BERNIE SANDERS' STATE OF VERMONT
In Vermont, "that giant sucking sound" is not jobs moving to
Mexico — it is jobs being concocted in Montpelier. Of
course, Governor Scott shields illegal immigrants working in
Vermont, and Vermont provides driver's licenses to
them. The capital city also grants non-citizen residents the
right to vote. It is no surprise that Vermont is #1 in the
country for illegal northern border crossings.
Labor Union Gives $100K to Bernie Bro Embezzler
A prominent labor union gave $100,000 to a super PAC run by a former Bernie Sanders campaign adviser who was convicted of defrauding another union.
The United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry donated to Nuestro PAC on Feb. 16, according to Federal Election Commission records. The PAC's founder, Chuck Rocha, pleaded guilty in 2013 to embezzling funds from United Steelworkers, where he served as a political director. He was sentenced to 24 months probation and barred from serving as an officer or agent of a labor union for 13 years.
Rocha’s misdeeds have caused him trouble in progressive circles. During the 2016 Democratic primary, some progressives raised concerns that Rocha’s theft from United Steelworkers conflicted with Sanders’s fight against the political establishment in Washington. Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver defended the relationship with Rocha at the time, saying the political operative was "a dedicated person committed to fighting for working people in this country and for people of color."
Rocha formed Nuestro PAC in 2020 with millions of dollars in funding from a super PAC started by Sanders campaign veterans. Sanders’s campaigns have paid Rocha’s Solidarity Strategies another $12 million since 2015, the Washington Free Beacon reported. Nuestro PAC has supported Jessica Cisneros, a progressive Democrat running in a primary against Rep. Henry Cueller (D., Texas), a moderate Democrat. The PAC also launched a campaign to draft Rep. Ruben Gallego (D., Ariz.) to challenge Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D., Ariz.) in the 2024 Senate primary.
Both the United Association and United Steelworkers are affiliates of the AFL-CIO. Nuestro PAC paid nearly $67,000 last year to Rocha’s consulting firm, Solidarity Strategies, according to FEC records.
Nuestro PAC gave $6,344 last month to Run Ruben Run, the pro-Gallego draft committee. The United Association, which claims to represent 355,000 members, contributed $25,000 to Gallego’s campaigns from 2016 to 2019. Nuestro PAC gave $10,000 to the progressive Justice Democrats PAC last month and paid another $10,482 to Elias Law Group, the law firm owned by scandal-plagued election lawyer Marc Elias.
The United Association’s $100,000 contribution to Nuestro PAC is by far the largest political contribution the trade union made in the current election cycle, campaign finance records show. It has given hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions in past years to Democratic committees like the DNC, Priorities USA, and House Majority PAC.
Rocha was charged in 2013 with using funds from United Steelworkers to pay for Stanley Cup playoff tickets and golf trips in 2008 and 2009. As political director of United Steelworkers, Rocha reportedly managed a $30 million budget for the union’s political outreach to policymakers.
Neither the United Association nor Nuestro PAC responded to requests for comment.
Bernie Leads His Party to Open Borders
Some 100 members of an American Mormon community in northern Mexico, nine of whom -- women, children, toddlers -- were massacred a week ago on a lonely stretch of highway, just crossed over into Arizona.
Other family members who have lived there for decades will follow.
The atrocity was the work of one of the cartels battling for control of the drug traffic into the United States.
In Mexico's Sinaloa state in October, an arrest of Ovidio Guzman Lopez, son of "El Chapo," who sits in a New York prison, brought a military-style cartel attack on the state capital, Culiacan, followed by a surrender to the cartel gunmen by national guard and army troops, and a release of the captive.
"Is Mexico a failed state?" asks The Washington Times. Its editorial describes "Another Blood-Soaked Year in Mexico" where 17,000 people were murdered by July and the 2019 death toll is expected to reach 32,000.
USA Today reports: "Through August of the current fiscal year, the Border Patrol apprehended 457,871 migrants arriving as 'family units' ... a 406% increase compared to the 90,554 family unit apprehensions during the same period the previous year. Migrant families from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador made up almost 92% of the total."
