Border chief Alejandro Mayorkas and his progressive deputies are warning Americans to expect a huge inflow of economic migrants if the Title 42 border barrier is dropped.
“Homeland security officials on Tuesday described contingency plans for managing as many as 18,000 encounters a day at the border, regardless of the cause,” reported the New York Times .
That inflow would add up to more than 500,000 people a month — or more migrants than American births in a month. The southern flood would exacerbate the economic damage already caused by the flood of roughly 1 million legal immigrants and perhaps 400,000 new visa workers.
The media briefing was likely intended to help persuade other officials at the White House and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) – as well as judges – to preserve the Title 42 barrier when it expires this week.
The CDC-governed barrier allows Mayorkas to regulate the inflow of cross-border migrants to a level that does not break into the evening news. Mayorkas’ regulated level is about 150,000 per month, including roughly 50,000 migrants who sneak across the border.
But the alarm signal likely was also intended to mollify Biden’s progressive base of pro-migration, university-trained extremists who say they would prefer to see an open border for migrants — regardless of the wage-cutting, rent-spiking damage to ordinary Americans:
The predicted flood has been encouraged by Biden’s pro-migration deputies, who immediately ended the border protections established by former-President Donald Trump, reduced the use of the Trump-imposed Title 42 disease-related rejections at the border, and minimized the deportations of illegals.
But Biden’s officials are now alarmed about the public’s reaction to their refusal to defend Americans’ border: “Democrats do not want the southwest border to appear out of control in the months ahead of the midterm elections, which would fuel more Republican attacks on the Biden administration’s border policies,” the New York Times said.
The inflow has “rattled some Democrats who worry it may be too soon to return to pre-pandemic immigration rules at the border,” said the Washington Post .
In 2014, a rush of migrants at the border wrecked public trust in the border policies set by President Barack Obama. The bad poll numbers derailed Obama’s hopes for a mass amnesty and encouraged a New York TV personality to run for president.
A supercharged repeat of the mass migration in 2022 may help Americans to recognize their shared opposition to labor migration. The public opposition is revealed in polls, but it is suppressed by claims by investor-funded progressives that the United States is a “Nation of Immigrants.” The opposition is also hidden by the corporate-owned establishment media, which rarely describes the scale of migration or the public’s hostility to labor migration.
In September 2021, Biden’s polls were badly damaged by the TV news coverage of the invasion by roughly 30,000 migrants at Del Rio in Texas.
It is not clear if the administration is willing to stop mass migration.
Mayorkas is a Cuban immigrant and a pro-migration zealot who argues that the United States is, and must always, be a “Nation of Immigrants.”

He is backed up by progressives who wish to transform the United States from a society governed by European-origin civic culture into a progressive-led empire of competing identity groups. “We’re trying to become the first multiracial, multi-ethnic superpower in the world,” a Mayorkas ally, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), told the New York Times on March 21. “It will be an extraordinary achievement … we will ultimately triumph,” he insisted.
So Biden’s officials refuse to detain migrants — even the economic migrants who cut wages for Americans – as required by federal law. Without detention, migrants do not have to worry about the economic risk of migrating to the United States because they can be sure that they will get a U.S. job to pay off their smuggling debts.
Mayorkas has also announced he will not deport illegal migrants, even when they drive down Americans’ wages and push up their housing prices.
“Even if the administration briefly keeps some limited version of Title 42 in place for political reasons, almost everything else it’s doing is sending the signal to prospective illegal immigrants to come on down,” warned Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
Mayorkas’ easy migration policy is encouraging mass migration from many countries around the world. As more people from Africa and Asia get into the United States, they use their cellphones to show their success to their homeland friends and neighbors, so encouraging more migrants.
A 2012 survey by Gallup showed that more than 150 million people around the world want to migrate to the United States.
The Washington Post reported:
“The nature and scope of migration has changed fundamentally,” said one DHS official, who briefed reporters and spoke on the condition of anonymity under rules set by the department.
