JOE BIDEN'S ORCHESTRATED INVASION OF 'CHEAP' LABOR IN COLLUSION WITH THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS
Excerpt: The puppet strings for the important control of illegal immigration all lead into the White House and, to a limited extent, Congress. Short of any appreciable congressional action, the White House becomes the default location where a mass migration is started and stopped.
Excerpt: I recommend that Congress seriously consider two statutory changes to fulfill the failed promise of employer sanctions to turn off the jobs magnet for illegal immigration. The first would be to provide temporary legal status (and potentially lawful permanent residence) to illegal aliens who can provide critical information that can lead to the successful prosecution of their employers for employer sanctions violations. The second would be to provide the victims of employers who knowingly employ illegal aliens (such as American workers who are fired or not hired as a result of such unlawful employment) a private right of action to sue the employers for damages.
Washington, D.C. (November 28, 2022) – A new Center for Immigration Studies report analyzes a recent memo arguing that the federal law which prohibits the hiring of illegal aliens does not apply to state governments. The memo, by a group of self-identified “immigration and constitutional law scholars”, claims that the state of California could and should give California state universities the go-ahead to hire and employ their illegal alien students, based on “the urgent need to expand employment opportunities for undocumented students”. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) prohibits the knowing hiring of illegal aliens. The memo contends that since IRCA does not spell out that it applies specifically to the states, Congress cannot intrude on the states’ historic “police power” to regulate employment within their boundaries. George Fishman, a senior legal fellow at the Center and author of the report, argues that the scholars’ memo is most likely wrong. He said, “If California moves forward with this proposal, I would predict that IRCA will be found to encompass state entities within its employer sanctions regime. But hopefully, good sense will prevail, and the proposal to allow California public universities to hire illegal aliens will never advance beyond advocacy pieces. Authorizing the state to employ aliens not authorized to work under federal law trivializes immigration laws and encourages future illegal immigration.”
Most recently, for instance, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched a mobile app where foreign nationals living in Mexico can schedule appointments to get released into the U.S. interior at the southern border.
Illegal Immigration Costs Average Taxpayer $957 Annually, New Study Finds
Illegal immigration costs each American taxpayer $1,156 per year ($957 after factoring in taxes paid by illegal aliens), a new analysis by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) finds.
The annual gross cost (state and federal) of illegal immigration is now $183 billion, up more than thirty-five percent since 2017, according to the FAIR report released this week:
“In total, the gross cost of illegal immigration now total $183 billion, up more than 35.7 percent since 2017. The cost incurred per illegal alien (including their U.S.-born children) has increased as well, now totaling $8,776 annually.”
Even after the tax contributions of illegal aliens is deducted, the average American taxpayer is on the hook for nearly a thousand dollars, the study shows:
“When the taxes paid by illegal aliens are factored in, the net cost of illegal immigration to U.S. taxpayers is now $150.7 billion. This means that each American taxpayer shells out a net average of $956 (or $1,156 before the taxes paid by illegal aliens are factored in) due to illegal immigration.”
…
“Taxes paid by illegal immigrants only covered around 17.2 percent of the costs they created for American citizens.”
The report provides the following breakdown of annual federal, state and local government expenditures:
Total Federal Expenditures $66,449,136,000
Total State and Local Expenditures $115,608,729,000
Total National Expenditures $182,057,865,000
Total Net Tax Contributions $31,391,635,00
Total Fiscal Cost of Illegal Immigration on U.S. Taxpayers: $150,666,230,000
“Most of the additional costs have been added in the past two years, as the Biden administration’s de facto open borders policies have triggered a historic surge of new illegal migrants pouring across our borders,” the study concludes.
But, it’s not just the Biden Administration that’s to blame, since new state and local policies have also encouraged the influx of illegal aliens, FARI President Dan Stein said in a press release introducing the study:
“Not only is the Biden administration refusing to rein-in illegal immigration or remove the people who are breaking our laws, they are promulgating policies that actually encourage more of it while offering new protections and benefits to those who settle here illegally.
“Likewise, a growing number of states and localities create their own costly magnets for illegal aliens by declaring themselves sanctuaries and offering new benefits and services.”
FAIR’s analysis breaks down the cost of illegal immigration by type of government expenditure: medical, education, law enforcement and welfare.
JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, a Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes. In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze.

