The Biden administration has largely ignored efforts to get native-born Americans back into the workforce, instead adding millions of foreign workers to the labor market which adds downward pressure, particularly for working-class Americans in terms of finding jobs and securing higher wages. JOHN BINDER
Is it all that different from his open borders policies, where millions of unvetted foreign migrants are flooding into this country without authorization, bringing crime, drugs, and costs, yet there too nothing is done about it? Joe offers an absurd excuse for that decision, as well claiming that all migrants who can utter the magic word 'asylum' are entitled to a free ride inside the U.S. for years or more, amounting to an all-expenses paid trip for thousands. MONICA SHOWALTER
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), on Thursday, slammed Biden’s plan to open Obamacare and Medicaid rolls to illegal aliens, calling it “an insult to American citizenship.”
“Rewarding illegal immigration will bring more illegal immigration,” Cotton said.
Faced with an unrelenting surge of foreign nationals coming to the southern border, the Biden Administration has devised a new plan: More comfortable housing for people in the country illegally.
NYC Council’s ‘Common Sense Caucus’ Urges State Supreme Court to Amend ‘Right to Shelter’ Rules for Illegals
The New York City Council’s Common Sense Caucus has sent a letter asking the state’s Supreme Court to amend the “right to shelter” rules to allow Big Apple officials to turn away illegal immigrants if resources are unavailable to house them.
Council member Robert Holden, a registered Democrat, recently posted his letter to New York Supreme Court Judge Erika Edwards on X (formerly Twitter), revealing his request, backed by seven other city council members, to amend the state’s rules requiring officials to pay for shelters for illegals.
Holden’s letter let the Supreme Court know that they are supporting the defendants and the City of New York in efforts to seek an amendment in the Callahan vs. Carey right-to-shelter ruling that “would allow the City to cease the right to shelter when it ‘lacks the resources and capacity to establish and maintain sufficient shelter sites.'”
In 1979, the Callahan vs. Carey decision ensured the right to shelter for homeless people in New York City. But the decades-old ruling is woefully outdated, the Common Sense Caucus says.
“On May 22, 2023, Assistant Corporation Counsel Jonathan Pines wrote to the court that New York City was in crisis due to an unprecedented influx of migrants, which had compelled the city to extend itself ‘further than its resources will allow,'” the letter reads, “placing in jeopardy the City’s obligation to… provide for the well-being of all its citizens.'”
“In the three months since, this crisis has escalated and the need for relief from this consent decree is more urgent than ever. Our city is long past its breaking point,” the group’s letter continued.
“When the parties signed the Callahan vs. Carey consent degree 42 years ago, they could not have possibly imagined the dire situation the City finds itself in now, nor did they contemplate that the newly created right to shelter would apply to migrants who are neither United States citizens nor New Yorkers,” the letter said.
The legislators also noted that the right to shelter has been amended several times, including to add certain limits, so it is clear that the ruling “does not extend the right to shelter to anyone, under any circumstance, for any period of time,” they said.

emorris“Unfortunately, even as duly elected Members of the New York City Council, we do not have the authority to provide a legislative solution to this current crisis,” the letter states. “That authority is entirely yours,” the letter reminds the state’s Supreme Court.
“We urge you to do what is right for the residents of New York City and grant the Defendants’ motion to limit the right to shelter and provide urgently needed relief from this consent decree,” the letter concludes.
The letter is signed by Holden and council members, including Joseph Borelli, Inna Vernikov, David Carr, Joann Ariola, Vickie Paladino, Kalman Yeger, and Ari Kagan.
WATCH: Migrants Waiting for Entry to Roosevelt Hotel
Saul AcevedoThe case has become a hot potato for some New York Democrats. State Attorney General Letitia James, for instance, is refusing to even represent the Democrat governor in the lawsuit seeking to expand the state’s right-to-shelter rules, an expansion that would force the government to fund even more shelters.
On the other hand, at least one New York county executive has announced that he won’t take any more border crossers from New York City Mayor Eric Adams, right to shelter rules or not.
