WHY DOES REP CLYBURN THINK AMERICA IS AS STUPID AS HE? - Clyburn: Biden Is Lagging with Young Black Voters Because There’s ‘A Lot of Misinformation’ and ‘Incomplete’ Info.

NAME A SINGLE THING THE BANKSTER REGIME OF BARACK OBAMA, ERIC HOLDER AND 'CREDIT CARD' JOE BIDEN EVER DID FOR BLACK AMERICA OTHER THAN GIVE THEIR JOBS TO 'CHEAP' LABOR ILLEGALS!

JOE BIDEN'S HOUSE LAWYER MERRICK GARLAND COVERS UP FOR THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY

Illegal immigration to the United States in recent decades has tended to depress both wages and employment rates for low-skilled American citizens, a disproportionate number of whom are black men.

 Here is the problem in a nutshell.  Most Democrat voters don't realize that leftist idealogues have hijacked the Democrat party, actively pushing traditional Democrat politicians out.  They don't yet understand that the Democrat party they knew doesn't exist anymore.  Almost all of the major news organizations work together to lie to Democrat voters and feed them misinformation constantly.  Corrupted government entities like the FBI and the DOJ, and the leftists running all social media, have worked together to censor and silence any dissenting voices.  The goal is to create a false reality in the eyes of Democrat voters and shield them from the truth.  This is vital to ensure their continued support on Election Day.                                                         IAN MacCONNELL


Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to federal tax charges in California on Thursday.

The controversial tax charges did not include Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) violations and did not implicate President Joe Biden in any wrongdoing.

“The steps taken by Hunter to evade taxes are impressive, but not nearly as impressive as the efforts of the Justice Department to evade any direct implications for his father, President Biden,” Jonathan Turley, an attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School, wrote in the New York Post.

Special Counsel David Weiss indicted Hunter in December on nine charges, including three felonies: allegedly failing to file taxes, evading an assessment, and filing a fraudulent form.

The indictment alleges Hunter “willfully failed to pay his 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 taxes on time, despite having access to funds to pay some or all of these taxes” and instead “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle.”

Legal experts criticized Weiss’s scope of the indictment for three reasons:

  • Weiss did not charge Hunter as an unregistered foreign agent.
  • Limiting the indictment to tax evasion avoids influence-peddling (implicating Joe Biden).
  • Weiss only indicted Hunter on tax evasion that allegedly only occurred in recent years.

Hunter could face a maximum of 17 years in prison if convicted. In total, he faces 42 years in federal prison for nine tax and three gun charges.

Hunter’s problems are not limited to indictments. He is a material witness in the House impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden.

House investigators announced they would probe the Biden family in November 2022. They revealed Joe Biden received money from James and Hunter Biden. They also showed that nine additional Biden family members received payments from the family’s foreign business ventures, including two of Joe Biden’s grandchildren.

More evidence against Joe Biden can be found here and here.

Clyburn: Biden Is Lagging with Young Black Voters Because There’s ‘A Lot of Misinformation’ and ‘Incomplete’ Info.

On Friday’s broadcast of ABC’s “GMA3,” Biden 2024 Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) blamed President Joe Biden’s poor numbers among young black voters on “a lot of misinformation going on out here. There are a lot of things being said that [are] just not true.” And people basing their opinions on “incomplete” information.

Co-host DeMarco Morgan asked, “How concerned are you when it comes to the President’s ability to reach black voters? The President has an approval rating of 65% amongst black Americans aged 50 and up, but that drops down to 32% amongst black Americans under the age of 50. Are you concerned?”

Clyburn responded, “I’m concerned with the reporting of this, yes. When I see those numbers, my goodness, if there’s any truth to the numbers — which, I don’t believe them, because I talk to black people all the time. I have three black daughters. They tell me differently. My grandchildren tell me differently. So, I don’t know where those numbers are coming from. But when you ask a question and someone is basing their opinion on incomplete information or misinformation and the other side seems to be pretty good at misinformation, we know what happened in the last election, they didn’t stop when the election was over. It’s still going on now. So, there’s a lot of misinformation going on out here. There are a lot of things being said that [are] just not true. And I think that we are going to break through that when it goes one-on-one.”

Conservative radio host Larry Elder slammed President Joe Biden’s long history of racism toward blacks during a recent episode of The Breakfast Club, leaving host Charlamagne tha God stunned.

Larry Elder blasted Biden’s infamous comment about black voters that was made when the then- presidential candidate appeared on “The Breakfast Club” in 2020. Biden said that if black people don’t vote for him, then “you ain’t black.”

“This guy has done monstrous things to black people and then for him to come in here and tell you how you oughta think as a black person? That blew my mind,” Elder said.

Watch below:

Elder enumerated the many ways in which Biden has exacerbated economic conditions for black Americans, including creating an open southern border that has allowed millions of illegal aliens to flood the country.

He also cited Bidenflation and the White House’s opposition to school choice, noting that Biden’s children attended elite private schools.

Charlamagne tha God appeared stunned after Elder brought up Biden’s “you ain’t black” comment.

“I’m amazed that you weren’t mad about that,” Elder said.

“Umm… I’m not going to say that upset me, just like I’m not letting you upset me,” replied Charlamagne tha God.

Later, Charlamagne asked Elder how he should have responded to Biden’s insult.

“What I just now said — how dare you insult me and tell me how to think as a human being, let alone a black person. I don’t tell you how to think, Joe Biden, how dare you come in here and tell me how I should think. I’m going to vote for Donald Trump if I want to vote for Donald Trump. And if I want to vote for Donald Trump, that does not make me not black.”

