CALIFORNIA: MEXICO'S LA RAZA SUPREMACY WELFARE STATE
"Over the past decade, the traditional base of the Republican party — homeowners and small business owners — has been migrating to states with lower taxes and fewer regulations. Meanwhile, California continues to attract immigrants — both legal and illegal — as well as a disproportionate share of the state’s welfare recipients."
Republicans See Pickup Opportunity in California’s 36th District with Kimberlin Brown Pelzer
The sun shines brightly over the desert valley, as a crosswind whips across State Route 86, picking up the faint scent of the Salton Sea.
“That’s our lake,” says Kimberlin Brown Pelzer, the Hollywood star now running for Congress as a Republican in California’s 36th congressional district. She recalls the Salton Sea as an oasis, a vacation spot that welcomed celebrities and families alike in its heyday. Now, however, the water is receding, and the last of the tilapia are expected to disappear.
In the same way, California was once a haven for Republicans. Yet the party seems to be collapsing here.
Explanations vary. Some blame the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli amnesty, which shifted the demographic makeup of the California electorate. Others blame the Republican response to illegal immigration, through such measures as Proposition 187 in 1994, which alienated Latino voters from the GOP. Certainly the failures of the last Republican governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, did not help.
Over the past decade, the traditional base of the Republican party — homeowners and small business owners — has been migrating to states with lower taxes and fewer regulations. Meanwhile, California continues to attract immigrants — both legal and illegal — as well as a disproportionate share of the state’s welfare recipients.
The state also still attracts talented people to Silicon Valley and to Hollywood. But those wealthy enclaves are political monocultures, almost entirely left.
Yet there is hope for the Republican Party in the 36th district, which takes up most of Riverside County west of Interstate 215, running all the way east to the Arizona border.
The Cook Partisan Voting Index rates the 36th as a D+2, meaning it is essentially a swing district. And the Democratic incumbent, Raul Ruiz, has failed to distinguish himself in three terms. He is essentially a stand-in for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who hopes to regain the Speaker’s gavel next year.
In addition, Ruiz has adopted far-left positions on a variety of issues, especially foreign policy. He is a strong supporter of the Iran nuclear deal, and has been endorsed by J Street, a radical far-left organization that many consider anti-Israel.
In addition, Ruiz has received a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood. When two of his campaign donors were revealed to be the targets of a criminal investigation in 2017, Ruiz did not return their money: he gave it to Planned Parenthood instead.
As a result, Pelzer says, the voters of the district — especially the Republican ones — feel that they do not have a voice in Washington.
“They don’t feel represented,” she argues. “Ruiz only says and does what Pelosi tells him to do.” She notes that Ruiz — like every other Democrat in Congress — voted against President Donald Trump’s new tax cuts. Those tax cuts, she says, have already translated into new jobs in the 36th district. Yet, she says, Pelosi and Ruiz want to raise taxes again.
It takes a certain amount of courage — or chutzpah — to mount a Republican campaign in a year when Democrats believe they are about to ride a “blue wave” back to power in the House. Democrats just need to flip 23 seats to regain the majority. And they are targeting California in particular, because there are several seats currently held by Republicans in districts that Hillary Clinton won in 2016. The surge of liberal activism in the state has convinced several Republicans to retire already.
But Pelzer is on a mission. A Trump supporter from the start, she spoke at the Republican National Convention in 2016. As such, she is believed to enjoy particular clout that could come in handy when taking up the district’s issues.
Local farmers, for example — specializing in dates, grapes, and peppers, among other irrigated crops — want President Trump to make good on his promise to broker bilateral trade deals that could help them reach markets abroad. Pelzer believes she can deliver.
The number one issue in the district, Pelzer says, is immigration. And she supports Trump’s policies, believing there is room for a compromise that addresses the need for farm labor.
“We need some kind of program that is mutually beneficial to our country and to our farmers — and that isn’t grossly abused,” she says. She also rejects the idea that Americans won’t do farm work as “incredibly offensive and racist.” She notes that she grew up helping out on a family farm in Northern California.
A career in modeling took Pelzer to Hollywood, where she found herself winning one acting role after another, eventually landing a recurring role as Sheila Carter — “one of the all-time great soap supervillains” — on The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. The latter has a large international audience, and is the number one most-watched soap opera in the world. Pelzer also trained as an interior designer, and runs a variety of businesses from her home base in Palm Springs.
