JUDD APATOW DECLARES AT BETO O'ROURKE FUNDRAISER THAT PAYING LIVING WAGES TO LEGALS IS AGAINST THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'S DOCTRINE OF OPEN BORDERS AND NO LEGAL NEED APPLY!

Hollywood super-producer Judd Apatow has announced that he is parachuting into Texas to headline a fundraising event for left-wing Democrat Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke.

The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Girls producer announced his participation in the September 20 and 27 events on Twitter.
“Come to @LargoLosAngeles on 9-20 for our benefit for @WhenWeAllVote and 9-27 for our benefit for Beto O’Rourke. Amazing surprise guests! Tix at http://juddapatow.com/tour,” Apatow wrote this week.
Apatow’s event with O’Rourke comes as the Senate hopeful faces intense backlash for telling a town hall audience member who questioned his support for illegal immigration that illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico are today’s cotton pickers.
O’Rourke also compared America’s law enforcement to “Jim Crow” — the Democrat-backed laws that kept black Americans racially segregated and in a sort of virtual slavery.
O’Rourke told the Prairie View A&M University audience:
“Talking about criminal justice reform, let’s talk about where this problem started. When contractors needed labor, they would talk to local law enforcement who would arrest African-Americans for idling, for petty crimes, frivolous offenses. Those contractors would describe the number of bodies that they needed and law enforcement would provide those bodies. And when they look at the remains in that graveyard, they see evidence of muscles literally torn from the bone, people being worked to death in these convict chain gangs, people who became convicts solely by dint of the color of their skin, in a system that was radically unjust, following what we thought was the end of that injustice at the end of the Civil War.”
Indeed, Apatow is not the first member of the Hollywood elite to tout O’Rourke’s candidacy.
Last month, when a video of O’Rourke’s explanation of how he thinks that protesting against the country during the national anthem was the “most American thing” anyone could do, many Hollywood liberals suddenly stood up for O’Rourke’s campaign.
One of the first to praise the Democrat was comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres who immediately booked O’Rourke for her TV show.
Also, despite a litany of upset fans, country music star Willie Nelson tarnished his Texas star in the minds of many by announcing that he was set to headline a concert fundraiser for the liberal Democrat.
Several other La La Land denizens also jumped to the Democrat’s support after his anthem protesting video wowed liberals everywhere.
O’Rourke’s left-wing Hollywood supporters include actress Rosie O’Donnell, Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson, 22 Jump Street director Phil Lord, former talk show host Chelsea Handler, producer Joe Rogen, and more.

AMNESTY: THE HOAX TO KEEP WAGES FOR LEGALS DEPRESSED!

 "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
*
“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”…. Tom Barrett 

Poll Showing O’Rourke Leads Cruz by 2 in Texas Senate Race an Outlier Using Different Methodology


Cruz vs Beto O'Rourke

A poll released Wednesday by Reuters/Ipsos/University of Virginia Polling Center showing Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) leads incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) by two points is an outlier that used a significantly different methodology from other polls that show Cruz in the lead.

