While sending nearly $14 billion to help Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, President Joe Biden fiercely opposed a similar amount for a border wall along the United States-Mexico border to stem illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

On Wednesday, Biden announced more American taxpayer money would be going toward protecting Ukraine’s borders. Those funds will go to drones, grenade launchers, pistols, rifles, machine guns, shotguns, and ammunition, among other things.

With the help of Republicans and Democrats in Congress, Biden is sending nearly $14 billion in aid to Ukraine in addition to about $350 million in military assistance. Biden had initially asked for about $10 billion to help Ukraine.

On the U.S.-Mexico border, which remains porous, with skyrocketing illegal immigration, Biden has been opposed to continuing the construction of a border wall.

In 2019 and 2020, Biden campaigned against former President Trump’s wall construction project which had cost about $15 billion — only a billion more than what Biden is now spending to protect Ukraine’s borders.

“There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration,” Biden said in August 2020.

Nearly 460 miles of border wall were constructed by the Trump administration, most in places where old barriers were replaced with tall, new steel bollard fencing. Construction was completely halted when Biden took office.

As Breitbart News reported, Biden has spent about $6 million every day to not build the border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The majority of the nearly 2,000-mile border remains open, with no barriers.

New ICE Report Masks the Collapse of Immigration Enforcement

Washington, D.C. (March 16, 2022) – New analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies reveals that the new immigration enforcement report released last week provides a very selective and opaque picture of ICE activity. Under the Biden policies and acting ICE director Tae Johnson’s leadership, and during a historic surge in illegal arrivals at the southern border, ICE is arresting and removing even fewer deportable aliens — and even fewer criminals — than was the case in 2020, when ICE was operating under the pandemic lockdown restrictions. The new ICE report is not the comprehensive statistical enforcement report that typically is released in December of each year with details on ICE arrests, detention, removals, and more, broken down by ICE field office. Instead, this report aims to mask the collapse of immigration enforcement under Biden policies, which have severely limited the types of cases ICE officers are allowed to work. The Center’s analysis, authored by Jessica Vaughan, the Center’s director of policy studies, provides the most important metrics from the new ICE annual report alongside the same metrics from 2020. The comparison begins to reveal the extent to which enforcement has been stifled by Biden policies. “The narrative-driven report released late by the Biden administration does not fulfill the requirement set by Congress that ICE provide an annual report detailing data from ICE’s broad responsibilities. But the comparison of the limited 2021 numbers provided in this report to the 2020 numbers is very troubling in regard to public safety. Congress should demand a complete 2021 ERO report, as has been provided in the past,” said Vaughan. “This report is a transparent attempt to gloss over the near abolition of immigration enforcement and the disastrous public safety consequences for American communities,” Vaughan continued. “The administration seems to hope that if it talks about percentages, people won’t notice that the actual numbers of removals are in the tank. But people are noticing cases of criminals who should have been deported, and who would have been under normal circumstances, but who are still here committing more crimes,” Vaughan said. She noted the example of a visa overstayer in California, who recently murdered his three daughters and a custodian [Man who killed 3 daughters in church was in US illegally | abc10.com], and cases cited in federal lawsuits brought by states hoping to enjoin the Biden policies.   NAFTA WAS PERPETRATED BY BILL CLINTON ACTING WITH  JOE BIDEN, MEXICO AND THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS.

According to this book, republished in 1979 by the Department of Chicano Studies at Cal State LA, students of Scandinavian, Dutch and English background are dullards, blacks are ugly and inferior, and those “Mongols” with the slanted eyes lack enterprise.

John Boozman: ‘We’ve Got to Hold Employers Accountable’ for Hiring Illegal Aliens 5,802 Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images MATTHEW BOYLE 13 Mar 2022Washington, DC0 13:21 Sen. John Boozman (R-AR), who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump in his reelection bid this year, told Breitbart News on Saturday that he believes the United States needs to “beef up” the E-Verify system and “make that mandatory.” “We need to do a couple things: We need to beef up the E-Verify system and make that mandatory,” Boozman said. “We need to make it such that we do hold employers accountable — they don’t need to be the immigration agents. But certainly, keep the Remain in Mexico policy. And so importantly, we need to announce to the world that we’re back to keeping folks out that don’t belong here, and securing the border, and making it such that it’s going to be very difficult if you try.” Boozman’s comments came during an in-depth interview on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel, during which he recounted his history of leading on the issue of immigration. Way back in April 2013, before many other senators had even taken a position on the then-forthcoming “Gang of Eight” amnesty plan, Boozman publicly came out against the proposal, and his office told Breitbart News he was opposed to it. His public opposition — he was joined in those early days by just a handful of others — ran counter to the conventional wisdom and career political class in Washington, DC.