Will AMLO tell Mexicans to stay home and not vote in 2024?
Last week, President Andres Lopez-Obrador was a bit irate, or "molesto" as they say in Mexico. He reacted to Senator Lindsey Graham's call to name the cartels as terrorist organizations. AMLO threatened to tell Mexican Americans to punish the GOP for saying stuff like that. How dare you, gringo?
Well, let's hear what AMLO is saying this week because a Democrat is now calling out his "hugs rather than bullets" approach to national security. This is from Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey via Pulse News Mexico:
Menendez’s criticism comes on the heels of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham presenting an initiative to add Mexican drug cartels on the list of foreign terrorist organizations, and Republican lawmakers Dan Crenshaw and Michael Waltz proposing a bill to give U.S. President Joe Biden the authority to use the U.S. Army against Mexican drug cartels.
López Obrador called these proposals “propaganda” and “aggression by the Republicans against Mexico.” However, Menéndez adding his voice to the growing international clamor for Mexico to take security, drug trafficking and democracy seriously makes it complicated for AMLO to pin the blame on mere “Republican aggression.”
“Mexico has a responsibility, first and foremost, to its own citizens to establish safety and security within its own territory -- and to those who visit its own country as well,” Menéndez said on Sunday, in an interview with American news-based television channel MSNBC.
“And so we need to up dramatically with Mexico. It can’t be all about economics, it has to be about safety and security as well. And I am afraid that we are headed in the wrong direction in Mexico on that, and on democracy questions as well. So this is a present danger that we have to deal with, and we have to engage the Mexicans in a way that says, ‘You’ve got to do a lot more in your security.’ We can help them -- we have intelligence, we have other information we can share. But we need them to enforce security in their own country.”
Okay -- so Mexico is headed in the wrong direction? To be fair, Senator Menendez does not want to name the cartels as terrorist organizations. He did not specify how Mexico can do more for their security. I thought that we were already sending them weapons and more under the Merida Plan from 2007. Maybe we need to upgrade the weapons or try something else.
Senator Menendez' statement puts AMLO in a tough place. He is getting criticism from both sides of the Senate chamber. Is he going to call on Mexicans up here to stay home and not vote for either party? The only difference between Senator Graham and Senator Menendez is that the former wants to name the cartels as a terrorist organization. Both are raising doubts about Mexico's ability to defend itself and being critical of AMLO's approach.
Last November, Crenshaw introduced the Declaring War on the Cartels Act, featuring increased criminal penalties for criminal cartels’ activities and the targeting of their finances, with provision for seized assets to be directed to Customs and Border Protection, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, and the DEA.
Border Patrol Chief: 1.5 Million ‘Gotaway’ Migrants During Biden’s Term
About 1.5 million migrants have sneaked across the border as President Joe Biden opened the doors to a rush of southern migrants, according to testimony from Raul L. Ortiz, Chief of U.S. Border Patrol.
The new estimate includes the 1.3 million successful “gotaways” who were spotted by the border patrol’s agents and surveillance systems, plus roughly 200,000 additional untracked migrants, he told a hearing in Texas organized by the House’s Homeland Security Committee.
Ortiz’s number, plus agency data, shows that Biden’s Cuban-born, pro-migration border chief — Alejandro Mayorkas — has allowed roughly 4.2 million economic migrants into the United States since January 2021.
That inflow delivered more than one migrant for every one of the 3.7 million U.S. births in 2022 — and it helped spike the inflation that has crippled several major banks.
Rep. Carlos Giminez (R-FL) asked Ortiz: “Supposing that we have 1.3 million [spotted] gotaways that we know of, what is your estimate of the people — that we don’t know about — that got away?”
🚨#BREAKING I just asked Border Patrol Chief Raúl Ortiz about the ‘gotaways’.
At today’s Homeland Security Committee hearing, Chief Ortiz testified that there an additional 20% of illegal alien ‘gotaways’ completely unaccounted for.
I will tell you that the gotaway number is a number that for a long time was associated with [field inspections] … it was our agents out there actually cutting swaths of country and using, you know, footprints as an indicator as to what we were seeing out there. That was our situational awareness.
With the investments that this Congress has made into the Border Patrol CBP as a whole [such as balloon-mounted cameras], we have greater situational awareness now than I’ve ever had. My confidence level in that gotaway numbers continues to increase. Is it 100 percent [confidence]? No, sir.
[We have] 385,000 gotaways so far this fiscal year [Since October 1]. We continue to refine that number. I’ve got to do a better job of accounting for the actual encounters …
In my estimation based upon the situational awareness that I have, probably between 10 percent and 20 percent [more untracked gotaways].
The number of gotaways has been increasing, according to data provided by the Republican National Committee:
Gotaways Under Biden, Republican National Committee
Ortiz’s estimate of 1.5 million gotaways is in addition to the 2.7 million migrants allowed through the border since January 2021.
That inflow adds up to 4.2 million, or more than one migrant for every one of the 3.7 million U.S. births in 2022.
In addition, Biden has imported at least 70,000 migrants via his “parole pathways” since january. The inflow is slated to reach 600,000 a year — in addition to the roughly one million legal immigration cap set by Congress in 1990.
However, Biden’s “parole pathways” has already been ruled illegal by a judge.
The southern flood is in addition to the annual inflow of roughly one million legal migrants and roughly 750,000 short-term and long-term temporary workers. Those two pipelines delivered at least 2.5 million new migrants into the United States, on top of the 3.5 million southern migrants.
The resulting tsunami of roughly six million migrants in 2021 and 2022 created a so-called “demand shock” that inflated the costs of housing, used autos, and groceries for hundreds of millions of Americans.
The Biden migration added at least four million workers to the nation’s workforce. That flood was urged and welcomed by business groups because it cuts Americans’ blue-collar wages and white-collar salaries, and it also reduces marketplace pressure to invest in productivity-boosting technology, heartland states, and overseas markets.
The Mexico-based cartels “are making billions — billions — bringing people into the United States, many of whom … have to pay the cartels back with forced criminal labor,” said Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), who scheduled the informative hearing.
That pocketbook damage to ordinary voters is ignored by progressives and establishment Republicans who tout the migrants as “newcomers” in a “Nation of Immigrants.”
Wages for Lower-Paid Workers, Bureau of Labor Statistics
Business groups are demanding more immigration, despite accelerating layoffs in the technology sector.
Illegal “immigrants here today getting work permits would reduce inflation–on top of being the moral step,” said a tweet by Todd Schulte, the president of the FWD.us advocacy group for West Coast investors.
The migrant inflow has successfullyforced down Americans’ wages and alsoboosted rentsandhousing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and contributed to therising death rateof poor Americans.
The lethal policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.
The population inflow alsoreduces the politicalcloutof native-born Americans, because it allows elites to divorce themselves fromthe needsandinterestsof ordinary Americans.
A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according toan August 2022 pollcommissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR). The 54 percent “Invasion” majority included 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats.
National Sheriffs Association Calls on Congress to Use All 'Means Necessary' to Destroy Drug Cartels

