THE DOCTRINE OF THE N.A.F.T.A. GLOBALIST DEMOCRATS IS TO SERVE THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS WITH ENDLESS WAVES OF INVADING 'CHEAP' LABOR SUBSIDIZED WITH WELFARE FUNDED BY TAXES ON MIDDLE AMERICA.
In many speeches, Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elites’ opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.
Saudi Arabia has executed a young man over his reported involvement in anti-government protests when he was a teenager, human rights groups said Tuesday.
The Saudi Ministry of the Interior announced that Mustafa al-Darwish, 26, had been executed, according to Reprieve.
Al-Darwish's family received no advance notice of his death and only learned that he had been executed by reading the news online, the UK-based non-profit organization said.
Al-Darwish was arrested in May 2015 and charged with offenses related to his participation in protests - many of which occurred when he was 17 years old, according to Reprieve.
According to Reprieve, al-Darwish was placed in solitary confinement and "beaten so badly that he lost consciousness several times."
"To make the torture stop, he confessed to the charges against him," Reprieve said.
Amnesty International, which had called for the execution to be halted last week, said al-Darwish was "the latest victim of Saudi Arabia's deeply flawed justice system which regularly sees people sentenced to death after grossly unfair trials based on confessions extracted through torture."
Al-Darwish recanted his confession at his trial, explaining to the court that he had been tortured, but he was still sentenced to death, Reprieve said.
Al-Darwish's family called his arrest and execution a "living death" for relatives.
"How can they execute a boy because of a photograph on his phone?" the family said in a statement through Reprieve. "Since his arrest, we have known nothing but pain."
The man's family said al-Darwish was arrested with two friends in Tarout six years ago. He was released without charge, but police kept his phone, the family said.
"We later found out that there was a photograph on the phone that offended them," the family added. "Later they called us and told Mustafa to come and collect his phone, but instead of giving it back they detained him and our suffering began."
Ali al-Dubaisy, the director of the European Saudi Organization for Human Rights, said the sudden execution for crimes as a teen exposed Saudi leader Mohammed Bin Salman's "endless empty promises of reform."
"Once again the Saudi authorities have shown that their claims to abolished the death penalty for children are worthless," al-Dubaisy added.
REALITY CHECK: THERE ARE MORE THAN 50 MILLION ILLEGALS OPERATING IN AMERICA'S OPEN BORDERS. NOW DO THE MATH.
The proposal comes as President Joe Biden’s administration has put forth an amnesty plan that would allow nearly the entire illegal alien population — between 11 and 22 million foreign nationals — to eventually obtain American citizenship.
New York’s Mayoral Rivals Vow Cheap Housing Plus More Migrants
New York City politicians are promising billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies to push down housing costs they are pushing up by supporting illegal migration into the city.
“New York Has a Housing Crisis,” said the June 13 headline in the New York Times, above an article describing how pro-migration mayoral candidates are trying to reduce housing costs:
Mr. [Andrew] Yang and Mr. [Shaun] Donovan said they would spend billions of dollars a year to build or preserve 30,000 [housing] units meant for families in a range of incomes.
…
For many candidates, investing in the housing authority, or NYCHA, is crucial to helping the poorest New Yorkers. Ms. [Maya] Wiley and Mr. Donovan said they would borrow and spend $2 billion a year in city money to improve public housing; Mr. [Raymond] McGuire and Mr. [Scott] Stringer said they would borrow and spend up to $1.5 billion.
“Immigration drives uphousing prices,” responded Steven A. Camarota, the research director at the Center for Immigration Studies. “There’s no question that landlords have a vested interest in driving up demand [by boosting migration], and then seeking subsidies to make everything affordable, meaning subsidies from taxpayers,” he said.
New York City has a population of roughly 8.4 million people, of whom at least one million are illegal immigrants. New York state has a population of 4.4 million legal or illegal migrants.
Overall, legal and illegal immigrants comprise more than 40 percent of the city’s working population — and a much larger share of the lower-wage service employees who support the city’s elite banking and investment sectors.
The state and city are already spending heavily to keep their population of wage-cutting, rent-raising migrants. In April, the state’s budget included $2.1 billion in subsidies for roughly 187,000 illegal migrants, plus $2.3 billion in federal funds for American renters who have not been able to pay their migration-inflated rents.
“The big winners in this [migration and subsidy] process are the owners of apartments and housing for immigrants,” Camarota said. “They get an increased demand [from migrants], and they get increased subsidies [from the city].”
“But if you’re a low-income American … it completely undermines what you’re striving for,” he said. “If the government makes [renting] ten percent more affordable, and if immigration drives prices up percent, you’re no better off — if you’re a renter.”
Those housing problems also make it harder for urban Americans to have children, he said.