(Photo by John Moore/Getty Images) The Republican National Committee (RNC) had just published an “autopsy” of the 2012 election, surmising that failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney lost the 2012 election because Republicans needed to support open borders immigration policies. Romney is now a U.S. Senator from Utah but, then, was the former governor of Massachusetts and 2012 GOP presidential nominee who had just lost to now-former President Barack Obama, a Democrat, the year before. Republicans were desperate to figure out a path forward, and many embraced the push for amnesty, which culminated in the Gang of Eight amnesty bill — which later passed the U.S. Senate with 14 GOP votes. But, despite eventually getting it through the then-Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate, the bill never got consideration in the GOP-controlled U.S. House. Therefore, the legislation died and amnesty was not enacted into federal law in 2013 or 2014 — and that is, in large part, thanks to the few courageous voices like Boozman who fought it in the lead-up to Trump’s rise into the White House. “My thing is amnesty rewards behavior that you don’t want,” Boozman told Breitbart News when asked why he came out in opposition to the plan then. “It was kind of like, ‘let’s do amnesty and then we’ll secure the border at a later date or promise to do this.’ That’s essentially what happened with President Reagan. He got snookered into the same thing where you have the amnesty provision going forward, but the border never gets secured. If you don’t secure the border, then you’re right back in the same situation.” Boozman’s opposition to the Gang of Eight amnesty plan — along with work by then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Rand Paul (R-KY) to fight it as well as pushes from many House members like then-Rep. Tom Cotton (R-AR), now a U.S. Senator from Arkansas — helped sink the plan. That led to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, when the now-former president shattered the political consultant vision of open borders by openly campaigning for a wall along the U.S. border and strict immigration enforcement. Trump’s electoral success in 2016, and later his policy successes aimed at curbing illegal immigration — he nearly finished building the wall in his first term and significantly slowed the flow of illegal immigration through things like the Remain in Mexico policy and the Migrant Protection Protocols more broadly — proved politically popular as well. Republicans party-wide have generally, with rare exception, embraced that vision that Trump championed and was first laid out by those few voices fighting the Gang of Eight amnesty plan back in the day. Of those 14 Republicans who voted for the Gang of Eight amnesty, nine are no longer in the U.S. Senate just nine years later — and only five remain. Of those remaining five, it is safe to say at least two, probably three, of them would never vote for that bill again — and maybe the other two would reconsider as well. “So, for many, many reasons, I was adamantly opposed [to the Gang of Eight] and you’re right — it has moved in the right direction,” Boozman said. “President Trump not only campaigned on it, but unlike so many others, he actually did something about it. When he got to office, he looked at the areas that needed to be beefed up on the border through additional fencing and electronic sensors and did a good job of that. And he instituted the Remain in Mexico policy so that, if you were seeking asylum, you knew you weren’t going to be in the United States waiting for the backlog of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people and, again, allowing you to be here without any problem.” To this day, Boozman continues to champion the voices of Americans forgotten by the political elites on immigration policy. He recently released a campaign ad in which a family member of someone killed years ago by an illegal alien — an Angel Family — endorsed his reelection. Asked about why he focuses on this side of the issue, Boozman told Breitbart News that it humanizes victims of crimes that should not happen. “It’s one thing if you say it, it’s another thing if I say it in the situations where we’re at, but when you’ve got a lady who’s so compelling and just tells her story and the tragedy that fell upon her family,” Boozman said. “This simply didn’t need to happen. That’s something that does grip the hearts of the American public and really does humanize — we can look at statistics, we can talk about two million people, we can talk about crimes committed. Certainly, everybody that comes over here doesn’t commit crimes, but you get in a situation now where the Biden administration is so crazy in the sense that they won’t deport anybody. Her message is compelling; I think it puts a real face on what we’re facing. Because of that, it’s something that the average person can relate to, and it’s something I think is very effective in telling the message.” WATCH SEN. JOHN BOOZMAN’S (R-AR) CAMPAIGN AD: Since President Joe Biden, another Democrat, came to the White House, he has undone much of Trump’s popular and effective immigration crackdown measures — which Boozman said has effectively rolled out the red carpet to the rest of the world’s migrants to come here. “The other thing that was so important was he [Trump] essentially said to the