(CNSNews.com) -- The National Sheriffs Association (NSA), which represents more than 3,000 elected sheriffs nationwide, called on Congress this week to use every tool it can to "degrade, undermine and eliminate the most powerful drug cartels in Mexico."
“The nation’s sheriffs strongly support the American people’s continued demand that our federal government use whatever means appropriate to combat these deadly cartels,” said Sheriff Jim Skinner, chairman of the National Sheriffs’ Association Government Affairs Committee, in a statement.
“Without clear, determined and strong action against the Mexican cartels and their partners, we are witnessing the destruction of our families and communities," he added. "We must use the means necessary to undermine the cartels now.”

The NSA said the biggest problem is the smuggling of dangerous drugs into the U.S. by a number of Mexican cartels, especially the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
Along with the narcotics comes corruption, human smuggling, violence and murder. The drugs themselves, particularly the synthetic opioid fentanyl, are responsible for more than 107,000 overdose deaths between August 2021 and August 2022, according to the CDC.
"The Alliance is focused on the death and destruction caused by the cartels’ organized manufacturing and smuggling of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and other illicit drugs," said the sheriff's statement.
The organization also noted the kidnapping of four Americans in northern Mexico in late February, and the murder of two of those Americans.

"This crime recalls the Juarez Cartel’s brutal murder of six women and three children who were members of the La Mora community in 2019," said the NSA. "The victims held dual U.S.-Mexican citizenship. The cartels’ turf wars and related murders are infamous, and these murders also victimize the people of Mexico. Simply put, the cartels are the enemy of good people on both sides of the border."
"New initiatives in Congress are calling on the U.S. government to use more determined tools to degrade, undermine and eliminate the most powerful drug cartels in Mexico," said the sheriffs. "NSA applauds these efforts and asks Congress to use its broad legislative authorities to build a comprehensive system of manpower and other tools to prevent illicit drugs from being produced, smuggled, and sold on American streets."
Several U.S. senators have called on the State Department to use its authority to declare the Mexican cartels Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). This would give the U.S. government authority to deploy the military against the cartels and their drug labs, and also employ means to track and seize the cartels' finances.