Her business acumen has led her to adopt a careful approach to her campaign. Though she had raised $262,607 by the March reporting deadline, almost 20 times as much as the closest of her four Republican primary rivals, she had only spent about $90,000, leaving her with substantial cash-on-hand.
She has hired consultants, but is acting as her own campaign manager until the general election. Likewise, she says, she will focus on mailings in the primary, and leave pricey TV ads for the fall.
Pelzer has only done limited polling, but the early numbers, she says, suggest that the district’s voters prefer a Republican on the generic ballot. President Trump has an approval rating of 46% in the district — not staggering, but far ahead of the rest of the state.
Those numbers give Pelzer a shot, and Washington has begun calling. GOP leaders like her poise and drive. They also like her chances.
In 2018, the fate of the House, and the country, could depend on Kimberlin Brown Pelzer in the 36th.

DEMOCRAT PARTY HAVE ERECTED SANS ANY LEGALS VOTES. ADD TO THIS THE FREE
ENTERPRISE HOSPITAL AND CLINIC COST FOR LA RAZA’S “FREE” MEDICAL WHICH IS
ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT $1.5 BILLION PER YEAR.
Liberals
claim they more than make that up with taxes paid, but that’s simply not true.
It’s not even close. FAIR estimates illegal aliens in California contribute
only $1.21 billion in tax revenue, which means they cost California $20.6
billion, or at least $1,800 per household.
Nonetheless, open border advocates, such as Facebook Chairman Mark Zuckerberg, claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to California with little evidence to support such an assertion. As the Center for Immigration Studies has documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting them access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If illegal aliens were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way, California, with its 2.6 million illegal aliens, would be booming.
Furthermore, the complexion of illegal aliens has changed with far more on welfare and committing crimes than those who entered the country in the 1980s. Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has testified before a Congressional committee that in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles were for illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail inmates were illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest street gang, the 18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. Granted, those statistics are old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement officer, they will tell you it’s much worse today. The problem is that the Brown administration will not release any statewide data on illegal alien crimes. That would be insensitive. And now that California has declared itself a “sanctuary state,” there is little doubt this sends a message south of the border that will further escalate illegal immigration into the state.

"If the racist "Sensenbrenner
Legislation" passes the US Senate, there is no doubt that a massive civil
disobedience movement will emerge. Eventually labor union power can merge with
the immigrant civil rights and "Immigrant
Sanctuary" movements to enable us to either form a new political
party or to do heavy duty reforming of the existing Democratic Party. The next
and final steps would follow and that is to elect our own governors of all the
states within Aztlan."
Indeed, California goes out of its way to attract illegal aliens. The state has even created government programs that cater exclusively to illegal aliens. For example, the State Department of Motor Vehicles has offices that only process driver licenses for illegal aliens. With over a million illegal aliens now driving in California, the state felt compelled to help them avoid the long lines the rest of us must endure at the DMV. And just recently, the state-funded University of California system announced it will spend $27 million on financial aid for illegal aliens. They’ve even taken out radio spots on stations all along the border, just to make sure other potential illegal border crossers hear about this program. I can’t afford college education for all my four sons, but my taxes will pay for illegals to get a college education.

If Immigration Creates
Wealth, Why Is California America's Poverty Capital?
California used to be home to America's
largest and most affluent middle class. Today, it is
America's poverty capital. What went
wrong? In a word: immigration. According to the
U.S. Census Bureau'...: The
Golden State is peddling fool's gold lately.
California used to be
home to America's largest and most affluent middle class. Today, it
is America's poverty capital. What went wrong? In a
word: immigration.
According to the U.S. Census
Bureau's Official Poverty Measure, California's poverty rate hovers
around 15 percent. But this figure is misleading: the Census Bureau
measures poverty relative to a uniform national standard, which doesn't account
for differences in living costs between states – the cost of taxes, housing,
and health care are higher in California than in Oklahoma, for
example. Accounting for these differences reveals that California's real poverty rate is
20.6 percent –
the highest in America, and nearly twice the national average of 12.7
percent.
Likewise, income inequality in California is
the second-highest in America, behind only New York. In fact, if California
were an independent country, it would be the 17th most unequal country on
Earth, nestled comfortably between Honduras and Guatemala. Mexico is
slightly more egalitarian. California is far more unequal than the
"social democracies" it emulates: Canada is the 111th most
unequal nation, while Norway is far down the list at number 153 (out of 176
countries). In terms of income inequality, California has more in
common with banana republics than other "social democracies."