world, ‘look, the border is closed and we’re going to do everything we can to protect our border,’ unlike President Biden when he got in, when he got rid of the Remain in Mexico policy and essentially said, ‘come on down, and if you can get here, you’re welcome to stay,’” Boozman said. “So, it’s a tremendous difference in approach, but as a result right now, there were two million people last year and we’re on track to be in that direction this year. If you’re apprehending two million people, there’s no telling how many people in addition to that get through because there’s a lot of people getting through because the Border Patrol agents are so busy taking care of unaccompanied minors and all those kinds of things. So, the other thing too — I’ve been to the border so many times, these are good people down there. They’re working so hard and they’re discouraged. When they had the listening sessions with the brass down from Homeland Security, they booed them and they got in shouting matches. They’re as discouraged as the rest of us. We could talk about all the crazy things they’re doing now too. $450,000 per illegal immigrant? The idea they can use their arrest warrants as documents to allow them to fly? You can’t make this stuff up.” In GOP primaries from coast to coast this year, voters continually say they are looking for fighters — and, more importantly, candidates of their word. It’s moments like the Gang of Eight plan push that truly test whether a senator is with the voters who sent them to office or whether they will cave to special interests lobbying for problem-laden legislative proposals like that. Asked about this pressure, Boozman said the calculation is very simple for him. “I was under a lot of pressure, just like you come under pressure, but my guiding thing — and I campaigned on this, and I actually do what President Trump did, which is when I campaigned on something, I do follow through,” Boozman said. “This is a national security issue. It was then. It is now. But my things were: You need to secure the border — No amnesty. English as the official language. These are simple things, simple truths, that we simply have to do and we didn’t do, so we’re in the situation we are now. The other thing we have to remember is the border is secure — on the Mexican side — because the cartels know everybody that crosses, and if you don’t pay them a portion, you don’t get across. That’s my thing is this is a very, very important issue. It was important to the people of Arkansas back then and it is now. It truly is a national security issue. We were able to ultimately prevail, but as you say, it was a very difficult time for a while. You talk about these things, and as you said, the facts weren’t really out. You get the facts out and you explain to people the ramifications of this and that’s how you prevent bad things from happening. I think you get judged on two things — your work, and there’s some things we need to get done, and then, very importantly, we need to keep bad things from happening. That’s particularly important with this administration.” Trump clearly recognized in Boozman someone who was ideologically aligned and willing to fight for these priorities as Boozman was one of if not the first major endorsement he made in the 2022 cycle. On March 8, 2021, more than 15 months before Boozman’s primary, Trump endorsed the Arkansas senator, saying in a statement that Boozman is “a great fighter for the people of Arkansas.” “He is tough on Crime, strong on the Border, a great supporter of our Military and our Vets, and fights for our farmers every day,” Trump said of Boozman. “He supports our Second Amendment and has my Complete and Total Endorsement!” U.S. President Donald Trump bows his head in prayer while attending the National Prayer Breakfast February 2, 2017, in Washington, DC. Also pictured is Sen. John Boozman (R-AR). (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images) When Biden came into the White House, he almost immediately undid everything Trump had in place and, as a result, more than two million migrants have streamed into the United States since he took the Oath of Office. Boozman thinks the solution is very simple: Reimplement Trump’s policies and crack down on employers hiring illegal aliens. “Biden did all of the things you said and then the other thing was he essentially said to the world, ‘come on over because we’re not doing these things and it’s very easy to get into the United States,’” Boozman said. “We have to reinstate those policies that President Trump used very, very effectively. The Remain in Mexico policy, that was a new thing. He pressured the Mexican government into cooperating. We’re a great country; we’ve got levers we can pull to make people cooperate. He did that and it made a huge difference. So we’ve got to do those things, and again at some point, we’ve got to hold employers accountable. If the work is not here, if they don’t have jobs, then they’re not going to come. The other side of this, for those that are trying to take care of their families, that are impoverished in the rest of the world, you can certainly understand why they want to be here, but we are a nation of laws. You have to do this right. The people that resent this the most are the people that worked through the system, did everything right, and it might have taken five or ten years to work through the