On August 12, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz demanded that Mayor Adams stop bussing illegals from New York City to his northern New York county after two of Adams’ migrants were arrested and accused of rape in Erie County shelters.
The influx of illegal aliens has easily reached crisis levels. According to CBS News, more than 95,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since the spring alone.

The Problem With Biden’s Plan to House Illegal Aliens
Another racket designed for very clear purposes.
Faced with an unrelenting surge of foreign nationals coming to the southern border, the Biden Administration has devised a new plan: More comfortable housing for people in the country illegally.
The White House is requesting roughly $1 billion in funding to set up new housing for illegal aliens while their overwhelmingly illegitimate asylum claims play out in the courts. Under the administration’s plan, beneficiaries of this new program would be free to go where they wish during the day, but would have to check in and stay the night in their houses, according to Axios.
But, here’s the kicker. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the language of the White House’s proposal would allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to use any of its funding on housing for illegal aliens instead of enforcement. The use of the funds would be at the discretion of anti-borders Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. One can only imagine how Mayorkas is salivating at the potential opportunity to use his agency’s funding to further his anti-borders agenda.
As former Acting ICE Director and Immigration Reform Law Institute Senior Fellow Tom Homan put it, this program would “would serve as yet another enticement, another magnet that will bring more families to our borders.”
If this new housing program were to take effect, it would serve as further encouragement for foreign nationals to make the dangerous journey through Central America to the U.S. The Biden Administration spent the first half of 2023 concocting schemes to artificially lower the number of illegal crossings at the southern border, but those numbers still skyrocketed by more than 30 percent last month. The promise of new and improved housing for illegal aliens will surely cause those numbers to soar even higher, empowering the cartels, and causing many migrants to die in the process, while further disrupting border communities already overwhelmed by the crisis.
The administration’s proposed housing program appears to be another racket, designed to weaken our borders under the guise of compassion. Everyone agrees that foreign nationals, even those who cross our border illegally, deserve to be treated humanely and compassionately while they’re here, but this housing plan goes far beyond that. Instead, the plan uses the promise of free housing and freedom of movement to lure more foreign nationals into the country, and it does so during a time when many Americans have been forced to live on the streets due to the lack of affordable housing in the U.S.
If you live in or have recently visited a major U.S. city, it is impossible not to notice the large number of Americans living in tents and blankets on the streets, and the statistics bear this reality out. More than 420,000 Americans are currently homeless, and that number has climbed by around six percent every year since 2017, according to National Alliance to End Homelessness. This includes roughly 37,000 veterans, who have been forced to sleep in the streets of the country they risked their lives to serve. If the Biden Administration is looking to expand housing for certain groups, they should start with the hundreds of thousands of Americans who are currently homeless.
Thankfully, Congress, not the administration, holds the power of the purse, and thus has the final say on whether this program will be funded. Congress should decline to play games with the administration’s misplaced priorities, and instead insist that any new funding for ICE and DHS go towards enforcement and border security, not increased comfort for those who have violated our laws and illegally crossed our border.
Almost every policy this administration proposes or enacts on this issue is designed to weaken America’s borders and import even more illegal aliens into the country. This new housing program is just the latest example of this.
William J. Davis is a communications associate for the Immigration Reform Law Institute, a public interest law firm working to defend the rights and interests of the American people from the negative effects of mass migration.
"This is how they will destroy America from within. The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never be exposed to the cost of the invasion of millions of migrants. They have nothing but contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities being intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human traffickers. These people have no intention of becoming Americans; like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us." PATRICIA McCARTHY
Penn State offers in-state tuition to out-of-staters if certain conditions are met
It is a timeless aphorism: “Under the left, it pays to be a criminal.” It was true of the Nazi Party’s Brownshirts, it was true of the Bolshevik revolutionaries, and it’s true of America’s illegal alien population under the modern Democrats.
Per a Campus Reform article out Wednesday:
Amidst a budget crisis, Pennsylvania State University offers in-state tuition rates to qualifying illegal immigrants while American citizens across the country are charged out-of-state tuition.
