America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections

N.A.F.T.A. JOE BIDEN - FOLKS, WE'VE BEEN BUSY VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION TO BUILD OUR PARTY BASE OF DEM VOTING ILLEGALS AND TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED - IS IT WORKING?
Corporate and government “addiction” to migration is damaging the productivity that raises personal incomes and overall national wealth, say economists cited in a report Monday by the Wall Street Journal.
“Increased reliance on low-skilled imported labor can lead to weaker productivity growth, which ultimately determines how fast economies can expand,” the newspaper wrote on March 4.
The article cited two dairy farmers in Wisconsin. One farmer favors cheap labor supplied by the government’s unofficial illegal migrant program. The second farmer, however, invested in robot cow-milking devices:
Onan Whitcomb … spent $800,000 on four Dutch-made milking robots. Milk production per cow has grown by 30% and the incidence of mastitis, an inflammatory disease, has declined by 80%, he says, meaning less spent on antibiotics. Whitcomb says he was able to cut 2.5 jobs, and the investment paid for itself in seven years.
“We were milking 300 cows and we went to 240, and we still made more” milk, Whitcomb said. “That’s hard to beat.”
Many dairies pay illegal migrant workers very little and require them to live in bad conditions.
The New York Timesnoted in November that a shortage of migrants forced local employers to raise their employees’ productivity with the help of additional training, planning, and machinery:
[Central Vermont Medical Center] has teamed up with two local colleges on a program enabling hospital employees to train as nurses while working full time … Lake Champlain Chocolates, a high-end chocolate maker outside Burlington, has revamped its production schedule to reduce its reliance on seasonal help … New equipment [at Cabot Creamery] will package cheese slices automatically.
Just north of Vermont, Canada has been bringing in so many lower-skilled workers that it is lowering the country’s productivity overall, Mikal Skuterud, an economist at Waterloo University in Ontario, told the Wall Street Journal newspaper. The result is that per-person output has fallen since 2018, Skuterud added.
If the Canadian government wants to raise productivity, it should accept labor shortages, Beata Caranci, the Chief Economist at Canada’s TD Bank Group, said at a December 2023 event held by Canada’s top bank economists. “We took what we thought is a good thing [high immigration] and thought, “Well, if it’s a good thing, then more is a better thing, and now we’re realizing, no, that’s not the case.”
The Wall Street Journal article cited data from the OECD to show that agriculture productivity is growing in low-migration countries but is flat in high-migration countries where farmers prefer hire-and-fire cheap labor over a sustained investment in high-tech gear.
The Wall Street Journal article is headlined: “Rich Countries Are Becoming Addicted to Cheap Labor: Businesses are relying more on migrant workers as labor shortages persist, but economists warn of long-term dangers.”
The article is backed up by a February 7 report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, which provides economic analysis to legislators. The office said President Joe Biden’s migration and labor bubble will reduce productivity gains to just 1.2 percent from 2024 to 2028 — far below the rate seen in the 1960s.
The report explained how migration skews the economy:
Increased net immigration is projected to affect average real wages through several channels. First, additional foreign nationals are expected to work in sectors of the economy that pay relatively low wages, thus putting downward pressure on average wages. Second, the projected increase in workers reduces the amount of capital (factories and machinery) per worker, which also puts downward pressure on [productivity and] average real wages … By 2034, CBO estimates, the three effects combined will cause average real wages to be slightly lower than they would have been otherwise.
“The injection of more labor into the economy—without a commensurate increase in capital—also tends to reduce the average worker’s productivity,” said a February 15 article in the Wall Street Journal.
“Think about it like this: Five accountants with five computers should each get more work done than six accountants with five computers.” Skilled white-collar migration, the CBO report notes, can raise productivity. But very few of Biden’s roughly 7 million illegal migrants are deemed to be skilled enough to raise productivity, even when they work diligently.
However, the Wall Street Journal ignores two other huge reasons why many governments favor migration: It pleases real-estate investors by spiking housing values, and it pleases retail investors by importing millions of additional consumers.
The investors’ extra revenues from housing and consumer goods is also inflated by government spending programs. The spending is borrowed, so it creates profit for today’s investors by imposing a huge debt on the children who will pay future taxes.

