Even in the unlikely case that all migration from outside the European Union suddenly and permanently ended, the new research on Europe’s rapidly shifting demographics found that by 2050 the Muslim population of the continent would hit 7.4 per cent, up from 4.9 per cent in 2016.
Immigration trends have generally shown a propensity to be at, or even beyond, the ‘high’ projections established by migration observatories in the past, with cities like London becoming minority white British faster than thought. So-called ‘white flight’, as well as higher than anticipated levels of migration to Western European nations have contributed to these trends.
Pew reports some nations will display this trend of change more clearly than others, with Sweden expected to have the highest levels of Muslim settlement by 2050, at a projected 30.6 per cent. Sweden will be followed by fellow high migration nations Austria, Germany, and France, at between 18 and 19.9 per cent Muslim population.
The United Kingdom follows closely behind in projected growth, with a projected 17.2 per cent of residents in 2050 under the high projection predicted to be of the Muslim faith.
While Pew reports that mass migration will continue to be the main driver of these changes, that even the zero migration model shows continued growth reveals that other factors are at work. High birthrates among Muslim communities is one cause, as is the projected 160,000 European residents who will convert to Islam.
The growth is not universal, however, with some — predominantly Eastern European — nations avoiding a significant rise. Even under the high growth model, Poland’s Muslim population is only projected to hit 0.2 per cent by 2050.

ZOGBY INTERNATIONAL POLL - 2002 MAJORITY OF MEXICAN POPULATION BELIEVES THE
SOUTHWEST TERRITORY OF THE U.S. RIGHTFULLY BELONGS TO MEXICO! Americans and
Mexicans have widely divergent views of border issues, according to a new poll
by Zogby International.
Zogby found that a large majority of the Mexican population believes the
southwest territory of the U.S. rightfully belongs to Mexico, and that Mexicans
should have the right to enter the U.S. without first obtaining U.S.
permission. By contrast, Zogby's survey of Americans conducted within a few
days of the Mexican poll shows a large majority supports reducing immigration
levels and wants the military deployed along the border to protect the U.S.
from illegal immigration. Zogby's poll found that 58 percent of Mexicans agree
with the statement, "the territory of the United States' Southwest
rightfully belongs to Mexico." Only 28 percent disagree, and 14 percent
are unsure. A similar majority, 57 percent, agree with the statement,
"Mexicans should have the right to enter the U.S. without U.S.
permission," while 35 percent disagree. Seven percent are unsure. The
survey has a margin of error of 3.5 percent. The Mexico portion of the survey
was conducted in Spanish between May 25 and May 26 among 801 adults chosen at
random throughout Mexico. The poll was commissioned by Americans for
Immigration Control, Inc. (AIC), which advocates increased restrictions on
immigration. "There is obviously a large and significant gap between the
attitudes of Americans and Mexicans," said Robert Goldsborough, AIC
president. "While most Americans want immigration reduced, most Mexicans
think they don't even need permission to enter our country. The poll clearly
shows there is less common ground for immigration negotiations between Mexico
and the U.S. than the leaders think. Support for a porous border and a loose
migration policy occurs only on the Mexican side, not in the U.S." Zogby's
survey of American attitudes found wide majorities of Americans also oppose
amnesty for illegal aliens. The U.S. portion of the survey was conducted of
1,015 likely voters in the U.S. from May 28 to May 30. It found that 65 percent
disagree with the statement, "foreigners residing illegally in the U.S.
should be given amnesty." Just 26 percent of likely voters support amnesty
for illegals, while 9 percent are unsure. A large majority, 58 percent, agree
that the U.S. should "admit fewer immigrants each year." Only 6
percent want "more immigrants each year," and 30 percent want to
"keep immigration at the current annual levels." The single largest
majority in the entire poll was found among Americans supporting use of the
military to guard the border. Fully 68 percent of those surveyed agree with the
statement, "the U.S. should deploy military troops on the border as a
temporary measure to help the U.S. Border Patrol curb illegal
immigration." Only 28 percent disagree, and 3 percent are unsure.

"The amnesty alone will be the largest expansion of the welfare system
in the last 25 years," says Robert Rector, a senior analyst at the
Heritage Foundation, and a witness at a House Judiciary Committee field hearing
in San Diego Aug. 2. "Welfare costs will begin to hit their peak around
2021, because there are delays in citizenship. The very narrow time horizon
[the CBO is] using is misleading," he adds. "If even a small fraction

MULTICULTURALISM,
IMMIGRATION AND AZTLAN
By Maria Hsia Chang Professor of
Political Science, University of Nevada Reno
One
of the standard arguments invoked by those in favor of massive immigration into
the United States is that our country is founded on immigrants who have always
been successfully assimilated into America's mainstream culture and society. As
one commentator put it, "Assimilation evokes the misty past of Ellis
Island, through which millions entered, eventually seeing their descendants
become as American as George Washington."1 Nothing more vividly testifies
against that romantic faith in America's ability to continuously assimilate new
members than the events of October 16, 1994 in Los Angeles. On that day, 70,000
people marched beneath "a sea of Mexican flags" protesting Proposition
187, a referendum measure that would deny many state benefits to illegal
immigrants and their children. Two weeks later, more protestors marched down
the street, this time carrying an American flag upside down. Both protests point to a disturbing and rising phenomenon of Chicano
separatism in the United States — the product of a complex of forces, among
which are multiculturalism and a generous immigration policy combined with a
lax border control. The Problem Chicanos refer to "people of Mexican
descent in the United States" or "Mexican Americans in general." Today, there are reasons to believe
that Chicanos as a group are unlike previous immigrants in that they are more
likely to remain unassimilated and unintegrated, whether by choice or
circumstance — resulting in the formation of a separate quasi-nation within the
United States. More than that, there are Chicano political activists who intend
to marry cultural separateness with territorial and political
self-determination. The more moderate among them aspire to the cultural and
political autonomy of "home rule". The radicals seek nothing less than secession from the United States
whether to form their own sovereign state or to reunify with Mexico. Those who
desire reunification with Mexico are irredentists who seek to reclaim Mexico's
"lost" territories in the American Southwest.