For reference, in-state tuition is roughly half of the out-of-state price tag ($19,284 compared to $38,651). Furthermore:
… foreign students who legally immigrated to the United States to study at Penn State paid more than even out-of-state students, as tuition and fees amounted to $40,151.
Alright, so let me get this straight. If you’re an out-of-stater looking to attend Penn State, your residency status doesn’t matter, just as long as you’re not an American citizen, or a legal immigrant who respects the rule of law. However, if you’re a migrant whose first act upon entering the country was to commit a felony, then you’re in luck!
Sounds about right for Democrats.
Let’s give credit where credit is due — for a group that’s usually marred by wholesale inconsistency, they can be remarkably consistent. I mean, their “no uterus, no opinion” but men can also be women because anatomy doesn’t determine “gender”? “In this house we believe … kindness is everything” unless you’re a “MAGAt”? Tolerance, diversity, and multiculturalism are virtues but it’s fine to abuse Christian conservatives? But…. When it comes to their hatred for America and their love of lawlessness, they’re supremely consistent.
Ronald Reagan laid the foundation for the absolute trainwreck invasion by which we now find ourselves victimized, and we are paying, literally and figuratively.
In 1776, Thomas Paine wrote the first American Crisis pamphlet, which included this line, “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: It is dearness only that gives every thing its value.”
Everything is “cheap” to the migrants pouring into our communities: from “citizenship” to college. How could they ever understand what those things really cost?

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD JOE ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF HOMELESS AMERICANS???
Biden Approves Migrant Camp at NYC Airfield Despite Residents’ Opposition
President Joe Biden is ignoring concerns from Brooklyn, New York, residents and has greenlit a plan that will see at least 2,000 single adult male border crossers and illegal aliens housed in a former naval airfield facility — paid for by New Yorkers.
On Tuesday, residents in southeast Brooklyn protested New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D) plan to turn Floyd Bennett Field, owned by the federal government, into a massive migrant camp.
The former naval airfield sits along Jamaica Bay and near multiple neighborhoods including Gerritsen Beach, Roxbury, and Breezy Point.
“I live here, I grew up here,” one resident told News 12. “It’s going to make the neighborhood way more dangerous.”
During the protest, former GOP candidate for New York City mayor Curtis Sliwa blamed Biden’s lax enforcement of federal immigration law for the more than 100,000 migrants that have arrived in the city since the spring of last year.
“The people here feel that they have been betrayed,” Sliwa said at the protest. “No transparency whatsoever. It’s like ‘Pay your taxes, shut up, raise your kids, and we’ll tell you what you’re going to do.’ Well, we’ve had enough, no more of the illegal aliens. Enough is enough, this is Joe Biden’s problem.”
Despite concerns from nearby residents, Hochul confirmed on Wednesday that the Biden administration had approved her plan to house thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens at the airfield.
Hochul, praising the effort, said New Yorkers will pick up the tab for the migrant camp.
“I’m viewing this as a significant development by the administration … to acknowledge that we need more help here,” Hochul said.
The migrant camp at the airfield will be among many set up in New York City. Also this week, Mayor Eric Adams (D) opened a mega migrant shelter on Randall’s Island that will disrupt recreation services for school children as it sits on three soccer fields.
That mega shelter may soon house about 3,000 single adult male border crossers and illegal aliens at a cost of $20 million every month for New York City taxpayers. This is in addition to the $12 billion bill that New Yorkers are projected to pay to provide housing, food, care, and public services to migrants arriving from the southern border.

New York Reform Laws Allow Illegal To Brutally Rape Woman
Welcome to Leftism.
New York may very well have the worst bail reform law out there, as it allows so many people to slip through the cracks.
The law was put together by Democrats in the hopes of making things more fair for those who were arrested. However, it’s a little too lenient; and, based on this report, many are using it to their advantage, including repeat offenders.
For instance, illegal immigrant Cruz Garcia, who was previously wanted by ICE, was able to leave custody due to the controversial bail laws. And in turn, that allowed him to commit another brutal crime that he was arrested for.