The official said an “unprecedented” 40 percent of the migrants being taken into custody are arriving from countries outside Mexico and the Northern Triangle of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador that have traditionally been the largest sources for migration.
The New York Times noted that officials are refusing to send some migrants home, so they are encouraging more people to head north:
But the United States cannot put Cubans, Venezuelans or Nicaraguans on flights back to their countries because of a lack of diplomatic relations. One of the homeland security officials speaking on background on Tuesday called the situation “problematic,” and said they were most likely fleeing oppressive governments.
The pro-migration editors at the New York Times ignored the likely impact of a migrant flood on Americans’ workplaces, homes, and schools, saying only ‘The stakes are high, from both a humanitarian standpoint and a political one.”
But the elite-backed flood of migrant labor — and renters — has impoverished millions of less-education Americans. CNBC reported on March 30:
Roughly 20% of employees regularly run out of money between paychecks, up from 15% last year, according to the survey of more than 3,000 working adults in February.
As a result, about one-quarter of those polled said it’s harder to afford necessary expenses and one-third are unable to build savings , issues that are particularly problematic for low-to-moderate income workers.
Similarly, the Oxfam anti-poverty group reports :
as of 2022, more than 31.9 percent of the US labor force, or 51.9 million workers, currently make less than $15 per hour, and many are stuck at the federal minimum wage, which is less than half of that hourly rate. If Congress were to enact legislation changing the hourly minimum wage and who qualifies—making the law more equitable and inclusive—millions of workers would be lifted from poverty.

Since at least 1990, the D.C. establishment has used a wide variety of excuses and explanations — for example, “Nation of Immigrants ” — to justify its policy of extracting tens of millions of migrants and visa workers from poor countries to serve as workers, consumers, and renters for various U.S. investors and CEOs.
The self-serving economic strategy of extraction migration has no stopping point. It is harmful to ordinary Americans because it cuts their career opportunities, shrinks their salaries and wages , raises their housing costs, and has shoved at least 10 million American men out of the labor force.
Extraction migration also curbs Americans’ productivity , reduces their political clout , undermines U.S. workplace rights, and widens the regional wealth gaps between the Democrats’ coastal states and the Republicans’ Heartland states.
An economy built on extraction migration also radicalizes Americans’ democratic, compromise-promoting civic culture because it allows wealthy elites to ignore despairing Americans at the bottom of society.
The economic strategy also kills many migrants, splits foreign families, and extracts wealth from the poor home countries.
Not surprisingly, the wealth-shifting extraction migration policy is very unpopular, according to a wide variety of polls . The polls show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.
The opposition is growing , anti-establishment , multiracial , cross-sex , non-racist , class-based , bipartisan , rational , persistent , and recognizes the solidarity that Americans owe to one another.

30 Facts American Families Are Getting Pulverized By This Economy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2hRRLIvpdA
How can Americans afford to survive in today’s economy? The cost of everything is going through the roof, and wages are stagnating amid rampant inflation. Today, the median household income is a little over $65,000 a year, which means that the average family earns around $5,400 a month. But before any of that money gets spent, you have to take out at least $1,100 in taxes. That leaves about $4,300 a month to pay all the bills. So if you have to pay the mortgage or rent, at least another $1,100 goes away, which means that now you have $3,200 to make make your car payments, student loan payments, energy bills, water bills, phone bills, cable bills, internet bills, health insurance, home insurance, and most importantly, you have to provide three meals a day for every member of your family and the cars need to be filled up with gas or you won’t go anywhere. On top of that, there are always extra expenses such as home or car repairs, or new clothes and shoes for your kids. With all things considered, it’s understandable why so many families are struggling financially. Workers are facing immense hardships as labor conditions continue to decay. The number of good jobs is steadily dropping, and most positions do not support middle-class lifestyles anymore. Meanwhile, millions of families are seeing their purchasing power getting squeezed harder and harder with each passing month as the cost of living just keeps going up. To make things worse, as supply chains collapse, global tensions rise, markets react and the economy falls back into recession, the American family is going to have an even more difficult time trying to survive financially in the coming months. Most people in the U.S. are living in an almost constant state of financial despair right now. Parents are spending sleepless nights wondering how they are going to explain to their children that they cannot provide for the same things they used to or how are they going to stay above water for another month. In modern-day America, if you can keep yourself from getting evicted by your landlord or prevent your home from being foreclosed, and if you’re able to put food on the table every day, and put clothes on the backs of your children, then you’re extremely lucky because there are millions out there that don’t have the conditions to do so. This once was a nation for the great. But now, the American dream has turned into a horrifying nightmare. n today’s video, we compiled 30 facts that prove that the average American family is getting absolutely pulverized by this economy.

