The outcry has begun to impeach Joe Biden. He should be. Dan Bongino is noteworthy in making the call. And not for “light and transient causes ,” to borrow from the Declaration of Independence. Not to stage show trials, like Pelosi, Schumer, and other Democrats did to Donald Trump.
If the United States had a recall referendum provision – as otherwise dysfunctional California does -- canvassers would secure signatures to hold a Biden recall vote in record time, no doubt.
In just about seven months in office, Biden is surpassing what it took James Buchanan and Jimmy Carter – two of the most wretched presidents in U.S. history – to achieve in four years. Fecklessness (Buchanan) and bumbling cluelessness (Carter) aren’t grounds for impeachment.
Alas, neither is ongoing deterioration due to dementia. That’s the 25th Amendment’s turf . Biden’s policies are grounds, though; they’re rife with calculated malice and, in one instance, as Biden inadvertently confessed, unconstitutional. His actions violate his oath of office .
From Bongino, per Yahoo! News, August 6 :
Bongino argued Biden has invited an "invasion" at the U.S.-Mexico border, as the number of migrants attempting to cross the barrier illegally breaks records , and health concerns are raised as some illegal immigrants have tested positive for COVID-19 as they are dumped into communities by federal officials to await immigration proceedings.
Two million illegals are anticipated to cross into the U.S. this year alone. That’s like moving an entire state’s population (New Mexico – 2,059,179) into the country in 12 months.
The illegals onslaught this year is just a preview. What will the White House backed invasion look like in out-years ’22, ’23, and ’24?
A couple of million new illegals in 2021 alone will impose enormous burdens and costs on states and localities -- on healthcare, schools, and law enforcement. Welfare and housing will take big hits, too.
If you’re unconvinced, go ask the good people of McAllen, Texas , which is a beachhead in the Biden-prompted invasion.
Biden is dissolving our southern border. Isn’t that grounds for impeachment? Isn’t it a president’s duty to “protect and defend” the nation by preventing hordes of illegals from entering the country? But dereliction is Biden’s lesser offense. His southern border policy flouts his duty as chief executive.
Biden’s defiance isn’t the result of misplaced compassion or incompetence.
Very naïve Americans persist in characterizing the border crisis as due to the Biden administration’s bungling mismanagement.
That’s simply not true. As Tucker Carlson repeatedly points out, the southern border breakdown is premeditated . The White House and congressional Democrats know what they’re doing and why.
The Heritage Foundation’s Tim Murtaugh wrote on July 30 :
The fact is that Biden campaigned for president promising an array of enticements for people to break our laws to enter this country. He promised amnesty for those already here, taxpayer --provided health care, work permits, support for sanctuary cities, and a cessation of deportations.
Since becoming president, he also paused construction of the border wall and reversed the “Remain in Mexico ” policy, which delayed entry for those seeking asylum.
The de facto dissolution of the nation’s southern border is being undertaken to achieve a longstanding Democrat aim: to flood the nation with illegals, thereby creating an ever-expanding government-dependent class whose votes can be “harvested.” Holding underclass blacks in generational poverty and welfare bondage is insufficient, politically.
As the fraudulently named “For the People Act ” attests, Democrats seek to permanently undermine honest elections. Adding successive waves of illegals to the U.S. radically changes the nation’s dynamics, culturally and politically.
While Democrats see crass political advantages in overturning the culture and corrupting elections, their hard-left allies are delighted to see the country “deconstructed,” i.e., ruined by illegal throngs. Destruction of the existing order is foundational to Marxist doctrine; the Communist Manifesto is explicit on this account .
Meanwhile, bloodless big business titans have long pimped for open-ended migration to satisfy their cheap labor appetites. It’s a key reason why big business has fallen in with Democrats.
Biden’s undeclared, though very deliberate, open border policy is a win-win for his party’s chief factions.
While most talk centers on COVID-infected illegals crossing into the U.S., that’s just Step One in the White House’s scheme.
At the White House’s direction, illegals are being disperse across the nation , including the COVID sick. Biden’s White House is knowingly and willfully spreading disease.
