20 Signs Of The Staggering Decline Of The American Middle Class Family
We just got more evidence that the middle class is being systematically destroyed in America. At this point, millions of people out there have already grown accustomed to barely scraping by from month to month. But that is not what being “middle class” is supposed to be about. Middle-class families should be able to make more money than they have to spend on everyday necessities because is only by doing so that they can build long-term wealth. Unfortunately, income growth has not kept up with the pace of the rising cost of living, and millions of households have taken massive amounts of debt. At the same time, the labor market doesn't offer good-paying jobs that support middle-class life, and the lack of these positions has been contributing to the decline of this income group all across the country. In the early 1970s, the middle class accounted for around 60 percent of the population, but now middle-income households are rapidly becoming a minority in the United States. And as economic conditions continue to deteriorate, millions of hard-working families all over America are being stretched financially like never before. “In America, the middle class can no longer afford retirement. Middle-class Americans face sharp economic inequality, with ownership of financial assets highly concentrated among the wealthy,” explained Tyler Bond, NIRS research manager. “Now that we have a retirement system largely built around the individual ownership of financial assets in 401(k) accounts, middle-class Americans are struggling to accumulate sufficient financial assets during their working years. This means the retirement outlook for many in the middle class is bleak at best.” Since the onset of the health crisis, the U.S. economy has been decaying at an alarming pace. Over the past two years, the middle class has gotten smaller and smaller in this country, and now it seems that another economic downturn is upon us once again. So many families are already living on the edge right now. Recent surveys have exposed that well over 50% of the population is living paycheck to paycheck and that most Americans don't have emergency savings or a financial cushion to fall back on. When you are living on the edge, there is always a danger that you could fall over. Since 2020, we have never seen so many middle-class Americans falling straight into poverty. In other words, unless dramatic changes happen in America, the middle class is going to be absolutely eviscerated in the next decade. We must wake up now. The middle class is dying right before our eyes, and if we want to save it, we must take action now. Today, we compiled a series of new numbers that expose the rapid downfall of the U.S. middle-class.
So, while we in America are getting a fair number of sex traffickers; mountains of fentanyl; low skilled, illegal workers who drive down wages; and more welfare mouths to feed, the Latin Americans who come here mostly want to work and mostly hew to traditional western, Christian values.

Like the US, England is being buried under illegal aliens and economic migrants
With Biden in office, America’s southern border has vanished entirely. Illegal aliens crossed the border over 1.6 million times in 2021 and, this year, they’re going to break that record, given that they’re marching across the border at the rate of around 200,000 per month (a number that may increase if Biden gets rid of the Title 42 health restriction). Once here, if the illegal aliens are caught, the government feeds them, clothes them, gives them free baby formula (if they need it), and ships them across the country to wherever they want to go. But believe it or not, we’re the lucky ones. What’s happening in Europe and, especially, in England is infinitely worse.
Paul Joseph Watson has put together a video that uses the plight of one small village as its starting point to explain England’s invasion—something done with the government’s complicity. Linton-on-Ouse, in North Yorkshire, has about 700 residents. It’s just received word from the British home office that it will be receiving 1,500 North African migrants. That is, 1,500 foreign Muslims, most of them men.
I had the pleasure of living in Yorkshire for a year as an exchange student in the very early 1980s. Although I’d originally dreamed of Oxford or Cambridge, I realized once I’d arrived in England how lucky I was to be sent north. Oxbridge was already very international and, while it looked like the England of old, it didn’t necessarily feel like that. Yorkshire, however, was English. The people living there had lived there for generations, some with roots stretching back centuries. It was an exchange student’s dream.
Image: European illegal aliens. Rumble screen grab.
Since then, however, England opened her borders, beginning with central Europeans, Saudis, Bangladeshis, and Pakistanis. Even before 2015, when Angela Merkel opened Europe and England to an unlimited number of Muslim economic refugees from North Africa and the Middle East, Yorkshire, once the most English of counties, was home to the fourth highest Muslim population in England. For example, by 2016, in Dewsbury, Yorkshire, the Savile Town community was made up almost entirely of Muslims, many of whom never had contact with native Britons and all of whom lived entirely under Sharia law within England.
