SAN
DIEGO (AP) — Dozens of people across the U.S. have been charged in connection
with an international conspiracy to launder tens of millions of dollars in drug
money for Mexican cartels, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in San Diego unsealed 40 indictments
against defendants accused in the scheme dating to 2015. Investigators seized
more than $6 million in cash as well as weapons and large quantities of drugs,
including methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl, cocaine and marijuana, officials
said.
Mexican-based brokers oversaw a network of "money
movers" who transported drug proceeds throughout the U.S. in boxes and
duffel bags and deposited the cash into so-called funnel bank accounts,
according to prosecutors. From there the funds were wired to accounts for false
companies in Mexico controlled by drug suppliers, including members of the
Sinaloa cartel, they said.
"By following the money, we have discovered large quantities
of fentanyl, heroin and methamphetamine that are no longer destined for the
streets of America," U.S. Attorney Adam Braverman said. "That's a
one-two punch that takes these organizations completely out of the ring and
makes our communities safer."
Undercover agents witnessed cash deliveries that took place in
parking lots of retail stores, hotels and restaurants in California, Illinois,
Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
A total of 75 people are charged in the U.S., with some accused of
drug distribution, officials said.

Enough Fentanyl to Kill Millions Found En Route to U.S. South of
Border
Mexico's
National Security Commission
Mexico's
National Security Commission
A traffic
stop led Mexican authorities to seize enough fentanyl to kill millions of
people as well as almost 1,000 pounds of crystal methamphetamine and other
drugs that were headed to the California border.
This week, Mexico’s National Security Commission announced the seizure of
45.5 kilograms of fentanyl that were found as part of a synthetic drug shipment
in the Mexican beach resort town of Ensenada, Baja California. The seizure also
included more than 914 pounds of crystal meth, 87 pounds of cocaine and 18
pounds of heroin.
Unlike the other synthetic drugs, fentanyl is a medically used
opioid that is considered to be 100 times more powerful than morphine and prone
to lethal overdoses.
According to the Oxford Treatment Center, the lethal dose for an
individual taking fentanyl is 2 milligrams.
The 45.5 kilograms of fentanyl seized is enough to fuel millions
of possible lethal doses.
The seizure was made by federal police forces who spotted an SUV
without license plates that had been traveling along the highway that connects
Ensenada with the town of Lazaro Cardenas. The beach resort of Ensenada is
directly south of the border city of Tijuana and its various ports of entry
into California.
After pulling over the vehicle, authorities searched the SUV
and discovered 10 bundles, three suitcases, 18 bricks and 18 plastic containers
with the various drugs inside. As part of the investigation, Mexican
authorities were able to confirm that the SUV is registered in
California.

GRAPHIC — Mexican Cartel Cuts Out
Living Victim’s Heart near Acapulco
Breitbart Texas / Cartel Chronicles
Breitbart Texas / Cartel Chronicles
A group of
cartel gunmen fighting for control of a Mexican coastal state cut out the heart
of one of their living victims while another was beheaded. The violence took
place not far from the beach resort cities of Acapulco and Ixtapa Zihuatanejo,
Guerrero.
The execution was recorded by cartel gunmen who then disseminated
the footage through social media. Mexican intelligence sources revealed to
Breitbart Texas that the murders took place at a ranch near the boundary
between Michoacan and Guerrero states. The location of the murders is not far
from the famed resort city of Acapulco. Law enforcement sources also revealed
that the ranch once belonged to former Los Zetas ally and founder of La Familia
Michoacana, Carlos Rosales Mendoza.
During the execution, a leading figure within Los Viagras Cartel
threatened and tortured two villagers whose hands were tied behind their backs.
The victims were killed for allegedly relaying information to
their rivals. One of the gunmen used a large stick to beat one of the villagers.
Another gunman then comes up from behind and uses a sharp knife to
slash the man’s throat and then sever his head.
While the second victim screams for mercy, the gunmen use knives
to slice open his chest to the point where they can see the man’s beating
heart. One of the gunmen reached inside the victim’s chest cavity and manually
removed the vital organ.
Soon after the executions, the gunmen issued a series of threats
toward rivals claiming they would meet a similar fate.
The Mexican states of Guerrero and Michoacan are theaters for a
fierce territorial war between the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) and
their rivals with Los Viagras, La Nueva Familia Michoacana, and some factions
of the Sinaloa Cartel.

At least five suspected cartel gunmen were captured in Baja California

and local police.
The
violent confrontation occurred at approximately 4:30 pm in the popular tourist
spot of La Paz after officers attempted to stop a vehicle full of gunmen. The
governor of Baja California Sur, Carlos Mendoza Davis, confirmed the
circumstances during a press conference with local media outlets.
The
governor reported that five suspects were captured after they retreated into a
residence and exchanged gunfire with security personnel for approximately 30
minutes before they surrendered. Numerous high-powered rifles, handguns, and
ammo were recovered by investigators of the state attorney general’s office
with support from the Marines.
The
armed confrontation was broadcast live on local television, which captured the
arrival of supporting military elements to provide assistance while fully
automatic gunfire could be heard in the background. Civilian footage also
surfaced on YouTube.

Maybe that border fence would help Mexico, too
Over the last few years,
I've had conversations with Mexican friends who agree that the proposed border
fence could actually be very helpful to stop guns and cash going south
everyday. It could also have an impact on the human traffic and drugs
going north every day. We get drugs and they get billions of dollars in
cash. They get guns and we get people coming in anyway imaginable.
Nearly 200 people from
Mexico and Central America were stuffed inside large trucks and caught trying
to enter the United States illegally during three huge January smuggling busts
that occurred in just nine days.
Officials in southern
California said 77 people, including five children, were found near the
Mexico border Monday packed inside a sweltering truck that had been painted to
resemble a UPS truck.
It raises a couple of
questions:
1) Who checks what comes
out of Mexico? Are there any controls in place on the Mexico side of the
U.S.-Mexico border? The answer is complicated. They tell me that
there are controls in some populated areas but it's wide open in others.
2) Why isn't Mexico
doing a better job controlling the human flow from Central
America? Complicated again. The cartels are now moving people through
the country. They can buy their way from town to town. They travel on
protected routes, or so they tell me.
We feel sorry for the poor
people found in these trucks. Nevertheless, it's time to publicly call out
Mexico and demand more effort on their side of the border. At least,
we should point out the benefits of a border fence to stop this terrible stuff
going north and south.

First,
a wall exists independent of the waxing and waning of the available cadre of
border enforcement agents, something that has always been subject to the
vagaries of the legislative and executive branches. Congress may or may not
appropriate the money to staff officers and agents up to the required levels;
and if they do, a recalcitrant or anti-enforcement president such as Barack
Obama may choose to not take advantage of the money and simply let the funds
sit idle until year's end when they revert back to the Treasury.
Second, and it is a corollary to the above, it
is a mistake to think that "smart" technologies somehow supplant the
need for a robust officer corps. To the contrary, they absolutely demand it.
Every kind of technological advancement, whether it is drones, military-grade
sensors, forward-looking infrared radar (FLIR), tower-mounted high powered
cameras, or something else, requires a sufficient number of human beings — of
trained agents — to respond to intrusion alerts. Law enforcement always has
been a human-resource-intensive occupation, and technological wonders won't
change that equation, at least, not until we see walking, talking androids
capable of apprehending aliens, putting the cuffs on them, advising them of
their rights, and transporting and processing them.
Third, and this is critical, all of the smart
technologies that have been mentioned in the context of border technology are
reactive in nature. They alert agents to respond after an alien has crossed into the United
States, and thus has been imbued
with constitutional rights to hearings, to make claims, seek various forms of
relief, and to stall in each and every way possible his or her removal, no
matter how immediate in time or place he was arrested relative to his illegal entry.
The harsh reality is that due process in the
immigration context is breaking down. The immigration courts are thoroughly
backlogged into the several hundreds of thousands. This, in turn, forces
inappropriate or premature release of aliens from detention as the available
space is filled. And that, in turn, leads to the kind of situation we have now,
wherein there are more than 900,000 (yes, you read that right, nearly a
million) aliens loose in the United States who have either absconded from their
hearings or failed to report for removal as required.