Concurrently, in an act of unbridled hypocrisy, Biden and his allies -- in and out of government -- are beating the drums for a reimposition of mask mandates, compulsory COVID vaccinations, and lockdowns. “Stop the spread” is now grim parody.
Among the illegals are an assortment of hardened criminals -- many are gang members involved in the illicit drug trade.
Fentanyl is big business for cartels -- and Xi’s China , too. Fentanyl is a less conspicuous drug to smuggle; it’s easier to conceal and transport than marijuana, heroin, or cocaine. A little of it packs a big, lethal punch. Hence, smuggling fentanyl is less risky while promising outsized profits to cartel cutthroats and China’s producers.
Are we to believe that Biden and his bright, sophisticated White House cadres are unaware of the “bad hombres” among the hordes trekking across the Mexican-American border? Are we gullible enough to believe that they’re insensible to the untold damage that will be inflicted throughout the country by opening the gates to drug thugs?
Biden, his cabinet, and White House staffers damn well know what’s happening. They’ve made a cold calculation that their party benefits, and that outweighs the injuries done to citizens. Biden granting entry to criminals alone is impeachable.
Another article of impeachment suggested by Bongino: Biden’s eviction moratorium (or, alternatively, the “Let’s Keep Screwing Landlords Initiative”).
This may seem like small change compared to erasing the southern border, but the eviction moratorium amounts to an insidious attack on property rights.
Again, from Yahoo! News:
He [Bongino] also invoked the Biden administration's eviction moratorium , which came this week despite the Supreme Court signaling in June that an earlier moratorium expiring at the end of last month could only be extended by Congress. The Justice Department argued in federal court the new, more limited moratorium is meant to protect U.S. citizens from going homeless as the delta variant of COVID-19 rages across the country.
The hard left, which drives much of the Democrats’ agenda, is mobilizing in support of Biden’s decision to extend the moratorium.
From Rair Foundation USA , August 7:
The Party for Socialism & Liberation is using their front groups “Cancel the Rents ” and the ANSWER Coalition to advertise the protest [conducted this past Saturday], which is being held along with the “Housing Justice League ,” a socialist organization that sprang up from the Occupy Wall Street movement and works closely with the Atlanta chapter of America’s largest Marxist organization, the Democratic Socialists of America.
At a news conference last week, Biden practically admitted to the unconstitutionality of extending the moratorium, but is doing so boldly anyway.
Impeach Biden? You bet. Of course, a Democrat-controlled House and Senate won’t act to impeach and remove Biden from office. Impeachment will be up to Republicans should they take the U.S. House in November 2022. That is, should elections chicanery not deny them a majority. With a majority, presumptive speaker Kevin McCarthy will have to keep the GOP’s surrender faction in line to achieve impeachment.
For Capitol Hill conservatives, the imperative is to build the case for Biden’s impeachment and educate voters as a run-up to next year’s midterms. The starting gun has been fired.

Swing State Democrats Tank ‘Hire American’ Rule in Infrastructure Bill Alex Wong/Getty Images A handful of Senate Democrats, representing swing states, joined the majority of their caucus in helping tank a plan that would have required American infrastructure jobs go to American citizens and legal immigrants, not illegal aliens.
Last week, Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) proposed an amendment to the infrastructure bill that would have prohibited federal funds going to any entity that failed to enroll in and comply with the E-Verify program to ensure illegal aliens are not hired for infrastructure jobs over Americans and legal immigrants.
The amendment failed when a number of swing state Senate Democrats joined most of their colleagues in opposing the “Hire American” requirement, including:
Joe Manchin (D-WV) Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) Jon Tester (D-MT) Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) Jacky Rosen (D-NV) Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) Michael Bennet (D-CO) Sherrod Brown (D-OH) Bob Casey (D-PA) Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) John Hickenlooper (D-CO) Gary Peters (D-MI) The “Hire American” amendment was supported by 53 Senators — including all Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Jon Ossoff (D-GA), and Raphael Warnock (D-GA).