In the early 2000s, a friend told me that Yorkshire was very attractive to Muslim immigrants because it had a higher Jewish population than other regions in England. The new immigrants didn’t want to live with the Jews. They wanted to oust them by buying property in Jewish communities and making life so unpleasant for the Jewish residents, many of them with deep roots in Yorkshire, that they had to leave. (You can read more about the Islamification of Yorkshire here).
It's not just Jews who are affected when there’s mass Muslim immigration. Muslim men view white, non-Muslim women as prostitutes and have operated vast grooming gangs across England, especially in the north. They’ve been aided in this by the fact that, as in America, the family unit in England has broken down. This means that there are thousands of emotionally broken girls who’ve never had a loving father to build up their self-worth and who have no male family members to protect them.
So, while we in America are getting a fair number of sex traffickers; mountains of fentanyl; low skilled, illegal workers who drive down wages; and more welfare mouths to feed, the Latin Americans who come here mostly want to work and mostly hew to traditional western, Christian values. The same cannot be said for the North African and Middle Eastern Muslim men who are pouring into England and Western Europe.

Biden enforces largest Medicare premium hike in history while funneling more profits to private insurers
In a move that received minimal media attention, last week the Biden administration reaffirmed its decision to enact the largest Medicare premium hike in the program’s 57-year history. The president is also endorsing a plan to funnel more money to private insurance companies and escalating plans to privatize the government insurance program for seniors and those with disabilities. Medicare enrolled 62.7 million people in 2021.
The White House announced May 27 that Medicare recipients will not see their premiums lowered this year. This is despite the fact that a rate hike confirmed last November was due in large part to projected costs for a drug to treat Alzheimer’s disease that have now been lowered.
In November 2021, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announced an approximately 14.5 percent increase to premiums for Medicare Part B, which covers doctor visits and some preventive care and outpatient services. The standard monthly premium rose from $148.50 in 2021 to $170.10 this year.
The hike came largely as a result of uncertainty over whether Medicare would cover the costs of Aduhelm, an exorbitantly expensive drug to treat Alzheimer’s. Under pressure from the pharmaceutical industry, the controversial drug was approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June 2021, despite disputes over whether it is effective in treating the debilitating disease.
Biogen, the maker of Aduhelm, originally priced the drug at $56,000 a year. After a considerable outcry from patient advocates and others, Biogen announced that the drug would cost $28,200 effective January 1, 2022, when the Medicare premium hikes kicked in. In April, Medicare instituted strict rules regarding who could receive Aduhelm, restricting its use mainly to clinical trials.
On May 27, the Biden administration said that despite the halving of Aduhelm’s cost, and also its restriction to a small patient pool, it would not be lowering the monthly premiums deducted from seniors’ Social Security benefits. The administration justified this move on the basis of “legal and operational hurdles.”
In a report to HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, CMS wrote that “a mid-year administrative redetermination [of Medicare premiums] would be prohibitively complex and highly risky, requiring significant resources and unproven technical solutions from the varied entities which manage premium collection and payment.” In practical terms, this means that Medicare enrollees will not be receiving either a refund on the premium increases already collected this year, nor will premiums be adjusted for the balance of 2022.
CMS claims that 2023 premiums will be adjusted to reflect the lowering of the price of Aduhelm and the reduction in the drug’s usage. There is no guarantee, however, that such an adjustment will take place, as other price hikes demanded by the pharmaceutical industry or other segments of the for-profit health care system are highly likely. And the government has seldom rebated money that it has already collected from the population.
CMS also makes the fantastic claim that seniors are unlikely to feel the impact of the premium hike due to a 5.9 percent cost-of-living adjustment in their Social Security benefits that began in January 2022. This small increase has already been more than eaten up by rapidly rising inflation hitting food, housing, transportation and other basic necessities. The impact on seniors is particularly dire, with more than 7 million living in poverty and 7.3 million food-insecure, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF).
The news that 2022 premium hikes will not be refunded or scaled back comes as Biden officials are moving forward with an 8.5 percent increase in payments made to private insurers operating Medicare Advantage plans in 2023.
