migration on investors’ job-creation plans is highlighted by a report at an economic research site, SSTI.org. The report shows late-stage venture capital investments clustered in the states where investors and their new workers — legal and illegal migrants — prefer to live. For example, in the last three months of 2020, investors made investment deals worth roughly $2,028 per person in California, $936 per person in New York, $167 per person in Pennsylvania, $128 per person in Ohio, $52 per person in Kentucky — and 55 cents per person in West Virginia, which is ranked among the poorest states in the union.

Instead of talking about voters’ primary worries about jobs and wages, Manchin’s talking points echoed the poll-tested advice of pro-migration investors, such as those pushed by Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us lobby group, which urged politicians to avoid any mention of money, jobs, or wages while promoting amnesty bills.

For example, a March 9 FWD.us-funded polling memo advised worried legislators that:

It is better to focus on all of the aforementioned sympathetic details of those affected [by an amnesty] than to make economic arguments, including arguments about wages or demand for labor. As we have seen in the past, talking about immigrants doing jobs Americans won’t do is not a helpful frame, and other economic arguments are less effective than what is recommended above.

“Adapting family separation messaging to the debate over citizenship is our most resonant message,” the FWD.us-funded memo said.

Manchin’s statement was quickly endorsed by Todd Schulte, the president of Zuckerberg’s FWD.us group:

Many Democratic and GOP politicians recognize that any amnesty may be very unpopular with swing voters. Numerous polls show that Americans say they want to welcome migrants — but overwhelmingly oppose labor migration that threatens Americans’ jobs and wages. In 2014, for example, after the Democrats pushed the Gang of Eight amnesty through the Senate, they lost five seats — and helped trigger Donald Trump’s run for the presidency.

In Laredo, Manchin argued that an amnesty will reduce suffering for foreign migrants, although he said nothing about how more cheap labor might impact his already-poor West Virginian constituents.

Foreign criminal gangs are “preying on human suffering, which is intolerable — should be — to all of us. How can we prevent that from happening?” he said, adding:

A lot of of our [GOP] colleagues come to the border but they don’t come as much to Laredo as they might go over to where the children shelters. That’s the one that tugs at your heart. I understand that. But think of all the criminal elements of preyed on those kids to get here. Think of all the sacrifices their families made. We should not put them in harm’s way, that should not happen. So we need to look at some of the pieces of legislation we’ve had and some of the rules we’ve had before, that have worked, some that haven’t worked.

“This is basically for the children,” Manchin said, after citing a theme of “Five Promise” that he says he often describes.

Just before he endorsed an amnesty, Manchin described the amnesty as a way to reduce crime against migrants:

Well, we’re going to have to be, what some people might interpret as being very difficult, very strong, very tough. And by being tough, we’re going to be tough on crime. We’re not going to allow crime to prosper on the backs of people or human suffering, and trying to get to this country under any condition, That’s not going to continue. We can’t let it.

Manchin suggested his constituents are unfairly afraid of migrant crime, but did not offer any border-related legal reforms to curb the growing problem that Americans do face from Mexican drug gangs:

I come from West Virginia, one of the least diverse states in the nation. There’s not a lot of mix, if you will. We have very little migrant immigration. And so the only thing that people — my constituents — will know is what they see on television … [I came here] To see see the human element and see it up close, in person, to be able to talk to [migrant] people, just a month ago who came here …..  to see how that kind of changes their lives, and they say they feel so much safer.

The scale of the Mexican drug problem was noted by a January 4 statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of West Virginia:

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – United States Attorney Mike Stuart announced today that Joel Gonzalez-Gomez, 31, of Chiapas, Mexico, was sentenced to 135 months in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine and illegal reentry of a removed alien.

“Five prior removals [from the United States]. More than a kilo of meth. 12 grams of fentanyl. 28 grams of cocaine. 3 guns,” said United States Attorney Mike Stuart.  “Gonzalez-Gomez had come into our country illegally and continued to break our laws by peddling poison.  He will now have more than 11 years in federal prison to think about the error of his ways.”

The border can be secured by technology, Manchin argued, without mentioning the prior promises about high-tech walls, or the many legal loopholes, side-doors and gaps that are used by President Joe Biden’s deputies to let many migrants walk through President Donald Trump’s useful concrete-and-steel border wall. Manchin said:

There should be basically the security of our border using all the technology that we have available. We have the most technological advances ever made before. I’ve just seen your towers and your radars and all that scanning, so much different what we had 10 years ago.