According to the Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Poll of likely voters in Texas, O’Rourke leads Cruz, 47 percent to 45 percent.
The Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Poll results stand in marked contrast to the Quinnipiac University Poll released on Tuesday, which shows Cruz with a nine point lead over O’Rourke, 54 percent to 45 percent, as well as the current Real Clear Politics Average of Polls, which shows Cruz with a 4.5 percent lead.
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Chris Jackson, vice president of Ipsos, which conducted the Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Poll of Texas likely voters for Reuters and the University of Virginia Polling Center, agreed with the characterization that the poll results were an outlier.
“Both polls are outliers,” he said, referring to the Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Poll released Wednesday and the Quinnipiac Poll released on Tuesday.
He pointed out that most other recent polls show a very close race, with Cruz leading by just two to four points.
“This race is a toss-up,” Jackson added.
Ipsos described the methodology the Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Poll of the Senate race in Texas in this topline summary:
These are findings from an Ipsos poll conducted September 6 – September 14, 2018 on behalf of Thomson Reuters and the University of Virginia Center for Politics. For the survey, a sample of roughly 2,000 adults age 18+ from Texas were interviewed online in English. The sample includes 992 likely voters, 423 likely voter Democrats, 463 likely voter Republicans, and 90 likely voter Independents.
The Quinnipiac Poll described the methodology used in its poll of the Texas Senate race in this statement that accompanied the release of the poll:
From September 11 – 17, Quinnipiac University surveyed 807 Texas likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 4.1 percentage points, including the design effect. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.
There are four major differences in the methodologies used by the two polls whose results differ so dramatically:
(1) The Ipsos Poll was conducted online, while the Quinnipiac Poll was conducted by live interviewers over landlines and cell phones.
(2) The Ipsos Poll was conducted over a nine day period, while the Quinnipiac Poll was conducted over a seven day period. Most polls are conducted over a three to four day period in order to grab a “snapshot” of attitudes during a specific period of time.
(3) The Ipsos Poll interviewed all adults, then screened out those adults who are not registered to vote or are not likely to vote. The Quinnipiac Poll only interviewed likely voters.
(4) The Ipsos Poll over sampled Hispanic voters and under sampled White voters, when compared to actual 2016 voting behavior in Texas.
One difference between the two polls is in the weighting methodology they use for respondents by ethnic group/race.
Jackson told Breitbart News that Hispanic voters comprised 23 percent of the weighted sample of the 992 likely voters included in the poll showing O’Rourke with a two point lead. Jackson added that 32 percent of the larger sample of 2,000 adults over the age of 18 interviewed for the poll were Hispanic.
“The Reuters/Ipsos/UVA poll was conducted online, in English, from Sept. 5 to 17. It surveyed between 992 and 1,039 people in each of five states including California and weighted the responses according to the latest government population estimates,” the Reuters article announcing the poll results on Wednesday reported.
White voters comprised 58 percent of the weighted sample, Black voters comprised 13 percent, and “Other” comprised six percent.
Citing U.S. Census Bureau data, the Texas Tribune reported the following voter turnout for the 2016 presidential election by ethnic group/race:
  • White–62.0 percent (5,905,000 total votes)
  • Hispanic–20.3 percent (1,938,000 total votes)
  • Black–14.1 percent (1,349,000 total votes)
  • Asian–3.5 percent (338,000)
  • 9,530,000 total votes
The Ipsos Poll under sampled White voters by four percent, compared to actual 2016 voter turnout, and over sampled Hispanic voters by three percent compared to actual 2016 voter turnout.
This is significant, because the Ipsos Poll showed O’Rourke with a 37 point lead over Cruz among Hispanics (64 percent to 27 percent), dramatically different from the nine point lead the Quinnipiac Poll showed O’Rourke had over Cruz (54 percent to 45 percent).
Jackson told Breitbart News that the Ipsos Poll of likely voters in the Texas Senate race showed the following head-to-head matchup results by ethnic group/race:
  • Ted Cruz leads Beto O’Rourke by a 60 percent to 33 percent margin among White likely voters.
  • Beto O’Rourke leads Ted Cruze by a 64 percent to 27 percent margin among Hispanic likely voters.
  • Beto O’Rourke leads Ted Cruz by a 78 percent to 14 percent margin among Black likely voters.
  • Ted Cruz leads Beto O’Rourke by a 47 percent to 44 percent margin among “Other” likely voters.
In the Quinnipiac Poll:
  • Ted Cruz leads Beto O’Rourke by a 66 percent to 32 percent margin among White likely voters.
  • Beto O’Rourke leads Ted Cruz by a 54 percent to 45 percent margin among Hispanic likely voters.
  • Beto O’Rourke leads Ted Cruz by a 97 percent to 3 percent margin among Black likely voters.
Though Hispanics comprised 39 percent of the total population of Texas in 2014, according to Pew Research, they accounted for only 20 percent of votes cast in Texas in the 2016 presidential election.
That same year, in 2014, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 48 percent of the voting age population in Texas was White, 35 percent was Hispanic, 12 percent was Black, and five percent was Asian.
Hispanic turnout in the 2016 presidential election in Texas, and for a number of previous elections in Texas, has been dramatically lower than White turnout and Black turnout. In 2016, for instance White voter turnout in Texas was slightly higher than 60 percent, Black voter turnout in Texas was slightly lower than 60 percent, and Hispanic voter turnout was 40 percent.
Breitbart News asked the Quinnipiac Poll to provide their demographic breakdown of poll respondents by ethnic group/race used in the recent Quinnipiac Poll of the Texas Senate race, but has not received a response. However, it appears that the weighting methodology for ethnic group/race used in the Quinnipiac Poll results showing Cruz with a nine point lead is very close to the actual voting behavior during the 2016 presidential election in Texas.
The Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Poll results released for polls conducted in the other four states were more in line with the current Real Clear Politics Average of Polls.
In the California Senate race, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) leads challenger Kevin Leon by 20 points, 44 percent to 24 percent among likely voters. Thirty-nine percent of the population of California in 2014 was Hispanic, the same percentage as in Texas, according to Pew Research.
In the Arizona Senate race, Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) leads Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ) by three points, 47 percent to 44 percent among likely voters, which is 1.5 points higher than the current Real Clear Politics Average of Polls, which gives her a 1.5 point lead. Thirty-one percent of the population of Arizona in 2014 was Hispanic, according to Pew Research.
In the Nevada Senate race, Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) leads Rep. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) by three points, 46 percent to 43 percent among likely voters, which is different from the current Real Clear Politics Average of Polls, which gives Rosen a lead of less than one percent. Twenty-eight percent of the population of Nevada in 2014 was Hispanic, according to Pew Research.
In the Florida Senate race Republican Gov. Rick Scott leads incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) by one point, 46 percent to 45 percent, almost exactly the same as the 1.6 point lead he has in the current Real Clear Politics Average of Polls. Twenty-four percent of the population of Florida in 2014 was Hispanic, according to Pew Research.

Watch–Beto O’Rourke to Black American: Illegal Immigrant Labor Needed for Cotton Gin





During a town hall event on Wednesday night, Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) — running against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for the Senate seat — told a black American who questioned his support of illegal immigration that illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico are today’s cotton pickers.