process. But again, I think that’s how you do it: Hold employers accountable and then no amnesty, and kind of go down that path.” Not only is the Trump vision for immigration good policy, Boozman says, but it is also good politics for Republicans. Republicans have made historic gains in recent elections, not just with white working-class voters but also with key minority groups like Hispanic and black voters — and all signs point to continued GOP growth in those communities as a result of this America First vision. In fact, a Wall Street Journal survey published last week shows the GOP leading Democrats by nine percent with Hispanic voters and more than doubling support in the black community since late last year as well. “I agree totally — if you look at President Trump’s policies, you had the best economy in 50 years,” Boozman said. “Lowering regulations, lowering taxes, real growth in wages amongst the groups that you’re talking about, and real growth in employment. That’s what everyone wants. If you don’t have a job, if you can’t make a living wage, everything else is pretty unimportant. He did a tremendous job, and we’re seeing the contrast in that now with the mess we’re in regarding this horrific inflation and a poor economy. What they want to do now is just add gasoline to the flames with this massive spending bill — which I think this is what killed it with the help of the American people, but on the other hand, it just still won’t go away. You’re right, these policies are simple truths. They work and really do produce good results.” LISTEN TO SEN. JOHN BOOZMAN (R-AR) ON BREITBART NEWS SATURDAY: Currently, the Chamber is lobbying lawmakers in Washington, D.C. and President Joe Biden’s administration to artificially inflate the U.S. labor market by doubling legal immigration levels — providing big business with a never-ending flow of cheaper, foreign workers to hire rather than pulling millions of jobless Americans off the sidelines. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens are being released into the U.S. interior every few months. From January 2021 to August 2021, for example, more than half a million were released into the U.S. interior. In January of this year, more than 62,500 border crossers and illegal aliens were released into the U.S. interior — a foreign population more than twice the size of Princeton, New Jersey; nearly twice the size of Lexington, Massachusetts; and more than six times the size of Jackson, Wyoming. J.D. Vance Snubs Chamber of Commerce as Other Senate GOP Candidates Vie for Support AP Photo/Jeff Dean, File JOHN BINDER 15 Mar 20220 3:15 Republican J.D. Vance, the New York Times best-selling author running for Senate in Ohio, is openly snubbing the United States Chamber of Commerce as his GOP primary opponents compete for the group’s support. The Ohio Chamber of Commerce, an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, invited all of the state’s Senate candidates to join them for interviews about business-related issues. Republican candidates Josh Mandel, Jane Timken, Mike Gibbons, and Matt Dolan took the Chamber up on the offer as well as likely Democrat nominee Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH). Timken has accepted about $1,000 in campaign donations from local Chamber of Commerce groups, while the Ohio Chamber has previously backed Dolan in his state Senate races. Vance, on the other hand, snubbed the Ohio Chamber and did not sit down with executives for a candidate interview. The Chamber, as Breitbart News has chronicled for years, backs huge increases to legal immigration levels, amnesty for illegal aliens, U.S. free trade with China, and outsourcing American manufacturing to foreign countries. Currently, the Chamber is lobbying lawmakers in Washington, D.C. and President Joe Biden’s administration to artificially inflate the U.S. labor market by doubling legal immigration levels — providing big business with a never-ending flow of cheaper, foreign workers to hire rather than pulling millions of jobless Americans off the sidelines. Such flooded labor markets from mass legal immigration to the U.S. have had a devastating impact on the nation’s working and middle class, while redistributing billions in wealth to the highest earners, big businesses, real estate investors, and Wall Street, as well as driving capital out of small communities to the coasts. Vance is campaigning on reducing legal immigration levels to boost U.S. wages and job opportunities for Americans, cracking down on illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, and opposing amnesty for illegal aliens. The Chamber, like other corporate special interest groups, has long opposed tariffs on foreign imports and has lobbied against decoupling the American economy from China. Instead, the Chamber has lobbied Biden to return the U.S. to the job-killing free trade consensus. From 2001 t0 2018, for instance, the U.S.-China trade deficit — which the Chamber has called a “sign of economic good health” — has eliminated 3.7 million American jobs. Most recently, the Chamber is celebrating the U.S.-South Korea free trade agreement known as KORUS that has eliminated at least 95,000 American jobs from 2012 to 2016. Vance remains a fierce proponent of tariffs on foreign imports to punish U.S. companies that outsource American working and middle class jobs to China, India, and other nations.