On Tuesday, without securing the “Hire American” requirement, 19 Senate Republicans helped pass the infrastructure bill.
Those Senate Republicans include Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Roy Blunt (R-MO), Richard Burr (R-NC), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Rob Portman (R-OH), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Jim Risch (R-ID), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), John Hoeven (R-ND), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Mitt Romney (R-UT).

Senate Republicans Greenlight Outsourcing of U.S. Manufacturing Jobs with Infrastructure Bill Passage Mladen Antonov/AFP/Getty Images 4:13
A group of 19 Senate Republicans helped greenlight outsourcing of American manufacturing jobs with the passage of the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill that provides giant carve-outs for industries to bypass “Buy American” rules.
On Tuesday, 19 Senate Republicans joined Senate Democrats in a 69-30 vote to pass the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Those Senate Republicans include:
Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Roy Blunt (R-MO), Richard Burr (R-NC), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Rob Portman (R-OH), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Jim Risch (R-ID), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), John Hoeven (R-ND), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Mitt Romney (R-UT)
As Breitbart News reported , the bill allows the heads of federal agencies to issue waivers to corporations to work around Buy American requirements if they consider the requirement “inconsistent with the public interest,” does not meet “satisfactory quality,” or if they believe buying American will increase costs for the projects.
The bill reads:
The head of a Federal agency that applies a domestic content procurement preference under this section may waive the application of that preference in any case in which the head of the Federal agency finds that:
applying the domestic content procurement preference would be inconsistent with the public interest; types of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities or of a satisfactory quality; or the inclusion of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent. The waivers will only be reviewed every five years, according to the bill, and will have to be justified in the Federal Register with a public comment period of no fewer than 30 days.
Due to China’s dominance in steel and manufactruing, the carve-outs are likely to be a massive benefit for corporations in China that often are linked to the Chinese Communist Party and party officials.
Republican support for the infrastucture plan, with the Buy American waivers included, comes even as Republican and conservative voters increasingly oppose foreign imports — considering them a threat to the nation’s domestic manufacturing industries — and huge opposition to China’s economic rise.
In April, 51 percent of Republican voters told Gallup pollsters they held a negative view of foreign trade, specifically foreign imports, seeing it as a threat to the U.S. economy. By comparison, in the year 2000, 59 percent of Republican voters had a positive view of foreign trade.
Meanwhile, the latest Pew Research Center survey finds that Republicans who now say that limiting China’s influence and power is a top priority has increased from 39 percent in 2018 to 63 percent in 2021. The loss of American jobs to China remains one of Americans’ biggest concerns with the communist county, the survey reveals.
(Screenshot via Economic Policy Institute)
From 2001 to 2018, U.S. free trade with China has eliminated at least 3.7 million American jobs. In 1985, before China entered the WTO, the U.S. trade deficit with China totaled $6 billion. In 2019, the U.S. trade deficit with China totaled more than $345 billion.
American manufacturing is vital to the U.S. economy, as every one manufacturing job supports an additional 7.4 American jobs in other industries.

Bidenflation: Real Hourly Pay Suffers One of the Worst Collapses Ever Photo by SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images 2:02
It is getting harder and harder for American workers to make ends meet as rising inflation outpaces pay gans, pushing down inflation-adjusted compensation at a pace almost never seen before.
Adjusted for inflation, hourly compensation fell 2.7 percent in the second quarter, data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on the nonfarm business sector showed Tuesday.
Real compensation fell 2.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011. That decline came in part because unadjusted wage gains were very small, just 0.5 percent. The economy was just extremely sluggish, with a low level of demand for labor following the financial crisis and the collapse of the housing bubble. The consumer price index increased 3.3 percent in the quarter.
The only other comparable contraction was in the first quarter of 1974, when real compensation fell 2.1 percent. That was in an atmosphere that was also very different from today’s, with extremely high inflation meaning prices outpaced wage gains. Consumer prices jumped 9.1 percent and wages rose 7.6 percent.