Over the last few years,
I've had conversations with Mexican friends who agree that the proposed border
fence could actually be very helpful to stop guns and cash going south
everyday. It could also have an impact on the human traffic and drugs
going north every day. We get drugs and they get billions of dollars in
cash. They get guns and we get people coming in anyway imaginable.
Nearly 200 people from
Mexico and Central America were stuffed inside large trucks and caught trying
to enter the United States illegally during three huge January smuggling busts
that occurred in just nine days.
Officials in southern
California said 77 people, including five children, were found near the
Mexico border Monday packed inside a sweltering truck that had been painted to
resemble a UPS truck.
It raises a couple of
questions:
1) Who checks what comes
out of Mexico? Are there any controls in place on the Mexico side of the
U.S.-Mexico border? The answer is complicated. They tell me that
there are controls in some populated areas but it's wide open in others.
2) Why isn't Mexico
doing a better job controlling the human flow from Central
America? Complicated again. The cartels are now moving people through
the country. They can buy their way from town to town. They travel on
protected routes, or so they tell me.
We feel sorry for the poor
people found in these trucks. Nevertheless, it's time to publicly call out
Mexico and demand more effort on their side of the border. At least,
we should point out the benefits of a border fence to stop this terrible stuff
going north and south.

U.S. authorities
are tracking down the individuals behind a shipment of $1 million dollars
headed south to Mexico’s Gulf Cartel.
Agents
with Homeland Security Investigations are expanding on a traffic stop in
Kingsville, Texas, where authorities found 69 bundles with $1,071,503 in the
cabin of a tractor-trailer heading for McAllen, court records obtained by
Breitbart Texas revealed.
Santos Hernandez Juarez, used a B1-B2 visa to drive in the U.S.
for a company based in Donna, Texas. He was pulled over by local police in
Kingsville because his license plate was covered, records say. During the
traffic stop, Hernandez appeared unusually nervous, raising the suspicions of
the police officer who asked for permission to search the vehicle. The officer
noticed the mattress in the truck’s cabin was heavier than normal and found 69
bundles of cash inside.
The truck was taken to the Kingsville Police Station where a K-9
was used to search for drugs, cash, or weapons. The dog alerted to the cabin
area where the cash was allegedly found. Initially, Hernandez told authorities
that he delivered a load of produce to New York and was on his way back when
three men approached him, asking to deliver an unknown item to McAllen in
exchange for $9,000 USD.
Agents with HSI asked Hernandez for permission to look at his
three phones. After he agreed, authorities found messages that disproved his
original version of events. When confronted, Hernandez changed his story, the
criminal complaint revealed. Hernandez told the agents that he met a man at a
mechanic shop in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, who told him he could make extra money.
The man instructed Hernandez to wait for another person to contact and
coordinate the delivery of cash and receive 1.5 percent of the funds safely
delivered to McAllen, Texas.
Hernandez was formally charged with one count of cash smuggling
and remains in federal custody without bond. HSI agents wrote in the criminal
complaint that the operation was tied to the Gulf Cartel, which controls
Matamoros, and is considered to be a brutal criminal organization that
regularly uses tractor-trailers to move drugs north and proceeds south.

Adios, Sanctuary La Raza Welfare State of
California
A fifth-generation Californian laments his state’s ongoing
economic collapse.
By Steve Baldwin
American Spectator, October 19, 2017
What’s clear is that the producers are leaving the state and the takers are
coming in. Many of the takers are illegal aliens, now estimated to number over
2.6 million. The Federation for American Immigration Reform estimates that
California spends $22 billion on government services for illegal aliens, including
welfare, education, Medicaid, and criminal justice system costs.
BLOG: MANY DISPUTE CALIFORNIA’S EXPENDITURES FOR THE LA RAZA
WELFARE STATE IN MEXIFORNIA JUST AS THEY DISPUTE THE NUMBER OF ILLEGALS.
APPROXIMATELY HALF THE POPULATION OF CA IS NOW MEXICAN AND BREEDING ANCHOR
BABIES FOR WELFARE LIKE BUNNIES. THE $22 BILLION IS STATE EXPENDITURE ONLY.
COUNTIES PAY OUT MORE WITH LOS ANGELES COUNTY LEADING AT OVER A BILLION DOLLARS
PAID OUT YEARLY TO MEXICO’S ANCHOR BABY BREEDERS. NOW MULTIPLY THAT BY THE
NUMBER OF COUNTIES IN CA AND YOU START TO GET AN IDEA OF THE STAGGERING WELFARE
STATE MEXICO AND THE 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.

Border City near Texas Considered
Mexico’s Most Dangerous, Finds Survey
Breitbart Texas / Cartel Chronicles
Breitbart Texas / Cartel Chronicles
REYNOSA,
Tamaulipas — The citizens of this border city consider it as one of the most
dangerous in Mexico.
The perceived lack of security
conditions was measured through a study of urban public safety by
Mexico’s National Institute for
Statistics and Geography (INEGI).
The city where citizens felt
least safe is in Reynosa, according to 95.6 percent of local respondents.
Since 2010, this border city
has been immersed in waves of violence where rival cartel groups fight for
control. The violence began when the Gulf Cartel split off from its former
enforcers, Los Zetas, thus setting off a series of gun battles for control of
the streets. The skirmishes continue in waves where in addition to the fight
with Los Zetas, the CDG went through a series of internal fractures that spread
even more bloodshed. As a consequence of the high cost of being constantly at
war, residents have also been victimized by a spike in extortions, carjackings,
kidnappings, and home and business robberies.
As Breitbart Texas
reports, the perception of insecurity
comes at a time when Mexico had its bloodiest year in decades. According to the 2017
statistics, Mexico suffered 29,168 tallied murders, surpassing all prior
records.
Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas
traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to
recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels
silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the
hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf
Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas’ Cartel

“Thirteen years after welfare reform, the share of immigrant-headed
households (legal and illegal) with a child (under age 18) using at least one
welfare program continues to be very high. This is partly due to the large
share of immigrants with low levels of education and their resulting low
incomes — not their legal status or an unwillingness to work. The major welfare
programs examined in this report include cash assistance, food assistance,
Medicaid, and public and subsidized housing.” Steven A. Camarota

accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting them access to dozens of

the economy in any meaningful way, CA, with its 2.6 million illegals, would be

Democrats Reject Trump’s Amnesty
Framework, Seek Alliance With GOP’s Business Wing

