THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS FOR TECH BILLIONAIRES FOR OPEN BORDERS AND NO LEGAL NEED APPLY!!!
So Democrats in Congress helped Democrats in the White House smuggle roughly 2.2 million southern migrants over the southern border, and also to supercharge the transfer of legal migrants and visa workers into U.S. jobs. “The issue of immigration is how do we make sure that companies and businesses have the opportunity to employ people,” labor secretary Marty Walsh said in December.

‘Flat Out Violation’: Democrats Broke Federal Law With Payments to Illegal Immigrant, Experts Say
The DSCC paid $500k to Antonio Valdovinos, a proud DACA recipient.
Chuck Ross • January 5, 2023 3:00 pmDemocrats paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a consulting firm operated by an illegal alien, which experts say may have violated campaign finance laws.
Antonio Valdovinos, the owner of the Arizona-based La Machine Consulting, has made his status as a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient central to his personal narrative. He boasts of his "undocumented" status on his firm’s website and produced an off-Broadway musical,"¡Americano!," about life as a "Dreamer." Valdovinos’s immigration status could cause a problem for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which paid his firm, La Machine Consulting, $500,000 to canvas in three battleground states ahead of the 2022 midterm election.
The Federal Election Commission classifies DACA recipients as foreign nationals for the purposes of campaign finance laws, and says that foreign nationals cannot "directly or indirectly" participate in the "decision-making process" of any campaign or political committees’ election-related activities. One veteran campaign finance lawyer tells the Washington Free Beacon the DSCC’s contributions could have violated these laws.
"If the DSCC knowingly engaged a non-citizen/resident in a capacity that they are prohibited from participating in for federal election law purposes, then they ought to be held accountable," said Dan Backer, a campaign finance attorney who represented the plaintiffs in the landmark Supreme Court case, McCutcheon v. FEC.
The FEC has already flagged Valdovinos as a possible offender of the campaign finance statutes. In 2021, the commission exercised prosecutorial discretion to dismiss charges against Valdovinos for campaign finance violations but said his firm’s consulting work "raises the prospect that the company could provide the type of services that the commission has previously found resulted in prohibited foreign national contributions."
"It’s a flat out violation of federal law, everyone knows it, but the exercise of prosecutorial discretion—even without any rationale for it—is almost completely un-reviewable by courts," Backer told the Free Beacon of the DSCC payments to Valdovinos’s firm.
Valdovinos has worked for other federal candidates, though his DSCC contract is by far the largest. Rep. Ruben Gallego (D., Ariz.) paid La Machine $94,000 for petition signature gathering services last year, financial disclosures show.
La Machine Consulting paid vote canvassers in Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia, according to the firm’s social media pages. Democrats won all three of the hotly contested campaigns. Sen. Mark Kelly (D., Ariz.), who defeated Republican Blake Masters, received support from other left-wing, pro-amnesty groups. Living for Change United in Arizona paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire vote canvassers on behalf of Kelly in the weeks before the election, the Free Beacon reported. The organization supported the movement to defund police and has called for the abolition of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The FEC last year fined the Bernie Sanders campaign $15,000 for violating the ban on foreign national contributions for employing three DACA recipients. The Free Beacon reported in 2019 that the three illegal aliens served on the Sanders campaign’s Latino outreach efforts.
The DSCC and Valdovinos did not respond to requests for comment.
AMERICA IS HARDLY A 'SANCTUARY' FOR MIDDLE AMERICA!
This elite-created migration also helped to spike inflation — especially for housing. The result is that migration-spiked inflation outpaced wage growth, and median wages fell by 1.4 percent for 150 million Americans in President Joe Biden’s cheap-labor economy. NEIL MUNRO
Exclusive: Texas Sues Biden Administration over Rule Making Americans Pay Immigration Welfare Costs
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over its rule change allowing immigrants into the country who will be dependent on welfare, according to documents obtained by Breitbart News.
Federal immigration law has required a “public-charge” determination for immigrants, which bars them from staying in the country if they are likely to use welfare programs like food stamps, Medicaid, or government housing aid.