While endorsing an amnesty, Manchin suggested federal officials impose a 90-pause in migration across the border:

We’ve got a human crisis that I’m seeing here … So if that means shutting everything down for 90 days of how we have people coming to our country, sending that message that we’re not going to be taking people into this country until we get our ability to make sure we’re able to do it and do it right. Is that going to put the pressure [on Congress]? Or do we put a 90-day moratorium on ourselves to make sure we come up with a safe haven in the country so they can go there? Something has to be done and it has to be expedited.

“This problem is not going away, this problem will not cure itself,. I can assure you, and they’re coming in droves,” he added.

In 2013,  Manchin endorsed the “Gang of Eight” amnesty. “In 2013, we did an immigration bill and the Senate passed it. I was part of that,:” he said. “The Republican party didn’t take the piece of legislation, it was a good piece of legislation. It really was.”

Shortly before Manchin voted for the 2013 amnesty, a last-minute report by the Congressional Budget Office revealed that the amnesty bill would reduce wage-earners’ share of new national income and would increase the share that went to investors.

“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 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.”

FWD.us was formed in 2013 to help pass the 2013 amnesty. It is now pushing for the passage of a 2021 amnesty.

 

oe Biden Restarts Visa Programs for Companies to Outsource U.S. Jobs While 17M Americans Remain Jobless

President Joe Biden has restarted a number of visa programs, allowing United States companies to more readily outsource jobs, even as about 17 million Americans remain jobless.

In June 2020, Trump signed an executive order halting H-1B visas, H-4 visas, H-2B visas, L visas, and J-1 visas while tens of millions of Americans were jobless or underemployed due to economic lockdowns as a result of the Chinese coronavirus crisis.

At the end of 2020, Trump renewed the order to continue prioritizing Americans for U.S. jobs, though corporate interests continuously sued and lobbied for an end to the order.

On Thursday, Biden let the order expire, announcing via the State Department:

Presidential Proclamation 10052, which temporarily suspended the entry of certain H-1B, H-2B, J (for certain categories within the Exchange Visitor Program), and L nonimmigrants, expired on March 31, 2021. [Emphasis added]

Visa applicants who have not yet been interviewed or scheduled for an interview will have their applications prioritized and processed in accordance with existing phased resumption of visa services guidance. Visa applicants who were previously refused visas due to the restrictions of Presidential Proclamation 10052 may reapply by submitting a new application including a new fee. [Emphasis added]

Biden’s allowing the order to expire will mean that companies can more readily outsource U.S. jobs as they were before the coronavirus crisis hit the nation in early 2020. The move comes as about 17 million Americans remain jobless and another 6.1 million are underemployed, but all want full-time jobs with competitive wages and good benefits.

Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) had urged Biden not to flood the labor market with more foreign competition.

Kevin Lynn, the founder of U.S. Tech Workers, which represents American STEM workers and those who have had their jobs outsourced, told Breitbart News that Biden’s decision “is a kick in the teeth to workers for three reasons,” saying:

First, with 18 million people who are unemployed, underemployed or have given up looking for work, it informs us this economy has not recovered from our response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Second, the majority (roughly ¾) of the visas go to people from India, a country that is experiencing a surge in Covid-19 cases.

Lastly, according to a recently published paper by the Economic Policy Institute, the majority of the companies that employ H-1B visa holders are companies that have an outsourcing business model that displaces skilled American workers. This along with either blocking and/or delaying several of Trump’s reforms such as the Wage Level Increase Rule and H-1B Lottery Wage Selection Rule, signals it is open season on American workers their employers deem to be expensive, undeserving and expendable.

Similarly, organizers with the White-Collar Workers of America told Breitbart News that “the cheap labor lobby is way too powerful,” referencing the industry’s lobbying efforts over the last several months to restart the visa programs to more easily outsource.

Despite Biden’s decision, the latest survey from Rasmussen Reports finds that 66 percent of likely U.S. voters say it is better for businesses to raise wages and provide better benefits to recruit Americans rather than importing foreign workers — 73 percent of Republicans, 63 percent of Democrats, and 62 percent of swing voters.

Likewise, 65 percent of voters said the nation’s labor market “already has enough talented people to train and recruit for most of those jobs” and does not need more while 75 percent of voters said they want to reduce overall legal immigration levels.

There are about 650,000 H-1B visa foreign workers in the U.S. at any given moment. Americans are often laid off in the process and forced to train their foreign replacements, as highlighted by Breitbart News. More than 85,000 Americans annually potentially lose their jobs to foreign labor through the H-1B visa program.

