THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'S SOLUTION TO AMERICA'S JOBLESS, HOMELESS AND HOUSING CRISIS IS AMNESTY AND WIDER OPEN BORDERS.
For months, Democrats had hoped to slip an amnesty for illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, those employed on United States farms, those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and those deemed “essential workers” into their budget reconciliation package.
In August, a budget resolution framework put forth by Democrats revealed the amnesty would cost American taxpayers at least $107 billion.
After MacDonough’s ruling this week, Menendez revealed that Senate Democrats are planning a different style of amnesty — one that would give green cards, and eventually naturalized American citizenship, to any illegal alien who claims to have lived in the U.S. before January 1, 2010.
Menendez said Senate Democrats will soon make the argument to MacDonough for the amnesty’s inclusion in the budget reconciliation package so that it will only need majority support.
Today, anywhere from 11 to 22 million illegal aliens live in the U.S.
GEORGE S SOROS PARTNERS WITH BARACK OBAMA, ERIC HOLDER and now KAMALA HARRIS TO CREATE A GLOBALIST REGIME FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS and CRONY BANKSTERS…. Open borders and endless hordes of illegals will make it happen!

YOU WONDERED WHY OBAMA-HOLDER WORKED SO HARD TO SABOTAGE AMERICAN VOTING FOR MORE ILLEGALS???
Those are the sub-literate, low-skill, non-English-speaking indigents whose own societies are unable or unwilling to usefully educate and employ them. Bring these people here and they not only need a lot of services, they are putty in the hands of leftist demagogues as Hugo Chavez demonstrated - and they are very useful as leftist voters who will support the Soros agenda.
Chuck Schumer: Amnesty and Migrants Prevent Labor Shortages
Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Monday amnesty and migrants are needed to prevent labor shortages.
Schumer made his claim as many employers say they must raise wages for Americans in a national labor shortage.
Since early 2020, many Americans quit their jobs in low-wage sectors, such as bars, restaurants, retail stores and for home-healthcare contractors. That resulting labor shortage has boosted wages for millions of blue-collar Americans.
Schumer spoke the morning after the Senate’s debate referee, the Parliamentarian, blocked the Democrats from putting an amnesty for illegal migrants in a special funding bill. The bill can pass with only 51 votes instead of the usual 60 votes in the Senate.
Schumer said:
The last year and a half … have shown how vital our [illegal] immigrants have been to keeping our economy going during the time of crisis … We’re short of workers from one end of America to the other — one of the reasons? The Trump administration dramatically cut back on immigrants in this country. We need them. We need them in our labor force. We need them to continue American vitality. We need them because they’re part of the American dream.
Schumer sought to shame Americans into supporting the mass migration policies which allow New York’s employers and landlords to become reliant on plentiful and cheap legal immigrants and illegal migrants:
It’s estimated in my city [New York] by some that one-third of the healthcare workers at the height of COVID who risked their lives for us were immigrants. Having a strong law that helps our immigrants is vital. The American people understand that fixing our broken immigration system is a moral imperative [emphasis added] and an economic imperative.
Immigration reform has been one of the most important causes of my time in the Senate, and I will not stop fighting to achieve it.
Schumer blamed President Donald Trump’s 2020 curbs on migration for the labor shortage. But that admission indirectly credits Trump’s 2020 policy with helping to raise 2021 wages for millions of Americans.
Schumer’s claim the economy needs migrants is in direct contradiction to President Joe Biden’s inconsistent support for wage raises amid labor scarcity, technically known as “a tight labor market.”
Biden, age 78, explained his support for the long-standing and very popular goal of a tight labor market in a May 28 speech:
Rising wages aren’t a bug; they’re a feature. We want to get — we want to get something economists call “full employment.” Instead of workers competing with each other for jobs that are scarce, we want employees to compete with each other to attract wrk. We want the — the companies to compete to attract workers.
[…]
Well, wait until you see what happens when employers have to compete for workers. Companies like McDonald’s, Home Depot, Bank of America, and others — what do they have to do? They have to raise wages to attract workers. That’s the way it’s supposed to be.
Many economists say labor shortages make the economy more efficient and productive per person.
“The labor scarcity we’re experiencing is real … [but] this is an opportunity, not a crisis,” David Autor, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said in a September 4 op-ed for Schumer’s home-town newspaper, the New York Times. He continued:
Couldn’t raising wages spur employers to automate many low-paid service jobs? Yes — but that’s not bad. There’s no future in working the fry station at White Castle. We should welcome the robot that’s now doing that job at some locations. Automating bad jobs has positive consequences for productivity. When employers pay more for human labor, they have an incentive to use it more productively … And one way to use people more productively is to train them. This may be one reason that employers provide more training opportunities in a tightening labor market — something happening now.