Under Medicare Advantage, also known as Medicare Part C, beneficiaries pay their monthly premiums to the federal government but receive coverage from a private insurer for inpatient hospital and outpatient services, typically including prescription drug coverage as well. The establishment of these plans marked a major step in the dismantling of Medicare as a government program. Companies operating these plans are incentivized to limit the amount of medical care received by their enrollees in order to boost profits.
Dr. Susan Rogers, president of Physicians for a National Healthcare Program, told The Lever, “Medicare Advantage insurers such as United Healthcare, Anthem, and CVS/Aetna are celebrating record profits in the tens of billions of dollars.” She added, “Their business plan is simple: inflate their Medicare payments by making seniors look sicker than they are, and then pocket more of those Medicare dollars by ruthlessly denying seniors’ care.”
Enrollment in Medicare Advantage—signed into law in 1997 by Bill Clinton—has more than doubled over the past decade. In 2021, more than 26 million people were enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, or about 42 percent of the total Medicare population. Private plans have cost Medicare $146 billion since 2008.
In addition to hiking Medicare premiums and funneling more money to Medicare Advantage insurers, Biden has expanded Medicare privatization. The Direct Contracting Entity (DCE) program was launched in April 2019 by the CMS, during the Trump administration, under the auspices the CMS Innovation Center, known as CMMI.
Similar to Medicare Advantage, the DCE program allows intermediary companies to offer unique benefits, such as gym memberships. DCE operators range from private insurers to publicly traded companies to private equity firms. As for-profit entities they are also incentivized to limit patient care, particularly for the critically ill.
While Medicare patients choose to sign up for Advantage plans, patients can be enrolled in DCE health plans without their informed consent. Remarkably, seniors for instance may be “auto-aligned” to a DCE if any primary care physician they have visited in the past two years is affiliated with that DCE. Seniors are being swindled by these plans via methods more unscrupulous than scammers trying to obtain Social Security numbers over the phone.
Notably, CMMI was created under the Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law in 2010 by Barack Obama. CMMI’s aim was to develop new payment models in Medicare and Medicaid, the government insurance program for the poor, without going through the formal legislative process that requires public comment.
The DCE program is now being expanded by the Biden administration under a new name—ACO REACH, or Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health. Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s office told The Lever that 350,000 seniors were assigned to DCE plans as of January 2022, none of whom signed up voluntarily.
In the US health care system, access to and the affordability of medical care is subordinated to the profits of the private insurers, pharmaceuticals and giant hospital chains. Democratic and Republican politicians alike are concerned with upholding the interests of this market-driven system, not by the needs of patients and health care workers. One need only follow the money to see who benefits.
Business Insider reports that Biden received roughly $47 million from health care industry executives during his 2020 presidential campaign. The leadership of DCE contractor Clover Health donated $500,000 to the main super PAC for Senate Democrats in 2020, while Chamath Palihapitiya, the company’s financier, donated $750,000 to the same super PAC, according to the Open Secrets web site.

Nolte: Dems Freak as Obamacare Premiums Set to Spike By 53%
Democrats are in total control of the federal government and about 13 million Obamacare recipients are about to receive notice of a 53 percent premium price increase.
The only thing that will stop reality from hitting these 13 million is if Congress acts to extend the subsidies, which will cost the American taxpayer $70 billion over three years.
Hey, remember when Obama and his media fact-checkers told us Obamacare would DECREASE the deficit?
U.S. President Barack Obama sits during the presidential inauguration on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol January 21, 2013, in Washington, DC. (Win McNamee/Getty Images)
Good times, good times…
The premium increases would be substantial if Congress does not act, with an average rise of around 53 percent, affecting roughly 13 million people, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Middle class people making more than 400 percent of the federal poverty line would be especially hard hit, given that they would go back to not being eligible for any financial assistance and have to pay the full cost of their premiums.
[…]
“Right before the election, people would get notices of big premium increases, and that will certainly not reflect well on Democrats,” said Larry Levitt, a health policy expert at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
You see, this is what happens when you do business with the government. You are constantly a victim of the whims of an unaccountable bureaucracy and mercenary politicians.
These Obamacare recipients are trapped. They have no place to go. No competition to turn to. And no upstart will come along to try and make everything work better and cheaper. You can’t compete with a rigged system as powerful as the federal government.