Garcia has been indicted for first-degree rape and unlawful imprisonment of a woman, as well as second-degree strangulation. This happened in late July, and the events were so brutal from it that the woman nearly lost consciousness over Garcia’s actions.
This follows New York previously booking him on unrelated felony charges back in mid-June in Orange County, including felony DWI and first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation. But thanks to New York’s “relaxed” laws, he was able to slip out and commit even more crime.
Delaware County Acting District Attorney Shawn Smith voiced his displeasure over the reform laws. “Unfortunately, due to New York State’s bail reform laws, the defendant was automatically released from custody on those felony charges,” Smith explained in a statement. “This defendant lacks any legal status in the United States, and he was wanted by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE], due to an unrelated criminal conviction, prior to the Orange County indictment or this indictment.”
And yet, he was just let go, to commit more heinous acts.
Rep. Marc Molinaro, a Republican for New York, wasn’t pleased with the reform laws: “We need to stop accepting failed policies that put families in our communities in danger. There is nothing controversial or partisan about prioritizing the safety of Upstate New Yorkers. I once again call for bipartisan action.”
Absolutely nailed it on the head. I’m not sure what those Democrats were thinking when they put the laws together to begin with. More humane treatment? Trying to avoid filling up those jail cells so they can pay less money to police officers? Hey, your guess is as good as mine. But the bottom line is that this system is failing. Horrendously.
Republican state Senator Peter Oberacker added some fuel to the fire, discussing the “dual failures” of both New York and Washington when it came to bail reform laws. “The absence of any practical immigration policy coupled with the proven debacle known as bail reform is endangering public life on a daily basis. Dangerous criminals continue to receive a pass here in New York State and our police and prosecutors are forced to continually fight upstream to do their jobs.”
Perhaps the most concerning thing of all is that so many immigrants are now entering our country, while President Joe Biden twiddles his thumbs and occasionally points at a Border Patrol agent, blaming them for the mess. While innocent people, like the woman Garcia so heavily assaulted, pay the price.
New York State Police are looking into the matter, thank goodness. But you really have to wonder just how much those troublesome Democrats are going to bind their hands in the matter, simply stating that it’s all about that “reform policy” and how it’s not adding to the growing criminal activity within their state.
Gov. Kathy Hochul believes that the bail reform has a “righteous” goal. In an earlier statement, she noted that “the size of someone’s bank account should not determine whether they sit in jail, or return home, before they have even been convicted of a crime.”
But you’ll let a migrant slip away and hurt even more people, while paying attention to someone’s checkbook?
This system needs an overhaul. Badly. Otherwise, more migrants are going to be out there, committing criminal acts while New York insists it doesn’t have a problem. I assure you – it does.

REALTY: BIDEN AND MAYORKAS HAVE BEEN BUSING ILLEGALS ALL OVER THE 48 CONTIGUOUS STATES
AS AMERICAN'S WITHOUT HOUSING SLEEP ON SIDEWALKS
New York City is paying hotels up to $300 a day to house migrants who are not even legally in the United States.
New York City's Self-Made Migrant Crisis
New York City is paying hotels up to $300 a day to house migrants who are not even legally in the United States.
The city is diverting city resources from essential services for which the city's residents have paid taxes to people who are not in any way entitled to them. "Some of New York City's struggling hotels are charging the city premium rates to provide emergency housing for migrants—even as the city slashes services to pay the bills" (emphasis is mine). In other words, illegal migrants are being permitted to steal from New York's taxpayers, and with the city's government as willful accomplices. At what point do New York City's workers and taxpayers push back by refusing to pay these costs?