“How insulting is that? How condescending is that?” Elder added.

Charlamagne seemed at a loss for words. “Mmm. You’re probably right. But I didn’t take it that way.”

IT'S THE SAME ALL OVER AMERICA!
Dem KC Mayor: Migrant Surge Is Helping Cause Homelessness, Which Hasn’t Gone Down Post-COVID

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Kansas City, MO Mayor Quinton Lucas (D) stated that migration is one issue causing a rise in homelessness and “we all thought after 2020 and 2021 and COVID, you would see numbers go back down, the world would get back to normal. You are not seeing that with homelessness.”

Lucas said, “I think you’re seeing a few different approaches: First, some mayors, like Mike Johnston in Denver and others are using these truly creative ideas to get everyone off the streets. And so, there’s a true, how do we build more housing, how do we once and for all get more support for HUD? That’s a key part of our initiative and saying that, frankly, we need funding. There are two other parts, though, of the homelessness discussion: One is the migration issue, which, at its core for mayors, as distinct from our federal partners, is truly a housing issue. We have people coming on our streets, even my city of Kansas City has seen an increase in populations from Venezuela and Haiti, something that is new for us. And then the third part of it really relates to drug addiction, substance abuse, and many of the mental health issues that people are facing. Without addressing all three, we’ll continue to see the incredible numbers of rising homelessness that we’ve caught around the country. And one thing that I think surprised a lot of people, we all thought after 2020 and 2021 and COVID, you would see numbers go back down, the world would get back to normal. You are not seeing that with homelessness. You’re really not seeing that with a lot of downtowns in our country, and that’s something all mayors are facing.”

 JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, 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.

Chicago Job Fair Offers 400 Jobs for Migrants as Native Black Population Suffers Rising Unemployment

Migrants were treated to a job fair in Chicago where employers were looking to offer about 400 of them jobs. Meanwhile, unemployment for city residents continues to trend upward.

The job fair was held on November 2 at the Chicago area Misericordia Home on the city’s north side where nearly 500 refugees from Venezuela, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Ukraine showed up to be courted for potential employment.

With interpreters provided for them, the migrants met with representatives in fields including health care, manufacturing, hospitality, logistics, and others.

The companies also offered help securing government services, legal papers, and even training and educational opportunities.

One of the organizers of the job fair was a migrant from Afghanistan.

Siam Pasarly, the co-founder of Kaar Poh Staffing Agency, told Chicago’s WGN-TV that he hopes to help immigrants avoid the struggles he went through when he first came to Chicago.

“It is very difficult, it is very tough. Until you experience it, you just don’t know,” he exclaimed.

Meanwhile, even as other sectors in the city have recovered, black unemployment in the Windy City is still bad.

According to Crains Chicago Business, the black unemployment rate is 10.9 percent in Illinois, more than three times higher than white unemployment at 3.4 percent.

In Chicago, it is worse as the “jobless rate rose from 43.7% to 57.4% between 2019 and 2021 for Black people ages 20 to 24 in Chicago. The unemployment rate increase for Black women aged 20-24 was staggering, rising from 32% in 2019 to 60% in 2021,” the business paper noted in June.

By August, national unemployment was at 3.7 percent, but for black Americans in Chicago it was 14.3 percent, WTTW-TV reported.

This is one of the many problems that is riling the city’s black population against the rapidly growing number of migrants in the Windy City.

The influx of illegal aliens has many activists for Chicago’s black community worried and angry. In September, left-wing Chicago Catholic priest Father Michael Pfleger said that fast-tracking work permits for illegal immigrants would put jobs for his black flock at risk.

“What are we putting in place to make sure that there are no institutions in this city, this state, and country that will fire Black people because they have to pay them $15 or $16 an hour and then hire a migrant and pay them $5 an hour? What are we putting in place?” he asked.

In another case, Chicago activist Zoey Lee, who appeared at a Chicago City Council meeting, voiced a growing sentiment among black Chicagoans, accusing city leaders of trying to start a “race war” between black Americans and Hispanics.

“To come here and continue to see more Hispanics and Latinos get jobs than blacks here is a disrespect,” she added. “It’s a punch in the face.”

MLK’s Wife Coretta Scott King: Illegal Immigration Drives Down Wages, Living Standards for America’s Working Class

Coretta Scott King, the wife of Martin Luther King, Jr., once helped successfully quash legislation from Republicans and Democrats in the early 1990s that would have eliminated fines for United States employers hiring illegal aliens over Americans.

In 1991, former Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) led an effort in Congress to pass legislation that would have thrown out the ability of the federal government to fine American employers for hiring illegal aliens — the leading magnet for illegal immigration to the nation for decades.

Former Sens. John McCain (R-AZ), Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Arlen Specter (R-PA), and Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) were co-sponsors of Hatch’s legislation, while in the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and then-Reps. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and John Lewis (D-GA) were among the co-sponsors of an identical bill from former Rep. Edward Roybal (D-CA).

When Scott King got wind of Hatch’s legislation, she authored a letter with other Civil Rights leaders detailing how illegal immigration diminishes wages, living standards, quality of life, and employment opportunities for America’s working class and, specifically, black Americans who are most likely to compete against illegal aliens for jobs.