O’Rourke’s remarks were made after a black American asked the congressman if he supported illegal aliens being given U.S. citizenship despite breaking the country’s immigration laws. O’Rourke responded by saying that it is illegal aliens who are working at cotton gins today.
The exchange went as follows:
BLACK AMERICAN: My question is, do you support granting citizenship and American-paid benefits to illegal aliens who violated our country to come here, who fly their foreign flags here, who have citizenship in their countries and whose families did absolutely not build this country, while black people are subject to things that you explained before? You can answer yes or no, please. [Emphasis added]
BETO O’ROURKEMany, many people built this country, first of all. And we are a country of many people … and I’m paraphrasing Congressman Lewis at this point, but he said something to the effect that each of us came to this country in a different ship. Some of us came here against our will, some of us immigrated here lawfully … some of us are showing up right now as we speak. They’re fleeing the deadliest countries in the planet today. The northern triangle countries of Central America … imagine how bad things have to be for you to scoop up that six-month-old daughter of yours and to walk 2,000 miles … to refuge in a country that is comprised of people from the world over. And yes, there are some people who did not follow our laws when they came here to be with their families or to work jobs and, in some cases, no one was willing to work in their communities. [Emphasis added]
I mentioned going to the high school in Roscoe, I also went to the cotton gin in Roscoe. And at that cotton gin, there are 24 jobs and the manager of that gin says it does not matter the wages that I pay or the number of hours that we set … no one born in Roscoe … or Texas or this country who is willing to work. But there are immigrants who are coming from Central America or Mexico or other parts of the world to Roscoe to work these jobs and to help build our economy. [Emphasis added]
O’Rourke recently said in an interview on CBS The Late Show, that he supported an amnesty for more than three million illegal aliens who were eligible and enrolled for President Obama’s DACA program.
“We can free DREAMers from the fear of deportation by making them U.S. citizens today, so they can contribute to their maximum capacity, to their full potential,” O’Rourke said.
Mass low-skilled illegal and legal immigration has come at the expense of America’s black working and middle-class communities and workers.
Data reported by Breitbart News reveals how studies by economists and researchers find that it is, specifically, underprivileged black American men who suffer the most from the importation of more than 1.5 million low-skilled immigrants every year to the U.S.
In the mid-1990s, Civil Rights icon and Texas Democratic Congresswoman Barbara Jordan issued the findings of her immigration commission, where she revealed that mass immigration to the U.S. hurt poor, working-class and lower-tier middle-class Americans the most, as it unfairly put them in competition with a never-ending flow of cheaper, foreign workers.
Most impacted, the Jordan Commission discovered, were black Americans.
Portraying foreign nationals as the only willing blue-collar workers in the U.S. is a talking point often used by the open borders lobby, the Business Roundtable, and both political establishments.
O’Rourke’s suggestion that Americans are unwilling to do blue-collar jobs is not backed up by data collected and analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies.
Researcher Steven Camarota has found that of the more than 460 American occupations he analyzed, only four were dominated by foreign-born workers. Those four occupations accounted for less than one percent of the total U.S. workforce.
Many American blue-collar workers pick cotton, often in very high temperatures, using American-made machinery, such as this cotton harvesting machine used in north Alabama:
For blue-collar American workers, mass immigration has not only kept wages down but in many cases, decreased wages, as Breitbart News reported. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues importing more foreign nationals against whom working-class Americans are forced to compete. In 2016, the U.S. brought in about 1.8 million mostly low-skilled immigrants.
Black Americans are often the most supportive of reducing immigration levels. A Harvard/Harris Poll conducted this year found that 48 percent of black Americans said they would like to see between only one and 250,000 legal immigrants brought to the U.S. a year, a near immigration moratorium when compared to current levels.
A CBS News/YouGov Poll conducted a few months ago revealed that a plurality of black Americans in swing districts who say immigration has changed their neighborhoods concede that immigration is making life in America “worse” for them.
About 36 percent of black Americans said immigration has changed their communities, and roughly 45 percent of those black Americans say the mass importation of mostly immigrants from Central America is making their lives worse off.

CALIFORNIA and the RISE OF THE LA RAZA MEXICAN FASCIST WELFARE STATE

http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2018/08/they-invading-horde-waving-their.html


"The costs of illegal immigration are being carefully hidden by Democrats."


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.


"The public schools indoctrinate their young charges to hate this country and the rule of law. Illegal aliens continue overwhelming the state, draining California’s already depleted public services while endangering our lives, the rule of law, and public safety for all citizens."


CHILLING COSTS OF ILLEGAL ALIEN MIGRATION



By Frosty Wooldridge
November 9, 2004
NewsWithViews.com

In 2003, according to the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles, 57,600 cars were stolen in Phoenix. It is now the car-jacking capital of the world. Most were SUV�s and pickup trucks. At a conservative average of $15,000.00 per vehicle, owner losses exceeded $864 million. Insurance companies in the state suffered incredible claims from policyholders.

Worse, how would you like to walk out of your home or business to see your car gone? Imagine the hassle, violation of your hard work and disrespect for your well being.

Where did those vehicles go? Who stole them? Take a guess. Arizona is the temporary home of 500,000 illegal aliens. They cost Arizona taxpayers over $1 billion annually in services for schools, medical care, welfare anchor babies, loss of tax base and prisons. Illegals use those vehicles for smuggling more people and drugs from around the world into our country. When the vehicles are recovered, they are smashed-up wrecks in the desert. If not found, they have new owners south of the border as thieves drive the cars through the desert and into Mexico as easily as you drive your kids to soccer practice. THATs how porous our borders are!

The chilling costs of illegal migration reach like an octopus into every aspect of our lives. 

Illegal aliens displaced American workers at a cost in excess of $133 billion dollars last year according to Harvard Professor George Borjas. College and high school kids cannot find a summer job in yard care, landscape, fast food or service jobs. Why? Illegal aliens work them at a third the wage and often, under the table.

Not only do your kids not have jobs; you're paying taxes for illegal aliens who are not paying taxes.

Annually, 75 percent of drugs arrive from Mexico at a net cost of $120 billion hard currency that leaves our country for good. In addition, our tax dollars pay $80 billion for the War on Drugs each year. It is a war that hasn�t been won in the past 30 years and drugs are as available today to your teenager as they were in 1970.

When an alien criminal gets caught for rape, murder or drug distribution, you pay $1.6 billion annually in prison costs to house, feed and clothe those filling 30 percent of our federal and state prisons not to mention TV, movies, weight rooms and other entertainment they enjoy while being incarcerated.