However, lobbyists have persuaded Biden to back the amnesties that would deliver roughly six million workers — at least — into many of the jobs needed by Americans.
To a large extent, Biden has been pushed to back amnesties — and to forget about tight labor markets — because of face-to-face pressure by lobbyists from Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us advocacy group of West Coast investors.
On September 17, Biden’s economic advisors downplayed the wage damage to Americans as they issued a pro-amnesty memo. Notably, the memo did not endorse lobbyists’ claims that an amnesty would raise wages for Americans, and promised that wage losses would disappear “in the longer run.”

The economic damage caused by migration to Americans was made clear September 1, when several Americans and illegal immigrant were drowned in the their cheap basement apartments in New York. The apartments were all they could afford in a city where migration has swelled real-estate values.
The New York Times posted an article on September 2, which was discreetly silent about the federal government’s role in the drowning of migrants — and of poor Americans — in New York’s cheap basements:
In one of the most expensive housing markets in the world, they have offered low-income New Yorkers, including many working-class families who work in restaurants and hotels, affordable places to live. The basement apartments also provide some extra income for small landlords, many of whom are also immigrants.
[…]
Deborah Torres, who lives on the first floor of a building in Woodside, Queens, said she heard desperate pleas from the basement apartment of three members of a family, including a toddler, as floodwaters rushed in. A powerful cascade of water prevented anyone from getting into the apartment to help — or anyone from getting out. The family did not survive.
Many polls show that labor migration is deeply unpopular because it damages ordinary Americans’ career opportunities, cuts their wages, and raises their rents. Migration also curbs their productivity, shrinks their political clout, widens regional wealth gaps, and wrecks their democratic, compromise-promoting civic culture.
For many years, a wide variety of pollsters have shown deep and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates. This pocketbook opposition is multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity Americans owe to each other.
However, donor-funded GOP leaders have downplayed the pocketbook impact of migration on Americans’ communities. Instead, they try to steer voters’ concerns towards subsidiary non-economic issues, such as migrant crime, the border wall, border chaos, and drug smuggling.
Schumer, Zuckerberg Lobby Use Horse Videos to Denounce Title 42 Migration Barrier
Pro-amnesty Democrats and their pro-
migration corporate allies are exploiting the
media uproar over horse-mounted officers at
the border to demand even easier
migration into the U.S. economy.
“We’ve all seen these horrible images coming from our southern border … Images of Haitian migrants being hit with whips and other forms of physical violence is completely unacceptable,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a September 21 floor speech — just one day after he insisted that employers need more migrants.
“The images turn your stomach — it must be stopped, this kind of violence,” he continued, just before demanding the anti-epidemic 2020 Title 42 border rules be lifted to let migrants enter the United States:
So I urge President [Joe] Biden and Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas to immediately put a stop to these expulsions, and to end this Title 42 policy at our southern border. We cannot continue these hateful and xenophobic Trump policies that disregard our refugee laws. We must allow asylum seekers to present their claims at our ports of entry, and be afforded due process [in the United States]… the horrible treatment of these innocent people who have come to the border must stop immediately.
According to NBC News:
The Department of Homeland Security document also said the DHS Office of Professional Responsibility, the agency’s internal watchdog, is investigating an incident in which a Border Patrol agent on horseback in Del Rio, Texas, grabbed a Haitian migrant by the shirt.
Many of the Haitian migrants have trekked up from the Darian Gap jungle in Panama, where many migrants are killed or raped by bandits.
In 2021, almost one million migrants have been turned away at the border by the Title 42 rules established by President Donald Trump in 2020. Without the rule, Biden’s deputies would have likely allowed them into the United States, where they would have pressured down wages, pushed up rent, and crowded the K-12 schools needed by the children of blue-collar Americans.
Nonetheless, Biden’s deputies are expected to allow roughly two million migrants — including many of the Haitian border crossers — into the United States in 2021. The inflow will deliver one migrant for every two Americans born during the year.
The videos are “deeply troubling, including the inappropriate use of what appear to be whips by Border Patrol officers on horseback to intimidate migrants,” said a September 30 statement by House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi. “Any acts of aggression or violence cannot be tolerated and must be investigated.”
“What I saw depicted about those individuals on horseback treating human beings the way they were, was horrible,” Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday.