For example, a recent report showed that the federal government helped almost 3 million migrants from 2005 to 2020 by spending $739 billion in aid programs. The deficit spending went to various businesses during the past 15 years — but must be paid off by younger taxpayers during the next 20 years.
The Wall Street Journalarticle also ignored how pro-migration laws create ideological and careerist demands for more enforced diversification of the nation’s pro-democracy, pro-innovation, pro-equality civic rules.
“We are welcoming [to migrants which is] a national characteristic rooted in our founders’ search for freedom from persecution and tyranny,” claimed a February article by Sasha Chanoff, the owner of an organization that helps employers move migrants into the United States. “We bolster the economy in vital ways … [and] hold up a moral torch for the world to follow.”
Extraction Migration
Since at least 1990, the federal government has relied on Extraction Migration to grow the economy after allowing investors to move the high-wage manufacturing sector to lower-wage countries.
It would be better if we heard more about the quality of life for Americans under the current Democrat administration. By any yardstick, it is not only worse; it is far worse. Why would any American who thinks without prejudice want more corruption, more crime, more terrorism, less safety in the air and anywhere on the ground? VICTORIA WHITE BERGER
Joe Biden Uses ‘Secretive Flights’ to Import 320,000 Illegal Aliens to U.S.

President Joe Biden is operating a “secretive flights” program to fly hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to the United States every year, according to records obtained by Todd Bensman at the Center for Immigration Studies.
The records, obtained by Bensman via a Freedom of Information (FOIA) lawsuit, show that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) imported 320,000 illegal aliens to the United States last year through the little-known flight component of Biden’s “CBP One” mobile app.
The migrant mobile app, Breitbart News has extensively reported, has allowed about 465,000 illegal aliens to schedule appointments at the United States-Mexico border for release into the United States interior from January 2023 through January 2024.
The app’s flight component has flown additional hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens into 43 American airports last year alone, Bensman reveals. DHS officials have refused to say which airports are being used to fly illegal aliens to the United States, admitting that revealing such information poses “operational vulnerabilities” because “bad actors” would attempt to exploit the program.
Bensman reports:
In short, theBiden administration’s legally dubious program to fly inadmissible aliens over the border and directly to U.S. airports has allegedly created law enforcement vulnerabilities too grave to release publicly, lest “bad actors” take advantage of them to inflict harm on public safety. [Emphasis added]
Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Tom McClintock (R-CA) have asked DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to release publicly a full numerical accounting of every illegal alien released by the agency into the United States interior since February 2021.
Mayorkas, though, has refused to answer the request.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that from January 2021 through December 2023, Biden’s DHS welcomed 6.2 million illegal aliens to the United States — a foreign population that is nearly twice the annual American birth rate.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has vowed to fight voter ID laws, which he characterized as a plot to “disadvantage minorities.”
Appearing alongside Vice President Kamala Harris in Selma, Alabama, on Sunday, Garland called voter ID laws and other voter integrity laws “discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary.” The two were speaking at an event commemorating the fifty-ninth anniversary of the Bloody Sunday attacks on civil rights marchers in Selma.
Garland recalled the history of voting rights for black Americans since the end of slavery, which he said has “never been steady” into the present day, charging that voter ID laws have made it harder “for millions of eligible voters to vote and to elect the representatives of their choice.”
Garland said at Selma’s Tabernacle Baptist Church:
Those measures include practices and procedures that make voting more difficult; redistricting maps that disadvantage minorities; and changes in voting administration that diminish the authority of locally elected or nonpartisan election administrators.
“Such measures threaten the foundation of our system of government,” he added.
Garland said that he has increased the number of lawyers working in the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division, referring to voter integrity laws as “discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary restrictions on access to the ballot, including those related to mail-in voting, the use of drop boxes, and voter ID requirements.”
“That is why we are working to block the adoption of discriminatory redistricting plans that dilute the vote of black voters and other voters of color,” he said.
Polling shows that a majority of Americans support voter ID laws of some kind, including 60 percent of Democrats.
“A new poll, set to be released Wednesday by Rasmussen Reports, indicates that 75 percent of Americans support voter ID laws that require voters to show photo identification before voting — including 60 percent of Democrats,” Breitbart News reported in 2021. “Only 21 percent oppose such laws.”