Whatever
their goals, what animates all of them is the dream of Aztlan. According to
legend, Aztlan was the ancestral homeland of the Aztecs which they left in
journeying southward to found Tenochtitlan, the center of their new
civilization, which is today's Mexico City. Today, the "Nation of
Aztlan" refers to the American southwestern states of California, Arizona,
Texas, New Mexico, portions of Nevada, Utah, Colorado, which Chicano
nationalists claim were stolen by the United States and must be reconquered
(Reconquista) and reclaimed for Mexico. The myth of Aztlan was revived by
Chicano political activists in the 1960s as a central symbol of Chicano
nationalist ideology. In 1969, at the Chicano National Liberation Youth
Conference in Denver, Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales put forth a political
document entitled El Plan de Aztlan (Spiritual Plan of Aztlan). The Plan is a
clarion call to Mexican-Americans to form a separate Chicano nation: In the
spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historial
heritage, but also of the brutal "gringo" invasion of our
territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the nothern land of
Aztlan from whence came our forefathers ...declare that the call of our blood
is...our inevitable destiny.... Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds,
water the fields, and gather the crops, and not to the foreign Europeans. We do
not recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze continent.... Brotherhood
unites us, and love for our brothers makes us a people whose time has come ....
With our heart in our hands and our hands in the soil, we declare the
independence of our mestizo nation. We are a bronze people with a bronze
culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers
in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we
are Aztlan.
How
Chicanos are Unlike Previous Immigrants Brent A. Nelson, writing in 1994,
observed that in the 1980s America's Southwest had begun to be transformed into
"a de facto nation" with its own culture, history, myth, geography,
religion, education, and language. Whatever evidence there is indicates that
Chicanos, as a group, are unlike previous waves of immigrants into the United
States. In the first place, many Chicanos do not consider themselves immigrants
at all because their people "have been here for 450 years" before the
English, French, or Dutch. Before California and the Southwest were seized by the
United States, they were the lands of Spain and Mexico. As late as 1780 the
Spanish crown laid claim to territories from Florida to California, and on the
far side of the Mississippi up to the Great Lakes and the Rockies. Mexico held
title to much of Spanish possessions in the United States until the Treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the Mexican-American war in 1848. As a consequence,
Mexicans "never accepted the borders drawn up by the 1848 treaty."
That
history has created among Chicanos a feeling of resentment for being "a
conquered people," made part of the United States against their will and
by the force of arms. Their resentment is amply expressed by Voz Fronteriza, a
Chicano student publication, which referred to Border Patrol officers killed in
the line of duty as "pigs (migra)" trying to defend "the false
frontier."
Chicanos
are also distinct from other immigrant groups because of the geographic
proximity of their native country. Their physical proximity to Mexico gives
Chicanos "the option of life in both Americas, in two places and in two
cultures, something earlier immigrants never had." Geographic proximity
and ease of transportation are augmented by the media. Radio and television
keep the spoken language alive and current so that Spanish, unlike the native
languages of previous immigrants into the United States, "shows no sign of
fading."
A
result of all that is the failure by Chicanos to be fully assimilated into the
larger American society and culture. As Earl Shorris, author
of Latinos: A Biography of the People, observed: "Latinos have been more
resistant to the melting pot than any other group. Their entry en masse into
the United States will test the limits of the American experiment...." The continuous influx of Mexican
immigrants into the United States serve to continuously renew Chicano culture
so that their sense of separateness will probably continue "far into the
future...." There are other reasons for the failure of Chicano
assimilation. Historically, a powerful force for assimilation was upward social
mobility: Immigrants into the United States became assimilated as they rose in
educational achievement and income. But today's post-industrial American
economy, with its narrower paths to upward mobility, is making it more difficult
for certain groups to improve their socioeconomic circumstances. Unionized
factory jobs, which once provided a step up for the second generation of past
waves of immigrants, have been disappearing for decades. Instead of the
diamond-shaped economy of industrial America, the modern American economy is
shaped like an hourglass. There is a good number of jobs for unskilled people
at the bottom, a fair number of jobs for the highly educated at the top, but
comparatively few jobs for those in the middle without a college education or
special skills. To illustrate, a RAND Corporation study forecasts that 85
percent of California's new jobs will require post-secondary education. For a
variety of reasons, the nationwide high-school dropout rate for Hispanics (the
majority of whom are Chicano) is 30 percent — three times the rate for whites
and twice the rate for blacks. Paradoxically, the dropout rate for Hispanics
born in the United States is even higher than for young immigrants. Among
Chicanos, high-school dropout rates actually rise between the second and third
generations. Their low educational achievement accounts for why Chicanos as a
group are poor despite being hardworking. In 1996, for the first time, Hispanic
poverty rate began to exceed that of American blacks. In 1995, household income
rose for every ethnic group except Hispanics, for whom it dropped 5 percent.