Democratic Senators are rejecting President Donald Trump’s
four-part amnesty-and-immigration reform, and are instead working with
business-first GOP Senators to pass an amnesty with only token reforms.
“There
is not likely to be a DACA deal, though we’re working every single day, on
telephone calls and person to person, to try to reach this bipartisan
agreement,” Sen. Dick Durbin told Jake Tapper on the February 4 edition of
CNN’s State of the Union. Durbin said the Democrats would not stage
another shutdown, but declared:
I
think we’re making real progress. I want to salute the moderates in both the
Republicans and Democratic caucuses in the Senate. They have really been a
positive voice, Democrats and Republicans sitting in the same room working to
try to solve this problem.
The
Democrats’ sharp-elbowed rejection of Trump’s four-part plan — including an
amnesty for at least 1.8 million illegals — explains Trump’s Friday complaints
that Democrats are not bargaining over his four-part framework offer. The offer
trades the amnesty in exchange for a border wall with legal upgrades, plus
ending the diversity lottery and winding down the chain migration
program over the next 10 years.
On
Friday, February 2, Trump told reporters:
I
would say we want to make a deal. I think they want to use it for
political purposes, for elections. I really don’t — I really am not happy
with the way it’s going from the standpoint of the Democrats negotiating.
Trump
does not seem to be dropping any of his three asks in the closed-door talks. On
January 2, for example, Trump attending a public briefing on border security
issues, where officials described the legal loopholes used by migrants to get
through the border. Trump responded:
These
are things you can’t even negotiate. I mean, you can’t negotiate this
with the Democrats, because this is stuff for safety. And it’s not like,
“Oh, gee, let’s, you know, work a halfway deal.” You have such bad — you
have such bad [border] procedures. You’re forced to do everything that
you people were taught not to do, when you think about it.
If
Trump wants to keep his proposal on track, he should promise to veto the
Democrats’ push to pass an amnesty with token “border security” upgrades, said
Rosemary Jenks, director of government relations at NumbersUSA.
“President
Trump needs to say he will veto [an amensty] deal that is weaker than
his framework,” he said.
Without
his veto threat, many GOP Senators will decide that Trump is caving, and then
ally with Democrats to vote for a business-backed amnesty bill — which House
Speaker Paul Ryan may then shove through the House, she said, adding:
Without
the President’s leadership, we’ll get the typical amnesty bill
that we always get, and it will be totally
unacceptable to Americans, and he is the only person who
has the ability to stop that …
If the
Republicans screw up immigration, the impact in November will
be tremendous. This is the issue that could sink the
Republicans’ majorities. I hope they realize how much is riding on
it.
The bottom line
is President Trump ran and won on this, and who can make sure there is a good
deal or if no deal, then the Republicans can say [to voters] very easily at
this point: “We offered the most generous plan ever seen and the
Democrats refused it … we are willing to give pass
an amnesty if we could get an overall immigration policy
serves the national interests and the
Democrats don’t want that.”
The
Democrats’ refusal to deal suggests they hope to split the GOP by pushing
business-first Republicans to betray populist voters by backing a pre-election
amnesty deal opposed by Trump. That win would provide the Democrats with a big
win and morale booster before November while splitting the GOP elite from their
voters.
Likely
Democratic allies include Sen. Susan Collins whose home-state of Maine has been
losing investment and people as legal immigrants spur growth in other states.
Other potential allies include retiring Sen. Jeff Flake, liberal Sen. Lindsey
Graham as well as business-first GOP members, such as Sens. John Thune and
Lisa Murkowski.
Pushing
for a bigger win also helps the Democrats avoid paying the painful price of
Trump’s offer, which requires them to approve a border wall, legal reforms to
block migrants, ending the visa lottery program and agreeing to end the chain
migration system in 10 years. All of those Trump demands are viscerally opposed
by some or many of the Democrats’ diverse and fractious interest groups.
Also,
the Democrats’ maximalist strategy still allows the Democrats to later take
Trump’s offer — or else decide to use the amnesty impasse to help goose
their turnout in November.
The
only risk for Democrats is that Trump may refuse to compromise and then make
the November elections all about amnesty, the visa lottery, and
chain migration — even while Trump’s low-immigration policies are forcing
companies to offer higher wages to Americans.
Trump’s
statements have suggested he is willing to focus the 2018 midterm on his
pro-American immigration policies and the resulting rise in wages. On February
2, for example, Trump said:
Really,
[the November election] is another way of doing it. And based on the [election
related] numbers we just saw, we have a real chance of doing that …
[Immigration] is now an election issue that will go to our benefit, not their
benefit.
You
know ’18 is going to be very interesting. But we’ve got to do one or the other
– either they’re going to have to come on board — because they talk a good game
with DACA, but they don’t produce — … either they come on board or we’re just
going to have to really work and we’re going to have to get more people so we
can get the kind of numbers that we need to pass in a much easier fashion
legislation [in 2019].
He
added:
The
Republican position on immigration is the center, mainstream view of the
American people, with some extra strength at the border and security at the
border added in. What we’re asking for and what the American people are
pleading for is sanity and common sense in our immigration system. We
want immigration rules that protect our communities, defend our security, and
admit people who will love our country and contribute to our society.
Great jobs numbers and finally, after many
years, rising wages- and nobody even talks about them. Only Russia, Russia,
Russia, despite the fact that, after a year of looking, there is No Collusion!
The
Democrats’ diverse political coalition may not be capable of accepting Trump’s
amnesty offer but would rather pick a fight prior to the November elections.
For example, Durbin suggested to Tapper that Trump’s immigration policies are
racist, not pro-American.
Understand
what they are proposing. They want to cut legal immigration into the United
States of family members, some of whom who have waited 20 years or months to
join up with their families here.
This
is no longer about the security of the United States. It is not about
competition for American jobs. It is an effort by them to make a different
immigration policy in the future, one that envisions an America that is much
different than it is today. This is not an acceptable premise.
Durbin’s
statement is the third time that Democrats have personally stiffed Trump in the
negotiations.
First,
Durbin leaked Trump’s “shithole” comments in a closed-door negotiation to
portray him as racist, and then Schumer promised January 18 to fund a wall for
$25 billion but quickly told a New York Times interviewer
that he did not think the wall would ever get built.
Durbin
also touted the Democrats’s take-no-prisoners negotiating tactics by claiming
the Democrats’ budget-shutdown prompted House Majority Leader Sen. Mitch
McConnell to schedule an immigration debate after February 8. Durbin said:
I
don’t see a government shutdown coming, but I do see a promise by Senator
McConnell to finally bring this critical issue that affects the lives of
hundreds of thousands of people in America, finally bringing it to a full
debate in the Senate.
That’s
what we were looking for when there was a shutdown. We have achieved that goal.
We’re moving forward.
Donald
Trump’s immigration poicies are very popular.
Polls
show that President Donald Trump’s American-first immigration policy is
very popular. For example, a December poll of
likely 2018 voters shows two-to-one voter support for Trump’s pro-American
immigration policies, and a lopsided four-to-one opposition against the
cheap-labor, mass-immigration, economic policy pushed by bipartisan
establishment-backed D.C. interest-groups.
more
than 80 percent of Americans support curbing legal immigration levels, a plan
that Trump has endorsed to raise the wages of working and middle-class
Americans and stem the current never-ending flow of cheaper, foreign
competition that burdens the country’s blue-collar workers the most.
Business
groups and Democrats tout the
misleading, industry-funded “Nation of Immigrants” polls which pressure
Americans to say they welcome migrants, including the roughly 670,000 ‘DACA’
illegals and the roughly 3.25 million ‘dreamer’ illegals.
The alternative
“priority or fairness” polls—plus the 2016 election—show that
voters in the polling booth put a much higher priority on helping
their families, neighbors,
and fellow nationals get decent jobs in a high-tech, high-immigration, low-wage economy.
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 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.
"The
US jobs report for November, released Friday, provides further evidence
that the much vaunted economic “recovery” in the United States has
overwhelmingly benefited Wall Street, whose stock bonanza is based above
all on stagnant wages and the destruction of working-class living standards."

Record Employment in January; But Record 95,665,000 Not in Labor Force
(CNSNews.com)
- The new year is off to a strong start on the employment front.
The Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on
Friday that a record 154,430,000 people were employed in January, a gain of
309,000 from December.
The number of employed Americans has broken seven records since
Donald Trump took office.
The nation’s unemployment rate remained at a 17-year low of 4.1
percent for a fourth straight month in January, but the number of Americans not
in the labor force also set a new record at 95,665,000 – the fourth such record
since Trump took office.
In January, the nation’s civilian noninstitutionalized
population, consisting of all people age 16 or older who were not in the
military or an institution, reached 256,780,000. Of those, 161,115,000
participated in the labor force by either holding a job or actively seeking
one.
The 161,115,000 who participated in the labor force equaled 62.7 percent of the
256,780,000 civilian noninstitutionalized population.
The labor force participation rate has been stuck at 62.7
percent for four straight months.
Congressional Budget Office Director Keith Hall told Congress
last week that the nation's labor supply is growing slowly because of the aging
population.
In other positive news, wages are rising: In January, average
hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 9 cents
to $26.74, following an 11-cent gain in December. Over the year, average hourly
earnings have risen by 75 cents, or 2.9 percent.
And the economy added a strong 200,000 jobs last month. After
revisions for the December and November jobs-added totals, job gains have
averaged 192,000 over the last 3 months.
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rate for Blacks
increased to 7.7 percent in January, up from last month's record low of 6.8
percent; and the rate for Whites edged down to 3.5 percent. The jobless rates
for adult men (3.9 percent), adult women (3.6 percent), teenagers (13.9
percent), Asians (3.0 percent), and Hispanics (5.0 percent) showed little
change.
Trump expects ‘numbers that get even better’
“Already since the election, we've created 2.4 million jobs,” President
Trump told Republicans gathered in West Virginia on Thursday.
“That's unthinkable. And that doesn't include all of the things
that are happening. You're going to see numbers that get even better.
“The stock market has added more than $8 trillion in new wealth. Unemployment
claims are at a 45-year low, which is something. After years of wage
stagnation, we are finally seeing rising wages.
African-American and Hispanic unemployment have both reached the
lowest levels ever recorded. That's something very, very special.”
Trump noted that upon hearing that news at the State of the
Union speech, “There was zero movement from the Democrats. They sat there stone
cold, no smile, no applause. You would've thought that on that one, they
would've sort of at least clapped a little bit.
“Which tells you perhaps they'd rather see us not do well than
see our country do great, and that's not good. That's not good.”
“There
is not likely to be a DACA deal, though we’re working every single day, on

population.
In other positive news, wages are rising: In January, average
hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 9 cents
to $26.74, following an 11-cent gain in December. Over the year, average hourly
earnings have risen by 75 cents, or 2.9 percent.
And the economy added a strong 200,000 jobs last month. After
revisions for the December and November jobs-added totals, job gains have
averaged 192,000 over the last 3 months.
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rate for Blacks
increased to 7.7 percent in January, up from last month's record low of 6.8
percent; and the rate for Whites edged down to 3.5 percent. The jobless rates
for adult men (3.9 percent), adult women (3.6 percent), teenagers (13.9
percent), Asians (3.0 percent), and Hispanics (5.0 percent) showed little
change.
Trump expects ‘numbers that get even better’