Is your blood boiling at this point? How about illegal alien anchor babies? Over 300,000 women annually arrive pregnant and drop them on U.S. soil. You pay food, housing, medical and schooling for them to age 18 PLUS their mother. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, average annual cost per child K-12 is $7,161.00 and exceeds $109 billion annually per cycle of anchor babies. That your money given out to 300,000 moms and their kids annually and all they did was get pregnant and birth that child on U.S. soil.


If you haven't had a heart attack by now, you'll need Tums after this figure. The average head of household illegal alien costs you $2,700.00 in welfare money over and above any taxes he or she pays in their meager paying jobs. With 15 to 20 million illegal aliens in the USA, that figures exceeds $20 billion of your tax dollars. (Source: Center for Immigration Studies, August 2004)

How about the $56 billion in pure cash illegal migrants sent to their home countries last year and every year? That's after their kids enjoyed free education, free lunches and free medical care paid for by you. Mexico receives $15 billion annually from its worker drones. No wonder Vicente Fox sent us 9.2 million illegal alien Mexicans so far.

The lifetime net fiscal drain taxes paid minus services usedfor an adult immigrant is $55,200.00 according to Carrying Capacity Network. Who makes that money up? You do! Your work! Your taxes!

With a minimum of 15 million illegal aliens in our country, these figures are the tip of the iceberg. Average bilingual education is $1,200.00 per illegal alien student. Get this! We educate 1.1 million illegal alien children each year. Do the math! Ready for another anvil dropped on your toe fact? You paid $27 billion to provide forms, ballots, interpreters and brochures for languages other than English in 2003.

An estimated one-third to one-half illegal aliens work off the books. It costs $200 million to provide for emergency health care for illegal aliens in the Border States annually. California with over three million illegals paid $79 million, BUT four of their major LA hospitals bankrupted and shut their doors in 2004. Texas with 1.5 million illegal aliens paid $74 million in hospital care. Who is Texas? You, the taxpayer, that�s who! Because you, in your state, pay commensurate medical care according to your illegal alien population. Georgia ran a $63 million deficit for 64,000 unpaid doctor visits to their Grady Health Care system in 2002. In the same year, Georgia taxpayers paid $27 million for 11,188 anchor baby hospital births. Georgia taxpayers paid a whopping $242 million for educating illegal alien kids in 2003. What is it in your state?

What are the consequences? One in two adult African-Americans in New York is unemployed. African-American children�s poverty grew by 50 percent since 1999. Why? Their dads can�t find work.

It costs you, the taxpayer, $68 billion a year JUST to pay for the resettlement of legal immigrants.

Fellow Americans, we are $7.384 trillion in debt as of November 1, 2004. This year�s budget deficit exceeds $413 billion. Our trade deficit stands at $400 billion. Our consumer debt exceeds $2 trillion and our average credit card carries an $8,000.00 balance. Our U.S. government borrows $1.6 billion daily from foreign banks, just to stay afloat. Have you ever heard of the Titanic? We are taking on heavy immigration numbers while we�re being financially bled to death. Are we in trouble or what?

Who brings this fiscal nightmare into America? Take a guess. The majority of your Congress! President George W. Bush himself! Tom Ridge, who won�t guard our borders from this invasion, but gets his orders from Bush! Illegals are arriving at over 4,000 per night according to Time Magazine, September 12, 2004, "Who Left the Door Open?" I quote, "That total of illegal aliens flooding into the United States this year will total three million enough to fill 22,000 737 Boeing airliners, or 60 flights every day for a year." Don't you think with that many illegals crossing nightly that anyone with a brain would send troops to our border to protect from an invasion? Since we just re-elected the same Congress and president, you can expect more of the same.

You can count on your corporations devouring cheap labor as they send you to the unemployment lines. Additionally, they pay PAC groups to keep senators and congressmen in their back pocket. How do I know? Only 22 companies in 2003 were taken to court for hiring illegal aliens. None went to jail. However, it's a $10,000.00 fine per illegal alien hired and up to five years in prison. You would think that would deter corporations. Not when they've bought off enforcement!

Who else figures in this grand scheme? Your governors and mayors who provide sanctuary laws for illegal aliens! Mayor Bloomberg of New York City.

Governor Baldacci of Maine! Governor Bill Owens of Colorado! Mayor Hickenlooper of Denver! Mayor of Los Angeles! Mayor of San Francisco! Mayor of Chicago! Mayor of Miami! How do I know? All those cities and dozens more give sanctuary to illegal aliens with Special Order 40.

Illegals remain in our country with exemption from arrest, they are federal criminals!

Can you blame millions of desperate people for coming illegally to America? Hardly! Do you think they will stop coming since the world adds 80 million annually of poor, hopeless people from war torn, ravaged and impoverished Third World countries?

Not a chance! This is the land of free milk and honey. As long as our leaders allow the invasion and not enough Americans speak up, you can expect 12 million more illegal aliens in the next four years. Who pays for this invasion of your country? You do!

As a final note, if you're as sick of this nation-destroying dilemma as I am, go to my web site. I'll send you an action letter with 17 effective points to change our nation's suicidal course. Whatever your talent, you will become a part of this movement to save our country from this disaster being brought to us by our leaders. You may send that action email out to your friends and they can send it to their friends. As Americans we must link arms, hearts and minds to take action to preserve our country and force our leaders to stop this illegal immigration madness. It's called a consciousness shifting and it's going to take every one of us. That means everything you do, COUNTS!