In the most recent quarter, unadjusted hourly compensation rose 2.0 percent compared with the 2020’s April through June period. CPI, however, was up 4.8 percent.
The losses to inflation are getting worse. Compared with the first quarter, real hourly compensation in the nonfarm business sector fell 4.8 percent.
Manufacturing compensation fell 3.3 percent compared with the start of the year and four percent compared with a year ago. That is the worst collapse ever. Compensation in durable goods manufacturing fell 2.8 percent on a quarterly basis and 4.3 percent from a year ago. Nondurable goods compensation was down 3.4 percent on both an annual and a quarterly basis.

The summary of the proposed budget, which was overseen by Senate Budget Committee chairman Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), says the budget will provide "green cards to millions of immigrant workers and families."
While Americans remain mostly in opposition to amnesty for illegal aliens — the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows 52 percent of likely voters oppose amnesty — the plan is a fulfillment of longtime corporate interest and donor class goals to flood the United States labor market with millions of newly legalized foreign workers against whom working and middle class Americans would be forced to compete for jobs.
The amnesty has major backing from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us, former President George W. Bush, and the Koch brothers.
Likewise, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce most recently held a conference dedicated to promoting the amnesty plan, claiming that legalizing millions of foreign competitors against American workers is “vital” to the U.S. economic recovery following the Chinese coronavirus crisis.
Nationally, nearly 16 million Americans remain jobless, but all want full-time employment. Another 4.6 million Americans are underemployed but want a full-time job.
Dem Budget Includes Green Card Giveaway, Mass Amnesty Getty Images Joseph Simonson • August 9, 2021 3:55 pmThe new budget proposal from Senate Democrats will dramatically increase the number of available green cards and include amnesty for illegal immigrants, according to an official fact sheet on the $3.5 trillion budget circulated by leadership.
The summary of the proposed budget, which was overseen by Senate Budget Committee chairman Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), says the budget will provide "green cards to millions of immigrant workers and families." Current law caps the total number of green cards, known officially as permanent resident cards, at just under 1.1 million annually. The budget will additionally offer illegal immigrants in the United States a "pathway to citizenship," Sanders wrote on Monday morning. There are an estimated 10 to 12 million undocumented aliens in the country.
It is unclear how many green cards Democrats aim to make newly available through the legislation, which was released Monday morning. The immigration provisions in the Democratic budget appear to be inspired in part by Biden's campaign promise to make green cards available to family members of other green card recipients, regardless of annual caps. Biden's campaign website promised to "[support] legislation that treats the spouse and children of green card holders as the immediate relatives they are, exempting them from caps."
Democrats face bipartisan scrutiny over the border crisis, with the number of migrants attempting to enter the country through Mexico at a 21-year high. The $3.5 trillion budget has not yet earned support from moderate Democratic senators like Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.), although she has said she'll vote "yes" on procedural motions. Democratic leaders say they hope to pass the bill through budget reconciliation, which would allow them to avoid a filibuster from Republicans. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) referred to the budget as "reckless," and it is not expected to receive any Republican support.
Sanders said the budget proposal is "the most consequential piece of legislation for working people, the elderly, the children, the sick and the poor since FDR and the New Deal of the 1930s."
The Biden administration has repeatedly told migrants not to attempt to enter the country at this time, citing the pandemic and strained resources. Critics say Biden's decision to eliminate Trump-era policies like "Remain in Mexico" is in large part the source of the migration surge.
The budget also "funds smart technology for safe and efficient borders for trade, travel, and migration," although specifics have yet to be released. Various NGOs and consulting firms, such as Deloitte, have recommended "smart" refugee resettlement technology that includes using data analysis to quickly process and place asylum seekers in various U.S. cities.
Sanders tweeted Monday morning that his party's budget "will bring undocumented people out of the shadows and provide them with a pathway to citizenship, including those who courageously kept our economy running in the middle of the deadly pandemic," but offered no specifics.