Latinos now make up a quarter of the nation's poor people, and are more than
three times as likely to be impoverished than whites. This decline in income
has taken place despite high rates of labor-force participation by Latino men,
and despite an emerging Latino middle class. In California, where
Latinos now approach one-third of the population, their education levels are
far lower than those of other immigrants, and they earn about half of what
native-born Californians earn. This means that, for the first time in the history of
American immigration, hard work is not leading to economic advancement because
immigrants in service jobs face unrelenting labor-market pressure from more
recently arrived immigrants who are eager to work for less. The narrowing of
the pathways of upward mobility has implications for the children of recent
Mexican immigrants. Their ascent into the middle-class mainstream will likely
be blocked and they will join children of earlier black and Puerto Rican
migrants as part of an expanded multiethnic underclass. Whereas first
generation immigrants compare their circumstances to the Mexico that they left
— and thereby feel immeasurably better off — their children and grandchildren
will compare themelves to other U.S. groups. Given their lower educational
achievement and income, that comparison will only lead to feelings of relative
deprivation and resentment. They are unlikely to be content as maids,
gardeners, or fruit pickers. Many young Latinos in the second and third
generations see themselves as locked in irremediable conflict with white
society, and are quick to deride successful Chicano students as
"wannabes." For them, to study hard is to
"act white" and exhibit group disloyalty. That attitude is part of
the Chicano culture of resistance — a culture that actively resists
assimilation into mainstream America. That culture is created, reinforced, and maintained by
radical Chicano intellectuals, politicians, and the many Chicano Studies
programs in U.S. colleges and universities. As examples, according to its
editor, Elizabeth Martinez, the purpose of Five Hundred Years of Chicano
History, a book used in over 300 schools throughout the West, is to
"celebrate our resistance to being colonized and absorbed by racist empire
builders." The book calls the INS and the Border Patrol "the Gestapo
for Mexicans."
For
Rodolfo Acuna, author of Occupied America: The Chicano's Struggle Toward Liberation,
probably the most widely assigned text in U.S. Chicano Studies programs, the
Anglo-American invasion of Mexico was "as vicious as that of Hitler's
invasion of Poland and other Central European nations...." The book also
includes a map showing "the Mexican republic" in 1822 reaching up
into Kansas and Oklahoma, and including within it Utah, Nevada, and everything
west and south of there
"This is country belongs to Mexico" is said by the Mexican Militant.
This is a common teaching that the U.S. is really AZTLAN, belonging to
Mexicans, which is taught to Mexican kids in Arizona and California through a
LA Raza educational program funded by American Tax Payers via President Obama,
when he gave LA RAZA $800,000.00 in March of 2009!

INVASION)
Mexican Invasion
By
Tom Barrett
At
the current rate of invasion (mostly through Mexico, but also through Canada)
the United States will be completely over run with illegal aliens by the year
2025. I’m not talking about legal immigrants who follow US law to become
citizens. In less than 20 years, if we do not stop the invasion, ILLEGAL aliens
and their offspring will be the dominant population in the United States.
According to US Border Control (see LINK below). “They will have made such
inroads into the political and social systems that they will have more
influence than our Constitution over how the U.S. is governed. The ugly
consequence of an ignored U.S. Constitution is already taking place.” The
millions upon millions of illegal aliens streaming into the US are the
foundation for what could be another attempt at secession by several US states.
Many of them will use ill-conceived programs that reward illegal immigration to
become US citizens. Other illegals will simply go to the polls and vote without
taking the trouble to apply for citizenship. Together, these groups could form
a voting block that could tear our nation apart. Those of you who read the email
version of this column should go to www.ConservativeTruth.org to see the map
posted there. It shows the borders of a new nation proposed by influential
Mexican nationals and Hispanic US Citizens. (See LINK below: Professor Predicts
'Hispanic Homeland'.) It includes six northern states of Mexican, as well as
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and southern Colorado. The idea of a
Hispanic Homeland could be ignored as the pipedream of crackpots if a
substantial majority of Mexican citizens did not support it. A Zogby poll of
Mexicans done in June 2002 revealed that a substantial majority of Mexican
citizens believe that southwestern America properly belongs to Mexico. They
said that Mexicans do not need the permission of the U.S. to enter this territory.
58 percent of Mexican citizens agreed with this statement: "The territory
of the United States' southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico." Only 28
percent disagreed with the statement. Listen to what some Mexican government
officials and US leaders (including politicians and Professors at
taxpayer-funded Universities) have to say on this subject. Jose Angel
Gutierrez, professor, University of Texas, Arlington and founder of La Raza
Unida political party screams at rallies: "We have an aging white America.
They are dying. They are ******** in their pants with fear! I love it! We have
got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to
the worst, we have got to kill him!" (See LINK below.) Richard Alatorre,
Los Angeles City Council "They’re afraid we’re going to take over the
governmental institutions and other institutions. They’re right. We will take
them over. Mario Obledo, California State Secretary of Health, Education and
Welfare under Jerry Brown, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by
Bill Clinton, says, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who
doesn’t like it should leave." Proposition 187 was the California
initiative supported by a majority of Californians that denied taxpayer funds
for services to non-citizens. Speaking at a Latino gathering in response to
Proposition 187’s passage in 1995, Art Torres, the Chairman of the California
Democratic Party, said: "Power is not given to you. You have to take it.
Remember, 187 is the last gasp of white America in California." The
national newspaper of Mexico, Excelsior: "The American Southwest seems to
be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single
shot." Gloria Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor: "We are politicizing
every single one of these new citizens that are becoming citizens of this
country...I gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, "I’m going to
go out there and vote because I want to pay them back." Jose Pescador
Osuna, Mexican Consul General: “We are practicing ‘La Reconquista’ in
California." "Reconquista" means the reconquest of the US
southwest by Mexico. (See LINK below.). These people are serious! They think
they are going to take US territory. The Mexican President declared it here in
our country, and Bill Clinton signed a Presidential Executive Order that paves
the way for at least part of Mexico’s dream. Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo
said in Chicago on July 23, 1997, "I have proudly affirmed that the
Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders and that
Mexican migrants are an important – a very important – part of this. For this
reason, my government proposed a constitutional amendment to allow any Mexican
with the right and the desire to acquire another nationality to do so without
being forced to first give up his or her Mexican nationality."