With cartel battles escalating into a war that Mexico City has no stomach for fighting, and a record number of migrants from Central America crossing Mexico to flood into the USA, what is the Democratic Party's policy for halting the rising tide?
Democrats are moving toward an "open door" policy on the U.S. border, an open borders embrace of any and all who wish to come.
America, apparently, does not belong to those who live here and love the country. America belongs to anyone who chooses to come. America belongs to the world.
Consider Bernie Sanders' immigration proposal, outlined the week of the massacre of Mormon women and children.
On Day One, President Sanders would declare a moratorium on deportations and offer a "swift pathway to citizenship" for all illegal migrants who have been here for five years.
Bernie would break up ICE. Border-jumping would cease to be a crime and become a civil offense like jaywalking. The "Muslim ban" would be abolished.
President Sanders would back sanctuary cities that refuse to work with U.S. law enforcement. Asylum seekers would not have to wait in Mexico as their claims were processed but would be welcomed into the USA.
Family separations would end. Trump's wall, which Bernie calls "racist," would be history. The administration's treatment of illegal immigration "as a criminal and national security matter is inhuman, impractical and must end."
Migrants who enter illegally would qualify for federal health care and the same social welfare benefits as U.S. citizens. Immigrant officials say Sanders' proposals would create an irresistible magnet for millions of migrants from all over the world to stampede into the USA.
The Nation magazine calls Sanders' plan "one of the boldest immigration plans any major politician has put forward in years, and comes amid a campaign season that has seen a major shift to the left among Democratic candidates on immigration.
"With calls for a total moratorium on deportations, abolishing ICE and providing a path to citizenship for undocumented migration, the plan serves as a road map for what a fair and just immigration can be."
From another standpoint, Sanders' proposal is a surrender to the reality that a leftist regime lacks the conviction or will to stop an endless stream of people from migrating here.
Americans troubled over what is happening on the Syrian-Turkish border, or Ukrainian-Crimean border, might take a closer look at what will happen at our own border, and to our own country, if Democrats win the presidency and throw open the doors to unrestricted immigration.
The federal budget, already running trillion-dollar deficits, and state budgets, too, will see huge increases in the cost of social programs, without the commensurate income tax revenues to pay for them.
Even at present levels, illegal immigration is bringing in millions of people without the work, education or language skills to compete and assimilate rapidly in a first world, Western economy.
These migrants pay virtually no income taxes, yet, would qualify for the same benefits as U.S. citizens. The inevitable result: another run-up in an annual deficit already running $1 trillion in the red.
Politically, so massive a migration of peoples who, once they become citizens, vote 70%-90% Democratic means an end of the GOP as a truly national party.
If we open the borders, how do we stop the drugs from coming in? How do we stop the cartels from following MS-13, which is already here?
Socially, this country is as splintered as it has been since the 1960s.
Will a barrage of migrants add to its diversity, or deepen the ethnic, racial and cultural divides that are turning us into two, three, many Americas?

DEMOCRAT PARTY - NEVER ENDING ASSAULT ON MIDDLE AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN WORKER!
In the White House, Biden’s activities remain a secret from regular people. He seldom has many items on his daily calendar. He rarely does unscripted pressers or interviews. He frequently escapes to Delaware for holidays. The transcripts of Biden’s calls with foreign leaders are never published. It has reached a point where leaders such as the President of Ukraine are issuing stern rebukes to Biden for his reckless claims.
DEMOCRAT PARTY - NEVER ENDING ASSAULT ON MIDDLE AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN WORKER!
Bernie Sanders Silent as Corporations Look to Explicitly Grow Profit Margins via Limitless Immigration
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), a self-described Socialist, has remained silent as corporate special interests seek to dramatically shift the nation’s legal immigration system for their benefit.
Last month, House Democrats passed President Joe Biden’s filibuster-proof “Build Back Better Act” reconciliation package, which would blow the lid off legal immigration levels — explicitly to provide an unlimited pipeline of foreign workers to multinational corporations.