THERE IS NO GREATER DANGER TO AMERICA THAN BRIBES SUCKING LYING GAMER LAWYER JOE BIDEN! In January of this year, more than 62,500 border crossers and illegal aliens were released into the U.S. interior — a foreign population more than twice the size of Princeton, New Jersey; nearly twice the size of Lexington, Massachusetts; and more than six times the size of Jackson, Wyoming. Watch: Mo Brooks Shows Illegal Aliens Being ‘Welcomed’ at Southern Border 1,086 JOHN BINDER 11 Mar 20220 3:00 Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), running for Alabama’s open Senate seat, visited the United States-Mexico border, where he says he witnessed border crossers and illegal aliens being “welcomed” with “freebies” by President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS). During a visit to the Yuma, Arizona, sector of the border, Brooks said he watched as border crossers and illegal aliens streamed into the U.S. “without any inhibition — no fear whatsoever.” “Why? Because they are welcomed, welcomed as soon as you come to the southern border,” Brooks said, noting that the border wall in the region remains unfinished. “My visit to Yuma, Arizona’s U.S.-Mexico border confirms what all informed Americans know: there is no limit to the freebies the Biden Administration hands out as it encourages tsunami after tsunami of illegal aliens,” Brooks said in a statement: Every American should be angered by the lies the Biden Administration propagates as it tries to fool the American people into believing America has operational security of our own border. In a word, what I saw was sickening. Illegal aliens ran to waiting Border Patrol agents and transportation rather than running away. [Emphasis added] The Biden Administration’s total failure at the Southern Border contributes to roughly 2,000 Americans killed each year— dead at the hands of illegal aliens; 30,000+ Americans dead each year from overdoses on deadly narcotics smuggled through our porous southern border; blue collar Americans suffering job losses and roughly $2,500 in wage suppression due to artificial labor supply surges; and over $130 billion per year in net tax losses as illegal aliens and their families consume far more in taxes than they contribute. [Emphasis added] This week, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) blasted Biden for doing “nothing” to stop illegal immigration and drug trafficking into American communities along the border. In 2021, more than two million border crossers and illegal aliens arrived at the southern border. This year, experts predict more than 2.1 million will arrive. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens are being released into the U.S. interior every few months. From January 2021 to August 2021, for example, more than half a million were released into the U.S. interior. In January of this year, more than 62,500 border crossers and illegal aliens were released into the U.S. interior — a foreign population more than twice the size of Princeton, New Jersey; nearly twice the size of Lexington, Massachusetts; and more than six times the size of Jackson, Wyoming.