In a Feb. 8, 2023 letter to President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, 21 state attorneys general called for classifying the cartels as FTOS. They also wrote, "The Mexican drug cartels threaten our national security beyond the sale of these deadly drugs. Over the past decade, Mexican drug cartels have developed well-organized armed forces to protect their reprehensible trade from rivals and from the Mexican government."
"The existence of such forces just across our southwestern land border, and the Mexican government’s inability to control them, pose a threat to our national security far greater than a typical drug-trafficking enterprise," said the attorneys general.
The letter also notes that DEA Administrator Anne Milgram has declared, "fentanyl is the single deadliest drug threat our nation has ever faced," and that the Washington Post has reported, “an estimated 196 Americans are now dying each day from the drug -- the equivalent of a fully loaded Boeing 757-200 crashing and killing everyone on board.”
On March 9, 2023, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador fired back at U.S. lawmakers. “Here, we do not produce fentanyl, and we do not have consumption of fentanyl,” claimed López Obrador. “Why don’t they [United States] take care of their problem of social decay?”

"We deeply lament what's happening in the United States -- but why don't they fight the problem ... and more importantly why don't they take care of their youth?" said the Mexican president.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), in an interview with NPR, said, "Clearly the president of Mexico doesn't care that 70, 000 people died of fentanyl overdose in America last year.... He's allowed his border to be controlled by the cartels and he doesn't care."
According to its statement, the National Sheriffs Association, which was founded 82 years ago, "is one of the largest non-profit associations of law enforcement professionals in the United States, representing more than 3,000 elected sheriffs across the nation, and with a total membership of approximately 10,000 individuals."

Poll: Most Want to Designate Mexican Cartels as Terrorist Organizations
Most likely voters want the U.S. government to designate Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Wednesday found.
The survey found most take the threat of Mexican drug cartels seriously, as 79 percent said it is either very or somewhat serious. Of those, 55 percent said Mexican drug cartels pose a “very” serious threat to the U.S. There is bipartisan consensus as well, as most Democrats (74 percent), Republicans (89 percent), and independents (74 percent) view it as a serious threat to the nation.
The survey also asked respondents if the U.S. government should designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations, and most, 69 percent, said yes, it should. Once again, there is bipartisan consensus as 65 percent of Democrats, 80 percent of Republicans, and 63 percent of independents believe the government should designate the Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
Per Rasmussen Reports:
President Joe Biden’s strongest opponents are most concerned about the cartel threat. Among voters who Strongly Disapprove of Biden’s job performance as president, 86% say the Mexican drug cartels are a Very Serious threat to the United States, and only seven percent (7%) are against designating the cartels as terrorist organizations. By contrast, among those who Strongly Approve of Biden’s performance, 34% view the Mexican cartels as a Very Serious threat and 26% are against designating the drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
The survey was taken March 9 and 12-13, 2023, among 950 likely U.S. voters and has a +/- 3 percent margin of error.
Lawmakers have moved to address the issue, as Sens. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Roger Marshall (R-KS) reintroduced the Drug Cartel Terrorist Designation Act this month, which would designate Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations.
“What happened in Mexico yesterday was a tragedy and a symptom of a larger problem stemming from the culture supported by our national leadership,” Marshall said in a statement following news of four Americans kidnapped in Mexico, two of whom died.
According to the AP, “Two of four Americans were killed in Mexico when their van was caught in the crossfire of rival cartel groups last week, a top Mexican official said Tuesday.”
“The drug cartels have taken full advantage of the culture of lawlessness Joe Biden has created by leaving our southern border wide open, promoting cashless bail, defunding the police, turning his back on violent riots, and denying the fentanyl crisis is created by his policies,” Marshall continued, accusing the White House of being “derelict in its duty to execute the law faithfully and protect the homeland, which is why our country needs the Drug Cartel Terrorist Designation Act to give federal authorities more power to preserve every Americans’ safety and security.”
Sen. Scott also pointed to President Biden’s “botched border policies” emboldening criminals.
He said:
For too long, Biden’s botched border policies have prioritized criminals and cartels over legal immigration and Americans’ safety. Dictators, cartels and bad guys around the world know that Biden is a weak appeaser with open border policies. They’re taking full advantage by trafficking evil drugs like fentanyl across the southern border, poisoning our communities and killing our loved ones. Those who knowingly distribute these highly lethal drugs are declaring war on Americans and deserve to be held accountable and classified as the terrorists they are.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Merrick Garland believes there are “diplomatic concerns” related to designating the Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
“They are already designated in any number of ways and sanctioned,” Garland said during a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing . “I wouldn’t oppose it, but again, I want to point out that there are diplomatic concerns. We need the assistance of Mexico in this.”