Translation: It is next to impossible to receive Mexican citizenship unless you
can prove you are of Mexican descent. But Mexico knows that the US has soft
immigration laws and will grant citizenship to almost anyone. (After all, we
grant citizenship every day to immigrants from countries who have sworn to
destroy us.) So Mexico wants to take advantage of this ridiculous situation by
encouraging their citizens to apply for US citizenship while keeping Mexican
citizenship. That way the Mexican government can influence the political
process here in the US. Executive Order 13122, signed on May 25, 1999, by the
most treasonous president this nation has ever been cursed with, Bill Clinton,
established an Interagency Task Force on the Economic Development of the
Southwest Border. Part of the Order reads, "The Southwest Border or
Southwest Border region is defined as including the areas up to 150 miles north
of the United States-Mexican border in the States of Arizona, New Mexico,
Texas, and California." According to experts on international law, this
sets the stage for a 150-mile-wide “Border Zone” that will neither belong to
Mexico or the US. This could then become the first area of a Hispanic Nation
that would eventually encompass the areas shown in the map of the proposed
Republica del Norte (The Northern Republic). Our government, pushed by liberal
Democrats, has been systematically laying the groundwork for such a breakaway
republic. Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non European
countries can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and
government contracts? It’s called affirmative action or racial privilege. Some
time ago a vote was taken in the U.S. Congress to end this practice. It was
defeated. Every single Democratic senator except Ernest Hollings voted to
maintain special privileges for Hispanic, Asian and African immigrants. They
were joined by thirteen Republicans. Bill Clinton and Al Gore have repeatedly
stated that they believe that massive immigration from countries like Mexico is
good. They have also backed special privileges for these immigrants. Mexico, a
nation that has benefited enormously from American generosity is now working to
destabilize our country. Is “destabilize” too strong a word? I don’t think so.
Whether or not Mexican leaders think they can actually create enough hatred
against “gringos” to accomplish the creation of a new republic made up of
mainly US territory, they know that pushing that agenda will cause huge
political problems here and allow Mexico to accomplish many of their goals. Is
the government of Mexico behind this? You have seen quotes from a Mexican
President and a Mexican Consul General in support of it. They have everything
to gain and little to lose by pushing it. The Mexican government is also
pushing illegal immigration, which destabilizes our economy. The US Border
Control website (see LINK below) shows an illustration from a Mexican
government publication showing their citizens how to best illegally enter the
US. Why? It takes the strain of taking care of unemployed Mexicans off the
Mexican treasury and puts it on the US treasury. And when the illegals get on
welfare, they send some of their money home, which helps the Mexican economy.
All this talk by Mexican and US officials about the US illegally occupying
Mexican territory does nothing but breed racial hatred. The sad thing is that
none of this is about race. It is about the things that all wars and conflicts are
about: Greed, power and money. I don’t like to talk about a problem without
offering a solution. The US politicians and professors who advocate taking US
territory are guilty of sedition. Remove them from their offices and
(hopefully) put them in a federal penitentiary where they can consider the
error of their ways. The Mexican politicians who do the same are guilty of
inciting sedition. This is very close to an act of war. Immediately cut of all
economic aid to Mexico until its government publicly disavows this lunatic
plan. Finally, we must realize that we can’t stop this by marching US troops
into Mexico. We should use troops to guard our borders, because the US Border
Patrol cannot cover the huge US-Mexico border without help. And we need to use
pass laws that will stop the government from rewarding illegal immigrants at
the expense of those who follow the law. We have a huge immigration problem in
this country. This ridiculous Hispanic Homeland idea is just a symptom of the
problem. INTERNET RESEARCH: Professor Predicts 'Hispanic Homeland' 1.
http://www.aztlan.net/homeland.htm Professor Predicts 'Hispanic Homeland'
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A University of New Mexico Chicano Studies professor
predicts a new, sovereign Hispanic nation within the century, taking in the
Southwest and several northern states of Mexico. Charles Truxillo suggests the
“Republica del Norte,” the Republic of the North, is “an inevitability.” He
envisions it encompassing all of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and
southern Colorado, plus the northern tier of Mexican states: Baja California,
Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas. Along both sides of the
U.S.-Mexico border “there is a growing fusion, a reviving of connections,”
Truxillo said. “Southwest Chicanos and Norteño Mexicanos are becoming one
people again.” Truxillo, 47, has said the new country should be brought into
being “by any means necessary,” but recently said it was unlikely to be formed
by civil war. Instead, its creation will be accomplished by the electoral
pressure of the future majority Hispanic population in the region, he said.
U.S. Immigrant Numbers Hit 44.5 Million, Near 108-Year Record
AP Photo/Jae C. Hong
The immigrant percentage of the U.S. population has hit 13.7 percent,
near the 1910 record of 14.7 percent, according to the latest release by the
Census Bureau.
In
2017, 13.7 percent of people (one in 7.3 people) in the United States were
immigrants, up from 13.5 percent in 2016, and up from 5 percent (one in 20
people) in 1970, according to the bureau’s data.
The
rising share means 44.5 million people in a population of 325.7 million people
were born abroad. That 44.5 million includes roughly 22 million naturalized citizens,
11 million other residents, including more than 1.5 million foreign temporary
visa-workers, plus roughly 11 million illegal immigrants, according to the
bureau:
The
millions of migrants are concentrated in the coastal metropolises, such as
Los Angeles and New York, but many are migrating into interior states.
According to the New York Times:
New
York and California, states with large immigrant populations, both had
increases of less than six percent since 2010. But foreign-born populations
rose by 20 percent in Tennessee, 13 percent in Ohio, 12 percent in South
Carolina and 20 percent in Kentucky over the same period.
The
recent inflow includes a rising percentage of Asians from China,
Vietnam, India, said the New
York Times.
Brookings
Institution analysis of that data shows that 41 percent of the people who said
they arrived since 2010 came from Asia. Just 39 percent were from Latin
America. About 45 percent were college educated, the analysis found, compared
with about 30 percent of those who came between 2000 and 2009.
The
Asian inflow include includes many college graduates because many of
them are immigrating via the various business-backed programs for
college-graduate visa-workers.
The
Census Bureau may have undercounted the number of illegal immigrants, ensuring
the immigrant population now exceeds the 1910 percentage, NBC News reported:
Illegal
immigrants can be more difficult for surveyors to locate due to informal living
arrangements, and some may avoid being included in surveys for fear of being
reported to the government, researchers say.