Refugees, Immigrants, and Migrants
The Left will doubtlessly bleat that "racists" are against migrants and asylum seekers, and also cite the New Testament parable of no room at the inn. One who has the means to do so should extend hospitality to struggling strangers, but not if one lacks the means to provide for one's own family and guests (i.e. citizens and lawful immigrants). We have veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and high suicide rates who are not getting the help they need even though they served our country. We have homeless citizens, and Code Blue alerts in winter to get them into some kind of temporary shelter which does not cost anywhere near $300 a day; the communal housing plus a hot meal is probably closer to $20 or $30. We have children in failing schools, most of which are in failed Deep Blue-governed cities, and money squandered on illegal migrants is money stolen from these people to whom our society has an obligation. Do these homeless Americans in New York City look like they are being lodged in $300 hotel rooms?
There are meanwhile three classes of people who enter the United States; two are desirable and one is undesirable.
- A refugee is fleeing an oppressive regime, like the Jews whom Franklin Delano Roosevelt, God the Father in the Democrat Trinity (with Obama as the Son and Lyndon Johnson the Holy Ghost) sent back to Nazi Germany to be murdered. Vietnamese "boat people" who fled the Communists, Afghan women who don't want the Taliban to throw acid in their faces for going to school, and Iranian woman who don't want to be raped in Evin Prison for refusing to wear burqas are all refugees. The same goes for Hong Kong Chinese who don't want to live in Xinnie the Pooh's surveillance society, and Ukrainians who don't want to be ruled by Vladimir Putin.
- Refugees whom Franklin Roosevelt didn't manage to send back to Nazi Germany to be murdered included Albert Einstein, Hans Bethe, John von Neumann, Leo Szilard, James Franck, Edward Teller, Rudolf Peierls, and Klaus Fuchs. Enrico Fermi was meanwhile a refugee from Fascist Italy. This is why the civilized world got the atomic bomb and the Axis didn't. When a country turns into an outhouse (the family-friendly version of the word Donald Trump used), as Germany did in 1933, the best people are usually the first to leave.
- An immigrant is somebody with job skills who is willing to learn English if he or she doesn't already know it, and wants to Americanize by adopting our national values and culture. Unless we're Native Americans, we are immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Canada, our liberal neighbor next door, requires immigrants to know English or French, and may give bonus points for both, and also to have money or job skills. Canada does not allow migrants who lack these things to leech off its generous social welfare programs, although it does welcome refugees, Ukrainians, and Hong Kong Chinese.
- A migrant is somebody who just walks across the border the same way a burglar walks into your house, and acts as if he owns the place. Here is a video of adult migrants in Hungary throwing away food that is given to them by the police, although the children do appear grateful for the aid. Citizens and legal immigrants in Texas feel unsafe in their own neighborhoods because of swarms of illegal migrants. The bottom line is that these migrants would not come if they did not expect to be given more than emergency food, shelter, and medical care. We don't let people starve or freeze on our streets, nor do the Hungarians allow people to starve or freeze on theirs either, but taxpayers have no duty to give them more than basic subsistence until they can be returned to their countries of origin. The fact that New York City taxpayers are being forced to carry them shows meanwhile that they are either not working or, if they are, are not earning enough to live in a pay-more-get-less venue like New York.
If people are really seeking asylum, however, resources should be provided for them to do so—possibly through offices right on the border. Although consulates cannot offer asylum, they can offer other forms of protection to people who are really fleeing oppression. We would be ashamed to repeat Franklin Roosevelt's behavior by sending refugees back to countries where they will be oppressed or killed, or by putting American citizens into concentration camps as Roosevelt did with people of Japanese ancestry. Refugees, yes; immigrants, yes; migrants, no.
This Needs to be an Issue in 2024
It is no surprise that the Democrat Left wants to reinstate the state and local tax (SALT) deduction. This will force working Americans to help carry wealthy elitists in pay-more-get-less cities like New York and Los Angeles, as the elitists in question pay far more than the standard deduction in state, local, and property taxes. If you want to live in a $2.4 million trailer in California on your own money, that's up to you but don't ask me or others to help carry your income and property taxes. If you want to vote for left-wing Democrats in New York City who need to raise taxes to carry illegal migrants, you go ahead and do that but don't try to get me or any other taxpayers to carry your bad decisions. This is a strong argument to "use your head and vote Red" in November 2024.
