The Washington-imposed economic policy of economic growth via mass-immigration shifts wealth from young people towards older people by flooding the market with foreign labor. That process spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees. The policy 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.

GOP Megadonors Go on Strike, Say Speaker Ryan Must OK Amnesty Vote
A large group of NeverTrump investors and cheap-labor CEO donors are promising to go on strike until House Speaker Paul Ryan schedules passage of a cheap-labor amnesty for June 25.
The bipartisan group, which is titled the American Business Immigration Council, is led by Mike Fernandez, a healthcare executive in Florida. He wants Ryan to keep the House in session on June 25 so the alliance of 193 Democrats and 25-plus cheap-labor Republicans can pass a discharge-petition amnesty through the House — despite many polls showing any amnesty is very unpopular among GOP voters.
The pressure is on Ryan because the amnesty vote cannot happen if he simply declares the House will not be in session on June 25.
Fernandez told Politico:
No one should have the authority to prohibit a debate on the House floor … And that is exactly what Speaker Ryan has done in the House. I have been a supporter of Speaker Ryan, I think he’s playing chicken and needs to get a backbone.
“Over the last 10 years, the Republican Party has received $47 million from me, in state, gubernatorial and party contributions,” Fernandez told Politico. “I’m not writing one penny to any of them anymore.”
The demand comes six months after GOP voters and legislators provided a huge tax-cut to CEOs, investors, and donors.
Ryan has scheduled a meeting of the GOP House members on June 7, Thursday, to talk about the widening split in the party between the vast majority of the GOP’s blue-collar and white-collar voters, and the alliance of amnesty-discharge Republicans and bipartisan cheap-labor donors,
The amnesty-discharge Republicans include members from several districts which now have a large share of Democrat-voting Latinos who were imported by the agriculture industry and were made citizens by the establishment’s prior amnesties in 1986, 1990 and 1996. The group also includes several GOP members who represent agricultural districts which rely on cheap guest-workers to run low-technology dairy farms.
One of the group’s leaders, GOP Rep. Jeff Denham, admits the push for amnesty and citizenship is a risky vote before the November election. He told the New York Times:
There have been some critics who say that this [discharge-petition strategy] could cost us our majority. My concern is if we do nothing, it could cost us our majority. So yes, it’s risky.
Another leader, Florida Rep. Chris Curbelo, says he wants federal immigration policy to serve the interests of business, not of ordinary Americans. He told the Washington Post that “the party should stand for an immigration system that complements our economy.”
But voters strongly oppose another amnesty giveaway to employers and they made that view clear when they backed Donald Trump in the 2016 election.
North Carolina’s conservative Rep. Mark Meadows predicted the discharge-petition group will get enough signatures for a vote, but will not get a bill signed into law, Fox News reported Tuesday. “I fully anticipate the discharge petition will be hitting 218 … [but] if we allow [the amnesty vote] to happen, it will not become law,” said Meadows, who is chairman of the House Freedom Caucus.
Several GOP factions are debating a potential compromise but have “identified potential roadblocks,” he said. He told Fox that “if it was an easy issue, it would have been dealt with decades ago.”
President Trump says he wants Congress to pass his four-part immigration-law reform, not just a no-strings amnesty. “I think it’s time to get the whole package,” Trump told Fox News’ anchor Brian Kilmeade in May. “It’s time to get the whole package … We’re going to change the system — we have no choice for the good of our country.”
Moreover, Trump’s lower-immigration policies are forcing U.S. employers to compete for American workers in the high-pressure economy, mostly by raising voters’ wages before the November election. The rising wages are helping raise Trump’s political ratings and the GOP’s generic-ballot score before the November election.
On June 5, Trump’s economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, applauded the rising wages:
It’s very clear that the President’s economic policies are working. But I think that the most important thing is that they’re working for America’s workers; that America’s workers are being laid off at the lowest pace that we’ve ever seen, and wage growth, which we didn’t include in the chart, is also taking off as well …wage growth right now … is the highest it’s been going all the way back at least to 2006.