“If [border agents] cannot physically detain or deter illegal aliens, you are ceding the immigration laws to the individual illegal alien,” countered Robert Law, the director of regulatory affairs and policy for the Center for Immigration Studies.
By denouncing border officers’ routine enforcement of the nation’s popular border curbs, “you’re turning Border Patrol agents into the equivalent of Walmart greeters, or as tourist guides directing the illegal aliens on their way into the interior of the country.” he told Breitbart News.
The horse controversy is intended to distract the public from the obvious chaos caused by Biden’s loose border policies, Law said:
The entire thing is completely manufactured and it’s orchestrated … [by] this perverse coalition of anti-borders left and cheap-labor right who all work off at the same talking points and they go on the same cable shows, and they get written about the same media outlets, and they repeat the same lie over and over and over and over again.
The pro-migration progressives are eager to lash the U.S. border officers, Law said, even as they also cover up the deaths, rapes, and harms caused to the migrants during their long treks to the side-doors that leftists are opening at the U.S. border:
They would rather criticize the hardworking, patriotic career Border Patrol agents than ever say something negative about the cartels and the coyotes who are involved in this very dangerous and very cruel, [migrant-]smuggling operation … Those [border agents] are being portrayed today as the villain, not the cartels and the coyotes who are smuggling these people for exorbitant fees, and are using them as a distraction mechanism to flood our country with drugs that are killing many thousands Americans.
The Democratic politicians’ statements match the language and demands pushed by Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us advocacy group for West Coast investors. The group is pushing for greater immigration of migrant consumers, workers, and renters.
“The horrible treatment of Haitians and other predominantly Black people seeking asylum—including the awful violence inflicted upon them by Federal agents … is an urgent failure that demands immediate action,” said a September 20 statement FWD.us. The statement continued:
Title 42 was wrong in 2020. It is wrong today in 2021—and it is wrong for the Biden administration to appeal the decision declaring Title 42 last week and use this as a pretext for ramping up deportation flights of thousands of Haitians seeking asylum.
Zuckerberg’s FWD.us is funding many pro-migration and pro-amnesty groups around the United States. It is also playing the leading role in pushing the Senate to include multiple amnesties in the pending $3.5 trillion budget bill. That plan was damaged September 19 when the Senate’s debate referee, the parliamentarian, ruled that the amnesties cannot be included in a budget bill.
The FWD.us membership of West Coast investors is pushing for the amnesty because they stand to gain from more cheap labor, government-aided consumers, and room-sharing renters. The network has funded many astroturf campaigns, urged Democrats not to talk about the economic impact of migration, and manipulated and steered coverage by the TV networks and the print media.
The establishment’s media is protecting Biden because his border policies make the establishment look bad, said Law.
They are using the border enforcement videos “to help shift the narrative,” from the chaotic Haitian landing, he said. “You cannot distinguish the talking points of a liberal politician or a cheap labor business guy on cable news from what you see in a lot of [journalists’] print articles … They’re all on the same team.”

Watch: Soros-Linked Open Borders Activists Demand ‘Citizenship for All’ Illegal Aliens
A number of open borders organizations linked to billionaire George Soros deployed activists across Washington, DC, on Tuesday, demanding “citizenship for all” illegal aliens living in the United States.
Days ago, Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled that a massive amnesty plan for illegal aliens could not be slipped into Senate Democrats’ $3.5 trillion filibuster-proof budget reconciliation package.
In response, open borders groups like CASA de Maryland, Make the Road NY, United We Dream, United Farm Workers, the SEIU, and the Center for Popular Democracy sent activists out across Washington, DC to demand Congress include amnesty in a budget package regardless of MacDonough’s ruling.
CASA de Maryland, United We Dream, and the Center for Popular Democracy, as Breitbart News has reported in the past, have been financially linked to Soros’ Open Society Foundation for years.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) along with Sens. Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ) spoke at a rally alongside Center for Popular Democracy activists. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) also spoke at the rally.
“Last night’s ruling was extremely disappointing,” Schumer said Monday of the MacDonough’s decision. “It saddened me, it frustrated me, it angered me because so many lives are at stake … Senate Democrats have prepared alternative proposals.”
“During covid, immigrants — documented and undocumented — risked their lives to help others and we are so proud of them and they are so much part of America,” Schumer said.
For months, Democrats had hoped to slip an amnesty for illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, those employed on United States farms, those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and those deemed “essential workers” into their budget reconciliation package.
In August, a budget resolution framework put forth by Democrats revealed the amnesty would cost American taxpayers at least $107 billion.

Today, anywhere from 11 to 22 million illegal aliens live in the U.S.