Specifically, the reconciliation package would allow corporations to utilize an expanded foreign worker pipeline through the employment-based green card system even as hundreds of thousands of American professionals and graduates seek jobs in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) jobs.
In late October, Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) urged Sanders, who is chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, to oppose the reconciliation package for its “corporate carve-out for unlimited foreign labor” that includes “several breathtaking immigration provisions that have long been the crown jewel of corporate lobbying.”
Sanders has been silent, Hagerty told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement.
“It’s been over five weeks since I wrote to Senator Sanders about the corporate carve-out in the so-called ‘Build Back Better’ legislation that benefits Big Tech and harms American workers, and we still haven’t heard a single word of defense from him,” Hagerty said.
“If Senator Sanders is serious about supporting American workers like he proclaims, he should soundly reject this dangerous, hidden provision that would create an unending pipeline of foreign labor for Silicon Valley giants to lower wages and displace aspiring Americans,” he continued.
Sanders did not respond to a request for comment at the time of publication.
Breitbart News has reviewed lobbying records that detail the lobbying campaign from corporate giants like Amazon, Facebook, Intuit Inc, AT&T, Verizon, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Alphabet, Deloitte, the Microsoft Corporation, IBM, Accenture, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and the Intel Corporation — all of whom would benefit significantly from the expanded foreign worker pipeline.
The corporations, as listed, file thousands of petitions to the federal government every year to secure employment-based green cards for their foreign visa workers who, more often than not, arrive in the U.S. through the H-1B visa program that has been used to replace American workers with cheaper foreign workers.
Amazon, this year alone, petitioned for nearly 3,000 employment-based green cards for their foreign visa workers and foreign nationals seeking to take high-paying white collar jobs. Microsoft and Google, likewise, petitioned for more than 3,300 employment-based green cards.
More than one million white-collar American jobs today are held by foreign visa workers.

What to make of Biden secretly transporting illegal aliens into the US
By Rajan Laad
Two days ago, the New York Post reported the following:
“Under cover of darkness, every night the federal government is transporting illegal migrants as fast as it can away from the border on secret charter flights into unsuspecting communities around the country. Officials have lied and obstructed the few journalists who have tried to reveal the truth.”
Rumble video screebgrab
This has been an old Democrat project.
They begin by inviting illegal immigrants either explicitly or implicitly through various public forums.
They then allow numerous illegal aliens into the country by opening up the border.
Since these migrants are uneducated, unskilled, and impoverished they depend on government welfare for their survival. This makes them a permanent underclass who the Democrats think will be perennially subservient to them.
Many of these migrants eventually are transferred to locations where Republicans traditionally win. The Democrats know they can never convince conservatives to vote for their radical left-wing policies. So they drown the impact of these resident voters by giving voting rights to a sufficient number of migrants to facilitate a Democrat win.
Soon they plan to have a permanent presence in the House, Senate, and the White House.
This has been successfully implemented in New York and California; the result of this monopoly is that talentless and corrupt individuals such as AOC, Bill DeBlasio, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and Gavin Newsom win elections and eventually become destructive forces.
The impact of these secret transfers will be felt a couple decades later, by which time it is irreversible.
Hopefully, governors will react and prevent this potential travesty.
Democrat proponents of open borders may claim to be compassionate and humane, but it is at the cost of others. Top Democrat leaders such as Obama and Pelosi live in gated affluent localities where even a stranger would not even be allowed entry without documents and permission.
They chose working-class localities for migrants.
Flooding any locality with numerous foreigners places an unfair burden on its infrastructure because the resources such as schools, hospitals, roads, parks, houses, and law enforcement are finite and directly proportional to tax-paying citizens in that area.
The fact that these migrants are not tested for Covid-19 makes them an additional risk and potential burden on the medical infrastructure and could cause lockdowns that hurt citizens.
These illegal migrants are often willing to work for meager remuneration; this causes a depression of wages and unemployment for native workers. This is why open borders were once termed as a 'right-wing scheme' by hardcore leftist like Bernie Sanders. Sanders whistles a very different tune these days.