Trump’s policies have delivered higher wages to African-American bakers in Chicago, Latino restaurant workers in Monterey, Calif., disabled people in Missouri, high schoolers, resort workers in Hilton Head, the construction industry, Superbowl workers, the garment industry, and workers at small businesses, and even Warren Buffett’s railroad workers.
But those rising wages are also pushing the donors, CEO and investors to demand yet more millions of migrants to help flood the labor market and minimize wage growth.
The new arrivals would add to the existing population of 33 million legal immigrants and 11 million illegal immigrants, the annual inflow of 1 million-plus legal immigrants, and the resident workforce of roughly 3 million foreign temporary workers, such as H-1B white-collar workers.
Fernandez’s amnesty-demand complements the pro-amnesty demands by other GOP donors, including the Koch brothers’ network of GOP donors, hotel-investor Fred Malek’s Congressional Leadership Fund, and various NeverTrump activists.
In 2016, Fernandez backed pro-amnesty Gov. Jeb Bush, and then backed Sen. Hillary Clinton. In April, he helped block approval of a mandatory E-Verify amendment on the Florida ballot.
In May 2017, the Miami Herald reported Fernandez’s view that the United States exists for a pro-migration mission, not for the benefit of American citizens:
Fernandez, 64, cuts a colorful figure in local politics. A major backer of Republican Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign, Fernandez vowed to support Democrat Hillary Clinton over Trump. He paid for anti-Trump newspaper ads during the campaign — prompting a lawsuit threat from a Trump attorney — and endorsed and fundraised for Clinton …“We are a great nation, and we should be able to overcome this issue with the facts, economic facts,” Fernandez said. “We’re a country that’s united by an idea … and the idea is, we were all coming from a different place. It was that idea that accidentally proved that diversity makes for great nations.”
That ideological view is largely shared by Speaker Ryan, who is slated to retire in January.
Another ABIC board member, Norman Braman, used his car-sales fortune to back amnesty-advocate Sen. Marco Rubio in 2016.
The group also includes Penny Pritzker, a real-estate owner who funded former President Barack Obama’s 2008 race and served as his Secretary of Commerce from June 2013 to January 2017, plus John Rowe, a former chairman of an Illinois energy company who has loudly announced in May his threat to cut off donations.
The business group frankly states that it wants more migrants to serve as consumers and workers:
ABIC promotes sensible immigration reform that supports the economy of the United States, provides American companies with both the high-skilled and low-skilled talent they need, and allows the integration of immigrants into our economy as consumers, workers, entrepreneurs and citizens.
Immigrants are a huge federal subsidy for business because their consumer spending on autos, rent, food and much else is augmented by taxpayer-funded aid programs, such as food stamps, Section 8 rental vouchers, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and government education spending. In 2016, the National Academies of Science estimated an annual cost of almost $60 billion to state and local taxpayers.
The ABIC website says that 15 percent of the DACA illegals have bought a house and 65 percent have bought a vehicle.
The group wants an amnesty for the 700,000 DACA illegals, plus all 11 million illegals now in the United, and it also wants an unending and unlimited inflow of more wage-cutting blue-collar and white-collar workers. It demands:
opportunities for immigrants and foreign students to enter the U.S. and our workforce legally, attracting and keeping the best, the brightest, and the hard working … a streamlined process to legal employment [for new migrants], ensuring we do not face the same challenges in the future … Establish a path to citizenship or legal status for the “DREAMers” and undocumented adult workers currently living in the United States, to leverage their talent and to facilitate their complete integration as consumers, workers, and entrepreneurs.
The inflow of immigrant workers shifts roughly $500 billion a year in reduced salaries from competing employees up to CEOs and investors, according to the National Academies’ 2016 report.
Politico noted the identities of several other CEOs in Fernandez’s group:
Dr. Zachariah Zachariah of the University of Miami Health System; Coastal Construction CEO Tom Murphy Jr.; Century Homebuilders Group CEO Sergio Pino; Carnival Cruise Lines former CEO Bob Dickinson; and Enrique Sosa, a retired senior vice president of Dow Chemical Company.
Wages in the construction and homebuilding industries are gently rising, partly because the sector lost hundreds of thousands of cheap migrant construction-workers in the 2008 crash. The migrants had been hired because they were cheaper than hiring and training millions of Americans from the Midwest states which were damaged by NAFTA and globalization.