The budget proposal will include many liberal policy proposals that were left out of the bipartisan infrastructure proposal, which is expected to pass through the Senate this week. Aside from dramatically expanding legal immigration, the budget includes a number of left-wing initiatives such as tuition-free community college, hiking the corporate and personal tax rate, and expanding ObamaCare.
19 Senate Republicans Made ‘History’ for Joe Biden by Passing Bipartisan So-Called Infrastructure Bill MANDEL NGAN/AFP via Getty Images 8:43
Senate Republicans granted President Joe Biden a significant victory on Tuesday in helping the bipartisan so-called infrastructure bill pass through the Senate.
The Senate passed H.R. 3684, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, 69-30, which featured overwhelming Democrat support and strong Republican support.
Nineteen Senate Republicans voted for the infrastructure bill. The Senate Republicans that voted with Democrats for the legislation reportedly include:
Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT) Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said on the Senate floor this bill, passed under Biden, is the first major infrastructure bill in over a decade.
Schumer said the bipartisan bill serves as the “first track” of the “two-track” strategy on infrastructure.
Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the Senate as the chamber passed the bill.
Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), who is retiring soon, said the Senate made history by passing the bill through the Senate:
Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) said before the vote that Republicans are “complicit” by supporting the bipartisan bill, as it would lead to the passage of the Democrats’ $3.5 trillion package.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), who voted against the bill, said, “I just voted NO on the first installment of Joe Biden’s massive left wing agenda – no to gender identity mandates, no to the Green New Deal, no to CRT “racial equity” mandates, no to decimating the energy sector – YES to America”:
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who voted against the bill, said in a statement after the vote:
The final legislation is loaded with giveaways to big cities and pet projects that have little to do with real infrastructure. Worse, we’re using fuzzy math and IOU’s to hide the real cost of this massive legislation. I can’t vote for a bill that fails to give Alabama a fair slice of the pie while also saddling Alabama taxpayers with even more debt.
The $1.2 trillion, 2,702-page bipartisan infrastructure bill serves as the first part of a two-part approach for the Biden administration. The Biden administration hopes the bill would help facilitate funding of physical infrastructure, while the Democrat $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill would fund social spending programs, which includes the expansion of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to address the “Medicaid gap,” amnesty for illegal aliens, and a civilian climate corps.
While Sens. Portman and Bill Cassidy (R-LA), two GOP lead negotiators of the bipartisan bill, have insisted there is no link between the two infrastructure bills, the passage of the bipartisan bill appears to put the reconciliation bill on a glide path towards passing through Congress.
The passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill also serves as a significant victory for the Senate Republicans that also voted to impeach former President Donald Trump this year. This includes Sens. Richard Burr (R-NC), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitt Romney (R-UT), and Susan Collins (R-ME).
The Senate budget resolution, which serves as the legislative vehicle for the $3.5 trillion reconciliation infrastructure bill, contains instructions for House Budget Committee’s John Yarmuth (D-KY) to make changes to the bipartisan bill as he sees fit, Breitbart News reported .
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that the bill would add $256 billion to the deficit, and the Penn-Wharton Budget Model said the bill would add no “significant” level of economic growth.
As Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Republicans appeared ready to rush the bill through the Senate to start the budget approval process and move onto their August recess, Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) stood against the Senate’s rushed process. Hagerty said the Senate should have time to consider the drastic implications of the several thousand-page bill and open the legislation up for amendments, as the bill was drafted in secret by the bipartisan group of lawmakers, and outside of the normal committee drafting process.
Hagerty refused to consent to the Senate’s advancement of the bill, explaining that the Senate should debate the bill as the “World’s Greatest Deliberative Body.” He said in a statement Monday night:
The American public deserves to have the Senate—the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body—actually deliberate. Because of my refusal to expedite passage of this bill, we did that and allowed taxpayers to see that this infrastructure package is the first step in the Democrats’ quadruple bank-shot attempt to usher in a radical vision for America, burdening our children and grandchildren with more debt and making American citizens dependent on the government for virtually everything. While I recognize that I delayed the August recess, the stakes are too high here, and we have successfully begun to expose the true and dangerous intentions of my Democrat colleagues.