“We are concerned, Senator Hatch, that your proposed … elimination of employer sanctions will cause another problem — the revival of pre-1986 discrimination against black and brown U.S. and documented workers, in favor of cheap labor — the undocumented workers,” Scott King wrote in 1991.

She told the nearly 50,000 persons gathered that “racism, poverty, and war” had combined to make matters worse for poor black and white alike. (Bettmann/Getty Images)

“This would undoubtedly exacerbate an already severe economic crisis in communities where there are large numbers of new immigrants,” Scott King continued:

Finally, we are concerned that some who support the repeal of employer sanctions are using “discrimination” as a guise for their desire to abuse undocumented workers and to introduce cheap labor into the U.S. workforce. America does not have a labor shortage. With roughly seven million people unemployed, and double that number discouraged from seeking work, the removal of employer sanctions threatens to add U.S. workers to the rolls of the unemployed. [Emphasis added]

Additionally, it would add to the competition for scarce jobs and drive down wages. Moreover, the repeal of employer sanctions will inevitably add to our social problems and place an unfair burden on the poor in the cities in which most new immigrants cluster — cities which are already suffering housing shortages and insufficient human needs services. [Emphasis added]

According to Scott King, fining U.S. employers for hiring illegal aliens over Americans is a “necessary means of stopping the exploitation of vulnerable workers and the undercutting of American jobs and living standards.”

Those who signed the letter with Scott King included William Lucy of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, Norman Hill with the A. Phillip Randolph Institute, and Dr. Ramona Edelin of the National Urban Coalition, among others.

Thanks in part to Scott King’s opposition, Hatch’s bill failed in the House and Senate.

U.S. Civil Rights Commission: Illegal Immigration Makes Black Americans Poorer

Mass immigration, and primarily illegal immigration, disproportionately makes black Americans poorer by reducing wages and crowding out the workforce, the United States Civil Rights Commission detailed in a briefing report from 2010.

The bombshell report, conducted in 2008 and published in 2010 by the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, interviewed several experts and researchers reviewing the impact of mass immigration on black American communities.

The report addressed “the consensus by panelists that there is a negative effect on wages of low-skill black workers and the range of the negative effects,” and found that the nation’s importation of tens of millions of illegal aliens and legal immigrants over decades has only exacerbated the problems of America’s poor and working class.

Annually, the federal government gives green cards to more than a million legal immigrants in addition to about 1.2 million foreign nationals who are given work visas to take American jobs. At the same time, there are an estimated 15.5 million illegal aliens in the U.S. today.

Black men, the report showed, are most negatively impacted by illegal immigration because they are “disproportionately employed in the low-skilled labor market, where they are more likely to be in labor competition with immigrants” with about 6 in 10 adult black men having a high school diploma or less.

The report states:

Illegal immigration to the United States in recent decades has tended to depress both wages and employment rates for low-skilled American citizens, a disproportionate number of whom are black men. Expert economic opinions concerning the negative effects range from modest to significant. Those panelists that found modest effects overall nonetheless found significant effects in industry sectors such as meatpacking and construction. [Emphasis added]

The report reflects recent data from the Brookings Institute which found that the wealth gap between black Americans and white Americans has continued to grow significantly since 1992. This growing wealth gap coincides with the inflow of tens of millions of illegal aliens and legal immigrants who inflate the labor market and are a boon to business and Wall Street.

“… from 1989 to 2022, the Black-white median wealth gap has averaged $172,000, and rarely dropped below 10% of this,” the Brookings Institute writes:

However, between 2019 and 2022, the gap breeched 10% of the average—signaling an increase in disparity not seen since 2007, when the gap reached $214,970. The growing disparity means that in 2022, for every $100 in wealth held by white households, Black households held only $15. [Emphasis added]

Brookings Institute

Vernon Briggs Jr., former professor emeritus of labor economics at Cornell University, told the Commission that “no issue has negatively ‘affected the economic well-being of African Americans more’ than immigration,” according to the report:

Dr. Briggs emphasized that the distinguishing characteristic of the illegal immigrant population is that 81 percent of them are probably in the low-skill sector of the job market; about 57 percent of them are without a high school diploma, and 24 percent have only a high school diploma. Since they often come from poor countries, he said, the quality of their education is likely poor, and they frequently lack English language skills. According to Dr. Briggs, the competition they pose for native youth and 43 million low-skilled U.S. workers causes the low-skilled labor market to suffer the highest unemployment levels of any measured segment. He further noted that the low skilled labor market is most vulnerable to economic hardship. During an economic downturn, higher skilled workers back up into the low skilled labor market, producing even more competition for low-skilled jobs. [Emphasis added]

U.S. employers prefer to hire illegal aliens over poorer native-born Americans, Georgetown University professor and economist Harry Holzer told the Commission, “because of a perceived superior work ethic and tolerance for low wages, and use ethnic networks to recruit.”

“Dr. Holzer … indicates that employers filling low-wage jobs that require little reading/writing or communication, clearly prefer immigrants to native-born blacks, and encourage informal networks through which immigrants gain better access to these jobs,” the report states.

Dr. Carol Swain, formerly a professor at Vanderbilt University, told the Commission that the federal government ought to create an independent commission dedicated to reforming the nation’s immigration levels designed to lift Americans out of poverty while imposing far higher costs on American employers who choose to hire illegal aliens.

The Commission, at the time of the report, recommended the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) collect data related to illegal aliens in the U.S. labor market and track the impact on working class wages and blue-collar American workers. While BLS collects data on the foreign-born workforce, the agency has yet to compile data on illegal aliens and their impact on American wages.