The huge and growing population of discarded Americans rarely gets attention in Washington D.C. — especially by the pro-migration lobbies funded by businesses and progressives. On Tuesday, March 15, for example, Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) will hold a hearing to “examine the challenges immigrants face in seeking lawful permanent resident status, and the need to overhaul and modernize the legal immigration system to preserve family unity and grow our economy.” The three scheduled witnesses all favor migration: An Indian graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, Athulya Rajakumar, and two immigration lawyers — Stephen Legomsky and Lynden Melmed. “To the extent that this massive [sidelining of Americans] reflects social problems, then bringing in more immigrants lets us ignore the social problems — whether it’s the obesity and disability crisis, the opioid epidemic, crime, all of those things that are contributing to this problem,” Camarota told Breitbart News. “What immigration does is let you just ignore it,” he added. Padilla’s witness panel does not include Déjà Thomas, the California-based author of a new survey of 2,000 black respondents in immigrant-heavy southern California. The survey shows that California’s high-migration/low-wage economy has sidelined almost 70 percent of Californian black workers who lost their jobs in the pandemic. “Black workers in times of crisis, in times of economic recessions and downturns, are oftentimes the first to be let go from work, and then the last to be hired back,” Thomas told Business Insider. “We see the symptoms of the Black jobs crisis every day: bad jobs, forced migration, unsafe and discriminatory workplace practices, occupational displacement, and more,”  said the report by the Center for the Advancement of Racial Equity at Work, at the University of California at Los Angeles. The report continues: As previously discussed, forced migration and displacement of Black communities in Southern California has been going on for decades. The “Black Flight” terminology often used to describe it maliciously mis-characterizes the [black] reality of forced migration and displacement, due in part to job insecurity and the speculative housing market increasing costs. According to the findings above, places like the Inland Empire and San Diego have fewer social and community safety nets for Black workers, as well as limited employment opportunities. The report noted: “60% of [survey] participants reported a 2020 personal income of under $50,000, which includes those who remained employed.” Camarota’s federal data show that roughly 6.3 million American black men and women aged 18 to 64 have been sidelined from participation in the labor force. Sidelined Americans are not counted as part of the labor force, which consists of employed people with jobs and unemployed people looking for jobs, said Camarota. But the numbers can be calculated from the official estimate of the “Labor Participation Rate” and those numbers are rising, he explained. The numbers are getting worse as the federal government imports more foreign workers, he said. “Back in 2000, looking at native-borns [men and women, aged] from 16 to 64, it used to be the case that there were 35 million not in the labor force — now there’s 45.3 million … not in the labor force, and not [counted as] unemployed,” Camarota illustrated. During the same period, the number of working-age immigrants rose by nine million, from 18.4 million to 27.6 million, even as many manufacturing jobs were exported to Mexico and China. Some employers favor legal immigrants and illegal migrants because they are often younger, healthier, hardworking — and very compliant. Forty-three percent of the 45 million sidelined Americans are men, revealing a sidelined population of 19.3 million men — not including jailed men, he said. “They sleep on their parents’ couch or their mother’s basement or mooch off of a girlfriend. A lot of them are on disability, some of them engage in illicit activity,” he said. The government could pressure companies to hire some of the sidelined men, although many will never work again, he said, adding: We are not going to get everybody out of the labor force back in, but there are clearly millions who have worked and could work again. You have to think of this as a continuum. My [relative] has a boyfriend, his son is an alcoholic, and he’s 59. He hasn’t worked in years — he’s dependent on his in-laws and his wife. That guy is never going to work again. However, [I know] a 22-year-old, just out of community college, just hanging out at his home and doing nothing. But he actually used to work pretty well over at the local Shoppers Food Warehouse. Could he be drawn back into the labor force? Absolutely. That’s the continuum. “If we just got it back to what it was in 2000, we’d have 4 million more [male] workers,” plus 6 million more women in jobs, he said. “If we got it back to what it was in 1980, you’d have 10 million [men and women] more.” In 2000, the Labor Participation Rate for native-born Americans was 77.3 percent. By 2010, it had dropped to 73.1 percent, although almost 10 percent of the unemployed had lost work because the federally-aided housing bubble had burst in 2008. The labor rate slid down to 72.8 percent in 2016, a loss of almost 1 percentage point over President Barack Obama’s eight years. Yet the native-born labor rate climbed by 1.3 percentage points to 74.1 percent after three years of President Donald Trump’s lower-immigration policies. That gain brought two million Americans off the sidelines and back into mainstream American life. Amid the 2020 coronavirus crash, the rate dropped 1.5 percentage points, back down to 72.6 percent. Under President Joe Biden, the