“Already since the election, we've created 2.4 million jobs,” President
Trump told Republicans gathered in West Virginia on Thursday.
“That's unthinkable. And that doesn't include all of the things
that are happening. You're going to see numbers that get even better.
“The stock market has added more than $8 trillion in new wealth. Unemployment claims are at a 45-year low, which is something. After years of wage stagnation, we are finally seeing rising wages.
“The stock market has added more than $8 trillion in new wealth. Unemployment claims are at a 45-year low, which is something. After years of wage stagnation, we are finally seeing rising wages.
African-American and Hispanic unemployment have both reached the
lowest levels ever recorded. That's something very, very special.”
Trump noted that upon hearing that news at the State of the
Union speech, “There was zero movement from the Democrats. They sat there stone
cold, no smile, no applause. You would've thought that on that one, they
would've sort of at least clapped a little bit.
“Which tells you perhaps they'd rather see us not do well than
see our country do great, and that's not good. That's not good.”
THE TRUMP AMNESTY TO LEGALIZE MEXICO’S
LOOTING AND KEEP WAGES FOR LEGALS DEPRESSED
The draft amnesty will also serve as complete
proof in November that Trump’s voters’ wrongly placed their trust in his August
2016 promise to block any amnesty: (SEE LINK).

"But
the taxpayers’ costs also act as a $26 billion stimulus for business which will
provide the migrants with medical services, apartments, entertainment, food, and
transport. The continued inflow of the 4 million chain-migrants, however, is a
vastly greater benefit for business and burden for American workers." NEIL

But the business community will have little reason to defend
Trump, partly because they have gotten their double-shot of tax cuts and cheap
labor. In fact, the legislation does not sunset the amnesty, meaning it can be
quietly expanded with a few legal tweaks that can be attached to any of the
myriad obscure bills annually passed by Congress.

Will Trump Preside
Over Largest Amnesty Ever Seen in This Country, The World?MAGA: "My
Amnesty Give-Away"
How Did We Get Here?
In past weeks, there has been an increasingly strident debate
over immigration "reform", particularly in the Senate, which has
repeatedly exhibited paralysis (because of self-imposed filibuster and cloture
rules requiring 60 votes to get anything done, rather than a simple majority).
The impasse has led to inability to pass a budget for the fiscal year that's
now half over, and the Democratic minority has used the opportunity to engage
in fiscal hostage-taking to demand an amnesty for illegal aliens. A select
number of Republicans, whose views on immigration mirror those of the
Democrats, have joined in the effort.
The shape and size of the amnesty is amorphous, with the
proposals growing ever
larger, though the nucleus was supposedly to legalize the 700,000 or
so aliens who benefited from the constitutionally questionable Deferred Action
for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program instituted by the Obama administration.
Donald Trump on the campaign trail said he would end DACA
because it was clearly an example of executive overreach. His position
shifted as president: Instead, DACA was to be phased out over a period of many
months, with two-year renewals being given in the interim. Trump then opened
Pandora's box by inviting Congress to legislate the problem away (they had
considered and rejected such legislation in the past, which is one reason Obama
took matters into his own hands by implementing the equivalent of an imperial
decree).
Trump went so far as to say that he would consider reopening the
program if Congress failed to act – a threat he has repeated in recent days,
despite earlier acknowledgements that the program was illegal and
unconstitutional, and despite the fact that he is undercutting his own Justice
Department, which is litigating the DACA shutdown in federal court.
How did we get here? The answer to that lies in the mid-1980s.
It was Republican president Ronald Reagan who firmly stood
behind, and ultimately signed into law, the Immigration Reform and Control Act
(IRCA) of 1986, which contained a massive amnesty that forgave and provided
lawful status to roughly 2.7 million illegal aliens from nations all over the
world.
The legalization provisions were billed as a one-time,
never-again amnesty, because IRCA was a "great compromise" that
included enforcement measures which would ensure no more massive build-ups of
aliens living illegally in the United States.
IRCA was a massive failure. The enforcement provisions were
pretty much prospective in nature, providing for a gradual phase-in, and IRCA
didn't in fact appropriate funds for resources needed at the border, in the
interior, or in the workplace, to make it a success.
In fact, funding never came. Despite promises made to garner
amnesty, once it was in place, enforcement suffered absolute neglect. In the
out years following IRCA, there was a failure of
political will in the legislative and executive branches; the capital and
human resources weren't sought and weren't apportioned to interior or worksite
enforcement efforts, and those given the border were too little, too late. I
recall many years while employed at the Immigration and Naturalization Service
(INS) when there were fewer than 1,000 investigators. At the time, there were
more Capitol Police officers guarding Congress than there were INS agents
charged with conducting all enforcement work in the interior of the entire
United States.
Even the amnesty provisions were of questionable value, and
became the source of nearly 30 years of litigation by applicants who appealed
denials of legalization. What is more, the program was overwhelmed with fraud
at giant regional processing centers where examiners labored endlessly without
any personal interaction with the applicants, for instance to determine
credibility or press questions about documents or affidavits submitted. They
became the equivalent of diploma mills, in this case the "diploma"
being a green card to the happy recipients.
The result of IRCA's failure, and the unwillingness to fund and
support viable immigration enforcement, is in front of our eyes: instead of
diminishing through attrition and compliance, the illegal population ballooned
after the IRCA amnesty "reset" to its present level of 11 or 12
million. What's more, about half of the illegal-alien population of the U.S.
consists of visa overstays, not border jumpers. Yet our visa-issuing policies
and port inspection processes remain ossified and ineffectual.
We are beset with intractable issues involving parents who over
the years smuggled their children here in the hundreds of thousands, with no
effective effort to put a stop to this dangerous, parentally negligent
practice; and the border is as wild and unpoliceable as ever. In fact,
enforcement statistics from Fiscal Year 2017 show that nearly half of all border apprehensions
involved minors and family units. This should be a wake-up call to
anyone who thinks that an amnesty today won't be needed again in a few short years.
On the contrary, calls for amnesty act as a beacon to others to begin their
trek northward in hopes of cashing in, by fair means or foul.
Into this mix strode Donald Trump, riding a wave of populist
sentiment to the White House. His rallying cry was Make America Great Again
(MAGA), and his popularity was based in large measure on his promise to restore
the rule of law to immigration enforcement. Then came his public DACA
turnaround, which no doubt came as a great surprise to his supporters and, as surely
as night follows day, we are now witnessing the inevitable fallout from that
utterance.
It has led to a hue and cry that Congress and the president must
again hit the amnesty re-set button, although this time around one doesn't hear
the "just this time, then never again" promise made so vociferously
in the past. Advocates don't think they need to make it, and politicians who
purport to be in favor of amnesty only in return for enforcement trade-offs
aren't quite so eager to put their reputations on the line with such
assurances, though they plod doggedly forward as if they must pass legislation,
however poorly crafted.
In response to a plaintive call from members of Congress (mostly
senators), the White House has now issued a set of principles that form its
framework for what would be acceptable before the president would be amenable
to signing immigration legislation that includes an amnesty. The framework is,
in a word, disappointing.
By the White House's own estimates, the amnesty would cover
nearly two million aliens. There are substantial reasons to think this is a
significant underestimate, based on the nation's experience with IRCA. Fraud
alone could increase that estimate by 20 or 30 percent. Then there are the
methodologies used to arrive at the figure – like those used by the
Congressional Budget Office, there is likely a "fudge factor" based
on aliens who will not apply, or will be denied, that in the hard light of day
won't hold up, which in turn means that the figure is pretty much an
unreliable lowball.
One begins to wonder whether MAGA still stands for Make America
Great Again, or has instead morphed into "My Amnesty Give-Away".
It would appear that this president, who campaigned on promises
to restore integrity to the immigration system, is quite possibly set to
preside over the largest amnesty ever seen in this country, perhaps even the
world.