Nationally, U.S. real estate is worth roughly $32.6 trillion, Real Estate Weekly reported July 2o20. The valuation is spiked by the presence of 45 million legal immigrants and illegal migrants — especially in the Democrat-run coastal cities favored by migrants and investors.
The article added:
New York has the most valuable real estate in the U.S. at $2.8 trillion — slightly more than the entire GDP of the United Kingdom for 2019. In fact, this is greater than the GDP of all but just five countries — India, Germany, Japan, China and the United States. The value of New York is comparable to the combined market value of tech giants Apple and Microsoft.
A sudden migration can boost housing prices by eight percent for every 1 percent increase in a city’s population, says an October 2020 academic paper. A New Zealand bank also predicted a 1:8 price spike from migration.
Nationwide, the rise in real-estate value creates much wealth in the high-migration coastal cities, according to the data in the Real Estate Weekly article:
The Federal Reserve values total residential real estate owned by households at $32.9 trillion. We found that the top 10 cities account for nearly 36% of that value. The top 50 add up to about 66% (or two-thirds) of the total … The least valuable metro was Battle Creek, Mich., with real estate valued at $989 million.
This link between migration and real estate values boosts the big cities in Democratic-run coastal states by draining investment, wages, wealth, and young Americans from the heartland states. The losers include Sen. Shelley Capito’s West Virginia and also many of the smaller cities and towns in prosperous states.
Many additional factors are buffeting real-estate prices in New York. For example, the coronavirus disaster pushed people out of the city and allowed rents to drop in well-off districts. Similarly, the Internet allows people to work from distant homes, so reducing the value of downtown office and retail property.
City officials do little to recruit Americans to migrate from inside the United States, such as Ohio, Kentucky, or Sen. Joe Manchin‘s West Virginia. Instead of competing for young Americans educated in other states, they prefer to extract legal — and illegal — migrants from poor countries, such as Mexico or Guatemala. For example, the Wall Street Journalreported in September 2020:
“I am worried that declining rates of international immigration will hurt not only future economic growth in New York City but the stability of New York City’s tax base,” said Michael Hendrix, director of state and local policy at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank.
“The main driver of both new business formation and population growth in New York has historically been international immigration,” says a September 2020 Axios.com article. “So long as [international] immigration remains suppressed, New York will suffer,” says the article, which was titled “The math of New York City’s recovery.”
The city’s leaders welcome foreign migrants because most are compliant and diligent workers, in part because even poverty in New York is a step up from their homelands. Their acceptance of poverty helps to push down local wages. The foreign migrants also push up rents as they crowd themselves into small apartments, basements, and illegally subdivided rooms near their service-sector jobs.
In April 2020, Joseph Salvo, New York City’s chief demographer, told the New York Times why the city needs new bodies to replace the legal and illegal migrants who exited the city during the coronavirus crash:
In the pandemic, [migrants] are trying to make a living and coming home and living in close proximity to other people. And they work the cash-only jobs, service jobs, services in buildings, home health aides, that we start to lose. Our growth is going to depend on giving support to these immigrants, many of whom suffered and lost family members.
…
What we pray will happen is that the city will come back with a ferocity we have never seen in food, beverage, entertainment and hotels. All of that is going to come back. And hopefully the immigrant population will prosper because of that. That’s the key.
The pandemic has drastically deepened debt for New York’s low-income renters, people who were teetering even before the outbreak and who have been hanging on thanks to an eviction moratorium that is set to expire this summer, according to a report released Wednesday by the New York University Furman Center.
…
For Ana Galvez, 38, a longtime resident of a six-story walk-up in the Melrose section of the Bronx, last year was the first time in a decade that she has been unable to catch up on rent payments.
Ms. Galvez lost her job in the kitchen of a Brooklyn restaurant in February 2020, at the start of the pandemic. She supports two daughters, a 9-year-old in New York and a 19-year-old in Mexico, who she hasn’t seen since leaving the country 15 years ago.
Galvez owes up to $25,000, does not speak English, and relies on foodbanks plus the cash she earns by selling food from a shopping cart, according to the New York Times.
The squalor and homelessness are especially obvious in Los Angeles, and increasingly, among the native-born Americans in the sprawling city who have been pushed out of jobs and careers by economic migrants from impoverished countries.
“It’s clear that cities like New York and San Francisco struggle to have housing for middle and lower-income people, and our immigration policies are making that situation worse,” Camarota said.
At the southern border, a DACA amnesty has the potential to trigger a border surge that could triple the number of illegal aliens pouring through the border. Since DACA’s inception, more than 2,100 recipients of the program have been kicked off because they were found to either be criminals or gang members.