U.S. Spends $90 Million to Help a few Dozen Afghan Women Get Jobs


The U.S. government has blown almost $90 million on a doomed project to help Afghan women enter the workforce with a big chunk of the money going to a Clinton-aligned “development” company that reaped big bucks from Uncle Sam while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.

The cash flows through the famously corrupt U.S. Agency of International Development (USAID), which is charged with providing global economic, development and humanitarian assistance. In this case USAID allocated $216 million to supposedly help tens of thousands of Afghan women get jobs and gain promotions over five years. Known as “Promoting Gender Equity in National Priority Programs,” the endeavor was launched in 2014 and tens of millions of dollars later it’s proven to be a major failure.

Someone must be pocketing the cash because the costly program has helped between zero and 60 women. This isn’t a joke, though it sounds like a bad one. All the dirty details are laid out in a scathing federal audit released this month by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR).

Investigators found that around 55 women got “new or better” jobs in three years and they can’t even fully credit the U.S.-backed program for the women’s prosperities. SIGAR writes that it found “multiple problems” in the program, including security, staffing and economic conditions in Afghanistan.

“In addition, SIGAR found that USAID/Afghanistan’s records on the contractors’ required deliverables were incomplete and inaccurate because the agency’s management did not give contracting officer’s representatives enough guidance on record keeping,” the report states. Of interesting note is that one of the biggest contracts went to a company, Chemonics International, with close ties to the Clintons. The Washington-based development firm was awarded $38 million, according to the figures included in the SIGAR report.

“Chemonics thrived during Clinton’s tenure, nabbing more contracts during the Haiti reconstruction effort than any other company,” a 2015 news report reveals. “Peter Schweizer noted the extensive Clinton connections to development failures in Haiti in his book, Clinton Cash.”

Here’s a nugget from this month’s SIGAR report that illustrates how poorly this boondoggle was planned by the government; even when the Afghan women complete the program, there are not jobs waiting for them. The audit reveals that the Afghan government won’t sustain the program, referred to as Promote, because it can’t hire all the graduates.

“It is also unclear whether the graduates will obtain jobs in the private sector in large numbers due to the country’s low projected economic growth rate,” the report states. “This raises questions about whether Promote is sustainable at all and could put USAID’s investment in the program in jeopardy.” So, the U.S. government is spending enormous amounts of taxpayer dollars to train women in a crime-infested, third-world country for jobs that don’t exist. Afghanistan has a poverty rate of 39.1 %, according to the World Bank, and an unemployment rate of 22.6%.

The security situation has worsened and civilian casualties are at their highest since 2002, with an unprecedented level of conflict-induced displacement.

Nevertheless, in the summer of 2013 the Obama administration announced it was launching the “largest women’s empowerment program in [USAID] history.” The goal was to advance opportunities for Afghan women to become political, private sector, and civil society leaders and to build upon existing and previous programs for women and girls. Of course, this requires a lot of money so the administration allocated the $216 million to get the job done.

The money was supposed to educate, promote and train a new generation of Afghan women in order to increase their contributions to the country’s development. “Promote strengthens women’s rights groups,” USAID proclaims, and boosts female participation in the economy while increasing the number of women in decision making positions within the Afghan government. It also helps women gain business and management skills. The SIGAR report identifies Promote as the “largest single investment to advance women globally.”

A few years ago, Judicial Watch reported on another scandalous USAID program aimed at helping women in Afghanistan escape repression. After spending a whopping $64.8 million on 652 projects, programs and initiatives, a federal audit determined lack of accountability and follow up made it impossible to know if they made a difference. That disastrous project was also funded by the departments of State and Defense and federal investigators found that none of the three agencies had effective mechanisms for tracking the funding associated with the projects.

TRUMP'S AMNESTY
Neil Munro

Trump’s immigration reforms are being blocked in the Senate and House, and his push for $5 billion in wall funding has been stopped by the GOP leadership. The funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security has been punted until December and is being combined with several cheap-labor programs, including a plan to quickly convert 300,000 Indian white-collar workers and their 300,000 family members into immigrants. The plan will further flood the white-collar labor market and force down salaries or college-graduate Americans.

AMERICA: NO DAMNED LEGAL NEED APPLY!!!

“Part of the problem, Santorum said, has been the arrival of millions of unskilled immigrants — legal and illegal — in the United States. "American workers deserve a shot at [good] jobs," Santorum said. "Over the last 20 years, we have brought into this country, legally and illegally, 35 MILLION mostly unskilled workers. And the result, over that same period of time, workers' wages and family incomes have flatlined." SEN. RICK SANTORUM

What will America stand for in 2050?
The US should think long and hard about the high number of Latino immigrants.

By Lawrence Harrison
It's not just a short-run issue of immigrants competing with citizens for jobs as unemployment approaches 10 percent or the number of uninsured straining the quality of healthcare. Heavy immigration from Latin America threatens our cohesiveness as a nation.


FINISHING AMERICA OFF: THE FOREIGN INVASION FOR “CHEAP” LABOR

http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2018/09/the-fall-of-america-by-invitation-tens.html

Open the floodgates of our welfare state to the uneducated, impoverished, and unskilled masses of the world and in a generation or three America, as we know it, will be gone. JOHN BINDER

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.

Overall, the Washington-imposed economic policy of economic growth via immigration shifts wealth from young people towards older people by flooding the market with cheap white-collar and blue-collar foreign labor.