Jeffrey
Passel, a demographer at Pew Research Center, has estimated that the actual
immigrant population is likely 3 percent to 5 percent higher than the number in
the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.
A chart by the Washington Post suggests that
this huge wave of migrants has changed politics by giving Democrats’
identity-politics ideology an electoral lock in counties where
immigrants comprise more than 20 percent of the population:
The New York Times report,
however, demurely ignored the political and economic impact of this huge wage
of workers, consumers, and renters.
Some
economic impacts are obvious, for example, immigrants expand the economy by
working, consuming and renting real-estate. Some also raise the productivity of
Americans by inventing new products, importing new goods, or develop novel
services that allow Americans to produce more wealth or enjoyment per hour.
But
many less-skilled migrants play their largest role by simply shifting small
slices of wealth from person to person, for example, by competing up rents in
their neighborhood or by competing down wages in their workplace. The crudest
examples can be seen in agriculture.
European
farms tend to buy labor-saving machines from well-paid European manufacturing
workers because their farmworkers’ wages are high, but many U.S. farm
companies simply use cheap legal and illegal immigrant labor while sharing the
savings from not buying machines between profit-seeking investors and
penny-counting consumers.
Of
course, that cheap-labor business practice leaves Americans taxpayers to carry
the off-work costs of immigrants, such as welfare programs, civic
turmoil, Diversity, education costs for
migrants’ children, and the occasional murder of an Iowa jogger, a massacre in
a Florida nightclub, or the destruction of the Twin Towers in 2011.
But
the immigration is not happening in a vacuum — it is happening as a vast wave
of technology allows companies and investors to move products and assets (such
as cheap migrant labor) around the world, at very low cost. This technological
change has liberated societies to vastly enrich themselves — see China for
example — even as it also seems to centralize power and wealth.
There
is plenty of data to
suggest that this combination of technological change and Congress’ passage of
the 1965 immigration law have together since shifted a huge volume of wealth
from younger, working Americans towards the older Americans who
own real-estate, stocks, or companies.
That
wage-pressure process began first among the interchangeable, blue-collar,
unskilled Americans — such as farm workers — but it is shifting up the economic
ladder to hit interchangeable, college-educated Americans. In President Donald
Trump’s economy, blue-collar Americans are gaining amid modest restrictions on
immigration while middle-class Americans are seeing slower gains as companies import more cheap college-graduates and
also export their jobs to expanding foreign populations of
clever, hardworking college-graduates.
This
economic shift is reflected in another important economic change — the
declining importance of Americans’ wages and salaries compared to other
Americans’ dividends and stock prices. As the New York Times noted
September 12:
Data
from the Federal Reserve show that over the last decade and a half, the
proportion of family income from wages has dropped from nearly 70 percent to
just under 61 percent. It’s an extraordinary shift, driven largely by the
investment profits of the very wealthy. In short, the people who possess
tradable assets, especially stocks, have enjoyed a recovery that Americans
dependent on savings or income from their weekly paycheck have yet to see. Ten
years after the financial crisis, getting ahead by going to work every day
seems quaint, akin to using the phone book to find a number or renting a video
at Blockbuster” …
In
2016, net worth among white middle-income families was 19 percent below 2007
levels, adjusted for inflation. But among blacks, it was down 40 percent, and
Hispanics saw a drop of 46 percent. For many, old-fashioned hard work has
simply not been a viable path out of this hole. After unemployment peaked in
the fall of 2009, it took years for joblessness to return to pre-recession
levels. Slack in the labor market left the employed and unemployed alike with
little leverage to demand raises, even as corporate profits surged.
Maybe
it was inevitable that when half the population watches its wages stagnate
while the other half gets rich in the market, the result is President Donald
Trump and Brexit.
Unsurprisingly,
many legislators are under severe pressure from donors to preserve the current
national economic strategy of growth-by-immigration. In February 2018, for
example, a loose alliance of business-first Republicans, pro-migration
Democrats, and progressive media blocked President Donald Trump’s “Four
Pillars” immigration reforms which would shift the United States back towards a
low-immigration/high-wage economy.
Economists,
investors, talking heads and political advocates in the Democratic and
Republican parties are deeply reluctant to
draw any connection between the immigration inflow of consumers,
workers, and renters, and the economic shift from wages to stocks.
But
the linkage is often hinted at. For example, Noah Smith, a pro-immigration, pro-diversity writer
for Bloomberg News empire, wrote a column in July 2018 saying that
the 1924 immigration cutbacks helped create the 1929 crash:
The
housing crash of the mid-1920s might well have been a direct result of the
curtailment of immigration. And if the Great Depression and/or the stock crash
of 1929 was caused or exacerbated by that housing crash, there’s a clear and
direct link between immigration restriction and the U.S.’s worst economic
crisis of the 20th century. The reduction in agglomeration effects reported by
Ager and Hansen probably also contributed to lower corporate earnings and
sapped vitality in American cities.
Yet
Smith is silent about the flip-side of immigration cuts — the impact of the
1965 immigration expansion law, which has added up to 44.5 million
consumers, workers and renters to the United States’ marketplace.

AMNESTY
WOULD DOUBLE U.S. POPULATION, POVERTY, HOUSING AND HOMELESS CRISIS
"Critics argue
that giving amnesty to 12 to 30 million illegal aliens in the U.S. would have
an immediate negative impact on America’s working and middle class — specifically
black Americans and the white working class — who would be in direct
competition for blue-collar jobs with the largely low-skilled illegal alien
population." JOHN BINDER

"Additionally, under current legal immigration
laws, if given amnesty, the illegal alien population would be allowed to bring
an unlimited number of their foreign relatives to the U.S. This population
could boost already high legal immigration levels to an unprecedented high. An
amnesty for illegal aliens would also likely triple the number of
border-crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border." JOHN BINDER

Census: Population to 420 million in 2060,
2/3rds immigrants, 79 million

A new analysis of the impact on
unrestricted immigration into the United States shows that the nation’s
population will jump to 420 million by 2060, driven by an explosion in
immigrants and their offspring.