Nearly One-Third of Americans Expect to Be Poorer in a Year
JOHN CARNEY
Never before have so many Americans felt their prospects are so rotten.
The University of Michigan’s survey of consumer sentiment showed on Friday that 32 percent of Americans expect the financial condition of their household to worsen over the coming year, a record high share, largely due to rising prices
“When asked to explain changes in their finances in their own words, more consumers mentioned reduced living standards due to rising inflation than any other time except during the two worst recessions in the past fifty years: from March 1979 to April 1981, and from May to October 2008. Moreover, 32% of all consumers expected their overall financial position to worsen in the year ahead, the highest recorded level since the surveys started in the mid-1940s,” said Richard Curtin, the chief economist of the survey.
Consumer sentiment has declined sharply in Biden’s first year in office, with the University of Michigan measure dropping 30 percent from a year ago. What’s more, just 16 percent say they have confidence in the country’s economic policies, one-third as many as those who say they do not have confidence.
About seven in 10 Americans say the nation’s economy is in bad shape, and nearly two-thirds disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy, according to a poll released Friday from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Bidenflation Strains Food Banks as Food Insecurity Rises NICK GILBERTSON
Food banks are feeling strains from inflated prices and increased demand, while President Joe Biden says a food shortage that is “going to be real” looms.
Food insecurity numbers have been on the rise since at least late Summer 2021, the Washington Post reported , citing the U.S. Census Bureau Household Pulse Survey, which compiles and releases data “on how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted people’s lives.” In early August, the survey showed that about eight percent of Americans who responded said they either “sometimes” or “often” did not have enough to eat.
The number climbed to ten percent by early February, with thirteen percent of households with children reporting they either “sometimes” or “often” did not have enough to eat.
Inflation has sent the Consumer Price Index up a whopping 7.9 percent over the past year — “the largest 12-month increase since the period ending July 1981,” the Bureau of Labor Statistics said in its February report, released March 10.
What is more, on Thursday, President Joe Biden said that a food shortage looms, stemming from sanctions imposed on Russia.
Breitbart News reported :
“It’s going to be real,” Biden said when asked about discussions with world leaders about food shortages.
He pointed out that Russia and Ukraine were considered the “breadbasket of Europe,” producing nearly a third of wheat exports around the world. Biden also previewed tough times ahead for food supplies across the globe.
“The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia; it’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries, as well, including European countries and our country, as well,” Biden said.
Biden’s announcement comes at a time when most “food banks say food purchase costs are up, and they’re also paying more for transportation and distribution, while reporting labor shortages,” while food bank officials have reported increased demand, the Post wrote.
Chad Higdon, CEO of Second Harvest Community Food Bank in St Joseph, Missouri, told KQ2 that he had seen a substantial increase in costs over the past six months.
“Even just looking at these last six months, compared to the previous six months, we’re seeing about a 10% increase in food and transportation costs,” he told the outlet.
He added that family demand is still high, and the organization is working to meet needs with less to offer and increased expenses.
“So we’re still seeing high volume of families that are that are coming to our mobile food pantries that really are looking for that additional support,” Higdon said. “But we’re trying to figure out now how to really respond with with less resources and more expenses to really get to meet the need.”
The Post reports:
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told The Washington Post that $100 million in new grants has been made available to the Emergency Food Assistance Program state agencies, and that the USDA has the purchasing power through a separate program to supplement the commodities that food banks need. Vilsack said he understands food banks are facing difficult situations.