Adams on Taxes: We’re ‘Hemorrhaging’ ‘Working-Class People’ and Worried About Losing Tax Base

On Wednesday’s broadcast of WCNY’s “Capitol Pressroom,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) responded to a question on state tax policy by stating that “We’re seeing a hemorrhaging of, not only working-class people, but we’re concerned about losing that high tax base, because that tax base pays for our police officers, our teachers, our firefighters, keeps our streets clean.”

Host David Lombardo asked, [relevant exchange begins around 10:10] “Gov. Hochul (D) has repeatedly drawn a line in the sand on increasing taxes, and that’s something that came up again in her State of the State booklet. Is that the right decision, considering it will limit the state’s ability to send dollars to New York City at a time when serious cuts are on the table and you need aid from Albany?”

Adams responded, “Well, when you look at it, we are one of the highest-taxed states in the country outside of California, and you have to find the right balance. The last numbers that I checked, in New York City in general, 2% of New Yorkers pay 51% of our taxes. We’re seeing a hemorrhaging of, not only working-class people, but we’re concerned about losing that high tax base, because that tax base pays for our police officers, our teachers, our firefighters, keeps our streets clean. And so, she must find the right balance with the leaders in Albany of how do we come to an economic understanding without hurting our long‑term plan and our long‑term tax base? So, I respect her decision to make the right decision for New Yorkers.”

He added, “I’m sure that there are going to be those in Albany who [are] going to speak on raising income taxes, particularly for high-income earners. And I think this is the part of Albany where you sit down and come to a fair negotiation strategy to come up with a plan that everyone can live with.”

Immigration Policies Invite Robberies, Visa Fraud with Dangled Work Permits

Illegal migrants are staging robberies at their own illegal workplaces to get work permits and the life-changing bonanza of green cards and U.S. citizenship.

The latest example emerged in Massachusetts where prosecutors have arrested two Indian-born men who were hired to conduct fake robberies of Indian illegal workers at roughly 19 workplaces so the claimed victims could get U Visas and work permits from a federal program for crime victims.

“This is a common practice — mainly among Indians — to qualify for a U Visa,” said Jay Palmer, c0founder of The Forced Labor Project and a former immigration adviser to President Donald Trump’s administration.

Palmer works with many Indian migrants, and told Breitbart News:

They’ll hire someone to rob them at gunpoint — and even cause physical violence against them — with a witness. Sometimes the witness is a family member. Then family members — who are normally illegal too — will file [for a visa] claiming emotional distress or for a T Visa for [people who are] helping the police solve a crime.

Many want to be harmed, physically harmed, in order to get a hospital report. Many times, they’ll go to the emergency room where there is an Indian doctor there that relates to them. Sometimes the doctors are … coerced into overstating or exaggerating the injuries.

Once they apply for it, they can get biometrics [identity documents] and an Employment Authorization Document … [for] up to five years. They’re buying time to be legal to work in the United States while hoping and praying for some type of mass amnesty — and this comes straight from Indians — or some type of immigration reform that will make people who have been over here illegally or have overstayed their [temporary visa] welcome … to get some path to citizenship.

Even the application for a U Visa helps illegals evade deportation, Palmer said. “It’s like a parole [status] and if you get stopped [while driving] and you get questioned, you’ve got a case number and [when the cop] enters the case number into the databases it shows as ‘Case pending.'”

Many illegals also invent a story to explain why they are in the country, Palmer said:

The typical story goes like this: “I came over and my passports were stolen. I was scared to report the robbery because I was scared I would be immediately deported and I didn’t have all my information. So I stayed here and I got thrown into labor trafficking and I worked at so-and-so’s hotel, or I worked in a’ convenience store, then I was robbed at the convenience store. And I’m looking for a visa because I’ve been a victim twice.”

Migration fraud is commonplace because the potential payoff is huge for the illegals, their employers, and participating lawyers — but also because officials and local police have little incentive to fight the problem.

For example, successful fraud allows ambitious young men and women to leap from their impoverished and backward home countries into a wealthier life in the United States. The fraud also allows them to win citizenship for all of their future descendants, provide citizenship to many other people in their home countries, and skyrocket their social status in their home district.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is run by a pro-migration zealot, Alejandro Mayorkas. He has appointed like-minded advocates throughout the agencies, and since 2021, they have been using the U Visa program to sneak lucrative work permits to illegal migrants who claim to have been victims of crime. By September 30, more than 340,000 migrants had filed for U Visas even though only 10,000 U Visas are distributed each year.

Mayorkas also pushed the same pro-fraud policy when he was a top official in President Barack Obama’s DHS.

In January 2022, the Inspector General at the Department of Homeland Security reported that the DHS’ U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office showed little interest in countering the fraud:

First, USCIS did not fully address U visa program fraud risks. We identified 10 USCIS approved petitions with forged, unauthorized, altered or suspicious law enforcement certifications. USCIS also did not track outcomes of U visa program fraud referrals. As a result, individuals may be discouraged from reporting suspected fraud and USCIS may miss opportunities to address fraud risks in the program.

The newest example was revealed on December 29, when the Department of Justice announced that two “New York men” were paid to stage eight robberies so that the supposed workplace victims could win work permits and green cards from Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security:

According to the charging documents, starting in March 2023, [Rambhai] Patel [born 1987] and his co-conspirators, including at times [Balwinder] Singh [born 1984], set up and carried out staged armed robberies of at least eight convenience/liquor stores and fast food restaurants across the United States, including at least four in Massachusetts. It is alleged that the purpose of the staged robberies was to allow the clerks present to claim that they were victims of a violent crime on an application for U nonimmigration status (U Visa). A U Visa is available to victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and who have been helpful to law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity.