Using Census Bureau data, the
group Negative Population Growth said
that current policies suggest that 79 million immigrants will boost the
population during the period.
“Under current immigration policy
U.S. population will rise to 420 million in 2060, versus 341 million if no
immigration was allowed over the 2012 to 2060 period. This implies that
immigrants arriving over the next 45 years, and their U.S. born children and
grandchildren, will add 79 million to U.S. population by 2060. More than
two-thirds of U.S. population growth over this period will be due to
immigration,” said the new analysis.
The report reviews some of the costs
of legal and illegal immigration on the country and taxpayers and makes the
case for a national population policy that considers that impact.
It highlights, for example, the 1965
reforms to the Immigration and Nationality Act which were to limit immigration
but actually fed it through so-called “chain migration,” where one new
immigrant, in an example shown, could bring in some 19 relatives.
The report also puts a spotlight on
the children of illegal immigrants born in the United States who automatically
become citizens. It describes those babies as “deportation insurance.” The
report said:
The U.S.-born baby is, of course, a
U.S. citizen, whose illegal alien parents are eligible to receive, on the
baby’s behalf, food stamps, nutrition from the Women, Infants, and Children
(WIC) program, and numerous tax benefits, including the EITC.
Most importantly, the newborn is
deportation insurance for its parents. Illegal aliens facing deportation can
argue that to deport one or more parents would create an “extreme hardship” for
the new baby. If an immigration officer agrees, we’ve added a new adult to the
nation’s population. At age 21 the former birthright citizen baby can formally
apply for green cards for parents and siblings, and they, in turn, can start
their own immigration chains.

Note to
Dems: High immigration population equals lower GDP
Back in 2010, when the investing community was still eager about
the emerging economies, there was the BRIC ETF you could buy (still can), which
represented a basket of investible companies in Brazil, Russia, India, and
China. The theory was that with the former two, natural resources
would be pillaged in low-regulation environments, and the latter two had to do
with an economic growth model being inextricably linked to booming
populations.
The theory was that the two production economies of Brazil and
Russia, mainly oil, would be balanced out by two emerging consumption
economies. The problem was that shortly thereafter, the government
of Brazil took possession of Petrobras in a thuggish move, and investors got
scared of these economies of socialist and oligarchic fiat (read:
Venezuela). In addition, the price of oil eventually dropped as U.S.
production ramped up and an oil glut kept prices eternally low.
So all the ETF had at that point was India and China, the two
behemoth nations in terms of robust breeding and the emerging consumer
story. But that theory has not born out. What we are
instead seeing is that human population growth stories are not automatically
investible winners. Not anymore. Technology and
automation are increasingly making dense population countries unstable, as
low-skilled manual jobs are not as necessary as they once
were. China is more worried about pacifying an open revolt if its
1.4 billion people ever get hungry enough to engage in another Tiananmen Square
demonstration, where easily over 10,000 people were slaughtered. And
India can't seem to get out of its own clumsy way long enough to make any
traction with its GDP – partially because it is addicted to smothering
regulations, but also, it has so much exposure to cultural poverty due to its
inundated population zones without concomitant employment.
Population growth stories are supposedly consumption-based
economic models but instead are saddled with relatively higher welfare demands
placed on the subject countries in order to pacify the
poverty. Consumption does not produce prosperity any more than
eating a dozen Krispy Kremes produces a handsome physique. Effort is
required for that. Production is required for wealth creation. Consumption
means only that subsistence is reached. Nothing more. And
no real wealth accrued beyond subsistence.
And yet, here at home, we have Democrats who preach that we need
more immigrants and refugees for our economic growth. What planet
are they living on? Okay: We know they are being their usual
disingenuous selves and that they want foreign mercenaries hired by welfare to
vote for them, but their base buys the low-information agit-prop as if it were
something that should be taught in college.
No, wait – maybe
it actually is.
Consumption-based economies are all the rage in Democrat
circles. "Supply-siders," aka production economies, that
require investment (read: tax cuts) are all about those evil
Republicans. To the left, you don't need capital accumulation or
savings to produce growth. All you need is government
handouts.
What we are seeing is that further immigration into the U.S. from
Mexico is creating greater drains on our welfare rolls as well as
infrastructure, our schools, and our emergency rooms and
hospitals. It also removes low-skilled jobs from American
citizens. Citizens then go out and apply for unemployment insurance
because they can't find employment due to illegals occupying those low-skilled
spaces, a double-whammy, and all of it just to help Democrats get
elected.
No, immigration does not automatically convert to a nation's
wealth. It can do quite the opposite, in fact, and drain it that
much faster and liquidate the treasury, a treasury that the Democrats are all
too eager to pillage in order to buy votes from other foreign nationals who
walk across our border and give them the vote as fast as possible.

Baby Population in U.S. Exceeds One Year of American Births
Associated
Press
The number of United States-born children who
were given birthright citizenship despite at least one of their parents being
an illegal alien living in the country now outnumbers one year of all American
births.
A new Congressional Budget Office
(CBO) report reveals the booming number of U.S.-born children to illegal
aliens who are given automatic citizenship, forever anchoring their families in
the U.S.
These children are commonly known as “anchor babies,” as they
are able to eventually bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the
U.S. through the process known as “chain migration.” Every two new immigrants
to the U.S. brings an estimated seven foreign relatives with them.
Rep. Yoder’s India Lobby Offers $$$ to Jump Line for Green Cards
AP Photo/Aijaz Rahi, File
A group of Indian visa-workers is offering to pay the federal government
$1,500 per family to jump the line for green cards, according to a
friendly report by the McClatchy news bureau.