People who buy goods and services need to realize, meanwhile, that the cost of squandering billions of dollars on illegal migrants, as well as New York's astronomical rents, prices in general, and property taxes, is built into the price of everything that originates there. Do New York lawyers charge up to $1000 an hour because they're really better lawyers, or is it because they have to cover sky-high office rental costs and living costs in general?
Are you planning a conference? The fact that NYC has stuffed its hotels full of illegal migrants means hotel space will command premium prices if you can find it at all, and intelligent employers will be unwilling to cover these costs for business travel. Schedule your conference somewhere else, maybe in a flyover country small town with hotel shuttles to the nearest airport. Online conferences eliminate travel and lodging costs completely.

Schumer: GOP’s Investigations into Biden Family ‘Don’t Matter to the Average American’
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that the American people did not care about Republican lawmakers’ investigations into President Joe Biden’s son Hunter.
Schumer said, “Let’s compare it to the Republicans. We’re investing, there are investigating. All they seem to do is want to investigate this, that and the other thing. That doesn’t help the American people. The contrast of yesterday, a former president being indicted for trying to deny an election, and this president today talking about investing in America, that’s going to sink in. It’s our job to make sure it sinks in.”
Co-host Joe Scarborough said, “I mean, their investigations are so stupid I am embarrassed for them. They are talking to arms dealers and people that illegally smuggle oil to the Communist Chinese Party. They talk about tapes and the FBI Grassley gives up the game and says we don’t care if he’s guilty or not. I could go down the list.”
Schumer said, “These investigations don’t matter to the average American people. This is the right-wing, the hard right-wing talking to each other. Let them keep talking to each other. We’re talking to the American people.”
Scarborough said, “Yeah, talking to themselves.”

Report: NYC Considers Housing Migrants in Old Jail Where Jeffrey Epstein Died
New York City officials are considering housing border crossers and illegal aliens in the former jail where convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein died.
Since the spring of last year, about 100,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York City, spurring Mayor Eric Adams (D) to urge those at the United States-Mexico border not to travel to the sanctuary city.
While Adams struggles to keep border crossers and illegal aliens off the streets, the Associated Press (AP) reported that city officials are now considering putting new arrivals in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan — the federally operated jail that closed in 2021 after Epstein, accused of operating a global sex trafficking ring, was found dead in his jail cell.
RELATED VIDEO — Migrants Waiting for Entry to Roosevelt Hotel:
emorrisThe AP reported:
The letter, written by a senior counsel for the city’s law department, identifies several other sites in which migrants could potentially be housed, including the defunct Metropolitan Correctional Center, which closed in 2021.
That shutdown came after the detention center, whose prisoners have included Mafia don John Gotti, associates of Osama bin Laden and the Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, came under new scrutiny because of squalid conditions and security lapses exposed following Epstein’s death.
Such a move would come as Adams has already been housing adult male border crossers and illegal aliens in a former jail in Harlem.
Meanwhile, Republicans and New Yorkers are blasting Adams and New York City for attempts to pawn off border crossers and illegal aliens to their communities and neighborhoods. At the Creedmoor Psychiatric Facility in Queens Village, Queens, this week, residents protested Adams putting migrants in tents on the property.
Most recently, for instance, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman (R) warned Adams not to send migrants to Long Island.
“Let me make it clear one more time — Nassau County is not a sanctuary county,” Blakeman said during a press conference Thursday. “We are not inviting immigrants and migrants into the county that are here from south of the border and not using proper and normal channels that have been used in the past.”
Likewise, Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella (R) is lobbying New York’s congressional delegation to pass legislation in the House and Senate that would require border crossers and illegal aliens to be sent to the National Mall in Washington, DC.
“Immigration is a federal responsibility … Staten Island didn’t cause this problem,” Fossella told the New York Post. “Why is Staten Island being asked to solve the migrant crisis.”
Every day, illegal immigration costs New Yorkers nearly $8 million, and by 2025, Adams’ office projects it will have cost city taxpayers about $12 billion.