Look at the movie Joker. What turned the Joker into Joker was losing his government-subsidized mental health care. His whole life went to shit because the government made him dependent and then pulled the rug out from under him.
Look at all the veterans who died because they could only use the Veteran’s Administration.
It is utterly idiotic to give the government total say over something as vital as healthcare. There’s no competition, which means you are totally reliant on a single entity, which makes you extremely vulnerable and removes all the control and power a free market offers — a free market where you can always do business with the other guy down the road.
So what’s holding up this $70 billion subsidy from being passed? The same old BS. Right now, it’s part of a much bigger package. In other words, it’s attached to an expensive piece of emotional blackmail that has nothing to do with lowering premiums.
The hope is that a clean bill can be proposed and passed, but they are running out of time. August is the deadline, and even then, “waiting to the last minute to extend the subsidies would pose operational difficulties,” for the “Affordable Care Act marketplaces need time to set up their systems before the enrollment period[.]”
Hahahahaha: they’re still calling it the Affordable Care Act.

Buried News: Customs and Border Protection is recruiting single moms as 'asylum seekers' -- in Mexico
The New York Times did an interesting, but biased photo story of how illegal immigrants cross the border to claim asylum in the U.S., one segment of a long chain of events that has seen the transport of more than a million so-called "asylum seekers" into the U.S. in the Joe Biden era.
The story begins with this tease, and then moves on to various unverified sob stories of individual migrants.
Lots of unanswered questions in that story, of course, but more about that later.
The big news was buried in the seventh paragraph, below a long string of sympathetic photographs of the would-be illegal border crossers:
Did we read that right? Someone at Customs and
Border Protection is actually recruiting illegal
migrants from a foreign country to come into the
states to seek "asylum"?
Humanitarian exceptions? What if these people are bringing in COVID -- or tuberculosis, monkey pox, malaria, leishmanosis, or any of a host of diseases migrants are known to carry from their countries of orgin, if not pick up while willingly placing themselves in the hands of human smugglers, who have zero concerns for migrant health? The story does say that the migrants are tested for COVID when they are brought in, but it does not say that the migrants who test positive for COVID are sent back. Previous reporting notes that COVID-positive migrants are admitted into the U.S, and taken to some kind of "isolation," but we already know what that means -- migrants in taxpayer-paid hotels hosted by NGOs who ignore isolation rules just as they ignore U.S. immigration law and spread COVID into the communities with no concern for the local people in U.S. border towns, who aren't told about it. There was this case here.
The problem here is that very few of these people qualify for asylum to start with. Some 90% of asylum cases are rejected, while most so-called asylum seekers never bother to show up in court for them anyway, knowing full well what the outcome may be. As the story notes in the case of one supposed asylum seeker -- the plan for coming to the states was to obtain "a better life." That's a textbook economic migrant, not a person who endured state persecution and defied their government for some worthy reason as would be the case of a meritorious asylum case.
The recruiting not only is unseemly in itself, it also goes against Title 42 restrictions, which nominally keeps even the sobbiest of the sob stories among migrants out of the country based on public health concerns around COVID.
It apparently keeps some migrants out but not most, and certainly not single moms, who are being actively sought out by Homeland Security/CBP officials and actively invited into the states from the foreign country of Mexico. That baby formula taken from American store shelves is there for a reason.
Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration
Studies has a superb report on how the Biden
administration is skirting around its court order to
maintain Title 42 restrictions and effectively defying the judge and thumbing its
nose at the law to bring thousands of illegal
migrants into the country.
Now we have the recruiting.
One last detail: I notice that the Times didn't say "Border Patrol" so it may well be a bureaucratic higher-up in that organization at Customs and Borde Protection, someone with political ties to the agency's parent, the Department of Homeland Security's Alejandro Mayorkas. It does appear that this recruiting is a political decision from the top.