"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

Hispanic Middle-Class Incomes Rise Again, to Highest Ever

September 18, 2018 Updated: September 18, 2018   


Households headed by Hispanic Americans significantly increased their incomes in 2017, reaching a record median of $50,486—an increase of almost 3.7 percent.
The figure, released with 2017 Census data on Sept. 12, shows Hispanic households overtaking other groups in middle-class income growth.
Overall, median incomes rose by 1.8 percent, including 2.6 percent for whites. Black middle incomes stagnated while the incomes of Asians went down by 2.2 percent, although that group maintained the highest median incomes by a large margin.
Hispanic Americans have notably improved their economic well-being over the past year and a half.
Hispanic unemployment over the past 12 months has fallen, to about 4.8 percent in August, breaking one record after another since December 2017. The lowest point prior to that was 5.2 percent in 2007.
Nearly 350,000 Hispanic Americans have risen out of poverty in 2017, compared to the year before.

Hispanics and Trump

President Donald Trump has been credited with accelerating U.S. economic growth through tax cuts, deregulation, convincing companies to expand production in the United States, and other policies. His carrot-and-stick approach to trade negotiations also has started to bear fruit in recent months.
It’s not clear, however, whether his economic message sufficiently reaches Hispanic voters.
While Trump repeatedly cheered for the record-low Hispanic unemployment, major Spanish-language news media outlets Univision and Telemundo omitted the historical significance of the numbers from their reports both for June and July.
Trump’s policies on some issues seem to resonate with Hispanic Americans, according to a June Harvard-Harrison poll, which focused on immigration.
More than half of Hispanic people polled said current border security is inadequate and immigration law enforcement needs to be stricter, rather than looser. About 70 percent also prefer secure borders to “basically open borders.”
About two-thirds support the Republican proposal for immigration reform, described to the respondents as “a congressional deal that gives undocumented immigrants brought here by their parents work permits and a path to citizenship in exchange for increasing merit preference over preference for relatives, eliminating the diversity visa lottery, and funding barrier security on the U.S.–Mexico border.”
A majority of Hispanics said that those crossing U.S. borders illegally should be sent home, even if they are parents with children.
Among Hispanic registered voters, Trump’s job approval reached 35 percent in September, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling.


THE NEW PRIVILEGED CLASS: Illegals!

This is why you work From Jan - May paying taxes to the government ....with the rest of the calendar year is money for you and your family.

Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, with his fake Social Security number, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200..... free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.

He qualifies for food stamps.

He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.

His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.

He requires bilingual teachers and books.

He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.

If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI.

Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense.

He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.

Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.

He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.

Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after Paying their bills and his.

The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.


Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people! 




Every CEO in every company sees the business opportunity: Will I earn higher profits by replacing my American staff with cheaper H-1B workers? The answer is an obvious yes.

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 priceswidens 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.

American middle-class is addicted, poor, jobless and suicidal…. Thank the corrupt government for surrendering our borders to 40 million looting Mexicans and then handing the bills to middle America?