In the course of the alleged staged robberies, the “robber” would threaten store clerks and/or owners with an apparent firearm before taking cash from the register and fleeing, while the interaction was captured on store surveillance video. The clerks and/or owners would then wait five or more minutes until the “robber” had escaped before calling police to report the “crime.”  The “victims” are alleged to have each paid Patel to participate in the scheme. In turn, Patel allegedly paid the store owners for the use of their stores for the staged robbery.

The complaint notes, “Investigators have learned that this scheme is not unique. In at least two other jurisdictions, within the past few years, individuals have staged armed robberies, with the consent of the apparent victims, so that the “victims” could later apply for U-visas.”

The complaint says:

In early 2023, PATEL hired CW-1 to do construction at PATEL’s home in New York, which CW-1 did. Soon thereafter, PATEL told CW-1 that he had a job that would pay $1,500. PATEL explained to CW-1 that he would be going into stores to commit robberies and that the people inside the stores would be aware that they were going to be robbed. Furthermore, PATEL advised CW-1 that some of the people who acted as victims did not work at the store and traveled from out of state to take part in the staged robbery. CW-1 explained that those people posing as victims were doing so to “get papers” to allow them to stay in the country. PATEL told CW-1 that the victims would not call the police when CW-1 committed the robberies, but CW-1 later saw on the news that victims were in fact calling police after the robberies. At least initially, CW-1 had not expected the police to be called at all.

CW-1 said that each victim paid PATEL $10,000 to take part in the staged robberies for the purpose of receiving “papers.” PATEL knew the store owners and the store owners allowed their respective stores to be used for the staged robberies. CW-1 understood that the store owners were fully aware of the robberies. PATEL paid each owner $1,500 to $2,000 to use the store for a robbery.

CW-1 said that during most of the robberies, CW-1 communicated with PATEL via a Bluetooth headset. During the staged robberies, PATEL would be in contact with the target store’s owner or an employee who would notify PATEL when the store was empty. PATEL would in turn instruct CW-1 to go inside to “commit” the robbery.

Furthermore, investigators believe that PATEL had direct access to a store insider and/or the store’s video surveillance system to coordinate the timing of the prospective robbery.

Federal agents monitored text messages between the supposed robbers and the business owners in October 2023:

[Cooperating Witness] CW-1 to Patel: “When go tell me”

Patel to CW-I: “Ok.”

CW-1 to Patel: “No one inside how many people”

CW-1 to Patel: “Check that”

Patel to CW-1: “One old lady and 1 guy inside”

CW-1 to Patel: “Soon they leave tell me”

Patel to CW-1: “Lady leaving”

Patel to CW-1: “Ok”

Patel to CW-1: “Leaving soon both”

The criminal complaint provided a list of the confirmed robberies:

However, the complaint also noted that “there are an approximately 11 additional robberies, beyond those listed, under investigation as potentially being linked to the SUBJECT PERSONS and the scheme outlined herein. ”

If convicted on the fraud charges, the two current defendants can be jailed for up to five years and be fined up to $250,000.

The number of fraud cases is also rising because Biden is admitting many illegal migrants on temporary status who have the incentive and U.S. wages to organize citizenship fraud. For example, Mayorkas has admitted roughly 200,000 Indian migrants and 100,000 Chinese migrants since 2021. There is no official evidence that significant numbers of those migrants have been sent home.

Biden is also admitting many legal migrants who then import illegal migrants to work for low wages at their businesses. For example. this illegal hiring is common among foreign managers who are imported with low-cost E-2 visas to run franchised hotelsrestaurants, gas stations, and corner stores.

The result is a rapid growth of Indian illegal migrants throughout the United States. The population is expected to soon reach 1 million as Indian smugglers send more migrants along semi-legal “donkey routes” to the United States, Europe, and Australia. The population flow is so large that Bollywood is making movies about the movement:

The migration has created a growing number of foreign-run business islands inside the United States, said Palmer. The islands are growing because the foreign firms cooperate with each other, often ignore laws, and share cheap foreign employees under foreign workplace practices, such as a reliance on tax avoidance and foreign banking systems, he said.

The U Visa fraud occurs within these Indian economic islands, said Palmer. “A lot of these people are convenience store owners and hospitality and hotel owners who’ve come over on [temporary] F-1 [student] visas or B-1 [visitor visas] and overstayed their welcome,” he said. “It is widespread.”

Lawyers for the supposed victims in seven of the eight robberies filed paperwork for green cards, the charging document notes, saying “the PATEL PHONE was in contact with a telephone number that record checks indicated was associated with that attorney.”

Many of the foreign migrants are being used or imported to operate foreign-owned criminal enterprises, such as marijuana farms and telephone scams.

These expanding foreign economic islands overcome nearby law-abiding American companies who are disadvantaged by their compliance with tax laws and federal safety, health, and employment regulations, he said.

The economic islands also exile U.S. workers and American managers, partly because each of the foreign firms cannot survive an American whistleblower.

The government-supported migrant inflow is so unpopular among ordinary Americans that half of the public regards it as an “invasion” that burdens and threatens Americans and their society.