Trump’s Draft Amnesty:
Citizenship for Illegal Alien Population Six Times the Size of Obama’s DACA

President Trump’s amnesty plan would potentially give a pathway to
U.S. citizenship to an illegal alien population that is roughly six times the
number of illegal aliens that were given temporary amnesty under former
President Obama.
An almost final draft of the White House’s expansive amnesty
plan obtained by Breitbart News reveals that the Trump administration would be
expanding Obama’s federal, temporary amnesty—known as the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program—to six times the number of illegal aliens
who are enrolled in the DACA.
Former Koch brothers executive Marc Short, who previously led the
failed “Never Trump” effort inside the pro-mass immigration billionaires’
network, helped craft the White House amnesty plan, along with Chief of Staff
Gen. John Kelly, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, and senior
adviser Stephen Miller.
The White House amnesty plan estimates that about 1.8 million
illegal aliens will be eligible for a pathway to U.S. citizenship under their
proposal. But, based on estimates from the 1986 amnesty, citizenship for 1.8
million illegal aliens would only be the starting point of the White House
amnesty.
Once an amnesty goes beyond legal status for DACA-enrolled illegal aliens,
it essentially becomes uncontrollable. Short/Kelly/Nielsen/Miller plan does
that. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/01/25/extremely-bad-idea-wh-plan-expands-u-s-citizenship-for-illegal-aliens-to-potentially-uncontrollable-levels/ …

'Extremely Bad Idea:' WH Plan Expands U.S.
Citizenship for Illegal Aliens to Potentially Uncontro...
The 1986 amnesty was designed to give 400,000 illegal alien
agricultural workers amnesty. After being enacted, though, about 1.1 million
illegal aliens ended up getting amnesty, implying that 700,000 illegal
aliens fraudulently received amnesty,
as noted by the Center for Immigration Studies.
Should this pattern be the same for the White House’s amnesty
plan, the low estimate of 1.8 million illegal aliens receiving a pathway to
U.S. citizenship will quickly and likely become 4.5 million illegal aliens
eventually obtaining citizenship.
Currently, there are nearly 800,000 illegal aliens enrolled in
Obama’s DACA program. The White House amnesty plan would potentially sextuple
this number of illegal aliens receiving amnesty and a pathway to citizenship.
Likewise, as Breitbart News reported, it is
plausible for the White House plan to become entirely open-ended and thus
never-ending, much like the 1986 amnesty, critics and experts say.
A copy of the White House amnesty obtained by Breitbart News
reveals that the DHS secretary would have nearly all control over the size and
implementation of the amnesty with no end date for when illegal aliens can no
longer apply for the pathway to citizenship.
The expansive amnesty attempts to contain the amnesty population
by requiring education, good moral character, and time period constraints and
provisions. But, the expansive amnesty’s requirements are low and not
rigorous, leaving the amnesty open to massive amounts of fraud, like the
1986 amnesty.
Also included in the White House amnesty draft:
- A more than 10-year wait before
legal immigration levels are reduced to provide much-needed relief and wage
increases to America’s working and middle class
- No immediate end to the wage-crushing
importation of blue-collar and white-collar foreign workers
- A repurposing of the 50,000 visas that
currently import foreign nationals through the Visa Lottery
- $25 billion to fund the construction of a
wall along the U.S.-Mexico border
- No provisions to enact mandatory
E-Verify, which would ban employers from hiring illegal aliens
- No provisions to end or punish sanctuary
cities, which protect and harbor criminal illegal aliens
- No provisions to deal with the issue of
ending birthright citizenship, where at least 4.5 million children
have received U.S. citizenship despite their parents
being illegal aliens
The amnestying of 4.5 million illegal aliens under the White
House amnesty would mean an instant depression of American workers’ wages
and an enormous increase in the number of now-legalized foreign workers that
Americans will have to compete for jobs against in the workforce.
Every year, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 foreign nationals,
with the vast majority deriving from family-based chain migration, whereby
newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives
to the U.S. In 2016, the legal and illegal immigrant population reached a
record high of 44 million. By 2023, the Center for Immigration Studies
estimates that the legal and illegal immigrant population of the U.S.
will make up nearly 15 percent of the entire U.S. population.
Mass immigration has come at the expense of America’s working
and middle class, which has suffered from poor job growth, stagnant wages, and
increased public costs to offset the importation of millions of low-skilled
foreign nationals.
Four million young Americans enter the workforce every year, but
their job opportunities are further diminished as the U.S. imports roughly two
new foreign workers for every four American workers who enter the workforce.
Even though researchers say 30 percent of the workforce could lose their
jobs due to automation by 2030, the U.S. has not stopped importing more than a
million foreign nationals every year.
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 with whom
working-class Americans are forced to compete. In 2016, the U.S. brought in about
1.8 million mostly low-skilled immigrants.
For white-collar American workers, mass immigration has become a
tool for the big business lobby, cheap labor industry, and Silicon Valley
elites to replace U.S. citizens with cheaper foreign workers. For example, as Breitbart
News reported, 71 percent
of tech workers in coveted high-paying, white-collar Silicon Valley jobs are
foreign-born, while the tech industry in the San Francisco, Oakland, and
Hayward area is made up of 50 percent foreign-born tech workers.
The White House amnesty plan was crafted despite recent
Harvard-Harris polling revealing the
massive popularity of Trump’s pro-American immigration agenda, including
reducing legal immigration levels, building a border wall, and ending the mass
importation of naturalized citizens’ foreign relatives.
For example, 85 percent of black Americans, who have been
disproportionately impactedby mass
immigration to the U.S., want Trump’s merit-based legal immigration system that
would cut current legal immigration levels in half to raise Americans’ wages
and bring English-proficient, highly-educated immigrants to the U.S., rather
than low-skilled foreign nationals who put downward pressure on black
Americans’ wages.
The White House amnesty plan does not immediately reduce mass
legal immigration levels, allowing more than 1 million immigrants to continue
arriving in the U.S. over the course of potentially two decades. This portion
of the amnesty plan is particularly not in-line with what American voters say
they want in a legal immigration system.
The Harvard-Harris poll found that more than 80 percent of
Americans want legal immigration levels curbed, while previous polling by Pulse
Opinion Research found that 60 percent of Americans say they
prefer a legal immigration system that admits 500,000 legal immigrants a year
or less.
If the U.S. does not reduce current legal immigration levels in
the next two decades, between seven and eight million foreign-born voters will
be added to the American electorate, as Breitbart News reported,
potentially making states like Texas, Florida, and Virginia solid Democrat
voting blocs, as immigrants are vastly more likely to vote for Democrats over
Republicans.
The Hispanic vote in Texas will continue to increase. By 2024 Democrats can
win Texas, Arizona and Florida. A big blue wall of 78 electoral votes. https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/955535598168760321 …
Democrats
like the former Mayor of San Antonio, Julian Castro, now openly admit that mass
immigration to the U.S. is a Democrat-voter initiative.