Because of Hagerty’s efforts, the Senate had slowed down the bill’s passage by five days, giving Americans a greater understanding of the $1.2 trillion bill their lawmakers voted for.
The Senate fight over a $30 billion cryptocurrency regulation serves is emblematic of why Hagerty wanted to slow down Schumer and Senate Republicans’ rushing of the infrastructure bill.
Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and the Biden White House proposed the $30 billion cryptocurrency regulation as a “pay for” the mammoth legislation. The regulation would impose onerous IRS reporting requirements on the cryptocurrency, including many parts of the industry — such as node operators, validators, and software developers — that either should not or cannot comply with the regulation, lawmakers and industry officials say.
The uproar from the cryptocurrency industry and pro-crypto lawmakers led Sens. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) to propose an amendment that would address the concerns with Portman’s proposal. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) even proposed an amendment that would remove Portman’s regulation.
Lummis and Toomey struck a compromise with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Portman over the regulation; however, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL), who will retire next year, refused to allow the amendment to be considered unless they also allowed for increased defense spending in the bill. Shelby’s tactics shuttered the amendment and allowed the original, “disastrous” provision to remain in the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
Cruz, during the fight to allow the Lummis-Toomey amendment in the bill Monday, lambasted the Senate’s ignorance of cryptocurrencies and that the Senate did not go through the traditional legislative process to consider how the proposal could cripple the industry and send American jobs overseas:
Lummis, after Shelby blocked the inclusion of the cryptocurrency amendment, pledged to keep fighting to fix the language in the bill. She said, “We will continue to look for ways to fix the digital asset language in this bill. It might not be today, but we won’t give up.”
The House could still insert a Lummis-style amendment when the chamber considers the bill.
The so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill moves to the House, where Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has pledged to hold the consideration of that bill until the Senate also advances the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill. The Senate will move forward this week on the budget resolution and the multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure bill soon after.

WE COULD END THE INVASION WITH E-VERIFY AND BY PUTTING EMPLOYERS OF ILLEGALS IN PRISONS BUILT ALONG THE NARCOMEX BORDER!
On Monday, Senate Democrats unveiled their budget framework that includes spending $107 billion in American taxpayer money to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.
Washington, D.C. (August 9, 2021) – In an article by the Center for Immigration Studies, Andrew Arthur reports on an amendment to the infrastructure bill that would have guaranteed that the jobs from that bill would go to American workers. The amendment would have prohibited federal funding for any entity that failed to enroll in E-Verify, an internet database that allows employers to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. While 53 senators voted in favor of that amendment, it failed because 45 others (all Democrats) opposed it.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE GOP IS JUST AS KEEN TO FLOOD AMERICA WITH 'CHEAP' LABOR AS THE LA RAZA SUPREMACY DEMOCRAT PARTY WITH THEIR DREAMS OF 49 MORE MEXIFORNIAS.
Tom Cotton: Every Conservative Must Get Engaged to Stop Democrat Amnesty TOM WILLIAMS/POOL/AFP via Getty Images 3:50
Senate Republicans are sounding the alarm over an amnesty provision slipped into Senate Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget resolution framework that they are seeking to shove through Congress via the filibuster-proof reconciliation process.
On Monday, Senate Democrats unveiled their budget framework that includes spending $107 billion in American taxpayer money to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.
The language of the framework is vague, asking the Judiciary Committee members to give “lawful permanent status to qualified immigrants.” Those who would qualify remains unclear, though Democrats have said in the past they want upwards of eight to 10 million illegal aliens given amnesty.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) wrote in a statement that “every conservative needs to get engaged to stop” the Democrats’ amnesty plan via reconciliation.
“During a historic border crisis, Democrats are trying to ram through mass amnesty for illegal immigrants … call Congress and tell them no amnesty,” Cotton wrote.
Likewise, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) panned the amnesty as “the most left wing plan in American history” while Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) described it as “Bernie’s radial priorities” in reference to Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) said the amnesty needed to be stopped by first stopping a so-called bipartisan infrastructure plan that Senate Democrats are supporting and 18 Senate Republicans, thus far, have backed.