  • Rep. Mark Green: DHS Chief Mayorkas Has Imported 5 Million Illegal Aliens — Outpacing Annual U.S. Births

    Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has brought five million illegal aliens to the United States in three years, a foreign population that outpaces the nation’s annual births, Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) says.

    Green, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, opened impeachment hearings against Mayorkas on Wednesday. In his opening statements, Green detailed Mayorkas’s expansive Catch and Release network, in which the DHS briefly processes a reported 85 percent of illegal aliens before releasing them into American communities.

    “Multiple sources confirmed Secretary Mayorkas admitted that release rates of illegal aliens are currently around 85 percent,” Green said:

    All told, DHS numbers indicate that well over three million inadmissible aliens have been released into our country on Secretary Mayorkas’s watch. Factor in the 1.8 million known gotaways, and that’s roughly the population of the state of South Carolina. [Emphasis added]

    The figure suggests that Mayorkas has released more illegal aliens into American communities from 2021 through 2023 than the number of babies born annually in the U.S., which is fewer than four million.

    The majority of these illegal aliens, released via parole, will end up securing work permits to hold American jobs — a boon for big business, Wall Street, and real estate investors looking to keep wages low by inflating the labor market, add as many residents to the population to drive up housing demand, and increase the supply of consumers to whom they can sell products.

    Green also noted that the rate at which the DHS never detains illegal aliens at the southern border has skyrocketed under Mayorkas compared to former President Barack Obama’s leadership:

    In Fiscal Year 2013, according to [the] DHS’s own numbers, the Obama administration detained 82 percent of illegal aliens from the moment they were encountered until their case was decided, and another nine percent were held for at least some portion of that time.

    In Secretary Mayorkas’ first year on the job, that 82 percent number dropped to just ten percent. Illegal aliens not detained at all jumped from nine percent in FY 2013 to 64 percent in FY 2021. In a court opinion earlier this year, federal judge Kent Wetherell wrote, ‘The evidence establishes that in late January or early February of 2021, [the] DHS made a discrete change in detention policy from release only if there is a compelling reason to, to release unless there is a compelling reason not to.” [Emphasis added]

    On Monday, Mayorkas visited the U.S.-Mexico border, where he called on Congress to approve President Joe Biden’s billions of dollars in supplemental funding to bus and fly more border crossers and illegal aliens into the nation’s interior.

    “Some have accused [the] DHS of not enforcing our nation’s laws. This could not be further from the truth,” Mayorkas said.

  • Clyburn: Hunter Hearings Might Teach People ‘How We Ought to Conduct Ourselves’ when Faced with Challenges

    On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” Biden 2024 Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that maybe as a result of the Hunter Biden hearings “we will all learn a little more about how we ought to conduct ourselves when we are faced with these kinds of challenges. That’s what being a public servant is all about, that’s what the President of the United States is all about, is showing the country how we should act and react in time[s] of crises.”

    Clyburn said, “Look, President Biden is more than a President, he’s a father. Dr. Jill made it very clear that she is very concerned about how they are treating their son. This is an issue that we ought to pay close attention to, because if you are the party of family values, you ought to value family. They are not valuing family. They need to stop this foolishness. We have two committees, let them pursue their work, but this grandstanding, going into secret so you can come out and interpret your views for the American people. Why not have the hearing in [the] open? Let the public look in. Maybe we will all learn a little more about how we ought to conduct ourselves when we are faced with these kinds of challenges. That’s what being a public servant is all about, that’s what the President of the United States is all about, is showing the country how we should act and react in time[s] of crises. And there’s nothing more personal than to have a family crisis like they had with the addiction of their son and how he worked to overcome that addiction. We ought not be piling on — or if he’s broken the law, then we have a process for that. We should not have these open forays into people’s private lives, showing pictures of them in vulnerable situations. That is not the way you demonstrate leadership in these United States of America. I am so disappointed that the leadership of that committee is allowing this to happen.”

    I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to undeclared nuclear war.                     TULSI GABBARD


     Here is the problem in a nutshell.  Most Democrat voters don't realize that leftist idealogues have hijacked the Democrat party, actively pushing traditional Democrat politicians out.  They don't yet understand that the Democrat party they knew doesn't exist anymore.  Almost all of the major news organizations work together to lie to Democrat voters and feed them misinformation constantly.  Corrupted government entities like the FBI and the DOJ, and the leftists running all social media, have worked together to censor and silence any dissenting voices.  The goal is to create a false reality in the eyes of Democrat voters and shield them from the truth.  This is vital to ensure their continued support on Election Day.

    Joe Biden to Republicans: Stop ‘Weaponizing’ My Open Border

    WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 19: U.S. President Joe Biden speaks during an event with bipartisan mayors attending the U.S. Conference of Mayors Winter Meeting, in the East Room of the White House January 19, 2024 in Washington, DC. More than 300 U.S. mayors are in Washington, DC for the U.S. …

    President Joe Biden is urging Republicans to stop “weaponizing” his decision to allow several million economic migrants to cross the southern border, which he emphasized at a meeting of mayors at the White House on Friday.

    “Next week, we’re gonna be able to work out something, at least in the Senate, and I’m hopeful it is going to be the bipartisan package the Senate is going to pass,” he told the attendees, adding, “Now the question is for the [House] Speaker and House Republicans: Are they ready to act as well? They have to choose whether they want to solve a problem or keep weaponizing issues to score political points against the president.”