Are We Heading for an Immigration Sellout?
If I’d told you 2 years ago journalists would scramble to
“report” on the allegation President Donald Trump wanted to fire Special
Counsel Robert Mueller seven months ago like it A) just happened, and B)
actually happened (as in he was fired), you would’ve thought I was lying to
you. But it’s all too real, and someone will likely win a journalism award for
it.
But in an age of frantic reporting over rumors, lies, and
non-stories, the pearl-clutching class chose a faux-scandal over some real news
– that the White House is open to selling out on immigration. Oh, they
mentioned it, but it wasn’t nearly as important as the alleged prospect of the
President wanting to fire someone he has every Constitutional right to fire.
It deserves more than a mention.
The White House announced their end of a deal on the so-called
“DREAMers,” the people the media constantly remind everyone are in the country
illegally “through no fault of their own,” and it’s bad.
First off, can we just say that the country owes these adults
(because they’re all adults now) nothing. Their parents broke the law,
knowingly and willingly. The idea that granting them citizenship is the only
“moral” option because they’re here “through no fault of their own” is
ridiculous. There are millions of Americans with parents in prison, should
their parents be released because leaving someone without their parent is a
situation they’re in “through no fault of their own”? If someone embezzled
millions of dollars and spoiled their kids with the money, should the kids get
to keep the house and all their gifts purchased with stolen money because
they’d obtained them from stolen money “through no fault of their own”? Hell
no.
So why should children of illegal aliens simply be given the
greatest thing the United States has to offer because they weren’t caught
earlier? There is no statute of limitations on violating immigration law –
every day someone is in the country illegally they are breaking the law. It’s a
continual violation. You can’t trespass on someone’s property, but hide in
their treehouse or garage for a week and the trespassing expires, then get to
move into the house.
Worse is President Trump’s plan grants amnesty to 1.8 million
illegal alien DREAMers, not the 700-800 thousand who’ve actually
registered for the program. Why? It doesn’t matter why. A case can be made for
those who did register being granted something, including the ability to stay
in the country legally (though not citizenship), but what is the rationale for
extending it to people who didn’t bother to comply with then-President Barack
Obama’s DACA program? None.
You can argue, and liberals do, that many people who qualified
for DACA didn’t register because they were afraid the government would use that
information to find them and deport them. Who cares? They were offered a chance
to get right with the law and they passed – game over. If they’re so paranoid
that they think the feds are going to hunt them down, that this was all a trick
to “get” them, the odds of them being productive members of society are slim to
none.
If these DREAMers want to be angry at someone it should be their
parents, not the government. Their parents screwed them over, and it’s not our
responsibility to make it right.
The President wants a deal so badly he’s willing to give
Democrats what they want right now in exchange for it. But, as is always the
case with Democrats, some of what they want is never good enough. Chuck Schumer
has rejected
Trump’s offer of 1.8 million new Democratic Party voters in exchange for
a wall and a few other reforms, and activist groups immediately denounced it as
racist because, well, they denounce everything as racist.
What gives me hope that there won’t be a deal is that last bit –
that liberals don’t really want one. If there’s a deal the issue goes away.
Democrats can’t run on “protecting the DREAMers” and activists have one less
issue to fundraise off of. At least until the next group of illegal alien
children start demanding the same special treatment.
And that’s the real problem – it rewards people for something
they shouldn’t be rewarded for. If you needed a new laptop and a generous
friend gave you one, you’d be happy. But if your friend stole it, when the
police found your friend you’d have to give it back, even though you didn’t
steal it or know it was stolen. American citizenship, even 12 years down the
road, shouldn’t be awarded to someone who broke the law, whether they were in
on it or not.
The rest of the President’s offer isn’t so terrible, though I
don’t think it goes far enough. There should be an end to birthright
citizenship too. But the only offer he should have made is permanent resident
status with no path to citizenship for DREAMers. If they want citizenship they
have to go through the process like everyone else, and even a DUI gets them the
boot. Each, at a minimum, should be judged as individuals, evaluated one at a
time. Trump supports merit-based immigration reform, the DREAMers are a good of
a place as any to start with that.
Am I heartless? Probably. But I really don’t care. When, as
happened again this week, I see illegal aliens taking to the streets to DEMAND
our government appease their demands, up to and including allowing their
parents be allowed to stay too, I lose all sympathy. I realize they’re the
fringe, just like every other obnoxious left-wing group, and there are many
more who are fine people, but I don’t care. Our college campuses are already
full of self-entitled leftists demanding special treatment who are natural born
citizens, we don’t need to import more.
This opening offer from the White House has me worrying that the
President’s desire for a deal of any kind will end up with him signing a bill,
any bill, just to check that box. Compassion is the worst rationale for
legislation, it never leads anywhere good.

JOE LEGAL v LA RAZA JOSE ILLEGAL
Here’s how it breaks down; will make you want to be an illegal!
THE
DEVASTATING COST OF MEXICO’S WELFARE STATE IN AMERICA’S OPEN BORDERS
Will Trump’s Amnesty double these figures?
TRUMPERNOMICS: THE SUPER RICH
APPLAUD TWITTER’S TAX PLAN!
The 1986 amnesty was designed to give 400,000 illegal alien
agricultural workers amnesty. After being enacted, though, about 1.1 million
illegal aliens ended up getting amnesty, implying that 700,000 illegal
aliens fraudulently received amnesty,
as noted by the Center for Immigration Studies.
Should this pattern be the same for the White House’s amnesty
plan, the low estimate of 1.8 million illegal aliens receiving a pathway to
U.S. citizenship will quickly and likely become 4.5 million illegal aliens
eventually obtaining citizenship.
Currently, there are nearly 800,000 illegal aliens enrolled in
Obama’s DACA program. The White House amnesty plan would potentially sextuple
this number of illegal aliens receiving amnesty and a pathway to citizenship.
Likewise, as Breitbart News reported, it is
plausible for the White House plan to become entirely open-ended and thus
never-ending, much like the 1986 amnesty, critics and experts say.
A copy of the White House amnesty obtained by Breitbart News
reveals that the DHS secretary would have nearly all control over the size and
implementation of the amnesty with no end date for when illegal aliens can no
longer apply for the pathway to citizenship.
The expansive amnesty attempts to contain the amnesty population
by requiring education, good moral character, and time period constraints and
provisions. But, the expansive amnesty’s requirements are low and not
rigorous, leaving the amnesty open to massive amounts of fraud, like the
1986 amnesty.
Also included in the White House amnesty draft:
- A more than 10-year wait before
legal immigration levels are reduced to provide much-needed relief and wage
increases to America’s working and middle class
- No immediate end to the wage-crushing
importation of blue-collar and white-collar foreign workers
- A repurposing of the 50,000 visas that
currently import foreign nationals through the Visa Lottery
- $25 billion to fund the construction of a
wall along the U.S.-Mexico border
- No provisions to enact mandatory
E-Verify, which would ban employers from hiring illegal aliens
- No provisions to end or punish sanctuary
cities, which protect and harbor criminal illegal aliens
- No provisions to deal with the issue of
ending birthright citizenship, where at least 4.5 million children
have received U.S. citizenship despite their parents
being illegal aliens
The amnestying of 4.5 million illegal aliens under the White
House amnesty would mean an instant depression of American workers’ wages
and an enormous increase in the number of now-legalized foreign workers that
Americans will have to compete for jobs against in the workforce.
Every year, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 foreign nationals,
with the vast majority deriving from family-based chain migration, whereby
newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives
to the U.S. In 2016, the legal and illegal immigrant population reached a
record high of 44 million. By 2023, the Center for Immigration Studies
estimates that the legal and illegal immigrant population of the U.S.
will make up nearly 15 percent of the entire U.S. population.
Mass immigration has come at the expense of America’s working
and middle class, which has suffered from poor job growth, stagnant wages, and
increased public costs to offset the importation of millions of low-skilled
foreign nationals.
Four million young Americans enter the workforce every year, but
their job opportunities are further diminished as the U.S. imports roughly two
new foreign workers for every four American workers who enter the workforce.
Even though researchers say 30 percent of the workforce could lose their
jobs due to automation by 2030, the U.S. has not stopped importing more than a
million foreign nationals every year.
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 with whom
working-class Americans are forced to compete. In 2016, the U.S. brought in about
1.8 million mostly low-skilled immigrants.
For white-collar American workers, mass immigration has become a
tool for the big business lobby, cheap labor industry, and Silicon Valley
elites to replace U.S. citizens with cheaper foreign workers. For example, as Breitbart
News reported, 71 percent
of tech workers in coveted high-paying, white-collar Silicon Valley jobs are
foreign-born, while the tech industry in the San Francisco, Oakland, and
Hayward area is made up of 50 percent foreign-born tech workers.
The White House amnesty plan was crafted despite recent
Harvard-Harris polling revealing the
massive popularity of Trump’s pro-American immigration agenda, including
reducing legal immigration levels, building a border wall, and ending the mass
importation of naturalized citizens’ foreign relatives.
For example, 85 percent of black Americans, who have been
disproportionately impactedby mass
immigration to the U.S., want Trump’s merit-based legal immigration system that
would cut current legal immigration levels in half to raise Americans’ wages
and bring English-proficient, highly-educated immigrants to the U.S., rather
than low-skilled foreign nationals who put downward pressure on black
Americans’ wages.
The White House amnesty plan does not immediately reduce mass
legal immigration levels, allowing more than 1 million immigrants to continue
arriving in the U.S. over the course of potentially two decades. This portion
of the amnesty plan is particularly not in-line with what American voters say
they want in a legal immigration system.
The Harvard-Harris poll found that more than 80 percent of
Americans want legal immigration levels curbed, while previous polling by Pulse
Opinion Research found that 60 percent of Americans say they
prefer a legal immigration system that admits 500,000 legal immigrants a year
or less.
If the U.S. does not reduce current legal immigration levels in
the next two decades, between seven and eight million foreign-born voters will
be added to the American electorate, as Breitbart News reported,
potentially making states like Texas, Florida, and Virginia solid Democrat
voting blocs, as immigrants are vastly more likely to vote for Democrats over
Republicans.
The Hispanic vote in Texas will continue to increase. By 2024 Democrats can
win Texas, Arizona and Florida. A big blue wall of 78 electoral votes. https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/955535598168760321 …
Democrats
like the former Mayor of San Antonio, Julian Castro, now openly admit that mass
immigration to the U.S. is a Democrat-voter initiative.