Who are these people? Well, based on the description, they are unwed mothers, and natural members of both their own countries' and the U.S.'s permanent underclass. They are poor, uneducated, and many are the least equipped to contribute anything of value to the U.S. economy. They are coming here to collect state benefits or take low wage jobs, shutting those opportunities from other Americans as economic migrants at best and welfare collectors with zero social capital at worst. Their entry to the states on "humanitarian grounds" is effectively importing poverty and Democrat voters into the U.S., replenishing the generational underclass and expanding vast government bureaucracies to "service" them, as well as provide Democrats with additional congressional seats. A million illegal migrants equals three additional congressional seats if they all go the same place, or else padding for Democrat seats if they spread around to one-party blue cities, given how congressional seats are allocated, by numbers alone, not lawful presence.
Foreign aid could take care of these people just fine, but what we are seeing now is more value to Democrats in their unlawful presence in the states.
In the various sob stories, we got to see pictures of migrants with big plans to enter the states illegally as a matter of entitlement, and lots of designer clothes on them, but saw few serious questions asked by the ace photojournalists of the story. We learn a migrant has paid a human smuggler more than a thousand dollars for the illegal crossing into the states. Anyone at the Times ask that migrant just how he got the spare thousand for the payoff? Or how he even met the smugglers? Another woman brought her teenage daughter to the states because she said was raped in her home country and has not been the same since. No verification there, of course -- anyone ask her if she were coached by migrant advocacy groups on what to say? Anyone tell her that crime is not grounds for asylum according to U.S. law, but how it was someone was telling her otherwise? Anyone ask her why she believed there would be no such crimes of that kind in the states, particularly if she moved to a gang-infested Central American migrant neighborhood and had plans to travel back and forth to her home country once ensconced in the states? Asylum seekers normally seek to get away from the source of their problems.
It's frustrating stuff to see these kinds of migrants coming to the states illegally and easily getting away with it. What's really tough is seeing how the Bidenites are recruiting such migrants. The Biden administration is obviously a lawless one in how it applies immigration law. Turns out it's actually recruiting.

Illegal Alien Charged with Sexually Abusing 14-Year-Old Disabled Child
An illegal alien allegedly sexually abused a child with disabilities in Frederick County, Maryland, according to local police.
Ricardo Cruz Mendoza, a 37-year-old illegal alien, was arrested in April and has since been charged with four counts of sexual abuse of a minor and one count of third-degree sexual offense.
According to the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office, Mendoza sexually abused a 14-year-old minor with disabilities. The sheriff’s office is one of many that work directly with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) via the 287(g) program to swiftly alert the agency when illegal aliens are arrested and charged with crimes.
“This is yet another example of the value of the 287g program to public safety in Frederick County,” Sheriff Chuck Jenkins said of the arrest.
Under President Joe Biden, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has sought to wind down the 287(g) program with local law enforcement. In May 2021, for instance, Mayorkas claimed the program has “pernicious practices,” though he did not cite examples.
Most recently, Breitbart News reported that Democrat sheriffs who ended their community’s 287(g) agreements with ICE have caused a decrease in the number of criminal illegal aliens who are turned over to the agency.

These comments came as part of a release of the April Southwest Land Border Encounters report that showed the apprehension of 201,800 migrants by Border Patrol agents, Breitbart Texas reported.
Official reports from CBP reveal that Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 422,000 migrants in March and April — directly contradicting the commissioner’s assessment of the border not being open. This month’s estimate of more than 200,000 brings that total to approximately 625,000 during the last three months.

Biden’s Border Crisis Puts Country on Pace for Largest Foreign-Born Population in US History
Illegal immigrants account for two-thirds of growth in foreign-born population, study shows
SHARE
The foreign-born population of the United States has reached its highest level in more than a century under President Joe Biden, a surge driven by the record number of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border.
The country's foreign-born population reached 47 million by the end of April, compared to 44.7 million when Biden was elected in November 2020, according to data compiled in a new paper from the Center for Immigration Studies, meaning the immigrant population has grown at a rate of 132,000 per month. Two-thirds of that growth, the paper's authors estimate, can be attributed to illegal immigration.
The paper sheds light on the rapid demographic changes taking place under the Biden administration that are largely a consequence of a border crisis with little end in sight. The rate of growth of the foreign-born population on Biden's watch is shattering levels during previous administrations—in former president Barack Obama’s first term, the foreign-born population grew at a rate of 59,000 per month, and 76,000 per month in his second term. That rate shrunk under former president Donald Trump, when the foreign-born population grew by an average of 42,000 a month before the COVID-19 pandemic, which shut down migration into the United States.