“We can always take a look at purchasing food. But what we’ve got here is a situation where we have lots of demand and unstable supply,” Vilsack noted. “We’re addressing the supply chain issue, but that’s going to take time.”
Nolte: Biden Predicts ‘Real’ Food Shortages in America, but Offers No Plan JOHN NOLTE
Astonishingly, the president of the United States stood before the world this week, predicting “real food shortages” without mentioning a plan to keep us fed.
“With regard to food shortages—yes, we did talk about food shortages, and, uh, and it’s gonna be real,” His Fraudulency Joe Biden said at a Thursday news conference. “The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia; it’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries, as well. Including European countries and our country, as well.”
Naturally, Biden said this just a few days after Press Secretary Lyin’ Ginger said Americans are unlikely to face food shortages.
“While we’re not expecting a food shortage here at home, we do anticipate that higher energy, fertilizer, wheat, and corn prices could impact the price of growing and purchasing critical fuel supply, food supplies for countries around the world,” she said .
But now, per the president himself, America will face “real” food shortages. So what’s the plan!!???
Food shortages. Real food shortages. That sounds like a pretty big deal to me. That sounds like something an American president might like to start mobilizing for. You know, we are still America. We are still a dynamic country with millions and millions of square miles of unused farmland that could easily make up for losing Ukraine as the “breadbasket of the world.”
But what’s Slow Joe’s plan?
Get a load of this bunk :
Biden said, “Russia and Ukraine have been the breadbasket of Europe in terms of wheat,” and insisted that he and other leaders had a “long discussion in the G7” about the need to “increase and disseminate” food production.
“In addition to that, we talked about urging all the European countries, and everyone else, to end trade … limitations on sending food abroad,” Biden said. “And, so, we are in the process of working out with our European friends what it would take to help alleviate the concerns relative to the food shortages.”
That’s not a plan. That’s BS. That’s a plan to come up with a plan.
Imperial Japan has just bombed Pearl Harbor, and the left-wing socialists in Nazi Germany have just declared war on us. What’s the plan, President Roosevelt?
Well, we’re going to increase and disseminate war machinery and troops.
If Biden honestly believes food shortages will be “real” — food shortages , y’all: Food . Shortages . — every government alarm, every government priority, everything possible should be done to feed the American people. The first priority must be mobilizing efforts to ensure America can produce enough food to feed its own. Once that’s accomplished, we must do what we can to feed the world.
There is no reason why America cannot become the world’s breadbasket and do so by this summer.
One of the blessings of America is our bounty of plenty. Everyone has enough to eat, a decent place to live, medical care, and all kinds of stuff . That’s a beautiful thing, truly. But this bounty is such a given in American life it blinds us to the idea that life could be anything else. We are blessed, but this blessing helps us forget that for most of human history and much of the world still, things like food, shelter, housing, medical care, and stuff are not the norm.
Full shelves, full bellies, stuff, stuff, stuff… It all comes to us so effortlessly, almost like magic. Store shelves are full because of course, they are!
But beneath this magic is a whole weave of slender threads that make our full shelves and bellies possible, and if just one of those threads breaks, we will face untold misery. And most of us, including myself, are so spoiled by this bounty we have no idea what to do if one of those slender threads breaks. We’re not prepared to hunt or grow or gather.
So here we are, currently living in a country where the American president is predicting “real” food shortages, something this country has not faced in a hundred years, and he’s not doing a damn thing about it… This is especially galling when we live in a bountiful country with all the resources (and then some) to ensure we never again have to depend on a foreign country to feed our own.
This, like the historically high gas prices currently battering the poor and working-class, are perfect opportunities for a leader, a real leader, a compassionate leader, to say, Enough of this outsourcing of the American way of life. America has these resources, and we will never again depend on a slender thread.
But Biden will never do that because he’s a monster who sees the effects of industrial farming and oil drilling on Mother Earth as not worth the benefits those things offer human beings, including Americans.
That’s the bottom line to all this.
