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.
BY THE TIME THEY ARE FINISHED, THE DEMOCRAT PARTY OF GAMER LAWYER POLITICIANS WILL HAVE CRIPPLED AMERICA AND PUT VAST RICHES IN THEIR POCKETS DOING IT!
Washington, D.C. (January 6, 2022) – Since President Reagan signed into law the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), five presidents have supported legislation containing an amnesty for a large portion of the illegal immigrant population. All of these pieces of legislation traded amnesty for enforcement, except the most recent, the Biden-Menendez immigration bill (U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021). This bill would have legalized virtually all illegal immigrants in the United States, but actually weakened enforcement. Why have all these bills failed? Is there hope for a future immigration compromise?
In this week’s episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, Jerry Kammer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and a Senior Research Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies, explains how a left-right coalition of immigrant-rights groups, ethnic activists, business interests, and civil libertarians thwarted the immigration reform law enacted by Congress in 1986. The amnesty of millions of illegal immigrants happened right away, but the promise to enforce immigration law, particularly worksite enforcement, was quickly abandoned. This led to the distrust that we have today, which causes many legislators and members of the public to support only immigration legislation devoted to enforcement of the laws.
Kammer, author of Losing Control: How a Left-Right Coalition Blocked Immigration Reform and Provoked the Backlash That Elected Trump, walks the listener through the passage of IRCA; multiple administrations and their attempts to pass immigration legislation; the important institutions, especially liberal institutions, and politicians who have shifted their positions on enforcement; and why enforcement, particularly at the worksite, is so important to controlling illegal immigration and protecting the American worker.
In his closing commentary, Mark Krikorian, the Center’s executive director and host of Parsing Immigration Policy, describes his approach to restoring political stability in immigration policy. The solution starts with a departure from the IRCA approach of granting an amnesty up front for a promise of future enforcement, and includes a rational limit on legal immigration.
JOE BIDEN'S INVASION AND AMERICA'S VAST HOMELESS NUMBERS
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) publicly stated on this week that he “cannot vote” for H.R. 5376, the “Build Back Better Act” (though not citing its immigration provisions), almost definitely dooming it. But the White House has since vowed to “work like hell” to get the measure passed.
As a result of withdrawing the H-1B Selection Final Rule, USCIS will continue to run a lottery, which means that the lowest-skilled foreign workers will continue to capture the lion’s share of H-1Bs every year.
2200 Migrants Cross into One Texas Border Sector over New Year’s Weekend
Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents kicked off the new year with the apprehension of 2,200 migrants. The apprehension included a little girl who made what officials called “the treacherous journey” by herself.
Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason Owens tweeted images revealing the apprehension of 2,200 migrants over the New Year’s Day weekend.
“2022 is off & running,” Chief Owens tweeted.
Agents also stopped seven human smuggling attempts and rescued 12 migrants over the weekend.
Also over the weekend, agents found a young girl who made the “treacherous journey” from her home country to Texas by herself, Owens tweeted.
“When do you think she last felt this safe?” the chief asked. “This little one endured a treacherous journey, alone & afraid. Ask HER what she thinks of the people in green.”
During the first two months of Fiscal Year 2022, which began on October 1, 2021, Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 58,000 migrants. This represents an increase of nearly 239 percent over the same period one year earlier.
Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 1.9 million migrants who illegally crossed the southwest border with Mexico between ports of entry during 2021, Breitbart Texas reported. Another estimated half-million migrants managed to avoid apprehension and sneak into the U.S.
An All-Time High 4.5 Million People Quit Their Jobs in November as Cheap Labor Bubble Burst Continues
It’s not only difficult for employers to fill open positions in the U.S. economy. It’s increasingly challenging to hold on to workers already on the payroll, especially in traditionally lower-wage jobs.
A record number of people quit their jobs in November, the latest Labor Department survey of hires, openings, and quits showed Tuesday.
The number of quits rose to 4.53 million in November, according to the Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. That was a nine percent increase from the prior month and the highest on record. The previous high had been set in September at 4.36 million.
Quits have been at historically elevated levels since passing 3.5 million in March of 2021. On average since the turn of the century, there were 2.7 million quits per month.
Three percent of the total workforce quit in November, matching the record high hit in September.
One of the factors driving the high level of quits is the confidence workers have that they can find another job that will pay better or offer better working conditions. The total number job openings in November was 10.56 million. That’s lower than the 11 million consensus forecast and down from 11.09 million in October. But it is extremely high historically speaking and well above the 6.88 million people out of work and looking for employment in November. The prepandemic twenty-first century average number of openings is 4.5 million, so the economy has twice as many available jobs as normal.
While the development of a high level of quits has been labeled the Great Resignation, there is some evidence that a good part of what is driving this is the popping of the cheap labor bubble. The high-powered economy and reduced level of immigration created in the Trump era is now forcing companies and entire sectors of the economy to unwind business models built around the idea that the supply of labor was nearly unlimited, eliminating the need for employers to raise wages or improve conditions to expand payrolls. Now employers are forced to compete for workers.
This can be seen in the elevated rate of hires in the month. The JOLTS report showed that there were 6.7 million hires in the month, which suggests that many of the quitters were not people leaving the workforce but people leaving to work in better jobs.
A gauge of employment from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta shows that people who have switched jobs have seen median wage growth of 4.3 percent while those who have stayed at the same employer have seen wages grow by 3.1 percent. So quitters are prospering.
Leisure and hospitality, one of the sectors most dependent on cheap labor, have seen wage gains of 3.8 percent over the 12-months through November, above the 3.7 percent overall. Trade and transportation workers have seen wages rise 3.9 percent.
The quits level for leisure and hospitality topped one million in November for the first time ever. The rate was 6.4 percent, a full percentage point higher than the October rate and the highest of all sectors of the economy. The sub-category of accommodations and food services saw the level rise to 6.9 percent, also a record.
The Atlanta Fed’s wage tracker also breaks out workers by level of education. Here too the evidence suggests that a good part of what we’re seeing in the current labor market is the fallout from the unwind of cheap labor business models. This year, for the first time ever, wage gains for those with a high school education or less have outpaced those with more education. As of November, the 12-month gain for high school or less-educated workers was 4 percent. Those with Associates Degrees had seen 3.2 percent wage gains. And those with Bachelor’s Degrees had seen wages rise by 3.4 percent.
Last month, Neil Munro reported that the Biden administration is trying to reinflate the cheap labor bubble by importing more workers.
Nationwide, politicians are facing pressure from companies who want the federal government to re-inflate the cheap-labor bubble that it started in 1990. In Washington, that business pressure has added three cheap-labor giveaways buried deep in the pending Build Back Better bill.
Biden’s deputies are trying to re-inflate the cheap-labor bubble. So far, they have imported roughly 1.5 million migrants — both legal immigrants and illegal migrants — during 2021.
Openings fell in manufacturing for both durable goods makers and nondurables, while hires were steady in durables and down only slightly in nondurables. It is too early to tell whether this combination points to coming relief from some supply chain problems or suggests a slowing in growth due to those problems.