The perils unvetted immigration from alien cultures can hardly be exaggerated. Countries in Europe have witnessed an erosion of their cultures and a spike in the most heinous of crimes. The social fabric undergoes considerable changes when religious fundamentalists among migrants commit brutal murders or honor killings in the name of blasphemy.
Soon the place the citizen was born in and has lived all his life looks like a foreign land.
US Officials have recorded over 1.7 million illegal border crossings in the past year, the most since records began. The actual record is much higher since there are numerous undetected crossings.
This surreptitious nightly transportation of illegal aliens should not come as a surprise.
If the Biden Presidency has an overall theme, it is secrecy.
During his campaign Biden seldom held rallies and was never subjected to tough probing interviews, hence his proposed policies or plans for the nation remained secret. News of Biden’s son’s shady deals in Ukraine and China are suppressed by the media and kept a secret from voters.
Biden’s swearing-in ceremony was done under lockdowns with armed forces guarding Washington DC against regular people while only the likes of Tom Hanks and Lady Gaga were permitted to attend the secret coronation.
In the White House, Biden’s activities remain a secret from regular people. He seldom has many items on his daily calendar. He rarely does unscripted pressers or interviews. He frequently escapes to Delaware for holidays. The transcripts of Biden’s calls with foreign leaders are never published. It has reached a point where leaders such as the President of Ukraine are issuing stern rebukes to Biden for his reckless claims.
His mercurial, listless, forgetful presentation leads citizens to wonder who is in charge.
But that mystery wrapped in a riddle is not likely to be resolved any time soon.
Te Democrats' presumption that these migrants are a homogenous subservient group who will be their permanent voter base could be gravely erroneous.
The modern Democrats are fervent advocates of radical feminism, abortion, gay "marriage," transgenderism, etc., which are generally despised by people of faith. This will reflect in their voting behavior.
Many migrants originate from communist or theocratic or totalitarian nations in South America, the Middle East, or Africa. They have experienced how dictators destroy economies and suppress freedom to cause chaos. When they notice the totalitarian proclivities of the Democrats, they are likely to be turned off.
The news media serves as a propaganda wing for the Democrats. Whistleblowers who were once celebrated for their ‘bravery’ and ‘patriotism’ are now an extinct breed. Various government and investigative agencies that are supposed to be apolitical have been compromised by the Washington Establishment. Billionaires buy elections by 'donating' to activist groups who infiltrate government election offices and manipulate the electoral outcomes.
To have an incapacitated, compromised or disorientated leader who ‘wins’ a rigged election but is merely a front for his sinister agenda-driven puppet masters is what usually occurs in third world autocratic nations.
This certainly should not occur in one of the world’s largest democracies.
The secret transfer of illegals is perhaps a rare instance when their nefarious activities were detected. It isn’t beyond the realms of probability that a lot more goes on behind the scenes that will never be known by the public and that will have a permanent impact.
If this isn’t a national emergency, what is?
Bernie Sanders: Illegal Immigrants Are ‘Our People’
All illegal migrants who get into the United States are “our people,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders, as he compaigns for the Democrat nomination for president of the United States.
“What our campaign is about, and what our administration will be about, is rethinking America,” he told his supporters at a February 22 Texas rally, continuing:
Understanding that all of our people — when I say all, I also mean the undocumented in this country — that all of our people are entitled to basic human rights.
Bernie Sanders: illegal immigrants are "entitled" to the same government benefits as citizens
12.4K people are talking about this
For example, Sander’s plan suggests he will offer America-funded healthcare to all migrants who make it over the border. “Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege,” he told the crowd at his Texas speech. “In America, you should not suffer financial ruin because you got sick.”
Wages will be raised for people who are now illegals:
If you work 40 hours a week in America, you should not earn starvation wages. I have talked to too many people in Texas and all over this country. Yeah, they got a job, but they got a job that is paying them a wage which is unlivable. That is why we’re gonna raise the minimum wage in this country to at least $15 an hour.