More Government, More Poverty
High taxes, excessive regulations,
and a lavish welfare state – these are the standard explanations for
California's poverty epidemic. They have some merit. For
example, California has both the highest personal income tax rate and the
highest sales tax in America, according to Politifact.
Not only are California's taxes high,
but successive "progressive" governments have swamped the state in a
sea of red tape. Onerous regulations cripple small businesses and
retard economic growth. Kerry Jackson, a fellow with the Pacific
Research Institute, gives a few specific examples of how excessive government
regulation hurts California's poor. He writes in a recent op-ed for
the Los Angeles Times:
Extensive environmental regulations
aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions make energy more expensive, also
hurting the poor. By some estimates, California energy costs are as
much as 50% higher than the national average. Jonathan A. Lesser of
Continental Economics ... found that "in 2012, nearly 1 million California
households faced ... energy expenditures exceeding 10% of household
income."
Some government regulation is
necessary and desirable, but most of California's is not. There is
virtue in governing with a "light touch."
Finally, California's welfare state
is, perhaps paradoxically, a source of poverty in the state. The Orange Country Register reports that California's
social safety net is comparable in scale to those found in Europe:
In California a mother
with two children under the age of 5 who participates in these major welfare
programs – Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (food stamps), housing assistance, home energy assistance,
Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children – would
receive a benefits package worth $30,828 per year.
... [Similar] benefits
in Europe ranged from $38,588 per year in Denmark to just $1,112 in
Romania. The California benefits package is higher than in
well-known welfare states as France ($17,324), Germany ($23,257) and even
Sweden ($22,111).
Although welfare states ideally help
the poor, reality is messy. There are three main problems with the
welfare state. First, it incentivizes poverty by rewardingthe
poor with government handouts that are often far more valuable than a
job. This can be ameliorated to some degree by imposing work
requirements on welfare recipients, but in practice, such requirements are
rarely imposed. Second, welfare states are expensive. This means higher taxes and therefore slower economic
growth and fewer job opportunities for everyone – including the poor.
Finally, welfare states are magnets
for the poor. Whether through domestic migration or foreign
immigration, poor people flock to places with generous welfare
states. This is logical from the immigrant's perspective, but it
makes little sense from the taxpayer's. This fact is why socialism
and open borders arefundamentally incompatible.
Why Big Government?
Since 1960, California's population exploded from 15.9 to 39 million people. The
growth was almost entirely due to immigration – many people came from other
states, but the majority came from abroad. The Public Policy Institute of California estimates that 10 million
immigrants currently reside in California. This works out to 26
percent of the state's population.
BLOG: COME TO
MEXIFORNIA! HALF OF LOS ANGELES 15 MILLION ARE ILLEGALS!
This figure includes
2.4 million illegal aliens, although a recent study from Yale University suggests that the
true number of aliens is at least double that. Modifying the initial figure implies that
nearly one in three Californians is an immigrant. This
is not to disparage California's immigrant population, but it is madness to
deny that such a large influx of people has changed California's society and
economy.
Importantly, immigrants vote
Democrat by a ratio higher than 2:1, according to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies. In California,
immigration has increased the pool of likely Democrat voters by nearly 5
million people, compared to just 2.4 million additional likely Republican
voters. Not only does this almost guarantee Democratic victories,
but it also shifts California's political midpoint to the left. This
means that to remain competitive in elections, the Republicans must abandon
or soften many conservative positions so as to cater to the center.
California became a
Democratic stronghold not because Californians became socialists, but because
millions of socialists moved there. Immigration turned California
blue, and immigration is ultimately to blame for California's high poverty
level.
Is California Governor
Jerry Brown Mentally Ill?
Leftists are relentlessly
selling their bogus narrative that Trump is insane. Here are samples
of leftists' headlines: "Lawmakers Met With Psychiatrist About Trump's
Mental Health," "President Trump's Mental State An 'Enormous Present
Danger,'" "The Awkward Debate Around Trump's Mental Fitness,"
"The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists Assess."