    During the last three years, Biden and his deputies have admitted roughly five million illegal immigrants, alongside about three million legal immigrants. His flood of migrants — approximately one illegal migrant for every two American births — has suppressed Americans’ wages and spiked their housing costs:

    So Biden’s massive inflow has created a massive problem for his 2024 reelection campaign. For example, two polls show that more than half of Americans say his inflow can be described as an invasion. In January, a 37 percent plurality recently told CBS that migration makes the country “worse off:”

    So far, there is no evidence that Biden’s deputies want to stop the illegal labor migration. For example, media reports say Biden’s deputies are refusing to curb their inflow of migrants through the emergency “parole” doorway in the border. Also, leaks last week suggested the deal will give legal approval to much additional migration above the current limits on legal immigration.

    But Biden told the mayors that he wants to “solve the problem,” saying:

    I want to talk about another top issue: The border. I love how [when my TV is] turned on and [I see that] “Biden is for free and open border, tear down [the wall], everybody come, no restrictions.” It used to be a bipartisan issue in this country. It should be one again.

    I’ve been clear from the very beginning: The [immigration] system is broken. My first day in office, I sent Congress a comprehensive plan on immigration reform [and amnesty]. My friends on the other side have done nothing with it. Over and over, I’ve asked for resources to step up action with the border. In October, I asked Congress for funding that would add … 22,000 additional border agents and officers, hundreds of new immigration judges to make the judgments on the spot, new detection equipment to stop fentanyl from coming into the country. And, by the way, I’ve worked with China and Mexico to slow the flow of fentanyl in the United States. As I speak, it is on its way down.

    So let me be clear. My team has been at the table for weeks now with a bipartisan group of senators to negotiate a deal including border because I believe we need significant policy changes, including changes in our asylum system to ensure that we have the [legal] authorities we need to control the border, and I’m ready to act … I think next week we’re gonna be able to work out something, at least in the Senate, and I’m hopeful it is going to be the bipartisan package the Senate is going to pass, God willing.

    Now the question is for the [House] Speaker and House Republicans: Are they ready to act as well? They have to choose whether they want to solve a problem or keep weaponizing issues to score political points against the president.

    I’m ready to solve the problem. I really am. Massive changes. I mean it sincerely.

    Many other Democrats have begun declaring their determination to fix migration. Politico reported on January 17:

    More than a dozen House Democrats joined with the chamber’s Republicans in backing a resolution slamming the Biden administration for its handling of the southern border in a floor vote Wednesday.

    The non-binding resolution, which passed 225-187, “denounces the Biden administration’s open-borders policies” and “condemns the national security and public safety crisis” it says results from them. It was sponsored by Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-Texas).

    The GOP’s Senate leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell, is also pushing for an immigration vote next week, even though the senators have not revealed their deal to the public.

    “We’ve been talking about this for a very long time; it’s time to try to act,” McConnell told reporters on Wednesday. The problem, he said, “is not going to get better, in my opinion, until you actually say, ‘We’re going to it next week.'”

    Breaking Biden’ Author: ‘Biden Crime Family’ Would Be in ‘Handcuffs’ if U.S. Had a ‘Responsible Department of Justice’

    Breitbart Editor-in-Chief and New York Times bestselling Breaking Biden author Alex Marlow told YouTuber Stephen Gardner the Bidens would be in “handcuffs” if the United States “had a responsible Department of Justice.”

    Big media and Big Tech colluded to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.  A poll showed that nearly four of five Americans believe that “truthful” coverage would have changed the outcome of that election.

    Biden’s DOJ Confirms Hunter Biden’s Laptop Is Real

    The Justice Department (DOJ) confirmed in a Tuesday court filing Hunter Biden’s laptop is real, a suppressed fact that could have altered the 2020 presidential election.

    Seventy-one percent of Americans believe accurate reporting of Hunter’s “Laptop from Hell” could have altered the 2020 presidential election, according to polling.

    The DOJ confirmed the laptop was Hunter’s by determining that he left it at a computer store and that the contents matched what authorities obtained via a search warrant of Hunter’s iCloud.

    “Investigators also later came into possession of the defendant’s Apple MacBook Pro, which he had left at the computer store,” prosecutors wrote:

    A search warrant was also obtained for his laptop and the result of the search warrant were largely duplicative information also obtained for his laptop and the result of the search were largely duplicative of information investigators had already obtained from Apple.

    Shortly after the New York Post broke the laptop story, CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand wrote the infamous and now discredited Politico story that used “dozens of former intel officials” to push a false and misleading narrative about the origins of Hunter’s laptop.

    It took the establishment media over a year to admit the story was false. Hunter’s laptop holds “authentic communications that can be verified,” the Washington Post admitted after not pursuing the story for 532 days.

    CNN also finally admitted Hunter’s “laptop from hell” was authentic after the initial story broke on October 24, 2020 — notably calling it “Russian disinformation” and “made up” at the time.

    After nearly two years, the New York Times reported the emails from Hunter’s laptop were his, Breitbart News reported.

    Fifteen media personalities also claimed Hunter’s laptop emails were likely Russian propaganda. Perhaps most famously, CBS News reporter Lesley Stahl falsely told President Donald Trump in 2020 that Hunter’s “laptop from hell” could not be verified.

    President Joe Biden and his press secretary also gave inaccurate statements about the laptop’s origin:

    • Joe Biden: “Overwhelming evidence from the intelligence community” suggests it was Russian disinformation.
    • Joe Biden: Hunter’s laptop were just “a smear campaign” and “a bunch of garbage.”
    • Jen Psaki: The laptop was a part of “broad range of Russian disinformation.”