BLOG:
"When we hear stories about the homelessness in California and elsewhere, why don't we hear how illegal aliens contribute to the problem? They take jobs and affordable housing, yet instead of discouraging illegal aliens from breaking the law, politicians encourage them to come by lavishing free stuff on them with confiscated dollars from this and future generations." JACK HELLNER
The population of illegals nudges up crime rates, pushes down Americans’ wages, and boosts housing prices. But business groups welcome the extra population because it provides more workers, customers, and renters to businesses. NEIL MUNRO
California has lots of reasons to hang onto its roughly 2.2 – 3.5 million illegal immigrants (PROBABLY CLOSER TO 15 MILLION). They provide cheap, easily-exploited labor. They swell the state’s population, which matters for electors and congresspeople, as well as the distribution of certain federal funds. As illegal immigrants are fed into the system, they provide reliable (legal or illegal) Democrat votes. And they make Californians feel virtuous even as they allow corrupt Latin American states to continue exploiting their own citizens and destroying their economies by relying on remittances from people illegally in America. ANDREA WIDBURG
Housing aid will also be made available to current illegals:
Today, we’ve got 500,000 people sleeping out on the streets of America. Today, we have 18 million families, paying 50 percent of their limited incomes for housing.
“We’re going to end the demonization of the undocumented in this country,” he said.
Sanders has repeated these promises at many events — but has not explained how he would prevent hundreds of millions of foreigners from migrating to the United States for free healthcare, college, as well as subsidized housing and $15 wages. Nor does he explain how Americans will be able to raise their wages in a flooded labor market or buy good housing in a real estate market spike brought on by a massive population increase.
Sanders’ immigration plan is titled “A Welcoming and Safe America for All.” It says that he will:
Institute a moratorium on deportations until a thorough audit of past practices and policies is complete.
…
Reinstate and expand DACA and develop a humane policy for those seeking asylum.
Completely reshape and reform our immigration enforcement system, including breaking up ICE and CBP and redistributing their functions to their proper authorities.
…
Dismantle cruel and inhumane deportation programs and detention centers and reunite families who have been separated.
Live up to our ideals as a nation and welcome refugees and those seeking asylum, including those displaced by climate change.
…
Bernie believes we must stand up for our values and accept refugees, asylum-seekers, and families who come to the United States in search of the American Dream. This is how America was built and it has made our country strong.
…
Use executive authority to allow undocumented immigrants who have resided in the United States for five or more years to remain free from threat of deportation.
Use advance parole to reunite families that have been ripped apart by deportation policies and provide for and return unjustly deported servicemembers.

Kamala Harris: Medicare for All Includes Illegal Aliens

Harris, a guest on CNN's "State of the Union," said "I support Medicare for all. It is my preferred policy." She said she supports the bill introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders.
PHONY “POPULIST” BERNIE SANDERS
http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2017/12/only-barack-obama-is-more-of-phony-than.html
For all of Bernie Sanders talk about leading “political revolution” against the “billionaire class,” Sanders backed Clinton, a shill of Wall Street and the Pentagon, who has nothing but contempt for the tens of millions of workers devastated by the 2008 financial crash and Obama’s pro-corporate policies.
MILLIONAIRE PHONY SOCIALISM BERNIE’S LA RAZA SOCIALISM to keep the “cheap” labor flowing into our jobs
https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2019/04/phony-populist-bernie-sanders-vows-to.html
Bernie supports immigration reform that will address the legal status of the 11 million undocumented people (EXCEPT THERE ARE 40 MILLION ILLEGALS HERE ALREADY) in our country, protect American jobs by way of visa reform, secure the border, and protect undocumented workers from labor exploitation.
The website states that Sanders supports a pathway to citizenship for all people who are in the United States illegally, the Dream Act, “Visa reform” and border security “without building a fence.”
Sanders also voted for the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill in 2013 that would have given amnesty to all of the people in the United States illegally.