Amnesty advocates rely on business-funded “Nation of Immigrants” push-polls to show apparent voter support for immigration and immigrants.
But “choice” polls reveal most voters’ often-ignored preference that CEOs should hire Americans at decent wages before hiring migrants. Those Americans include many blue-collar Blacks, Latinos, and people who hide their opinions from pollsters. Similarly, the 2018 polls show that GOP voters are far more concerned about migration — more properly, the economics of migration — than they are concerned about illegal migration and MS-13, taxes, or the return of Rep. Nancy Pelosi.
Four million Americans turn 18 each year and begin looking for good jobs in the free market.
The Washington-imposed economic policy of economic growth via mass-immigration shifts wealth from young people towards older people by flooding the market with foreign labor. That process spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees. The policy 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.
Illegal aliens are increasing
Prosecutions deter illegal immigration, avoiding the dangers for families

Excerpt: The government recently said it would prosecute aliens entering illegally, even those traveling with children. This seemingly harsh policy actually protects foreign nationals.
Illegal entry is a crime. Prosecuting illegal entrants deters it. Deterrence avoids the dangers of smuggling, as women and children “often find themselves at risk for assault and abuse such as rape, beatings, kidnapping and robbery” at smugglers’ hands, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Americans: Overlooked and Underpaid
Without considering the needs of his fellow Americans, an activist farmer in Michigan is calling for blanket amnesty on behalf of illegal aliens. His call stems from a lack of American citizens applying for open positions on his farm.
“I spend thousands of dollars every year advertising my job openings, but few Americans reply,” wrote Fred Leitz for the Michigan newspaper The Herald-Palladium. “Those I do hire usually leave after a few weeks, because they find the work too hard.”
This statement by Mr. Leitz, former chairman of the National Council of Agricultural Employers (NCAE), contains a flaw. Americans don’t typically leave jobs simply because they are too hard, they leave because they are underpaid for the work they are doing. If a job offering a fair market wage was presented, it would attract more American workers. With a higher pay, more Americans will stay.
Faced with an alleged lack of workers, Mr. Leitz said he resorted to the H-2A visa program, which allowed him to bring in 160 workers from Mexico.
“First, if an American with agricultural experience shows up asking for a job, I’m required to send an H-2A worker home and hire the American,” he wrote. “And without fail, that American quits shortly after.”
Raising the wages of farmhands up by 40 percent would only increase the price of a pound of produce by four cents. Most Americans wouldn’t mind this increase if it meant their fellow citizens found gainful employment.
Mr. Leitz also said he has to pay approximately $1,600 per immigrant worker for their housing, transportation, and visa when he brings them to the U.S. This is money that could be used to pay Americans a better wage.
Employees at Mr. Leitz’s farm were only guaranteed $11.56 per hour for general labor in 2015, according to a job posting. While Mr. Leitz quit advertising his farm positions by name in 2018, a job opening with the exact same address now pays $13.06 per hour. According to the Department of Labor, unless they fall within an exemption, employers who hire H-2A workers and citizens must pay everyone at least the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR), which is considered the minimum fair wage for agriculture work. In Michigan, that is $13.06 per hour. So Mr. Leitz is paying just enough to avoid trouble. Not only that, his employees have to work Monday through Saturday.
Mr. Leitz said he doesn’t hire illegal aliens, but he does “wish we could turn the undocumented workers into a legal workforce.” After encouraging our government to let illegal aliens work, he also called for a path to citizenship for the illegal aliens in Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
We have a historic precedent that demonstrates that amnesty would not solve Mr. Leitz’s self-induced problem. In 1986 Congress enacted a special amnesty for illegal aliens who had (or claimed to have) worked in agriculture. The result? These newly legalized workers promptly left their poor paying agricultural jobs for better paying jobs in other sectors of the economy, only to be replaced by the next wave of illegal aliens.
Inevitably, the viability of American agriculture will depend on capital investment in mechanization or in paying lawfully present workers a fair wage, not endless amnesties for illegal aliens who are willing to accept the industry’s substandard wages and working conditions.