Are We Heading for an Immigration Sellout?
If I’d told you 2 years ago journalists would scramble to
“report” on the allegation President Donald Trump wanted to fire Special
Counsel Robert Mueller seven months ago like it A) just happened, and B)
actually happened (as in he was fired), you would’ve thought I was lying to
you. But it’s all too real, and someone will likely win a journalism award for
it.
But in an age of frantic reporting over rumors, lies, and
non-stories, the pearl-clutching class chose a faux-scandal over some real news
– that the White House is open to selling out on immigration. Oh, they
mentioned it, but it wasn’t nearly as important as the alleged prospect of the
President wanting to fire someone he has every Constitutional right to fire.
It deserves more than a mention.
The White House announced their end of a deal on the so-called
“DREAMers,” the people the media constantly remind everyone are in the country
illegally “through no fault of their own,” and it’s bad.
First off, can we just say that the country owes these adults
(because they’re all adults now) nothing. Their parents broke the law,
knowingly and willingly. The idea that granting them citizenship is the only
“moral” option because they’re here “through no fault of their own” is
ridiculous. There are millions of Americans with parents in prison, should
their parents be released because leaving someone without their parent is a
situation they’re in “through no fault of their own”? If someone embezzled
millions of dollars and spoiled their kids with the money, should the kids get
to keep the house and all their gifts purchased with stolen money because
they’d obtained them from stolen money “through no fault of their own”? Hell
no.
So why should children of illegal aliens simply be given the
greatest thing the United States has to offer because they weren’t caught
earlier? There is no statute of limitations on violating immigration law –
every day someone is in the country illegally they are breaking the law. It’s a
continual violation. You can’t trespass on someone’s property, but hide in
their treehouse or garage for a week and the trespassing expires, then get to
move into the house.
Worse is President Trump’s plan grants amnesty to 1.8 million
illegal alien DREAMers, not the 700-800 thousand who’ve actually
registered for the program. Why? It doesn’t matter why. A case can be made for
those who did register being granted something, including the ability to stay
in the country legally (though not citizenship), but what is the rationale for
extending it to people who didn’t bother to comply with then-President Barack
Obama’s DACA program? None.
You can argue, and liberals do, that many people who qualified
for DACA didn’t register because they were afraid the government would use that
information to find them and deport them. Who cares? They were offered a chance
to get right with the law and they passed – game over. If they’re so paranoid
that they think the feds are going to hunt them down, that this was all a trick
to “get” them, the odds of them being productive members of society are slim to
none.
If these DREAMers want to be angry at someone it should be their
parents, not the government. Their parents screwed them over, and it’s not our
responsibility to make it right.
The President wants a deal so badly he’s willing to give
Democrats what they want right now in exchange for it. But, as is always the
case with Democrats, some of what they want is never good enough. Chuck Schumer
has rejected
Trump’s offer of 1.8 million new Democratic Party voters in exchange for
a wall and a few other reforms, and activist groups immediately denounced it as
racist because, well, they denounce everything as racist.
What gives me hope that there won’t be a deal is that last bit –
that liberals don’t really want one. If there’s a deal the issue goes away.
Democrats can’t run on “protecting the DREAMers” and activists have one less
issue to fundraise off of. At least until the next group of illegal alien
children start demanding the same special treatment.
And that’s the real problem – it rewards people for something
they shouldn’t be rewarded for. If you needed a new laptop and a generous
friend gave you one, you’d be happy. But if your friend stole it, when the
police found your friend you’d have to give it back, even though you didn’t
steal it or know it was stolen. American citizenship, even 12 years down the
road, shouldn’t be awarded to someone who broke the law, whether they were in
on it or not.
The rest of the President’s offer isn’t so terrible, though I
don’t think it goes far enough. There should be an end to birthright
citizenship too. But the only offer he should have made is permanent resident
status with no path to citizenship for DREAMers. If they want citizenship they
have to go through the process like everyone else, and even a DUI gets them the
boot. Each, at a minimum, should be judged as individuals, evaluated one at a
time. Trump supports merit-based immigration reform, the DREAMers are a good of
a place as any to start with that.
Am I heartless? Probably. But I really don’t care. When, as
happened again this week, I see illegal aliens taking to the streets to DEMAND
our government appease their demands, up to and including allowing their
parents be allowed to stay too, I lose all sympathy. I realize they’re the
fringe, just like every other obnoxious left-wing group, and there are many
more who are fine people, but I don’t care. Our college campuses are already
full of self-entitled leftists demanding special treatment who are natural born
citizens, we don’t need to import more.
This opening offer from the White House has me worrying that the
President’s desire for a deal of any kind will end up with him signing a bill,
any bill, just to check that box. Compassion is the worst rationale for
legislation, it never leads anywhere good.

Kelli Ward: Ronald Reagan’s
Biggest Regret Was Granting Amnesty and Trusting Congress on Border Security
“President
Reagan’s biggest regret as president was granting amnesty and then trusting
Congress to deliver on border security,” said 2018 Republican Senate
candidate Kelli Ward, expressing
opposition to the White House’s recently released amnesty proposal.
Ward’s comments came in an interview with Breitbart News’s
Washington Political Editor Matt Boyle on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday.
“We have to learn from our history,” advised Ward. “In 1986,
Ronald Reagan–great president, amazing conservative, lover of liberty and of
America–granted amnesty; and Ed Rollins, who is helping me with my campaign,
told me that President Reagan’s biggest regret as president was granting
amnesty and then trusting Congress to deliver on border security. It didn’t
happen then, and it’s not going to happen now if we do this in the wrong
order.”
Amnesty advocates seek to mislead Americans with the euphemisms
“permanent solution” and “comprehensive immigration reform” as rhetorical rebrandings
of amnesty, said Ward.
“A ‘permanent solution’ is amnesty,” said Ward. “Just the same way
that ‘comprehensive immigration reform’ is code for amnesty, so is ‘permanent
solution.’”
Ward noted her primary Republican opponent, Martha McSally,
holding a “D” rating with NumbersUSA, an immigration-focused
organization pursuing an end to chain migration, the visa lottery, and the
issuance of employment-based visas for foreign workers of “non-extraordinary”
skills already available within the American labor force.
“Look at her NumbersUSA score. She is down at 27 or 28 percent.
You don’t get a score of 27 or 28 out of 100 on immigration if you are for
border security, building the wall, stopping illegal immigration, limiting
chain migration if that’s truly who you are. … She’s in the D- to F-rated
senator class at every conservative rating across the board. I don’t want another
D- or F-rated senator like John McCain or Jeff Flake, and neither do the people
of Arizona.”
Martha McSally is “Jeff Flake 2.0” and an “establishment
politician,” said Ward. “Her voting record is clear, she’s voted nine times for
amnesty.” “She’s been in the mold of the GOP establishment, you know, Mitch
McConnell is behind this effort to get another Jeff Flake … into the United
States Senate. We in Arizona have to stop it.”
Ward advised President Donald Trump to maintain his previously
stated commitments to reject amnesty proposals.
“This is the issue that largely got President Trump elected, this
immigration and border security issue,” said Ward. “I know if he stands firm on
the promises that he made to build the wall, secure the border, and not offer
amnesty, and remember those Angel Moms and Dads … who lost their children at
the hands of illegal immigrants–he promised them no amnesty–I know that if he
stands firm on those principles, we will achieve the immigration reform and
border security that are necessary without planting the seeds of future
immigration problems down the road.”
Ward aligned herself with President Donald Trump’s “Make America
Great Again” vision, saying she has been “fighting for the America First agenda
before it was ever called that.”