Over the last 22 years, the foreign-born population has jumped by 51 percent and now makes up a total of 14.3 percent of the U.S. population. In 1970, the foreign-born population made up just 4.7 percent of the country, a third of what it is today.
Under Biden, the foreign-born population has grown at twice the rate of the native born population. Such a large discrepancy in growth rates between the two populations has not been observed in the United States since 1910, when the foreign-born population approached 14.7 percent before dramatically dropping for the next 50 years. The paper's authors attribute the historic growth to a number of factors relating to the current administration's weak immigration posture.
"The administration’s suspension of nearly all interior deportations and the resulting dramatic decline in immigration enforcement, including deportations, plus its refusal to automatically take custody of non-citizens released from jails and prisons have all likely made illegal immigrants feel safer, reducing emigration of those already here and encouraging new illegal immigration," the authors write.
According to the Census Bureau, the U.S. population will reach an all-time high of 14.9 percent foreign-born by 2028. The authors of the study believe that projection is conservative and fails to take into account the spike during the Biden administration—the paper projects the foreign-born share of the U.S. population will hit 14.9 percent by next September. By the conclusion of Biden’s first term, the authors write, the total number of immigrants in the United States will reach 51.3 million.
"It seems clear that something has fundamentally changed and the illegal immigration population has grown dramatically after being relatively stable for a number of years," the authors write.
Biden has presided over the worst border crisis in recorded American history. Border officials encountered 234,000 migrants on the southern border in April alone, the most ever on record.
Of those 234,000 migrants, nearly 118,000 were released into the U.S. interior. Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said last month that he expects future migrant encounters to be even higher should the administration be successful in ending Title 42, a public health measure that allows for the rapid deportation of anyone seeking entry into the United States.
More than 1.3 million migrants have been encountered on the southern border in the 2022 fiscal year so far, and a vast majority of them did not face immediate deportation. The 2021 fiscal year saw 1.7 million migrant encounters, the highest in more than 60 years.
The immigration crisis is one of Biden's largest electoral liabilities. Polling consistently shows a majority of voters disapprove of his handling of the border, including a Harvard-Harris survey released last month that found immigration was the third most concerning issue to voters.
Migrant enclaves already are at the top of the U.S. lists for bad places to live - 10 of the 50 worst places in America to live according to this list are in California, and all of them are famous for their illegal populations. MONICA SHOWALTER

Revealed: How the U.S. Government Pays to Bus In Thousands of Migrants over the Southern Border Daily
U.S. border officials are quietly bussing a vast flood of wage-cutting, rent-spiking migrants into Americans’ towns and cities, despite the court-ordered preservation of the Title 42 barrier.
“It’s like 8,000 to 9,000 a day now,” and there are more on the way, migration monitor Todd Bensman told Breitbart News.
U.S. border chief Alejandro Mayorkas and his pro-migration deputies are using the Title 42 barrier to send some Central American single men and families back to Mexico. But Mayorkas is cutting loopholes in the barrier to place everyone else on government-funded buses to cities and towns around the United States, said Bensman, who works for the Center for Immigration Studies.
The Mexican government is releasing more migrants from staging areas in southern Mexico:
NPR.org reported:
The U.S. shelter network is a northern mirror of the cartels’ southern network of camps, bus stations, and housing created to transport migrants up through Mexico to the U.S. border.
By subscribing, you agree to our terms of use & privacy policy. You will receive email marketing messages from Breitbart News Network to the email you provide. You may unsubscribe at any time.
The northern-side network has been created by a variety of U.S. nonprofits that are funded by donations from pro-migration business elites, progressive charities, and government contracts. They form a nationwide catch-and-release network that helps the U.S. government and cartels smuggle the indebted migrants into Americans’ jobs without exposure from national TV broadcasters.
The New York Times reported on May 24:
Biden’s federal government is pushing the elite-backed nonprofits to expand the migrant pipeline:
“I was in Del Rio [Texas] watching them be put on buses being dropped off [at shelters], processed and then put on charter buses for 15 different American states,” Bensman said.