So what has Trump done to
convince leftists that he must be crazy? Unlike Republicans, Trump
fearlessly confronts fake news media, calling them out when they
lie. Unlike Obama's punish-evil-America-first presidency, Trump has
America's best interest at heart. Unlike leftists seeking to
dissolve our borders, Trump plans to build a wall to protect our people and our
economy. Insanely, leftists cheered when Obama allowed
Ebola into America, claiming it was racist and unfair for Americans not to be
subjected to the disease. Unlike Obama, Hillary, Democrats, and fake
news media's war on Christianity (forcing a 100-year-old order of Catholic
nuns to fund contraception and forcing Christian businesses to service
same-sex ceremonies), Trump vows to defend religious liberty.
So I guess, according to
leftists' perverse way of thinking, that Trump must be crazy, along with the 63
million Americans who voted for him.
Governor Brown signed a
new law making California a sanctuary state, doubling down on his bizarre quest
to undermine American citizens. In essence, Brown gave federal law,
President Trump, and legal California residents his middle
finger. Numerous California families have suffered devastating
losses of family members killed by illegals with long felony records who have
been deported several times and welcomed back with open arms by
Brown. One mom whose son was killed by an illegal with two DUIs and
two felonies said Brown should be arrested for treason. Isn't it
reasonable to question Brown's sanity?
Liberal governing has
transformed beautiful California into the poverty
capital of America with the worst quality of life. Crazy
taxes,
crazy high cost of living, and crazy overreaching
regulations have crushed the middle class, forcing the middle class to
exit the Sunshine State. All that is left in California are illegals
feeding at the breast of the state, rapidly growing massive
homeless tent cities, and the mega-rich. Would a sane governor take pride
in causing this to happen to his state?
Headline: "San
Francisco Is A Literal [s-]hole, Public Defecation Map Reveals." Can
you imagine homeless people pooping on the streets being so pervasive that an
interactive map was created to help citizens avoid the piles of
poop? Human feces carries infectious
diseases. What
kind of irrational logic deems posing such health risks to constituents an act
of compassion? Is Governor Brown crazy?
Insanely, three fourths
of California's taxpayer dollars – more than $30 billion – is spent on
illegal aliens. Meanwhile, despite the highest taxes in the nation,
California is $1.3 trillion in debt – unemployment is at a staggering
11%. California's wacko giveaways to illegals include in-state
tuition, amounting to $25 million of financial aid. Nearly a million
illegals have California driver's licenses. L.A. County has 144%
more registered voters than there are residents of legal voting
age. Clearly, illegals are illegally
voting.
Get this, folks:
Americans are spending almost a billion dollars a year on auto insurance for
illegals. Brown is gifting illegals billions in welfare and housing
while his constituents cannot find a place to live.
Ten years ago, a buddy of
mine excitedly moved his family from Maryland to California to accept the
highest-paying job of his career. Despite his lucrative salary, he
was forced to move back east due to the outrageously high cost of
living. My buddy said if he were an illegal, practically everything
would be free. His story inspired me to write and record a Beach
Boys-style song titled "Can't Afford the Sunshine."
Once again, I ask you,
folks: would a rational governor do what Brown is doing to his
constituents? Is Governor Jerry Brown mentally ill?
Laura Ingraham: ‘California Is Almost Acting Like It’s a Separate Country’
Earlier this
week on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” host Laura Ingraham slammed
California and its leaders for its sanctuary city policies and its open
defiance of the federal government seeking to uphold existing immigration law.

as follows:
INGRAHAM: The radical takeover of California, that’s the focus
of tonight’s ANGLE.
I still remember the first time I traveled to Southern
California, it was the summer of 1984 and Los Angeles is hosting the Olympics.
Reagan was president and Republican George (inaudible) was the state’s governor.
Now, he was a moderate conservative, a law and order kind of guy.
The whole place, to me at least, felt like a Beach Boy song, the
weather, the people, the lifestyle was all, you know, beautiful stuff. But
today, the sunshine not with understanding, California is a very different
place. It’s now a place where state officials actively thwart federal
authorities trying to stop violent criminal offenders.
Oakland’s mayor, Libby Schaaf, went so far as to issue a warning
to immigrant communities that an ICE raid was forthcoming. Well, the president
sounded off on that today.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: What the mayor of
Oakland did the other day was a disgrace where they had close to 1,000 people
ready to be gotten, ready to be taken off the streets. Many of them, they say
85 percent of them were criminals and had criminal records, and the mayor of
Oakland went out and she went out and warned them all, scatter.
