Tuesday on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) called on governors to push back against the Biden administration’s immigration policies, which are having a direct impact on their states.
“I mean, it’s — it’s crazy what’s going on at the southern border,” he said. “You know, it’s really about power for the Democrat Party. I mean, they are opening our southern border, and folks are pouring through because they know what happens when they get here. They’ll have children. Those children will become United States citizens. And those citizens will vote Democrat. That’s the only reason that the Democrats are putting up with this basic open border.”
He credited his own governor, Gov. Bill Lee (R-TN), for a strongly worded warning about refugees.
“I mean, the governors are pushing back,” Green said. “My governor in Tennessee told the Biden administration don’t bring the refugees here. There’s reports that they’re using Air Force aircraft now to fly refugees, the illegal aliens all over the country. And so the governors have got to push back. I actually have a bill that we filed that would allow the governors a say in this. They would actually get to approve whether or not the federal government turns every state in the nation into a border state. But yes, he absolutely should have a say. His state should have a say.”
Many of the deported migrants who are now getting special invites to re-enter the U.S. are so poor they need government aid for housing and healthcare, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The admission came in a July 19 statement to progressive contractors who want to be paid for wrapping the poor and unskilled migrants in the taxpayer-funded federal welfare system. The DHS statement said:
When appropriate, the Contractor shall collaborate with other providers, contractors, and stakeholders to help ensure a “wraparound” approach to services. Services include but are not limited to: housing, primary health care, nutrition assistance, legal assistance, immigration and travel processes.
The housing aid is being offered to lawfully deported migrants who are being invited to return by Joe Biden’s pro-migration deputies. Progressives argue the aid is deserved because the migrants were unfairly separated from their children during the deportation process.
Yet any housing given to migrants will raise Americans’ rents , including the rents paid by the poor and minority Americans whom progressives claim to support.
The potential winners in any welfare wraparound contract include the university-trained progressives in the various pro-migration advocacy groups. These progressives work with groups such as the ACLU and large pro-migration groups such as Kids In Need of Defense (KIND), which was created by Brad Smith, Microsoft’s very wealthy pro-migration president .
The progressives serve as cheerleaders and enablers for investors who want the government to extract poor consumers, renters, and workers from other countries for use in the U.S. economy. The progressives embrace their supportive role, even though the inflow gradually pushes many millions of ordinary Americans out of decent jobs and good housing .
On July 21, Axios.com allowed the progressives to make their pitch for a wraparound contract:
At least a third of migrant families separated at the border during the Trump administration and reunited in the U.S. so far under President Biden were homeless initially, three people familiar with estimates discussed by advocates and government officials told Axios.Why it matters: As the number of reunions grows, such homelessness rates have the potential to significantly strain non-governmental organizations already plagued by limited resources.
Some 41 family reunifications have been completed on Biden’s watch. With an estimated 2,100 families still separated, that’s too small a sample to gauge with certainty the extent of the housing needs moving forward.
“Parents are coming back with very little to no resources and coming back to very precarious situations,” said Christie Turner-Herbas, KIND’s director of special programs.
The Axios report also included a warning to Biden’s deputies: “‘It should be in the Biden administration’s interest not to see these families … end up in homeless shelters,’ Lee Gelernt, the ACLU’s lead attorney in its family separation lawsuit, told Axios.”
Perhaps 2,000 of the deported migrants are being invited back in by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who has a limited “parole” authority to admit people “for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.”
“Our highest priority is to reunite these families … It’s not about righting the wrong of the past, it’s about restoring the conscience of our government,” Mayorkas said as he touted his return of four deported migrants in a May 4 appearance on MSNBC.
The adult migrants were temporarily separated from their children as the adults were processed in the criminal courts while the children were sheltered in other centers. Some of the parents were sent home without their children — and some choose to separate themselves from their children by leaving them behind in the United States so the children could apply for asylum.
Investors and progressives stigmatized this law enforcement as “family separation,” and “zero tolerance,” as they opposed almost any effort to curb the flow of consumers, renters, and migrants across the border. The pro-enforcement policy began in July 2017 and lasted until January 2021, when it was quickly ended by Biden’s pro-migration administration.
Biden’s deputies say the policy separated at perhaps 4,000 children from the parents amid the vast inflow of 2 million migrants. But Trump largely ended the migration inflow from mid-2019 once his deputies pushed out a series of reforms that were fought in court by the ACLU and other investor-funded lawyer groups. Trump’s reduction in migration help nudge up salaries for Americans for forcing employers to compete for American workers in a tight labor market.