rate climbed by a 0.6 percentage point in 2021, fueled by heavy spending and the arrival of the coronavirus vaccine days after the 2020 election. Most progressives do not care about the sidelined native-born Americans, Camarota explained: “It reflects progressive ideology about very generous welfare and a completely permissive immigration system.” The uncaring perspective is “coupled with the business community’s desire for more and more cheap labor, and indifference to the crowding-out of American workers,” he added. But if the government tried, “within a decade, we could get it back to what it was in 2007,” at 75 percentage points, putting more than 2 million Americans back to work, Camarota predicted. The federal government does little about the problem, even though taxpayers must pay the welfare, crime, and civic costs of the “dislocated American workers,” he said. Since at least 1990, the D.C. establishment has used a wide variety of excuses and explanations 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. Pro-migration groups claim the immigrants must be accepted because the United States is a “Nation of Immigrants,” or a “Nation of Welcome.” They argue that the migrants must be rescued from crime, war, racism, political persecution, sexism, or poverty; must be reunited with their parents or their children; and are needed by employers in Silicon Valley, agriculture, nursing homes, or restaurants. The advocates also argue that migrants are needed because Americans are too lazy to do the needed work, because cheap migrant labor cuts inflation, because migrants create jobs for Americans, and even because Americans deported the migrants. The self-serving economic strategy of extraction migration has no stopping point, and it is harmful to ordinary Americans because it cuts their career opportunities and their wages while also raising their housing costs. Extraction migration also curbs Americans’ productivity, shrinks their political clout, and widens the regional wealth gaps between the Democrats’ coastal states and the Republicans’ Heartland states. The economic strategy also kills many migrants, violates workplace standards, separates families, and extracts wealth from the home countries. An economy built on extraction migration also radicalizes Americans’ democratic, compromise-promoting civic culture and allows wealthy elites to ignore despairing Americans at the bottom of society. Migration is also backed by university progressives who desire to manage the chaos of a diverse society rather than be sidelined forever by cooperating citizens in a stable republic. 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. Biden Gives ‘Temporary’ Amnesty to 75K Afghans in U.S. Despite Vetting Failures 11 Barbara Davidson/BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images JOHN BINDER 16 Mar 20220 3:21 President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is giving temporary quasi-amnesty status to nearly 75,000 Afghans in the United States, including those fast-tracked into the U.S. over the last seven months despite vetting failures. To date, Biden has resettled more than 85,000 Afghans in American communities across 46 states since mid-August 2021. That resettlement failed to properly vet Afghans against counter-terrorism databases, the Department of Defense’s Inspector General revealed last month. As of November 2021, the report states 50 Afghans already in the U.S. have been flagged for “significant security concerns.” Most of the unvetted Afghans flagged for possible terrorism ties have since disappeared in the U.S. In one instance, only three of 31 Afghans flagged months ago for security concerns could be located. Despite the vetting failures, Biden is continuing to bring Afghans to the U.S. at least through August. Currently, some 100,000 Afghans are seeking U.S. entry but remain in Afghanistan. Now, DHS will provide Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to tens of thousands of Afghans — helping them evade deportation from the U.S. and providing them with work permits to take American jobs. The move will help keep nearly 75,000 Afghans in the U.S. “The delay in issuing TPS for Afghanistan was purely intentional. Secretary Mayorkas didn’t do it right after our botched withdrawal to protect Afghans already here, but instead, because he wanted to increase the amount of Afghans in the country to benefit,” RJ Hauman with the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) said. “Now he has a sufficient Afghan population on U.S. soil, and suddenly a TPS designation is warranted,” Hauman continued. Most recently, Biden’s Afghan resettlement operation came under more scrutiny when a Commander for the U.S. Navy Reserves was charged with allegedly taking bribes from Afghans who paid him to secure them Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs). According to the charges, the Commander was paid by more than 20 Afghans to write up and submit fake recommendation letters for SIVs to the U.S. As part of the scheme, the Commander allegedly claimed that the Afghans aided the U.S. Armed Forces, though they never did. TPS serves as a quasi-amnesty for foreign nationals, created under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1990 (INA), that prevents deportations for those from countries experiencing famine, war, or natural disasters. Since the Clinton administration, TPS has been transformed into a de facto amnesty program as the Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and now Biden administrations have continuously renewed the program for a variety of countries. As of 2021, more than 400,000 foreign nationals live in the U.S. on TPS. John Binder is a reporter for Breitbart News. Email him at jbinder@breitbart.com. Follow him on Twitter here.