So instead of taking in a thousand, they took in a fraction of
that. She said get out of here. She is telling that to criminals and it’s
certainly something that we are looking at with respect to her individually.
What she did is incredible and very dangerous from the standpoint of ICE and
Border Patrol, very dangerous. She really made law enforcement much more
dangerous.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
INGRAHAM: Now, for her part, Mayor Schaaf is deflecting that
criticism and she is going straight to the r-word.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MAYOR LIBBY SCHAAF, OAKLAND: The attorney general is trying to
distract the American people from a failed immigration system by painting a
racist, broad brush of our immigrant community as dangerous criminals.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
INGRAHAM: Now who is mentioning skin color or ethnicity or where
people are from. That’s just pathetic. California, the way you see this playing
out, is almost acting like it’s a separate country all together, not a separate
state. Well, I think Attorney General Jeff Sessions was 100 percent correct
yesterday when he labeled state officials radical extremists for perpetuating
the lawlessness.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JFFF SESSIONS, ATTORNEY GENERAL: Federal law determines
immigration policy. State of California is not entitled to block that activity.
Somebody needs to stand up and say no, you’ve gone too far. You cannot do this.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
INGRAHAM: But California AG Javier Becerra shot back. He argued
that the state sanctuary laws are constitutional adding our folks are very busy
doing public safety around the state. We don’t have to do the immigration work
for immigration officials. Excuse me. Public safety?
Well, that’s what we are supposed to believe when your own
Oakland mayor warned the illegal aliens ahead of time when she got wind of the
ice raid that was about to happen? Today, the White House released a partial
list of the crimes committed set free despite the lawful request of immigration
authorities. Check it out.
There is a Guatemalan citizen who was arrested last august for
injuring his spouse. While the Sonoma County jail provided ice with a whopping
24 minutes in the before it released the alien. A few weeks later, the Santa
Rosa Police Department in California arrested that same individual as a suspect
in the murder of his girlfriend.
Another Guatemalan, an alleged gang member was arrested by the
San Francisco police more than 10 times between 2013 and 2017 for charges
including rape, domestic battery, second degree robbery, assault, vehicle
theft, and on each occasion, what happened was ice requested notification of his
release so then ice could take him into custody.
Each time ICE’s request was declined by California. And then a
citizen of Mexico was arrested by Santa Clara County for drug possession on
January 11th, 2017. He was later convicted of child cruelty, felony possession
purchase of controlled substances and, of course, possession of marijuana. He
was released from local custody.
The list goes on and on. And we could literally do an entire
show just on the myriad ways that California sanctuary policies have endangered
the lives of innocent, law abiding citizens. And, of course, law enforcement
and, of course, legal immigrants.
California AG Becerra and Governor Moon Beam Brown are living in
alternative universe. They deny that they even have sanctuary laws in place.
Yet, here’s what their new statutes stipulate. In violation of federal
statutes, local officials cannot tell the feds when illegals in custody are
about to be released.
And they are banned under this law from transferring criminal
immigrants to federal officials. Now, we are talking about undocumented
criminals here. And the state of California is also so concerned about the
welfare of the illegal immigrants, that they imposed a state-run inspection of
immigrants detained by the federal government.
So, basically, they are trying to regulate federal immigration
detention and, perhaps most outrageously, one California law now requires
private business owners to — they can’t voluntarily cooperate with ICE agents.
Now, in fact, they have to notify illegal employees before any workplace
inspections take place or those private business owners face heavy fines.
Now, you cannot get more radical and rapidly open borders than
that. Though California officials are triggered over the sessions’ lawsuit, it
may be, may be the beginning of restoring some sanity to this state.
Republicans, let’s face it, largely have been shut out of
California politics now for years u and we are a very long way from the days
when Pete Wilson was governor back in the 1990s. Permissive liberal social
welfare policies and the embrace of illegal immigrants have plunged the state
into a spiral of homelessness.
It’s now at a crisis point declared by San Francisco and Los
Angeles and even Orange County. We reported on this before is grappling with
homeless encampments and the crime and health issues that come along with them.
This is not what the people of California want. How do I know that?
Well, a UC Berkeley poll just found that 74 percent of
Californians wanted to end sanctuary cities including 55 percent of Hispanics,
and 73 percent of Democrats. Now, if that’s not a cry for sanity or a cry for
help, I do not know what is.