The proposed trade would send just
$1,500 from each Indian family to the federal treasury in exchange for a
fast-track to the hugely valuable prize of citizenship for at least 100,000
outsourcing-workers and their family members.
That small payment would save the
Indians from paying lawyers’ fees, allow them to compete directly against
American professionals for jobs, and allow them to quickly begin the
chain-migration process for their many parents and siblings. The money could
be used to fund the Federal Emergency Management Agency, say the
advocates, who are also hoping their proposal will be supported by their ally,
Kansas GOP Rep. Kevin Yoder.
“It goes from insulting to
preposterous to propose such a thing,” countered Jessica Vaughan, policy
director at the Center for Immigration Studies. She continued:
It is insulting for them to think
they should get to jump in line ahead of others for paying a
ridiculously low sum of money, and it is preposterous [for them] to
think they somehow are preferred immigrants over millions of others who have
been sponsored and are waiting their turn in line.
Immigration lobbyists are pitching a
plan to pay for disaster relief by charging high-skilled workers
from India and China a fee to obtain green cards.
And they’re leaning hard on Rep.
Kevin Yoder, R-Kansas, to help …
under this proposal green card
applicants from certain countries could pay an additional fee to bypass the
green card backlog. The money would be would be earmarked for disaster relief,
which [the group’s lawyer also] said would increase the chances of passing
green card policy reforms.
An additional $1,500 green card fee
for all employment-based Chinese and Indian immigrants would raise $1.5 billion
over 10 years, according to an analysis by Immigration Voice. A fee of $2,500
would raise another $1 billion …
In January, the group said their
funds could be used to pay for a border wall, said McClatchy:
Mexico refuses to pay for President
Donald Trump’s wall, but advocates representing another group of foreign
workers legally in the U.S. say they would eagerly raise billions for the
barrier if it’d help them get green cards faster.
Who? Under the proposal, Indian and
Chinese tech workers would step up and kick in $2,500 each or more in fees if
it meant they could get their green cards after five or six years instead of
waiting decades as some do now.
“The Indian high-skilled workers
will gladly, enthusiastically and happily pay for the wall if given an
opportunity to do so in order to get fair treatment on green card waiting
times,” said Leon Fresco, an attorney for Immigration Voice, an advocacy group
working with members of Congress on the measure.
The Immigration Voice group says it
represents up to 300,000 Indian outsourcing workers, plus up to 300,000 family
members, who are waiting for green-cards that have been sponsored by their
employers. The group is already working closely with Yoder to pass a fast-track
green-card bill in the 2019 appropriations bills.
Indian advocates say some Indians
visa-workers face a waiting line of up to 150 years to get a green card. The
problem, they say, is the so-called “country caps” on the distribution of the
140,000 employer-based visas awarded each year. Those caps theoretically limit
nationals of each country to just 7 percent of the annual 140,000 visas,
chiefly to ensure a wide distribution of the visas to diverse countries.
But most of the Indians get through
the green-card line in several years, partly because the complex visa rules
allow roughly 23,000 Indian workers and families get green cards every year.
That actual inflow is far higher than the notional 9,800-per-year limit set by
the 7 percent country cap.
There are roughly 300,000 Indians in
the green-card line because brand-name U.S. companies, hospitals,
banks, and universities have outsourced millions of U.S. jobs to Indian
subcontractors, such as Infosys, Cognizant or Wipro. Most of the 300,000
Indians in the line were imported for temporary U.S. jobs via the L-1 and
H-1B visa-worker programs and were later rewarded when their employers
sponsored them for the huge prize of green cards.
Nationwide,
the U.S. government helps companies keep a population of roughly 1.5 million
visa-workers in American white-collar jobs. The various visa programs — H-1B, L-1, J-1, H4 EAD, OPT, TN — allow employers to hire cheap foreign doctors, therapists,
programmers, engineers, accountants, designers, architects, managers,
recruitment specialists, P.R. experts, and many other professionals.
These huge labor programs boost the stock market by lowering salaries for
many American college graduates and also push many Americans into
lower-tech, lower-wage careers, such as journalism.
For
example, Northwestern University is using the H-1B program to hire roughly 170
foreign graduates each year to fill science and teaching jobs for just $65,000
a year, according to government data provided by MyVisaJobs.com. U.S.
science grads — whether young or old, male or female, Asian, Latino,
African-American, or European-American — were not offered those university
jobs.
The
university is paying its H-1Bs workers just above Chicago’s “living wage” of
$59,215, as estimated by CNBC.
In
July, Yoder worked with the Indian group to win initial approval for a
bill that would abolish the country caps.
If the country caps are removed by
Yoder’s bill late this year, U.S. Fortune 500 companies and Indian outsourcing
firms will be able to offer fast-track green cards to roughly five times more
Indian hires each year. That giveaway will help investors greatly accelerate
the organized outsourcing of middle-class healthcare and technology jobs to
lower-wage Indian employees, so boosting the investors’ stock values.
The new green-cards-for-cash plan is
being offered to Yoder because he chairs the House homeland
defense appropriations committee, which oversees immigration and emergency
management. Immigration Voice’s political advisor, Leon Fresco, told McClatchy:
“At the end of the day, Yoder has a
massive hand here because he needs to write the FEMA legislation,” said Leon
Fresco, the strategist and general counsel for Immigration Voice. “One way or
another there’s no way this doesn’t go through Yoder.”
Fresco notes that Yoder plan to
eliminate the country caps will not raise the annual distribution of green
cards to H-1B workers.
But Yoder’s plan will allow U.S. and
Indian companies to recruit and import more workers via the L-1 visa program.
The program has no cap and it allows visa-workers to be paid minimum wages,
even for white-collar jobs.
The
State Department is already issuing almost 80,000 multi-year L-1 visas each
year, creating a resident population of perhaps 400,000 L-1 workers. Some L-1 visa-workers
are used to set up new businesses in the United States, but many are used for
outsourcing work, alongside H-1B visa-workers.