In general, legal and illegal migration moves wealth from employees to employers , from families to investors , from young to old , from children to their parents , from homebuyers to investors , from technology to stoop labor . Biden’s revived federal delivery of legal and illegal labor also helps to move wealth — and social status — from heartland red states to the coastal blue states and from the rural districts to the urban districts within each state.
Obviously, investors want to import more migrants — even very poor migrants — because they spike sales , rental rates , profits, and stock values .
The DHS statement promises that aid to the migrants — dubbed “class members” — will be free of any obligations or costs:
Terms of establishing contact for pre-reunification and post-reunification include:
Informing the class member that this effort is NOT for DHS, HHS or any government entity to track them, but rather to aid in their recovery from traumatic separation.
Informing the class member that engaging in these support or mental health services, or even reaching out for more information shall not affect any efforts they may have been making towards obtaining legal status, their housing, any current or future social services, any work they may be engaged in for their livelihood (whether authorized or unauthorized) and their right to obtain a work permit when authorized.
In June, Mayorkas said he will put the dignity of foreign migrants “foremost in our efforts.” For example, he ended the Trump administration’s “Public Charge” barring the award of green cards to migrants who would rely on taxpayer aid. “I felt, and we collectively in the Department felt, that the rescission of that rule would not only restore dignity to the process, but adhere to the rule of law,” he claimed .
Jessica Vaughan, the Center’s director of policy studies, explains how Biden’s catch-and-release policies are attracting migrants to the United States border and expects any amnesty to drive the numbers up further. Border apprehensions have hit a new milestone with more than a million apprehensions at the southwest border so far this year. CBP arrested more than 180,000 in June, with family unit numbers being 23% higher than the prior month. The numbers are a surprise as during the summer months these numbers have historically fallen.
Washington, D.C. (July 22, 2021) – Immigration has dominated headlines over the past week, and this week’s episode of
"Parsing Immigration Policy" brings together Center for Immigration Studies experts to analyze these issues. The roundtable discussion covers the recent federal court ruling on DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), the newly released
border apprehension numbers for June , and the possibility of Senate passage of an amnesty via a budget "reconciliation" rule.
Robert Law, the Center’s director of regulatory affairs and policy, weighs-in on the
federal court ruling on DACA , which created President Obama’s executive amnesty program that awarded work permits and Social Security numbers to illegal aliens. Although the judge found the program to be an “illegally implemented program,” he ruled that DACA recipients, along with their employers, states, and loved ones, have come to rely on the DACA program, and his decision does not revoke work permits from the current DACA population. What are the implications of this decision? Will it be appealed?

Analysis: Joe Biden ‘Set to Surge’ Illegal Alien Population Across U.S. John Moore/Getty Images 3:04
President Joe Biden is “set to surge” the number of illegal aliens living across the United States, new analysis provided to Breitbart News details.
The analysis , conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), projects that the nation’s illegal alien population will increase dramatically as a result of Biden’s mass migration agenda where border crossers are routinely being released into the U.S. interior, most illegal aliens are evading deportation, and there are no plans for a crackdown on visa overstays.
The illegal alien population “could exceed 20 million” if Biden “implements all of his preferred policies” by the end of 2024, the analysis estimates.
“… the illegal alien population is set to surge under the Biden administration,” FAIR’s analysis states.
As evidence, FAIR notes that even as former President Donald Trump implemented strict border controls, boosted deportations of illegal aliens, and closed a number of visa loopholes, the illegal alien population “grew considerably” from their estimate of 12.5 million at the start of 2017 to 14.5 million by the end of 2020.
“This can be attributed to a number of reasons, including a strong economy throughout most of [Trump’s] presidency,” the analysis states:
However, it can also be attributed to a failure to enforce some existing laws or implement important policies that would deter migrants from coming to the United States illegally, such as mandatory E-Verify or the prosecution of businesses that hire those who are not authorized to work in the United States.

Biden’s recent plans to slip an amnesty into a federal budget, drafted by Senate Democrats, would allow millions of illegal aliens would have “negative impacts on taxpayers,” the analysis states — one being that they would “immediately become eligible for federal welfare programs.”
“Previous reports by FAIR have revealed that illegal aliens earn far less on average than American citizens or lawfully present immigrants,” the analysis continues.
The flood of illegal immigration since Biden took office, the analysis states, is a direct result of Biden’s “promises of amnesty” in addition to his gutting of interior immigration enforcement and ending of most Trump-era border controls.
Analysis by Steven Kopits of Princeton Policy Advisors estimates that the Biden administration will drive nearly 1.7 million illegal aliens to the U.S.-Mexico border by the end of 2021 — making it the worst year for illegal immigration in American history.
For perspective, should nearly 1.7 million illegal aliens arrive at the border this year, this would be a foreign population three times the population of Wyoming.