Sessions and the Trump administration are throwing the golden
state a lifeline with these sanctuary lawsuits because if they’re successful,
perhaps the good vibrations, political and otherwise, can roll through
California once again. And that’s THE ANGLE.
California. Sh*thole.
By Wayne Allyn Root
Gateway Pundit,
California
is Exhibit A. It’s filled with immigrants. Ten million to be exact. Many of
them illegal. Guess which state has the highest poverty rate in the country?
Not Mississippi, New Mexico, or West Virginia, but California- where nearly one
out of five residents is poor. That’s according to the Census Bureau.
While California accounts for 12% of America’s population, it accounts for one third of America’s welfare checks. California leads the country in food stamp use. California has more people on welfare than most countries around the world.
. . .
If immigration is so great for our country and illegal aliens “contribute a net positive” to society…how do you explain what’s happening in California?
I haven’t even gotten to the taxes. The income taxes, business taxes, sales taxes and gas taxes are all the highest in the nation. Why do you think that is? To pay the enormous costs of illegal immigration. To pay for the education costs, healthcare costs, police, courts, lawyers, prisons, and hundreds of different welfare programs for millions of California’s illegal aliens and struggling legal immigrants too.
But you haven’t heard the worst yet. California- the immigrant capital of America- is filthy. Perhaps the filthiest place on earth. Filthier than the slums of Calcutta. Filthier than the poorest slums of Brazil and Africa.
NBC journalists recently conducted a survey of San Francisco. They found piles of smelly garbage on the streets, used needles, gallons of urine and piles of feces- all near famous tourist attractions, fancy hotels, government buildings and children’s playgrounds.

MEXIFORNIA: WHERE LA RAZA AND THEIR CARTELS
LOOT FIRST!
CALIFORNIA…. LAND OF POVERTY, WELFARE FOR ANCHOR BABY
BREEDERS and MEXICANS WHO JUMPED THE BORDERS TO VOTE FOR MORE!
California became a Democratic stronghold not because Californians
became socialists, but because millions of socialists moved

Zuckerberg’s
Investor Group Pushes for Pre-Election Amnesty

Silicon Valley investors,
including Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg, are joining the Koch network’s push
for a quick amnesty that would also keep the issue of cheap-labor immigration
out of the November election.
But the push by Zuckerberg’s
FWD.us investor group quickly hit a
roadblock Thursday when Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy denounced the
“discharge petition” amnesty plan, which is fronted by California GOP Rep. Jeff
Denham.
“I don’t believe discharge
petitions are the way to legislate,” McCarthy said to The Hill.
“I don’t believe members in the [GOP] conference believe that, either.”
McCarthy’s opposition — and
the growing pressure for a quick exit by retiring House Speaker Paul Ryan —
opens up room for GOP legislators to make the November election all
about rising wages vs. cheap-labor immigration. Numerous polls show that
more than 70 percent of Americans want companies to
hire Americans before importing more cheap-labor immigrants, and numerous
business groups say they need more imported labor as wages begin to rise.
But a quick Zuckerberg
amnesty would prevent President Donald Trump or GOP leaders from running on an
immigration reform platform in November — and would also deflate economic
pressure that is delivering higher wages before the 2018 election. “It
would be the dumbest thing possible for Republicans to do coming election which
they already think they may lose — they would for sure lose with this,” said Rosemary Jenks, the
director
of governmental affairs at NumbersUSA. She continued:
I don’t think they will [shift
to immigration, but] … it would be a surefire way to keep the majority. People
in Washington talk about [election-winning] ’70 percent issues’ … [and] this is
it, this is the 70 percent issue.
Backed by Zuckerberg’s FWD.us, Denham is collecting GOP
signatures for a resolution that would urge a so-called “Queen of the
Hill” debate on the House floor. In that very rare form of debate, legislators
could debate several alternative immigration bills, and the most
popular proposal would be sent to the Senate
Those rules would almost guarantee a big win for Zuckerberg and
his allies because nearly all Democrats and many business-first Republicans —
including many who are retiring this year — will support a no-strings “Clean
Dream Act” amnesty for at least 1.8 million younger ‘DACA’ illegals.