It is no surprise that the Democrat Left wants to reinstate the state and local tax (SALT) deduction. This will force working Americans to help carry wealthy elitists in pay-more-get-less cities like New York and Los Angeles, as the elitists in question pay far more than the standard deduction in state, local, and property taxes. If you want to live in a $2.4 million trailer in California on your own money, that's up to you but don't ask me or others to help carry your income and property taxes. If you want to vote for left-wing Democrats in New York City who need to raise taxes to carry illegal migrants, you go ahead and do that but don't try to get me or any other taxpayers to carry your bad decisions. This is a strong argument to "use your head and vote Red" in November 2024.
People who buy goods and services need to realize, meanwhile, that the cost of squandering billions of dollars on illegal migrants, as well as New York's astronomical rents, prices in general, and property taxes, is built into the price of everything that originates there. Do New York lawyers charge up to $1000 an hour because they're really better lawyers, or is it because they have to cover sky-high office rental costs and living costs in general?
Are you planning a conference? The fact that NYC has stuffed its hotels full of illegal migrants means hotel space will command premium prices if you can find it at all, and intelligent employers will be unwilling to cover these costs for business travel. Schedule your conference somewhere else, maybe in a flyover country small town with hotel shuttles to the nearest airport. Online conferences eliminate travel and lodging costs completely.

Schumer: GOP’s Investigations into Biden Family ‘Don’t Matter to the Average American’
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that the American people did not care about Republican lawmakers’ investigations into President Joe Biden’s son Hunter.
Schumer said, “Let’s compare it to the Republicans. We’re investing, there are investigating. All they seem to do is want to investigate this, that and the other thing. That doesn’t help the American people. The contrast of yesterday, a former president being indicted for trying to deny an election, and this president today talking about investing in America, that’s going to sink in. It’s our job to make sure it sinks in.”
Co-host Joe Scarborough said, “I mean, their investigations are so stupid I am embarrassed for them. They are talking to arms dealers and people that illegally smuggle oil to the Communist Chinese Party. They talk about tapes and the FBI Grassley gives up the game and says we don’t care if he’s guilty or not. I could go down the list.”
Schumer said, “These investigations don’t matter to the average American people. This is the right-wing, the hard right-wing talking to each other. Let them keep talking to each other. We’re talking to the American people.”
Scarborough said, “Yeah, talking to themselves.”

Report: NYC Considers Housing Migrants in Old Jail Where Jeffrey Epstein Died
New York City officials are considering housing border crossers and illegal aliens in the former jail where convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein died.
Since the spring of last year, about 100,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York City, spurring Mayor Eric Adams (D) to urge those at the United States-Mexico border not to travel to the sanctuary city.
While Adams struggles to keep border crossers and illegal aliens off the streets, the Associated Press (AP) reported that city officials are now considering putting new arrivals in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan — the federally operated jail that closed in 2021 after Epstein, accused of operating a global sex trafficking ring, was found dead in his jail cell.

emorrisThe AP reported:
The letter, written by a senior counsel for the city’s law department, identifies several other sites in which migrants could potentially be housed, including the defunct Metropolitan Correctional Center, which closed in 2021.
That shutdown came after the detention center, whose prisoners have included Mafia don John Gotti, associates of Osama bin Laden and the Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, came under new scrutiny because of squalid conditions and security lapses exposed following Epstein’s death.
Such a move would come as Adams has already been housing adult male border crossers and illegal aliens in a former jail in Harlem.
Meanwhile, Republicans and New Yorkers are blasting Adams and New York City for attempts to pawn off border crossers and illegal aliens to their communities and neighborhoods. At the Creedmoor Psychiatric Facility in Queens Village, Queens, this week, residents protested Adams putting migrants in tents on the property.
Most recently, for instance, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman (R) warned Adams not to send migrants to Long Island.
“Let me make it clear one more time — Nassau County is not a sanctuary county,” Blakeman said during a press conference Thursday. “We are not inviting immigrants and migrants into the county that are here from south of the border and not using proper and normal channels that have been used in the past.”