“The Biden Administration has demonstrated its intent not to enforce the law and to open the borders to illegal aliens who will be dependent upon welfare benefits,” a press release from Paxton’s office obtained by Breitbart News says.
Normally, immigrants provide financial proof that they would not sap taxpayer funds. The Biden administration’s rule “prevents consideration of statutorily required factors when determining whether an alien is likely to become a ‘public charge.'”
“The Biden Administration is committed to opening the borders to aliens who lack the ability to take care of themselves. Texans should not have to pay for these costly immigrants, nor should any other American,” Paxton said. “I will continue to defend the rule of law and fight to ensure that the massive costs of illegal immigration don’t further burden taxpayers.”
As Breitbart News reported, studies show taxpayers are being billed about $1,600 a year per immigrant and that immigrants use 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizens. Similarly, “About 63 percent of noncitizen households use at least one form of public welfare, while only about 35 percent of native-born American households are on welfare.”
Despite that, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s Department of Homeland Security pushed its “Fair and Humane Public Charge Rule,” which the lawsuit alleges is the Biden administration seeking to “further open its borders.”
The new rule limits “public-charge” considerations to cash benefits, without regard for “in-kind” government benefits such as retirement, welfare, health, disability, food, assisted housing, post-secondary education, and many others. Such non-cash benefits were included in 2019 expansion of the rule by former President Donald Trump.
It also “de-fangs the statutory requirement ‘rendering most family-sponsored applicants automatically inadmissible on public charge grounds unless they obtained an enforceable affidavit of support from a sponsor’ by prohibiting a meaningful evaluation of whether the affidavit is true and correct,” according to the lawsuit.
Ultimately, the new rule is “seemingly intended and designed to ensure—and will ensure—that virtually no alien is ever found to be a public charge.”
The 1996 Welfare Reform Act, which reaffirmed the “public-charge” rule, stated, “Self-sufficiency has been a basic principle of United States immigration law since this country’s earliest immigration statutes.”
It required that “aliens within the Nation’s border not depend on public resources to meet their needs” so that the “availability of public benefits not constitute an incentive for immigration to the United States.”
Paxton has also petitioned the Supreme Court, asking to be allowed to defend the Trump-era “public-charge” rule in federal court due to the Biden administration’s refusal.

Blue States California and New York Experience ‘Six-Figure’ Population Decrease
Both California and New York experienced a “six-figure” population decrease since 2020, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Despite the U.S. resident population increasing by 0.4 percent, or 1,256,003, over the last year, the late December data found that blue states have suffered.
Indeed, both California and New York are considered to be in the top five most populous states overall, yet both experienced six-figure losses since 2020.
On April 1, 2020, New York had a population of 20,201,230. That decreased to 19,857,492 as of July 1, 2021, and it fell even further to 19,677,151 in July 2022.
Similarly, California experienced a significant loss as well, with a population of 39,538,245 on April 1, 2020. That decreased to 39,142,991 as of July 1, 2021, only to fall even further — to 39,029,342 — one year later.
Eighteen states overall saw a population decrease last year, with blue states standing as the biggest losers numerically, according to the report:
Eighteen states experienced a population decline in 2022, compared to 15 and DC the prior year. California, with a population of 39,029,342, and Illinois, with a population of 12,582,032, also had six-figure decreases in resident population. Both states’ declining populations were largely due to net domestic outmigration, totaling 343,230 and 141,656, respectively.
New York also saw the biggest decline in terms of percentage — 0.9 percent. California experienced a decrease of 0.3 percent.
Texas and Florida stand as the two states that saw the largest increase in terms of numerical growth, both well into the six-figure range.
Per the report:
Increasing by 470,708 people since July 2021, Texas was the largest-gaining state in the nation, reaching a total population of 30,029,572. By crossing the 30-million-population threshold this past year, Texas joins California as the only states with a resident population above 30 million. Growth in Texas last year was fueled by gains from all three components: net domestic migration (230,961), net international migration (118,614), and natural increase (118,159).