E-Verify Ignored in DACA Negotiations Because ‘Members of Congress Know It Will Work’
Members of Congress broadly oppose a legislative nationwide E-Verify mandate for employers because “they know it will work,” said NumbersUSA’s Rosemary Jenks, explaining why E-Verify is not being pushed in congressional negotiations for an amnesty deal for recipients of the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Jenks further noted that both parties are beholden to special interests supportive of “mass migration.”

HISPANICAZATION of AMERICA… first ease millions of illegals over our borders and into our voting booths!
How the Democrat party surrendered America to Mexico:
“The watchdogs at Judicial Watch discovered documents that reveal how the Obama administration's close coordination with the Mexican government entices Mexicans to hop over the fence and on to the American dole.” Washington Times
The “zero tolerance” program was dismantled by Attorney General Erc Holder once it had successfully cut the transit of migrants by roughly 95 percent. Initially, officials made 140,000 arrests per year in the mid-2000s, but the northward flow dropped so much that officials only had to make 6,000 arrests in 2013, according to a 2014 letter by two pro-migration Senators, Sen. Jeff Flake and John McCain.
“The cost of the Dream Act is far bigger than the Democrats or their media allies admit. Instead of covering 690,000 younger illegals now enrolled in former President Barack Obama’s 2012 “DACA” amnesty, the Dream Act would legalize at least 3.3 million illegals, according to a pro-immigration group, the Migration Policy Institute.”
PARTNERS WITH MEXICO:
The LA RAZA DEMOCRAT PARTY and the PRO-BUSINESS GOP to keep wages for LEGALS depressed (today they are depressed to 1973 levels).
But you will still get the tax bills for the Mex welfare state and crime tidal wave!

“Illegal aliens are not supposed to work, and knowingly providing shelter for illegal aliens can be construed as harboring and shielding, elements of a felony under federal law, Title 8 U.S. Code § 1324.”
“Where aliens and jobs are concerned, even many categories of nonimmigrant aliens (temporary visitors) including aliens who lawfully enter under the Visa Waiver Program or with tourist visas may not work in the United States and immediately become subject to removal (deportation) if they seek gainful employment.” ----MICHAEL CUTLER – FRONTPAGE mag
Chain Migration from DACA Amnesty Could Import Foreign Population Twice the Size of Los Angeles
The Republican establishment and Democrats’ plan to pass an amnesty for young illegal aliens would likely import a foreign population to the United States that is twice the size of Los Angeles, California.
As House and Senate Republicans, Democrats, the big business lobby, the cheap labor industry, and the open borders lobby have teamed up to push an amnesty for potentially millions of illegal aliens who are enrolled and eligible for the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, the impact on legal immigration from such a plan would be unprecedented.
The current U.S. legal immigration system allows for newly naturalized citizens to bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S. This process, known as “chain migration,” makes up more than 70 percent of all legal immigration to the country.
Research by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) reveals that a DACA amnesty deal would give amnesty to anywhere between 800,000 to 3.5 million illegal aliens. Of those, MPI notes that 1.5 million of the estimated 3.5 million would be allowed to obtain U.S. citizenship.
Princeton University researchers Stacie Carr and Marta Tienda have found that newly naturalized Mexican immigrants in the U.S. bring an average of six foreign relatives with them. Therefore, should all 1.5 million amnestied illegal aliens bring six relatives each to the U.S., that would constitute a total chain migration of 9 million new foreign nationals entering the U.S.
The importation of roughly 9 million foreign nationals triggered by a DACA amnesty would be more than twice the population of Los Angeles, California, where about 3.9 million residents live.
Currently, the foreign-born population is already at historic levels, reaching 44 million in 2016 with no end in sight as legal immigration reductions to give relief to America’s working and middle-classes are stalled in the Republican-controlled Congress.
President Trump has recently reiterated that an amnesty deal for DACA illegal aliens would have to include an end on chain migration in order to stop surges of legal immigration to the U.S.
Recent polling has revealed that the vast majority of likely GOP voters say they want legal immigration cut in at least half, with more voters supporting zero immigration to the U.S. than current immigration levels where the U.S. imports about 1.5 million immigrants a year.