Ten years after the financial crash

Wall Street pay up 13 percent while workers’ wages stagnate

By Barry Grey 
19 September 2018
The Office of the New York State Comptroller reported Monday that both profits and pay at Wall Street securities firms soared at double-digit rates last year and are continuing their spectacular rise in 2018. The report is the latest in a series of financial surveys showing that 10 years after the Wall Street crash of September 2008, the concentration of wealth at the very top of society continues to increase.
Announcing the release of the report, New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli boasted, “Wall Street profited every year since the end of the recession in 2009, and compensation last year reached its highest point since the financial crisis.”
The average bonus paid to the stock traders and speculators in New York City rose by 17 percent last year to $184,220, the highest in a decade. The average salary, including bonuses, increased by 13 percent to $422,500, also the highest since 2008. This figure, well within America’s top 1 percent income bracket, is 5.5 times higher than the rest of the private sector in New York City.
Pretax profits in the securities industry totaled $24.5 billion in 2017, the highest level since 2010. This is an increase of 42 percent over 2016, which saw a 21 percent rise in profits. In the first half of 2018, profits totaled $13.7 billion, a rise of 11 percent and the highest level since 2010.
The “recovery” from the 2008 crash and the Great Recession engineered by both Republican and Democratic administrations (Bush, Obama and Trump) has been a systematic effort to utilize the crisis triggered by the criminal actions of Wall Street bankers and speculators to restructure the economy for the benefit of the financial oligarchs and at the expense of the working class.
By means of a vast transfer of wealth from the working class to the rich and the super-rich, the losses suffered by the financial elite in the global meltdown have not only been fully recouped, its wealth has been massively increased. In 2008, the 400 wealthiest people in America had a net worth of $1.5 trillion. That figure has since doubled to nearly $3 trillion.
Ten years ago, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, today the richest man in the world, had a net worth of $8.7 billion. It now stands at over $160 billion, an 18-fold increase.
Workers’ wages have stagnated or declined. Between 2016 and 2017 the wage of a typical US worker grew by a negligible 0.3 percent. This year, wages are barely keeping pace with inflation. Meanwhile, according to a report published last month by the Economic Policy Institute, average CEO pay at America’s 350 largest companies grew by 17.6 percent between 2016 and 2017. The typical chief executive received $18.9 million in compensation.
The average CEO in the US now makes 312 times what the typical worker makes, up from the 20-to-1 ratio that prevailed in the 1960s. This means that, on average, a CEO receives in a single day almost as much as the average worker makes in an entire year.
This vast diversion of wealth and resources to the bank accounts of a parasitic elite has untold human consequences. America is today a country where life expectancy is on the decline, infant mortality and maternal mortality are on the rise, drug abuse and suicide are at record highs, major storms routinely devastate entire regions lacking basic infrastructure, and millions of workers are forced to work two or three poverty-wage and often part-time or temporary jobs.
The baseline for workers is becoming the brutal sweatshop conditions of Amazon, which has grown massively since the 2008 crash by exploiting the systematic destruction of decent-paying, secure jobs. In 2018 America there is the growing phenomenon of the homeless Amazon worker.
The growth of social inequality is the result of a bipartisan assault on the working class. The redistribution of wealth was greatly accelerated under the Obama administration, which responded to the financial crash of 2008 by instituting a series of policies whose net result was the greatest transfer of wealth from the bottom layers of society to the top in history.
These policies included the multi-trillion-dollar bank bailout, near-zero percent interest rates and the money-printing operation known as “quantitative easing.” These measures pumped trillions of dollars into the financial markets and provided the banks and hedge funds with virtually free credit, enabling them to mount new speculative operations similar to those that triggered the financial meltdown and Great Recession in 2008.
The vast inflation of stocks and other financial assets was made possible by the continuing suppression of the class struggle and workers’ wages by the trade unions, which all but banned strikes in the aftermath of the Wall Street crash. Wage-cutting and the growth of low-paying part-time and temporary jobs dramatically lowered the social position of the working class. This was combined with cuts in healthcare, pensions, education, housing, food stamps and other vital social programs.
The orgy of self-enrichment of the financial oligarchy has continued and accelerated under Trump with the enactment last December of a multi-trillion-dollar package of tax cuts for corporations and the rich. Trump’s tax cuts have triggered a new round of mergers and acquisitions, stock buybacks and dividend payments that will increase the wealth of CEOs and investors by an estimated $2.5 trillion by the end of 2018.
Obama shielded the bankers whose fraudulent activities led to the Great Recession. In 2011, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations issued a 650-page report on the Wall Street crash that documented the criminal practices of major banks and the collusion of rating agencies and government regulators. The chairman of the subcommittee, Michigan Senator Carl Levin, told a press conference that Senate investigators had found “a financial snake pit rife with greed, conflicts of interest, and wrongdoing.”
The report was a dead letter from the day it was released. Not a single top banker was criminally charged, let alone prosecuted and jailed. Instead, they were made even wealthier. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein have both become billionaires, despite playing key roles in creating the sub-prime mortgage Ponzi scheme and then profiting off of its collapse in 2008.
The United States is ruled by a corporate-financial oligarchy, which controls both major parties and all of the official institutions—Congress, the courts, academia and the media. This year has already seen a resurgence of class struggle and a growth of anti-capitalist and pro-socialist sentiment in the working class, not just in the US, but around the world.
The response of the ruling class is two-fold. First is a turn to authoritarian forms of rule, seen both in Trump’s fascistic attacks on immigrants and encouragement of far-right political forces, and the Democrats’ promotion of the FBI, the CIA and the military as the supposed alternative to Trump. There is not a trace of democratic or progressive content in the ongoing political warfare in Washington. Both sides are pro-war, anti-democratic and anti-working class.
The Democrats, for their part, are opposing Trump on the basis of his supposed reluctance to confront Russia militarily and expand the US war in Syria. They are running dozens of former CIA agents and military officers in the midterm elections. Their heroes are the former CIA director and drone assassination mastermind John Brennan and the late war-monger John McCain. They are spearheading the censorship of left-wing and anti-war websites on the internet in the fraudulent name of combating Russian “meddling” and “fake news.”
The other prong of the ruling class response to the growth of working class militancy and anti-capitalist sentiment is the promotion of fake “progressives” and “socialists” such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, and organizations such as the Democratic Socialists of America, which are aligned with the Democratic Party and seek to channel working class opposition back behind that party of American imperialism.
The alternative for workers and young people is being advanced by the Socialist Equality Party, which alone is fighting to mobilize the working class in opposition to the capitalist two-party system on the basis of a socialist program. The campaign of SEP candidate Niles Niemuth for US Congress in the 12th Congressional District of Michigan is aimed at broadening the growth of working class resistance and providing it with an independent and revolutionary program. Workers and youth across the country should support the campaign and join and build the SEP.




Poll Showing O’Rourke Leads Cruz by 2 in Texas Senate Race an Outlier Using Different Methodology


Cruz vs Beto O'Rourke










A poll released Wednesday by Reuters/Ipsos/University of Virginia Polling Center showing Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) leads incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) by two points is an outlier that used a significantly different methodology from other polls that show Cruz in the lead.