…
It [Florida] was also the second largest-gaining state behind Texas, with an increase of 416,754 residents. Net migration was the largest contributing component of change to Florida’s growth, adding 444,484 residents. New York had the largest annual numeric and percent population decline, decreasing by 180,341 (-0.9%). Net domestic migration (-299,557) was the largest contributing component to the state’s population decline.
California’s loss is of particular note, as Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom has sharply criticized red state governors while encouraging residents of those states to flock to California, even doing so in his Fourth of July message last year, to no avail:
Newsom also spent his year criticizing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), specifically, attempting to convince the public that they are frauds:
DeSantis won his reelection in Florida by roughly 1.5 million votes, and Abbott won his as well, besting Democrat Beto O’Rourke by over 887,000 votes.
Colorado Man Gets 40 Years Behind Bars After 5,800 Fentanyl Pills Seized: ‘He Made a Profit Off Destroying Lives’
A 27-year-old man in Greeley, Colorado, will spend a long time in prison after dealing fentanyl, a drug that continues taking American lives.
Andrew Durdy was sentenced to 40 years behind bars at the Colorado Department of Corrections, the District Attorney of Weld County said in a press release Friday.
“In October, the defendant pled guilty to one count of Conspiracy to Possession with the Intent to Distribute Fentanyl (DF1), and one count of Possession with the Intent to Distribute Fentanyl (DF2),” the release said.
The drug known as fentanyl is described as a synthetic opioid that is much stronger than morphine, according to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA):
At the sentencing hearing, Chief Deputy District Attorney Michael Pirraglia said, “Any one of those pills could have killed someone. Bottom line, he made a profit off destroying other people’s lives, and we won’t tolerate this type of behavior in our community.”
During a recent interview with CBS News, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said fentanyl deaths are a national security crisis. She also voiced concern there will be more of the drug crossing the border if Title 42 is lifted.
Monaco said, “I think it’s a national security issue. I think it’s a public safety issue. I think it’s a public health issue.”
Meanwhile, American life expectancy dropped to a 25-year low in 2021 as more than 100,000 citizens died from drug overdose deaths, per data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Breitbart News reported December 22.
Biden’s Sanctuary Country: Fewer than 30K Illegal Aliens Deported from American Communities in 2022
Fewer than 30,000 illegal aliens, including just about 23,000 convicted criminals, were deported from American communities in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022, new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) figures reveal.
President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the annual ICE report during the holiday weekend, showing significant cuts to interior immigration enforcement compared to prior years, such as 2017, 2018, and 2019.
In particular, ICE agents deported roughly 28,000 illegal aliens from the United States interior — less than 0.3 percent of the 11 to 22 million illegal aliens who are estimated to be living in American communities.
Put another way, ICE agents are deporting only 2,350 illegal aliens each month from the United States interior, whereas they once deported nearly 8,000 illegal aliens each month.
Of those deported from the United States interior, slightly more than 23,000 were convicted criminals. This figure indicates that ICE is deporting 68 percent fewer convicted criminal illegal aliens than the agency deported in FY 2018, when nearly 73,000 were deported.
Overall, Biden’s DHS has reduced deportations of illegal aliens living in American communities by more than 70 percent compared to FY 2018 when more than 95,300 illegal aliens were deported from the United States interior.
In its report, ICE couples deportations from the U.S. interior with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) removals of illegal aliens who recently arrived at the nation’s borders.
Together, about 72,100 illegal aliens were deported from the United States in FY 2022, but, as noted, only about 28,000 of those deportations were illegal aliens living in American communities, while the other nearly 44,000 were those who had recently arrived at United States borders.
FY 2022 marks Biden’s second year in which ICE’s interior immigration enforcement operations have been gutted to ensure that most of the nation’s illegal alien population is not eligible for arrest or deportation.
Research has shown that deportations are extremely cost-efficient for Americans, as deporting every illegal alien in the United States costs about six times less than what taxpayers are forced to pay to subsidize the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens.