Denham claims to have 50
GOP legislators backing his resolution, but those GOP members have not
signed the needed “discharge petition” which allows 218 cooperating legislators
to force the debate despite opposition from the Speaker of the House. Many of
Denham’s supporters don’t recognize the impact of Denham’s plan, said Jenks,
and “when
they find out, they are not going to be happy and will certainly not sign the
discharge.”’
Denham’s office did not respond to questions from Breitbart
News.
McCarthy’s quick opposition to Denham’s push is critical because
he is the likely replacement for exiting House Speaker Paul Ryan. Without
McCarthy’s support for the immigration push, few of the GOP legislators on
Denham’s resolution will sign the needed discharge petition — even though many
will use their support for the resolution to ingratiate themselves with their
donors and pro-amnesty voters.
Denham’s resolution is
getting expensive media support from the various donors who are working under
cover of the Koch advocacy network, which has at least 550 business donors. On April 17. Daniel Garza, the
president of the Koch-funded LIBRE Initiative, told Business Insider:
The American people deserve a government that is effective and
efficient in solving our nation’s problems.
Congress and the White House have spent a lot of time talking
about DACA, but today our elected officials have yet to approve a permanent
legislative solution. The Dreamers are among our best and
brightest. They are students, workers, and men and women risking their
lives in the Armed Forces. Washington must come together and approve a
bipartisan solution that provides certainty for Dreamers and security
improvements along our border.
Zuckerberg’s FWD.us advocacy
group is also providing direct support for the Denham push, and it touted
Wednesday’s press conference where Denham was flanked by a few other
cheap-labor Republicans — Texas Rep. Will Hurd, Colorado Rep. Mike Coffman and California Rep. David Valadao – as
well as the Democratic head of the Hispanic ethnic lobby, new Mexico
Democrat Rep. Michelle Lujan
Grisham.
NOW and NEW: 50 Republicans join over 180
Republicans for the “Queen of the Hill” Rule to try to force a debate/series of
votes for Dreamers.
Zuckerberg’s FWD.us group was founded a by a slew of information-technology
investors who gain from cheap white-collar labor.
The group has endorsed multiple bills and amnesties which would raise the supply of white-collar labor and also block Donald
Trump’s populist “Buy American, Hire American” policies, all of which will tend
to raise Americans’ blue-collar wages and white-collar salaries. In February,
FWD.us joined with many other business groups to help the Senate block Trump’s
popular immigration reforms.
Since Trump’s election, the
FWD.us group has used the relatively few college-grad ‘DACA’ illegals to
shift the political focus from Trump’s very popular wages-for-Americans pitch.
That diversionary tactic has worked, partly because most establishment
reporters prefer to focus on the concerns of foreign migrants rather than the
concerns of fellow Americans.
However, Republicans are
facing a tough 2018 election and may decide to pick up the issue up
the popular issue of immigration and wages, especially if McCarthy replacesHouse Speaker Paul Ryan before the election.
That shift to wages and
immigration is made likelier by the spreading benefits of Trump’s anti-amnesty
policies which is delivering higher wages and overtime to many employees, including black bakers in Chicago, Latino restaurant workers in Monterey, Calif., disabled people in Missouri, high-schoolers, the construction industry, Superbowl workers, the garment industry, and workers employed at small businesses.
Higher wages are strongly resisted by business groups, partly
because they threaten to lower investors’ returns and stock values on Wall
Street, including the founders of FWD.us.
Zuckerberg’s group
has funded polls which tout the supposed popularity of
immigration. These “Nation of Immigrants” polls pressure Americans to say
they welcome migrants.
In contrast, polls which ask
people to pick a priority, or to decide which options are fair, show that voters in the polling booth
put a high priority on
helping their families and fellow nationals get decent jobs in a high-tech, high-immigration, low-wage economy.
Also, a series of 2018 polls
and surveys show that GOP voters believe the immigration issue is far more important than celebrating tax cuts.
Four million Americans turn 18 each year and begin looking for
good jobs in the free market. But the federal government inflates the supply of
new labor by annually accepting roughly 1.1 million new legal immigrants,
by providing work-permits to roughly 3 million resident foreigners, and by
doing little to block the employment of roughly 8 million illegal immigrants.
The Washington-imposed
economic policy of economic growth via mass-immigration shifts wealth from
young people towards older people, it floods the market with foreign labor, spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor
offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees. It also drives up real estate prices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines at
least 5 million marginalized Americans and their families, including many who
are now struggling with opioid addictions.