That’s why Biden admits he believes America will face “real” food shortages and won’t do a damn thing about it.
Like the rest of the Democrats and organized left, Biden would rather see us suffer and starve than open our own lands to energy and food production.
Do you want to count on China to feed your family? You don’t have to if you stop voting for these sociopaths who call themselves “Democrats.”

“By the time of Bill Clinton’s election in 1992, the Democratic Party had completely repudiated its association with the reforms of the New Deal and Great Society periods. Clinton gutted welfare programs to provide an ample supply of cheap labor for the rich (WHICH NOW MEANS OPEN BORDERS AND NO E-VERIFY!), including a growing layer of black capitalists, and passed the 1994 Federal Crime Bill, with its notorious “three strikes” provision that has helped create the largest prison population in the world.”

Likewise, the Biden-Harris plan for national immigration policy — which seeks to drive up legal and illegal immigration levels to their highest levels in decades — offers a flooded labor market with low wages for U.S. workers and increased bargaining power for big business that has long been supported by Wall Street. JOHN BINDER
“Joe Biden is great on immigration. I guess depends on your perspective. If you’re a human trafficker, or drug dealer, you’d give him an A-plus, but theAmerican people would give him an F. The crisis at our border was not only entirely predictable, it was predicted. I predicted that if you campaign all year long on open borders, amnesty, and health care for illegals, you’re going to get more migrants at the border. That’s what’s happened since the election.”
SEN. TOM COTTON
Many Democrats understand that the welfare checks for foreign children will encourage more illegal immigration, he said:
They know what’s going on. But they know that they can’t say what their true goal is, which is actual open borders with open, uncontrolled migration both ways. And this is a step toward getting rid of borders.
“It’s a globalist mindset and it welcomes anything that moves toward open borders,” he concluded. NEIL MUNRO

By failures of border security, a lack of the enforcement of our immigration laws from within the interior of the United States and huge numbers of visas for high tech workers, the lives and livelihoods of Americans and their children, are being stolen by America’s corrupt political elite who are doing the bidding of those who provide them with huge “Campaign Contributions” (Orwellian euphemism for bribes) pursue legislation that is diametrically opposed to the best interests of America and Americans.

Bidenflation is Making Us Poorer
By Sloan Oliver
It’s amazing how often President Trump was pilloried by the leftist media for comments that later turned out to be 100% correct. For example, January 2017, Trump said that his campaign was spied on. Democrats and their media had a meltdown. Last month, the Durham investigation and the Wall Street Journal proved that candidate Trump, president-elect Trump, and President Trump was, in fact, spied on by the FBI (probably the NSA as well). Then, October 2020, Trump said, “The policies of the Left would unleash an economic disaster of epic proportions.” Again, the Dems and their media (CNN, NY Times , ABC, etc.) had a meltdown. Sadly, we are experiencing Trump’s predicted economic disaster -- historic inflation and record gas prices.
Regarding inflation, when Trump left office, inflation was an annual rate of 1.2%. In the past six months, inflation is out of control. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, year-over-year inflation was 6.2% (October), followed by 6.8%, 7.0%, 7.5%, and 7.9% (in February ). If they used the old method (pre-1980) of determining inflation, it would be over 14.5%. Thank you, Joe, for your Bidenflation.
Throughout history, perhaps nothing has destroyed more governments than food shortages and economic collapse. Except for war, it’s hard to think of anything that creates more panic than not being able to afford basic necessities like food or fuel. Right now, the United States is in danger of falling into those conditions, yet Biden seems to be unconcerned. Worse, he doesn’t even notice it’s happening. The Dems think that record inflation, spiking gas prices, and supply issues will go away if they simply ignore what’s happening. And why won’t they? If a boy can become a girl by mere fantasy, then inflation and economic disaster can certainly be averted by wishful thinking.