Analysis conducted in 2018 discovered that 71 percent of tech workers in Silicon Valley, California, are foreign-born, while the tech industry in the San Francisco, Oakland, and Hayward area is made up of 50 percent foreign-born tech workers. Up to 99 percent of foreign H-1B visa workers imported by the top eight outsourcing firms arrive from India.

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

Peer-reviewed research by economist Christoph Albert acknowledges that “as immigrants accept lower wages, they are preferably chosen by firms and therefore have higher job finding rates than natives, consistent with evidence found in U.S. data.” Albert’s research also finds that immigration “raises competition” for native-born Americans in the labor market.

AMERICA'S SORRIEST JOKE: HOMELAND SECURITY

 

This Is the Number About the Border Crisis That Should Have Everyone Worried

This Is the Number About the Border Crisis That Should Have Everyone Worried

The current surge of illegal foot traffic at the U.S.-Mexico border is certainly a sight to behold when witnessed first hand. While the current number of people turning themselves over to Border Patrol is staggering there is a number that is harder to track for a much more worrisome reason.

"Got aways" are people who are known to have illegally crossed but were able to avoid apprehension by Border Patrol. The current number of "got aways" is estimated to be around 1,000 people a day, the highest in recent memory.

Former Acting U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan highlighted that number during a press conference last week with a Texas GOP House delegation at the Rio Grande.

Morgan, who is now a senior fellow and spokesman at the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), also noted there were at least 150,000 apprehensions for the month of March, up from over 100,000 in February. He said there could over 1.4 million apprehensions for the entire calendar year.

The Washington Post confirmed the number of 1,000 "got aways" a day through three CBP officials. It begs the question just who are those who don't want to be caught by Border Patrol. Since unaccompanied minors and family units are the ones who are turning themselves in after illegally crossing, the answer could be sinister as it is most likely the drug smugglers, gang members, and special interest aliens trying to enter the country. Sending families and unaccompanied minors first to tie down Border Patrol and their law enforcement partners so further evasion for others can be easier is a tactic used by the cartels.

NAFTA JOE BIDEN - MARK ZUCKERBERG AND ALL OUR PARTY'S BILLIONAIRES FOR OPEN BORDERS SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO PAY A LIVING WAGE TO AN AMERICAN - THAT IS NOW WHAT THE GLOBALIST DEMOCRAT PARTY STANDS FOR!!!

Exclusive – Report: Big Tech Employees Donated 12 Times More to Democrats than Republicans

The Internet Accountability Project (IAP) released a report showing big tech employees and corporate PACs contributed more than 12 times the money to Democrats than Republicans in 2020.

The IAP, whose mission it is to “rein in big tech before it’s too late,” discovered employees of Facebook and Twitter, compounded with their PAC donations, have contributed over $5.5 million to Democrats while contributing less than $435,000 to Republicans, a ratio of 12 to one.

A portion of the money donated to Democrats as a whole includes $72,838 to Democrats on the House Oversight Committee. Meanwhile, the Republicans who sit on the committee have only received $1,950. In terms of percentage, the committee Democrats have received 97.39 percent of total contributions compared to Republicans’ 2.61 percent. Twitter employees gave zero money to Republicans on the Oversight Committee.

Big tech’s collaboration with House Democrats has not gone unnoticed.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the top Republican on House Oversight, charged “Democrats and their Big Tech allies” of exploiting the January 6 Capitol attack to silence conservative voters, as Facebook and Twitter quickly used the event as a cover to ban former President Donald Trump from their platforms on January 8 while deeming free speech rival Parler a “viable threat” to their “dominance” over social media.

Perhaps the monetary investment bloomed when the House Oversight and Reform Committee Chair, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), wrote to Parler February 8 to request the company hand over “information related to Parler’s financing and potential ties to foreign entities,” alleging Parler had “allowed Russian disinformation to flourish on its platform prior to the November 2020 election.”

Upon the exclusive release of the report to Breitbart News, IAP’s founder and president, Mike Davis, stated, “Parler’s rising popularity made Parler a viable threat to Facebook and Twitter’s dominance over social media. So together, they colluded with Amazon to destroy Parler and used the horrific attacks on the Capitol on January 6, 2021 as a shameful excuse.”

Breitbart News reported the company’s attorneys pushed back on those allegations, stating “the Company is and always has been American-owned and controlled…,” before highlighting it was other social media companies, perhaps Facebook, which egged on the events of January 6.

“Why are Congressional Democrats on the House Oversight Committee investigating Parler? Just follow the money,” Davis said. “As just one example, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received a combined $36,346 in 2020 compared to less than $1,950 for all Republicans on the House Oversight Committee combined.”