According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s 2017 report, illegal immigrants, and their children, cost American taxpayers a net $116 billion annually -- roughly $7,000 per alien annually. While high, this number is not an outlier: a recent study by the Heritage Foundation found that low-skilled immigrants (including those here illegally) cost Americans trillions over the course of their lifetimes, and a study from the National Economics Editorial found that illegal immigration costs America over $140 billion annually. As it stands, illegal immigrants are a massive burden on American taxpayers.
BERNIE SANDERS MAKES DIRECT APPEAL TO RUST BELT MIDDLE-AMERICA… but fails to tell them he wants amnesty for 40 million looting Mexicans so they can bring up the rest of their families and vote Democrat for more.

Bernie Sanders thunders about 'corruption' ... and gives Joe Biden a pass
Bernie Sanders is famous for railing about billionaires as corrupt. He thunders about corruption, positioning himself as the austere but honest socialist, the guy who sets no store on having tons of money the way those notorious billionaires do.
You don't need that many choices of deodorant, see. His socialism of yeoman simplicity is what makes him supposedly honest and fair.
Or at least that's the message he's got all over his website as he tries to downplay his socialism and up-play his probity. See, he may be socialist and all, but he's Mr. Clean:
"The corruption is out there," his video headline thunders, attempting to halt the Republican tax cut a couple years ago, calling it "corrupt." He even ran photos of Red Chinese soldiers and Vladimir Putin in his video to argue that the tax cut that has since lifted the entire American economy is actually corruption.
This corruption is so blatant, it's no longer seen as remarkable. Just the other day, the lead sentence in a New York Times story about Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson was this: 'The return on investment for many of the Republican Party's biggest political patrons has been less than impressive this year.' The idea that political donors expect a specific policy result in exchange for their contribution is the very definition of corruption. It is right now, absolutely out there in the open. It is no longer even seen as scandalous. This sort of corruption is common among authoritarian regimes...
So in light of his Mister Clean persona, what's he been up to lately? Breitbart has the answer:
During a portion of an interview with CBS News released on Monday, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) pushed back on an op-ed from Sanders supporter and Fordham Law Associate Professor Zephyr Teachout that said 2020 Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden “has a big corruption problem and it makes him a weak candidate.” Sanders stated that it is “absolutely not my view that Joe is corrupt in any way.”
Sanders said, “Joe Biden is a friend of mine. I’ve known him for many, many years. He’s a very decent guy. Joe and I have strong disagreements on a number of issues, and we’ll argue those disagreements out. But it is absolutely not my view that Joe is corrupt in any way.”
Which is extremely bizarre stuff, given that the average Joe on the street can see that Biden's son Hunter turning up in country after country that he knows nothing about on the heels of Joe's vice presidential visits, somehow managed to end up with $80,000 a month paychecks from corrupt energy companies and more, just by following old dad with his satchel out wherever he went.
His remarks come on the heels of the release of Peter Schweizer's new book which showcases Biden family corruption in spades. Biden didn't just benefit ne'er-do-well Hunter during his political terms, Schweizer unveils and airtight case showing that Biden benefitted five family members, using his political office.
There's a reason Democrats don't want any Biden witnesses called during the upcoming Senate impeachment trial of President Trump, which in fact was premised on Trump's investigation of House Biden corruption.
Now Bernie's denying it? One can probably conclude a couple of things from this ridiculous barefaced lie about Biden's probity. One, Sanders was also named as a pocket-liner in Schweizer's book, and he's just as dirty as Biden.
Two, Sanders is essentially unserious when he talks about ending corruption. He's got no intention of ending the kind of corruption that made Hunter Biden's life such a partyfest. If anything, he wants more of it. And he's probably protecting himself.
This paints one heck of a hypocritical picture and it's about time some enterprising reporter called him on it.
A new Gilded Age has emerged in America — a 21st century version.
The wealth of the top 1% of Americans has grown dramatically in the past four decades, squeezing both the middle class and the poor. This is in sharp contrast to Europe and Asia, where the wealth of the 1% has grown at a more constrained pace.