Yoder’s
dive into the middle-class outsourcing controversy comes as he faces a
difficult election campaign in a district that voted for Hillary Clinton in
2016. His district already includes employers who have outsourced white-collar
jobs to 1,400 H-1B workers, according
to H-1BFacts.com.
Amnesty
advocates rely on business-funded “Nation of Immigrants” push-polls
to show apparent voter support for immigration and immigrants.
Yoder’s office did not dismiss the
cash-for-green-cards plan. According to McClatchy:
“We are still in the early stages of
looking into this specific proposal, but we remain committed to ensuring that
(a green card bill) gets across the finish line and becomes law,” Yoder’s
spokesman C.J. Grover said in an email.
Yoder is expected to push his
country-caps plan in the must-pass homeland defense budget, during the
lame-duck session after the voters have cast their votes and as retiring
legislators look for lobbying jobs with business.
Many
reports show high levels of corruption in the
H-1B program, reflecting the high levels of corruption in the home countries.
For example, corruption in India is ranked as the 81st most corrupt country, partly
because of caste vs. caste hostility, according to Transparency International.
The corruption debilitates the
country’s economic growth, say critics.
The home-country corruption has
ensured numerous arrests of Indian executives in the United States, plus a
series of lawsuits against large Indian outsourcing companies. The lawsuits
charge the Indian companies with discriminating against Americans to ensure the
placement of more Indian workers in U.S. jobs.
“The most objectionable result of
lifting the country caps would be to reward the [American] companies that have
used the [temporary] guest-workers to replace Americans,” said Vaughan. “It
completes the process for them … it institutionalizes this in a way
that will cause permanent harm to Americans who aspire to white-collar jobs.”
Moreover, the
“guest-worker visas are not meant to be a stepping stone for green cards,”
she added. But for Indian visa-workers, “that was their expectation, and it was
wrong, and now they are demanding their expectations be filled … They
think adding a little money to the discussion might be enough to grease the
way, but that is not the way Americans see their immigration system,” she
added.
“Americans value fairness in our
immigration system,” along with the need for some diversity, minimal corruption
and a first-come-first-served policy, she said.
Also, the Indians’ offer to pay for
approval by Yoder and other legislators to jump the line “shows the disdain
they have for other categories” of would-be immigrants, said Vaughan.
“To suggest for a mere $1,500 they should be allowed to jump in line, that
they are somehow more worthy … in the way you would try to buy off a
police officer for not writing a ticket — it smacks of the same kind of mentality,”
said Vaughan.
The $1,500 payment is also trivial,
she said, because the acceleration of green cards would be extremely valuable,
she said. It would allow the visa-workers to quit their low-wage outsourcing
jobs sooner, and also accelerate the arrival of their elderly parents via
chain-migration rules, she said. Parents “are one of the most expensive
demographic groups [for taxpayers] because of their likely need for health care
benefits, and the fact that they have not contributed over a lifetime to Social
Security or any other social welfare program through taxes,” she said.
The promised payment of $1.5 billion
is enough to keep the federal government operating for four hours. In 2017, the
federal government’s budget was $3,664 billion.
But the Indian lobby has managed to
win sponsorship from more than 80 percent of the House for Yoder’s H.R. 392
bill to remove the country caps. Their lobbying campaign relies on frequent
group visits to member’s district offices, plus the persuasive power of the
Indian doctors from local hospitals and the wives of visa-workers, Fresco told
Breitbart News.
Yoder’s bill might get passed this
Fall, Vaughan said. “I don’t think most members of Congress understand the
implications [of the country cap removal] and they are attracted [to
the argument] that it is somehow more fair to do away with the per-country
caps,” she said.
“Per-country caps ensure a diverse
flow of immigrants from many countries,” said RJ Hauman, government
relations director at the Federation for American Immigration Reform. He
continued:
Without those caps in place, India
will consume the lion’s share of the permanent skilled visas, creating a
discriminatory system that favors a single foreign nation. H.R. 392 shreds any
pretense that programs like the H-1B and L visa [programs] are anything but a
track for intending immigrants – not a short-term foreign labor program. No one
promised [these Indian] temporary guest workers that they would ever have the
chance to immigrate permanently.
“Allowing temporary guest workers the
opportunity to pay for green cards – no matter where the money goes –
completely undermines the integrity of our immigration system,” said Hauman,
adding:
The last thing we need is another
pay-for-play route to citizenship like the fraud-ridden EB-5 program.
Immigration Economics
Four million young Americans will
join the workforce this year, but the federal government will also
import 1.1 million legal immigrants, and allow an army of at least 2
million visa-workers to work U.S. jobs, alongside asylum-claiming migrants and
illegal aliens.
There are at least 4.5 million anchor babies in the U.S. under
the age of 18-years-old, according to the CBO. This estimate does not include
the potentially millions of anchor babies who are older than 18-years-old, nor
does it include the anchor babies who are living overseas with their deported
foreign parents.
The 4.5 million anchor babies estimate exceeds the four million
American children born every year. In the next decade, the CBO estimates that
there will be at least another 600,000 anchor babies born in the U.S., which
would put the anchor baby population on track to exceed annual American births
— should the U.S. birth rate not increase — by more than one million anchor
babies.
Already, the anchor baby population exceeds the entire
population of Los Angeles, California and is roughly half of the population of
New York City.
As Breitbart News reported, a decade of
chain migration, allowing newly naturalized immigrants to bring an unlimited
number of foreign relatives with them, has exceeded two years of all American
births. Altogether, chain migration since 2005 has imported roughly 9.3 million
foreign nationals to the U.S.
Every year, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 foreign nationals,
with the vast majority deriving from family-based chain migration. In 2016, the
legal and illegal immigrant population reached a record high of 44 million. By
2023, the Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the legal and illegal immigrant
population of the U.S. will make up nearly 15 percent of the entire U.S.
population.