Likewise, Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella (R) is lobbying New York’s congressional delegation to pass legislation in the House and Senate that would require border crossers and illegal aliens to be sent to the National Mall in Washington, DC.
“Immigration is a federal responsibility … Staten Island didn’t cause this problem,” Fossella told the New York Post. “Why is Staten Island being asked to solve the migrant crisis.”
Every day, illegal immigration costs New Yorkers nearly $8 million, and by 2025, Adams’ office projects it will have cost city taxpayers about $12 billion.

Schumer: GOP’s Investigations into Biden Family ‘Don’t Matter to the Average American’
Where were the whistleblowers at the Justice department in 2008, calling out this pure abuse of power by Obama? Where were the congressional hearings and articles of impeachment?
Newly declassified memos detail extent of improper Obama-era NSA spying
The Obama/Biden Justice department refused to enforce immigration laws. Politicians and bureaucrats in sanctuary cities and states were above the law.
The Clinton and Biden families were allowed to use their powerful government positions to solicit massive kickbacks for themselves and their families from foreign sources, and they were and are above the law.
Democrats not only didn’t care about the kickbacks, they impeached Trump for wanting an investigation into the Biden corruption.
While members of the Obama/Biden crime syndicate could violate as many laws as they liked, they were also targeting innocent people like Gen. Michael Flynn and energy expert Carter Page for destruction.
It is no wonder there is so much corruption and criminal activity among politicians and bureaucrats thrives throughout the United States when the press is coopted, asleep, or just don’t care. They frequently bury the stories and actively campaign for the corrupt criminals. It is sad that they support putting corrupt criminals in the White House. They support anyone who seeks to make the government run by leftists more powerful.
Meanwhile, they will seek to destroy anyone who wants to give the power, purse, and freedom back to the people as fast as possible. They don’t care about how many fake stories, such as Russian collusion, they have to peddle in their efforts to defeat political opponents. Evidence and the truth are not important. Anonymous sources are treated as evidence. Only victory for leftists matters and that truly makes the media an existential threat to our survival as a great country.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Border Control Is Love, Not Hate
Under President Joe Biden, and with Obama’s quiet backing, Democratic progressives have imported more than five million illegals — along with millions of legal immigrants and visa workers.
The huge inflow of migrants has subsidized coastal investors, imported clients for government agencies, weakened the political power of middle-class America, made many millions of Americans dependent on the government, and may keep the Democrat party in power for decades.
The massive flood has displaced millions of younger and older Americans, cut wages, pushed up housing prices, enriched coastal investors, impoverished heartland states, and helped expand drug deaths in the United States.
Biden’s loose border policies have diverted investment from the migrants’ home countries, fueled cartel networks, subsidized foreign dictatorships, and created a nationwide archipelago of U.S. workplaces where migrant adults and teenagers work in terrible conditions to pay off their debts to the cartels.
Biden’s migration has also killed thousands of migrants:
The couple [Pedro Luis Torrealba, and his wife said they] started the roadless crossing on the border between Colombia and Panama — the deadly Darién Gap — with more than 60 other migrants, Torrealba said outside the parish house on Thursday night. Only 22 completed the trek across the 60 miles of jungle and steep mountains, he said. Some fell from cliffs, others were swept away by flood waters.
But Kennedy has recognized the damage and unpopularity of Biden’s migration:
Extraction Migration
The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of Extraction Migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy.
The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also boosted rents and housing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and contributed to the rising death rate of 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 also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans, because the population replacement allows elites and the establishment to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of ordinary Americans.
In many speeches, border chief Alejandro Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elite opinion about “the values of our country” Mayorkas claims.
Migration — and especially, labor migration — is unpopular among swing voters. A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to an August 2022 poll commissioned 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.
The couple [Pedro Luis Torrealba, and his wife said they] started the roadless crossing on the border between Colombia and Panama — the deadly Darién Gap — with more than 60 other migrants, Torrealba said outside the parish house on Thursday night. Only 22 completed the trek across the 60 miles of jungle and steep mountains, he said. Some fell from cliffs, others were swept away by flood waters.