Mexico drug cartels stealing billions of dollars in oil from
Pemex
By Rick Moran
Reuters has an astonishing report about Mexican drug cartels tapping
into oil pipelines owned by the state oil company Pemex in order to steal
enormous amounts of fuel from the Mexican oil industry.
Apparently,
oil has become a target of the cartels because it is cheap to steal and the
risk of being caught is negligible. The cartels employ several methods to steal
the oil, including bribing and threatening Pemex employees and directly tapping
the pipelines that bring gasoline and other fuels to the people.
The
practice has skyrocketed over the last few years, scaring off foreign investors
and severely cutting into the profits of one of Mexico's largest industries.
Fuel theft
is not new or unique to Mexico. But cartels are taking it to calamitous new
dimensions and, in the process, bolstering their bottom line.
“Fuel theft
just makes these groups more powerful,” according to one senior official from
the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, who asked not to be identified.
By
targeting refineries, already suffering from a lack of investment, Mexico’s
most notorious criminals gain access to nerve centers for much of the country’s
fuel supply. That threatens an oil industry that accounts for about 8 percent
of Mexico’s economy and creates yet more uncertainty for a country already
reeling from U.S. threats to dismantle the North American Free Trade Agreement.
“It hurts
the national coffers, weakens national security and hinders the reform and
development of Mexico’s energy market,” said Gustavo Mohar, a former Mexican
energy and intelligence official.
Between
2011 and 2016, the number of unauthorized taps discovered on Mexico’s fuel
lines nearly quintupled, according to a recent report by the federal auditor.
Repair costs surged almost tenfold, to 1.77 billion pesos ($95 million).
A May 2017
study, commissioned by the national energy regulator and obtained by Reuters
via a freedom of information request, found that thieves, between 2009 and
2016, had tapped pipelines roughly every 1.4 kms (0.86 mi) along Pemex’s
approximately 14,000 km pipeline network.
After
decades of poor upkeep, the refineries are bleeding money as well as fuel. In
addition to unscheduled outages, which cause big operational losses,
maintenance problems have led to fatal accidents, including fires and
explosions.
Together,
the refineries have accumulated annual operating losses of about $5 billion in
recent years. Production of refined products, meanwhile, fell to just over
700,000 barrels per day in 2017. That’s about half the production levels at the
refineries’ peak in 1994.
It's
estimated that annual losses in revenue to the Mexican government as a
result of the thefts amounts to more than a billion dollars.
The drop in
production over the last couple of decades is due to Mexico's antiquated and
inefficient oil infrastructure. Energy reforms in 2014 was supposed to
encourage foreign investment in the oil industry, changing long standing policy
that prevented it. But there have been few takers because of Mexico's downward
spiral into failed state status as a result of violence by the cartels.
Efforts by
Mexico’s state-owned oil company Pemex to attract about $5 billion in capital
to help modernize its two largest refineries so far have proved futile,
according to two people familiar with the process who declined to be named
because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
The company
is seeking a joint venture partner for its Salina Cruz refinery on the West
Coast. It’s also looking for an investor to complete construction of a coking
unit to process heavy crude at its Tula refinery just north of Mexico’s
capital.
Among those
to rebuff overtures from Pemex over the past year are U.S. refining giants
Valero Energy Corp (VLO.N) and Tesoro Corp TSO.N, the people said.
Valero and
Tesoro declined to comment. Those and other companies were deterred by
operational, political and market concerns, the people said.
Pemex
officials said they “categorically reject” the notion that they are struggling
to find investors.
“There has

Reuters has an astonishing report about Mexican drug cartels tapping
into oil pipelines owned by the state oil company Pemex in order to steal
enormous amounts of fuel from the Mexican oil industry.
Apparently,
oil has become a target of the cartels because it is cheap to steal and the
risk of being caught is negligible. The cartels employ several methods to steal
the oil, including bribing and threatening Pemex employees and directly tapping
the pipelines that bring gasoline and other fuels to the people.
The
practice has skyrocketed over the last few years, scaring off foreign investors
and severely cutting into the profits of one of Mexico's largest industries.
Fuel theft
is not new or unique to Mexico. But cartels are taking it to calamitous new
dimensions and, in the process, bolstering their bottom line.
“Fuel theft
just makes these groups more powerful,” according to one senior official from
the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, who asked not to be identified.
By
targeting refineries, already suffering from a lack of investment, Mexico’s
most notorious criminals gain access to nerve centers for much of the country’s
fuel supply. That threatens an oil industry that accounts for about 8 percent
of Mexico’s economy and creates yet more uncertainty for a country already
reeling from U.S. threats to dismantle the North American Free Trade Agreement.
“It hurts
the national coffers, weakens national security and hinders the reform and
development of Mexico’s energy market,” said Gustavo Mohar, a former Mexican
energy and intelligence official.
Between
2011 and 2016, the number of unauthorized taps discovered on Mexico’s fuel
lines nearly quintupled, according to a recent report by the federal auditor.
Repair costs surged almost tenfold, to 1.77 billion pesos ($95 million).
A May 2017
study, commissioned by the national energy regulator and obtained by Reuters
via a freedom of information request, found that thieves, between 2009 and
2016, had tapped pipelines roughly every 1.4 kms (0.86 mi) along Pemex’s
approximately 14,000 km pipeline network.
After
decades of poor upkeep, the refineries are bleeding money as well as fuel. In
addition to unscheduled outages, which cause big operational losses,
maintenance problems have led to fatal accidents, including fires and
explosions.
Together,
the refineries have accumulated annual operating losses of about $5 billion in
recent years. Production of refined products, meanwhile, fell to just over
700,000 barrels per day in 2017. That’s about half the production levels at the
refineries’ peak in 1994.
It's
estimated that annual losses in revenue to the Mexican government as a
result of the thefts amounts to more than a billion dollars.
The drop in
production over the last couple of decades is due to Mexico's antiquated and
inefficient oil infrastructure. Energy reforms in 2014 was supposed to
encourage foreign investment in the oil industry, changing long standing policy
that prevented it. But there have been few takers because of Mexico's downward
spiral into failed state status as a result of violence by the cartels.
Efforts by
Mexico’s state-owned oil company Pemex to attract about $5 billion in capital
to help modernize its two largest refineries so far have proved futile,
according to two people familiar with the process who declined to be named
because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
The company
is seeking a joint venture partner for its Salina Cruz refinery on the West
Coast. It’s also looking for an investor to complete construction of a coking
unit to process heavy crude at its Tula refinery just north of Mexico’s
capital.
Among those
to rebuff overtures from Pemex over the past year are U.S. refining giants
Valero Energy Corp (VLO.N) and Tesoro Corp TSO.N, the people said.
Valero and
Tesoro declined to comment. Those and other companies were deterred by
operational, political and market concerns, the people said.
Pemex
officials said they “categorically reject” the notion that they are struggling
to find investors.
“There has
been interest,” a company spokesman said Thursday. “We’ve had talks with many
companies whose names we can’t reveal.”

said publicly it’s seeking investment from Korean, Japanese and Chinese firms.

Tijuana Judge Smuggled 38 Pounds of Cocaine into U.S., Say Feds
A municipal court judge from Tijuana was arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol on February 10, 2018, after he attempted to smuggle 38.75 pounds of cocaine into the U.S. at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, according to a recently released criminal complaint filed in the Southern District of California.
The Tijuana municipal judge identified as Eduardo Sais-Peinado, a Mexican citizen, was crossing alone in a 2007 Jeep Liberty at approximately 6:22 pm when he was contacted by a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Agent conducting inspections in the pre-primary lanes of the point of entry. Sais-Peinado presented a border crossing card and advised that he was heading to Chula Vista and claimed he had nothing to declare when asked. Sais-Peinado further related that the Jeep belonged to him and only he and his girlfriend used it, according to the complaint.
As part of their inspection, Custom and Border Patrol Agents used a density meter to measure various parts of the vehicle that are known to contain contraband. During inspection, a high reading was detected on the door panels and once again, Sais-Peinado claimed that he had nothing to declare.
According to the complaint, officers then utilized the services of a K-9 sniffer who alerted to a door which resulted in an x-ray being performed, detecting abnormalities in the panels. A subsequent search of the vehicle produced 11 packages of a white powdery substance that tested positive for cocaine. Officers also located an additional five parcels in the rear door panel believed to be cocaine.
Sais-Peinado was placed under arrest with drug smuggling and possession charges related to the seizure.
According to Mexican media reports, Sais-Peinado was appointed as a municipal court judge on March 26, 2015, and received a monthly salary of $16,776 pesos ($898.62 USD). According to Tijuana officials, Sais-Peinado was fired from his job on the same day of his arrest but claimed he was relieved for other matters related to his work.
Sais-Peinado pleaded not guilty to the charges of cocaine smuggling and has agreed to remain in federal custody pending court proceedings.