Koch Network: Congress Must ‘Immediately Prioritize’ Amnesty for DACA Illegal Aliens
The Koch brothers’ network of donor class organizations is lobbying Congress to “immediately prioritize” amnesty for millions of illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
In a statement marking the anniversary of former President Barack Obama’s DACA program — allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to remain in the United States — the Kochs’ Libre Initiative released a statement asking lawmakers to immediately pass an amnesty.
“The time for Congress to act is now, full stop,” the statement reads:
And the only way to ensure that another ten years don’t pass us by without action on this critical issue is for lawmakers to work together on a permanent legislative solution for Dreamers. Policymakers should not look to the Courts or to the executive branch for relief, but should instead immediately prioritize this issue that has broad bipartisan support from the American people. [Emphasis added]
In May, the Koch network joined former President George W. Bush’s coalition to lobby lawmakers to pass amnesty for illegal aliens along with other corporate interests like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Business Roundtable, the Bloomberg-funded New American Economy, the Texas Association of Business, and taxpayer-funded refugee contractors.
The amnesty plan touted by the Koch network aligns the organization with President Joe Biden’s priorities on immigration.
In an address to Congress months ago, Biden touted his amnesty for 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States while also urging Congress to pass two other amnesties: One for potentially 4.4 million illegal aliens and another for 2.1 million illegal aliens working on farms.
A DACA amnesty would put more U.S.-born children of illegal aliens — commonly referred to as “anchor babies” — on federal welfare, as Breitbart News reported, while American taxpayers would be left potentially with a $26 billion bill.
Additionally, about one-in-five DACA illegal aliens, after an amnesty, would end up on food stamps, while at least one-in-seven would go on Medicaid.
At the southern border, a DACA amnesty has the potential to trigger a border surge that could triple the number of illegal aliens pouring through the border. Since DACA’s inception, more than 2,100 recipients of the program have been kicked off because they were found to either be criminals or gang members.

70 Percent of Migrants in May Entered Texas-Based Border Sectors
Nearly 70 percent of the 172,011 migrants apprehended at the U.S. southern border crossed into the five Texas-based Border Patrol sectors. Governor Greg Abbott (R) recently announced sweeping new law enforcement and border security actions late last week at a summit in Del Rio.
Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, Del Rio, Big Bend, and El Paso Sectors apprehended 118,036 of the 172,011 (68.6 percent) migrants in May, according to the May Southwest Land Border Encounters report released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection late Wednesday night. In year-to-date figures, agents apprehended 605,133 of the 897,213 (67 percent) since October 1, 2020.

Because of changes put in place by the Biden Administration, Abbott announced an aggressive plan where the State of Texas will erect border barriers and begin “mass arrests” of migrants who violate state laws.
In a one-on-one interview with Breitbart Texas shortly before the kickoff of the governor’s border security summit on June 10, Abbot said, “The Biden Administration’s policies are the most reckless, reprehensible, and dangerous of any president I’ve ever seen.”
“The influx across the border is out of control, and the Biden Administration has shown that is not going to step up and do its job,” the governor stated. “And, amidst reports of even more people coming in across the border, we know we have to step up and do more.”
The governor said authorities will use existing authorities under a State of Emergency declaration to crack down on those illegally crossing the border.
“If you come to Texas, you’re subject to being arrested,” Abbott stated. “You’re not going to have a pathway to roam the country. You’re going to have a pathway directly into a jail cell.”

Abbott said he will immediately expand the previously enacted Operation Lone Star where he said Texas law enforcement and National Guardsmen have already arrested more than 1,500 migrants and referred another 35,000 to Border Patrol agents.
“It’s clear that that’s not enough to deter the flow,” the governor said. “And so, the State will provide many more resources, but we need to understand that just providing more resources alone is not going to be enough. We need to provide new strategies, new tools to address these challenges.”
One of those strategies is the “immediate” placement of new border barriers to be put in place by the State of Texas. The State identified many locations where migrants can easily walk across unsecured sections of the border and enter the private property along the Rio Grande.
“Immediately, we will put up barriers there,” Abbott explained. “One reason to do that is that if they move or interfere with that barrier, they have committed several (state) crimes.”
“One is they’ve committed criminal mischief, as well as vandalism of state property or local government property,” Abbott continued. “And that barrier is information to them that if they cross that barrier, they have trespassed.”
“We want to be very aggressive in working with local officials and begin making mass arrests,” Abbott stated. “In working in collaboration with a large number of counties — that means we’re going to be arresting a lot more people.”
“In the end, only the federal government and Congress can fix this, but as it stands right now, the state of Texas is going to step up and we’re going to start making arrests — sending a message to anybody thinking about coming here, you’re not going to get a free pass to the U.S. They’re getting a straight pass to a jail cell.”