    The Biden Clan’s Con is Coming to an End

    Perhaps we will finally learn the full story of the most corrupt presidential family in American history.

    August 30, 2023 by Victor Davis Hanson

    Newsletter

     

     

    Despite years of Biden family and media disinformation, we are finally learning that President Joe Biden really did fire Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin for looking into state corruption involving the oil company Burisma and Hunter Biden — and ultimately Joe Biden himself.

    As vice president, Biden, in his own words, bragged that he had threatened to cancel the deliverance of American foreign aid to Ukraine unless Shokin was dismissed.

    So what is Congress to do now — un-impeach and exonerate an innocent impeached Donald Trump, and instead impeach a guilty Biden for essentially the same allegations?

    After all, the Left redefined the impeachment bar in 2019 as leveraging foreign aid to Ukraine to benefit one’s political career.

    And that is exactly what Joe Biden did to ensure his son could continue to raise millions for the Biden family with foreign governments, while being shielded from political consequences.

    An impeached Trump also was accused of using the power of government to go after his likely 2020 presidential rival by suggesting that Joe Biden and his family were corrupt, and should be investigated by Ukrainian officials for fraud and bribery.

    Despite Joe Biden’s denials, Trump was right: there was plenty of evidence to link Ukrainian unwarranted payoffs going into Biden family coffers.

    So Trump in 2019 had good reasons to ensure that none of the Bidens were still burrowed deeply into the Ukrainian payoff machine.

    In contrast, Biden had far less grounds to unleash the full powers of government against his probable 2024 rival ex-president Trump.

    Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is not charging Trump with bribery of the Biden sort. He does not allege that Trump gave special foreign policy preferences for those foreigners who paid his family for such services.

    Instead, Smith argues that Trump unlawfully took out classified presidential papers –although Joe Biden did nearly the same.

    Biden kept quiet about his vast removal of classified documents for over a decade. Not until Trump was being investigated did Biden suddenly notify the government of his illegal removals.

    In contrast, a combative and boisterous Trump fought openly and constantly with federal archivists over which of his papers at his Mar-a-Lago estate were truly classified.

    DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF BILLIONAIRES FOR OPEN BORDERS, BANKSTERS FOR BOTTOMLESS BAILOUTS, AND PARASITE LAWYERS ON THE TAKE.

    THERE IS NO GREATER DANGER TO AMERICA THAN LAWYER JOE BIDEN, A SOCIOPATH BRIBES SUCKER AND TRAITOR.

    Hunter Biden Stiffed His Art Dealer: ‘Still Bitter About a Lot of That Stuff’82

    Hunter Biden stiffed his art dealer, Georges Bergès, for swanky art exhibitions, Bergès told House Oversight and Judiciary committees last week, according to a transcript reviewed by Breitbart News.

    Hunter Biden’s failure to pay his bills was one reason Bergès dropped him as a client, he told the committees. “It was a little bit more than I could chew … So I haven’t agreed to renew that contract now,” he testified.

    U.S. House of Representatives

    Hunter Biden has a history of stiffing those he owes. He previously refused to pay for housing, car payments, and legal fees, totaling $4.9 million, the Los Angeles Times reported.

    “I paid for them [art shows],” Bergès replied when asked about who paid for the art exhibits. “I’m still bitter about a lot of that stuff.”

    “I took a gamble and it didn’t really pay off, but so that’s one of the reasons I haven’t really renewed the contract,” he added. “I had to do all the framing. I had to do all the shipping. I had to expedite it.”

    Hunter Biden knew the identities of 70 percent of his “anonymous” art buyers, Bergès said, contradicting the White House’s claim that the president’s son was “not involved in the sale or discussions about the sale of his art,” and that he would not be “informed” of “who is purchasing his art.”

    Hunter Biden’s art sales worry Republicans due to the often-nefarious nature of the art world:

    • Money laundering is a major issue in the industry, according to a 2020 Senate report.
    • Some Republicans believe the Biden family business laundered money.

    At least three people bought Hunter Biden’s work: Kevin Morris, Hunter’s lawyer; a democrat donor and Biden administration appointee; and Bergès’ gallery co-owner William Jacques. Bergès’ deal with Hunter Biden entitled him to a 40 percent commission from the sales. The commission suggests Hunter received $900,000 for his novice art paintings.

    Despite failing to pay his bills and the limited art sales, Hunter Biden wanted Bergès to keep working with him. “I mean, we’ve discussed extending it. At the moment I opted not to,” he told investigators. “I’m trying to sell hi[s] art to multiple people, not just one,” he said. “I haven’t renewed the contract because I have to look at the totality of the sales.”

    Representing Hunter Biden “hasn’t been the best decision for me,” Bergès continued. “I never expected the whole security issue or the death threats and people assuming political affiliation, which was completely wrong.”

    Bergès is a controversial character. In 2016, an investor in Bergès’ gallery sued him for fraud and breach of contract. Before filing for personal bankruptcy in 1998, authorities arrested Bergès in California and “charged with assault with a deadly weapon and ‘terrorist threats,'” public records from the Santa Cruz Police Department show.

    Bergès shady history also includes business in China. Bergès bragged in 2015 about his plans to be the “lead” art dealer in China, where the Biden family business and Kevin Morris maintain business ties. “I plan to find and discover and bring to the rest of the world those I consider China’s next generation of modern artists,” he said.