According to the Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Poll of likely voters in Texas, O’Rourke leads Cruz, 47 percent to 45 percent.
The Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Poll results stand in marked contrast to the Quinnipiac University Poll released on Tuesday, which shows Cruz with a nine point lead over O’Rourke, 54 percent to 45 percent, as well as the current Real Clear Politics Average of Polls, which shows Cruz with a 4.5 percent lead.
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Chris Jackson, vice president of Ipsos, which conducted the Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Poll of Texas likely voters for Reuters and the University of Virginia Polling Center, agreed with the characterization that the poll results were an outlier.
“Both polls are outliers,” he said, referring to the Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Poll released Wednesday and the Quinnipiac Poll released on Tuesday.
He pointed out that most other recent polls show a very close race, with Cruz leading by just two to four points.
“This race is a toss-up,” Jackson added.
Ipsos described the methodology the Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Poll of the Senate race in Texas in this topline summary:
These are findings from an Ipsos poll conducted September 6 – September 14, 2018 on behalf of Thomson Reuters and the University of Virginia Center for Politics. For the survey, a sample of roughly 2,000 adults age 18+ from Texas were interviewed online in English. The sample includes 992 likely voters, 423 likely voter Democrats, 463 likely voter Republicans, and 90 likely voter Independents.
The Quinnipiac Poll described the methodology used in its poll of the Texas Senate race in this statement that accompanied the release of the poll:
From September 11 – 17, Quinnipiac University surveyed 807 Texas likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 4.1 percentage points, including the design effect. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.
There are four major differences in the methodologies used by the two polls whose results differ so dramatically:
(1) The Ipsos Poll was conducted online, while the Quinnipiac Poll was conducted by live interviewers over landlines and cell phones.
(2) The Ipsos Poll was conducted over a nine day period, while the Quinnipiac Poll was conducted over a seven day period. Most polls are conducted over a three to four day period in order to grab a “snapshot” of attitudes during a specific period of time.
(3) The Ipsos Poll interviewed all adults, then screened out those adults who are not registered to vote or are not likely to vote. The Quinnipiac Poll only interviewed likely voters.
(4) The Ipsos Poll over sampled Hispanic voters and under sampled White voters, when compared to actual 2016 voting behavior in Texas.
One difference between the two polls is in the weighting methodology they use for respondents by ethnic group/race.
Jackson told Breitbart News that Hispanic voters comprised 23 percent of the weighted sample of the 992 likely voters included in the poll showing O’Rourke with a two point lead. Jackson added that 32 percent of the larger sample of 2,000 adults over the age of 18 interviewed for the poll were Hispanic.
“The Reuters/Ipsos/UVA poll was conducted online, in English, from Sept. 5 to 17. It surveyed between 992 and 1,039 people in each of five states including California and weighted the responses according to the latest government population estimates,” the Reuters article announcing the poll results on Wednesday reported.
White voters comprised 58 percent of the weighted sample, Black voters comprised 13 percent, and “Other” comprised six percent.
Citing U.S. Census Bureau data, the Texas Tribune reported the following voter turnout for the 2016 presidential election by ethnic group/race:
  • White–62.0 percent (5,905,000 total votes)
  • Hispanic–20.3 percent (1,938,000 total votes)
  • Black–14.1 percent (1,349,000 total votes)
  • Asian–3.5 percent (338,000)
  • 9,530,000 total votes
The Ipsos Poll under sampled White voters by four percent, compared to actual 2016 voter turnout, and over sampled Hispanic voters by three percent compared to actual 2016 voter turnout.
This is significant, because the Ipsos Poll showed O’Rourke with a 37 point lead over Cruz among Hispanics (64 percent to 27 percent), dramatically different from the nine point lead the Quinnipiac Poll showed O’Rourke had over Cruz (54 percent to 45 percent).
Jackson told Breitbart News that the Ipsos Poll of likely voters in the Texas Senate race showed the following head-to-head matchup results by ethnic group/race:
  • Ted Cruz leads Beto O’Rourke by a 60 percent to 33 percent margin among White likely voters.
  • Beto O’Rourke leads Ted Cruze by a 64 percent to 27 percent margin among Hispanic likely voters.
  • Beto O’Rourke leads Ted Cruz by a 78 percent to 14 percent margin among Black likely voters.
  • Ted Cruz leads Beto O’Rourke by a 47 percent to 44 percent margin among “Other” likely voters.
In the Quinnipiac Poll:
  • Ted Cruz leads Beto O’Rourke by a 66 percent to 32 percent margin among White likely voters.
  • Beto O’Rourke leads Ted Cruz by a 54 percent to 45 percent margin among Hispanic likely voters.
  • Beto O’Rourke leads Ted Cruz by a 97 percent to 3 percent margin among Black likely voters.
Though Hispanics comprised 39 percent of the total population of Texas in 2014, according to Pew Research, they accounted for only 20 percent of votes cast in Texas in the 2016 presidential election.
That same year, in 2014, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 48 percent of the voting age population in Texas was White, 35 percent was Hispanic, 12 percent was Black, and five percent was Asian.
Hispanic turnout in the 2016 presidential election in Texas, and for a number of previous elections in Texas, has been dramatically lower than White turnout and Black turnout. In 2016, for instance White voter turnout in Texas was slightly higher than 60 percent, Black voter turnout in Texas was slightly lower than 60 percent, and Hispanic voter turnout was 40 percent.
Breitbart News asked the Quinnipiac Poll to provide their demographic breakdown of poll respondents by ethnic group/race used in the recent Quinnipiac Poll of the Texas Senate race, but has not received a response. However, it appears that the weighting methodology for ethnic group/race used in the Quinnipiac Poll results showing Cruz with a nine point lead is very close to the actual voting behavior during the 2016 presidential election in Texas.
The Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Poll results released for polls conducted in the other four states were more in line with the current Real Clear Politics Average of Polls.
In the California Senate race, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) leads challenger Kevin Leon by 20 points, 44 percent to 24 percent among likely voters. Thirty-nine percent of the population of California in 2014 was Hispanic, the same percentage as in Texas, according to Pew Research.
In the Arizona Senate race, Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) leads Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ) by three points, 47 percent to 44 percent among likely voters, which is 1.5 points higher than the current Real Clear Politics Average of Polls, which gives her a 1.5 point lead. Thirty-one percent of the population of Arizona in 2014 was Hispanic, according to Pew Research.
In the Nevada Senate race, Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) leads Rep. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) by three points, 46 percent to 43 percent among likely voters, which is different from the current Real Clear Politics Average of Polls, which gives Rosen a lead of less than one percent. Twenty-eight percent of the population of Nevada in 2014 was Hispanic, according to Pew Research.
In the Florida Senate race Republican Gov. Rick Scott leads incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) by one point, 46 percent to 45 percent, almost exactly the same as the 1.6 point lead he has in the current Real Clear Politics Average of Polls. Twenty-four percent of the population of Florida in 2014 was Hispanic, according to Pew Research.