Donor-funded GOP legislators have quietly voted to fund the quasi-legal migrant delivery, even as they loudly denounce illegal migration.
The elite disregard for citizens’ preferences is spiking public opposition to both legal and illegal migration. Sixty-two percent believe Biden’s immigration policy is taking the nation on the wrong track, according to a May 21-24 poll of 1,500 adult citizens.
But the migrants recognize the welcome offered by Mayorkas, said, Bensman:
But, he added, “you can earn more if you work and get welfare.”
The elite-delivered flood of migrant workers aids employers, investors, and wealthy professionals. But it imposes much damage on many millions of working-class Americans, who are forced to accept lower wages, higher rents, crowded schools, and lower political status in their own homeland.
That wage loss has been lauded by business interests, such as Goldman Sachs, and is acknowledged by many business groups and even by Biden’s White House advisors. The flood of cheap labor is expected to reinflate the post-1990 Cheap Labor Bubble that has suppressed wages for tens of millions of ordinary Americans. The Wall Street-boosting bubble was deflated by President Donald Trump’s low-migration/high-wage policies in 2020 and 2021.
Migration advocates also celebrate the displacement of Americans in their own country. “The phenomenon of [population] replacement, writ large, is America, and has been from the beginning, sometimes by force, mostly by choice,” said a May 17 op-ed in the New York Times. “What the far right calls “replacement” is better described as renewal.”
Progressives claim that the migrants will offset the economic damage to ordinary Americans by buying food and services from Americans — despite the evidence of minimal wage growth since 1990. ‘The average effect, at all skill levels, is nothing in the short term,” said Michael Clemens, a migration expert at the Center for Global Development.
Clemens also dismissed the overwhelming evidence that cheap migrants reduce the corporate technology investment that helps ordinary Americans to earn more money in less time:
Progressives also ignore the growing damage to Americans caused by migrants’ need for housing and the migrants’ rational willingness to pay higher rents to live closer to urban jobs.
Mayorkjas’ high-migration/low-wage policy is described in his February strategy, which was leaked to Breitbart Texas on April 4. The February strategy is titled “DHS Southwest Border Mass Irregular Migration Contingency Plan,” and it says on page 16:
A summary of the Mayorkas plan was released on March 30 by Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security (DHS):
Mayorkas is a business-backed, pro-migration zealot. He is using small loopholes in border law to admit a huge number of migrants, according to Bensman. For example, Mayorkas is allowed to parole people into the United States for personal emergencies, such as a medical emergency. “It’s the most incredible thing,” Bensman said, adding:
Extraction Migration
Since at least 1990, the D.C. establishment has extracted tens of millions of migrants and visa workers from poor countries to serve as legal or illegal workers, temporary workers, consumers, and renters for various U.S. investors and CEOs.
This economic strategy of Extraction Migration has no stopping point. It is brutal to ordinary Americans because it cuts their career opportunities, shrinks their salaries and wages, raises their housing costs, and has shoved at least ten million American men out of the labor force.
Extraction migration also distorts the economy and curbs Americans’ productivity, partly because it allows employers to use stoop labor instead of machines. Migration also reduces voters’ political clout, undermines employees’ workplace rights, and widens the regional wealth gaps between the Democrats’ big coastal states and the Republicans’ heartland and southern states.
An economy built on extraction migration also alienates young people and radicalizes Americans’ democratic, equality-promoting civic culture because it allows wealthy elites to ignore despairing Americans at the bottom of society.
The policy is hidden behind a wide variety of noble-sounding excuses and explanations. For example, progressives claim that the U.S. is a “Nation of Immigrants,” that Americans have a duty to accept foreign refugees, and that the state must renew itself by replacing populations. But the colonialism-like economic strategy also kills many migrants, exploits poor people, and splits foreign families as it extracts human-resources wealth from the poor home countries.
The economic policy is backed by progressives who wish to transform the U.S. from a society governed by European-origin civic culture into a progressive-directed empire of competitive, resentful identity groups. “We’re trying to become the first multiracial, multi-ethnic superpower in the world,” Rep. Rohit Khanna (D-CA) told the New York Times on March 21. “It will be an extraordinary achievement … we will ultimately triumph,” he boasted.