That plan, as Breitbart News reported , would use federal funds to reward blue states and counties for driving up overall immigration levels to the U.S.
Former Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), founder of the Senate Conservatives Fund, railed against the amnesty, writing that President Joe Biden and Senate Democrats have made “it official” in their efforts to “use reconciliation to ram through amnesty for millions of illegals.”
“We now have open borders with more than the population of most U.S. towns coming over [the] border illegally every day,” DeMint wrote. “This is madness.”
Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official Jon Feere said the amnesty “would cost Americans billions immediately,” adding that Democrats “have no interest in committee hearings to determine how many more billions it would cost in the first few years.”
While Americans remain mostly in opposition to amnesty for illegal aliens — the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows 52 percent of likely voters oppose amnesty — the plan is a fulfillment of longtime corporate interest and donor class goals to flood the United States labor market with millions of newly legalized foreign workers against whom working and middle class Americans would be forced to compete for jobs.
The amnesty has major backing from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us, former President George W. Bush, and the Koch brothers.
Likewise, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce most recently held a conference dedicated to promoting the amnesty plan, claiming that legalizing millions of foreign competitors against American workers is “vital” to the U.S. economic recovery following the Chinese coronavirus crisis.
Nationally, nearly 16 million Americans remain jobless, but all want full-time employment. Another 4.6 million Americans are underemployed but want a full-time job.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has repeatedly found that amnesty for illegal aliens would be a net fiscal drain for American taxpayers while driving down U.S. wages.

Senate Republicans Approve Racial Quotas, Migration Incentives for Broadband in Infrastructure Bill Ethan Miller/Getty Images 4:06
Nineteen Senate Republicans voted with Democrats to approve expanding broadband across the United States based on racial quotas and the migration levels of American communities as part of a so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill.
On Tuesday, in a 69-30 vote, 19 Senate Republicans joined Democrats to pass the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which includes expanding broadband based on racial quotas and rewards for blue states that drive up overall immigration to the U.S.
Those 19 Senate Republicans include:
Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT) The bill includes the Digital Equity Act that seeks to expand broadband to American communities that currently lack access to the Internet due to either poverty, dilapidated infrastructure, or their geographical location such as rural communities.
As part of the plan, the Department of Commerce would set up a grant program to states to fund broadband expansion. The grants would be divided up using this formula:
50 percent of the total grant amount shall be based on the population of the eligible State in proportion to the total population of all eligible States.
25 percent of the total grant amount shall be based on the number of individuals in the eligible State who are members of covered populations in proportion to the total number of individuals in all eligible States who are members of covered populations.
25 percent of the total grant amount shall be based on the comparative lack of availability and adoption of broadband in the eligible State in proportion to the lack of availability and adoption of broadband of all eligible States…
In the terms section of the bill, a “covered population” means anyone who is considered an “aging individual, a prison inmate excluding those in federal prison, a veteran, an individual with disabilities, an individual with a language barrier, and anyone who is a member of a racial or ethnic minority.”
Therefore, 25 percent of the total grant money in the program to help a state expand broadband access will be partially based on how many non-white residents and newly arrived immigrants who struggle speaking English a particular community has.
Blue states and counties, those with already high concentrations of wealth, are set to benefit the most from such standards on broadband expansion — primarily from the requirement that federal funds be rewarded to migration-heavy areas.
For instance, the nation’s top ten counties with the highest foreign-born populations are primarily deep blue areas controlled by Democrats including Los Angeles County, California; Miami-Dade County, Florida; Harris County, Texas; Cook County, Illinois; Queens County, New York; San Diego County, California; and Santa Clara County, California, among others.
Meanwhile, red states and counties such as North Dakota, Idaho, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Arkansas, Missouri, South Carolina, Nebraska, Kansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, West Virginia, and Kentucky are set to lose out on such funds to expand broadband potentially because none have significant foreign-born populations.