Biden’s inflation is the result of his horrendous economic policies and a war on petroleum. President Trump accurately predicted that Bidenflation would lead to $7.00 gas prices . Unfortunately, most Bidenflation is on necessities -- energy and food. Again, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics , since Biden took office, energy is up 26%, gas (here in central GA) is up over 100%. Meat and poultry are up 13%, and used vehicles are up 41%. Consider inflation’s cost to businesses -- labor costs have increased dramatically, if you can even find people willing to work. Even high earners are worried about rising prices. Those making $40K or $50K, the income of many in rural Georgia, are terrified at their shrinking paychecks. Prices are rising far faster than wages.
Through the lens of Econ 101, look at two recent examples of supply and demand: April 2020 we were all “locked down,” not going to school, church, work, etc. -- we were driving less. Demand for gas decreased but supply stayed the same. What happened to gas? Prices dropped to $1.67/gallon (Georgia’s average), 35 cents lower than one month prior. Next, with all those people at home, not at the factory producing goods, supplies dropped. And with tens of millions of people sitting at home, they began home improvement projects -- i.e. buying items such as lumber, flooring, etc. Demand for home improvement items rose while supplies shrank because nobody was producing. What happened to prices at Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc.? They skyrocketed; 2 x 4s tripled in price -- demand rose, supplies shrank.
Regarding current inflation, Biden and his media insist “It’s not me, it’s Putin, it’s COVID” that’s responsible. Know this, whatever they (Biden and Democrats) say isn’t the cause, most certainly is the cause. So, what’s the root cause of Bidenflation?
Last week, Biden told us government spending simply isn’t the cause of inflation. Biden actually said that his historic spending will reduce the deficit and inflation. (Try telling your spouse that your $20,000 credit card charge actually reduced your deficits.) Even though Joe has never been mistaken for a genius, he knows perfectly well that government spending is the cause of inflation. Inflation is a function of the money supply. It’s nothing more than the number of dollars in circulation chasing goods available to purchase. The more money in circulation, the less each single dollar is worth, and prices rise.
Right now, through government regulatory action, Biden has reduced the supply of gas while demand has increased (people are driving more because lockdowns have finally ended). More importantly to our inflation discussion -- in the last year, the U.S. government, with Biden’s insistence, has printed more money than any government in world history. So, Biden greatly expanded the money supply; he reduced the supply of gas while demand for gas increased. Therefore, gas prices will rise, as we’ve seen. Our supply and demand and money supply scenario can be applied to every item in the economy. Prices have risen because the Federal Reserve has greatly expanded the money supply. More dollars in circulation means every dollar buys less than before. The result is higher prices or Bidenflation. It’s not complicated.
To be fair, the huge expansion of the money supply didn’t begin with Biden. It began back in 2008 when the Federal Reserve gave themselves emergency power to print endless amounts of money under the policy of “ quantitative easing (QE).” What is QE? Nobody really understands. It’s bureaucrat doublespeak. QE has been ongoing since 2008, but on steroids with Joe.
In the last year, Democrats and Biden have passed two of the largest spending bills in history, a $1.9 trillion package last March and another $ 1.5 trillion last week. (Recall last year everyone received $1,400 of “free money.”) Those huge spending bills are on top of Biden’s $6 trillion 2022 budget -- spending levels no government in human history has ever attempted, largely because most governments realize such spending will destroy the economy. Not Congress -- they have run up deficits that can never be repaid, unless every dollar is made less valuable; which they’re doing splendidly.
In real numbers, inflation will cost the average household $296 more each month or over $3,500 in 2022 alone. If you’re a big democrat like Obama, Hillary, or Stacey Abrams, that $3,500 means nothing. However, if you make $40,000, that $3,500 in additional costs is a disaster. That level of inflation will dramatically change your lifestyle. Bidenflation is making us poorer.
“Our entire crony capitalist system, Democrat and Republican alike, has become a kleptocracy approaching par with third-world hell-holes. This is the way a great country is raided by its elite.” --- Karen McQuillan
"Along with Obama, Pelosi and Schumer are responsible for incalculable damage done to this country over the eight years of that administration (JOE BIDEN WAS OFF SUCKING OFF BANKSTERS AND BRIBES)." PATRICIA McCARTHY
