America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections

PHONY SOCICALIST FOR WALL STREET BERNIE SANDERS - THE BEST WAY TO HELP THE AMERICAN WORKER IS TO GIVE THEIR JOBS TO DEM VOTING ILLEGALS WHO WORK CHEAP
SANDERS, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE. 'CHEAP' MEXICAN LABOR DID NOT BUILD THIS NATION. IT HAS ONLY BUILT THE GLOBALIST DEMOCRAT PARTY. LOOK WHAT IT DID FOR NARCOMEX!
The White House’s economic advisors tried Friday to hide their admission that migration and amnesty suppress the wages that Americans can earn.
SANDERS: I hope it will in the sense that right now we have many, many millions of undocumented people in this country, people who are working hard. In fact, people who have maintained this economy, people doing the essential work, something like 11 million people. And I would hope very much, and I think the American people agree, that now is the time. And if we can do it through reconciliation, I’m there. I want to do it to move toward a path towards citizenship and comprehensive immigration reform through the reconciliation bill. That’s my hope.
Sanders: I Hope ‘Path Towards Citizenship’ Will Be ‘Tucked’ into $3.5 Trillion Spending Bill
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that he hoped a path to citizenship would be included in the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill.
Partial transcript as follows:
MARGARET BRENNAN: On immigration, I also want to get your reaction to what the Biden administration just said they’re doing this weekend, which is to step up deportations, particularly of some of these Haitian migrants who have gathered in southern Texas, thousands of them. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has called it inhumane. Do you agree with her and looking at what you’re working on right now on Capitol Hill, do you expect immigration will be tucked into this $3.5 trillion spending plan?
SANDERS: I hope it will in the sense that right now we have many, many millions of undocumented people in this country, people who are working hard. In fact, people who have maintained this economy, people doing the essential work, something like 11 million people. And I would hope very much, and I think the American people agree, that now is the time. And if we can do it through reconciliation, I’m there. I want to do it to move toward a path towards citizenship and comprehensive immigration reform through the reconciliation bill. That’s my hope.
BRENNAN: Whether or not that can be done is still going to be decided. I know you say you want it done. But isn’t this exactly the same kind of social policy that moderates are bulking- balking at here because you’re–
SANDERS: Well actually.
BRENNAN: –tucking it into a mechanism that even you have said in the past to just be used for budget and spending?
SANDERS: Well, the truth is that when you because we have no Republican support in trying to pass a significant piece of legislation representing working families, we have to do it through the so-called reconciliation process, which means that you have to obey the Byrd rules. I won’t go into- bore you with all the details. So, it’s something that we are arguing right now. But I do hope as we move toward what I believe is the most consequential piece of legislation for the working class of this country, as we demand that the wealthiest people and large corporations start paying their fair share of taxes as we lower the cost of prescription drugs as we expand Medicare to include dental care for seniors and hearing aids and eyeglasses as we lower the childhood poverty as we have already done, maintain that by 50% as a result of the American Rescue Plan. I hope that immigration reform is part of that general package.
White House: OK, Amnesty Cuts Wages, But Not for the ‘Longer Run’
The White House’s economic advisors tried Friday to hide their admission that migration and amnesty suppress the wages that Americans can earn.
The effort to hide the 600lb gorilla of migration economics is found halfway through a 2,200-word post that argues that the Democrats’ draft amnesty for roughly 8 million migrants would boost productivity, national wealth, and tax receipts.
The four authors said that the amnesty would “increase the [migrants’] effective labor supply, [although] critics of legalization argue there could be adverse labor market consequences for native and other immigrant workers.”
But “a distinguished group of experts concludes that in the longer run, the effect of immigration on wages overall is very small,” they argued, before changing the topic to the extra tax revenues they hope to win from the amnesty.
The “longer run” excuse is cold comfort, countered Steve Camarota, the research director a the Center for Immigration Studies:
Even if correct, it still means that lots of Americans will be poor or poorer for perhaps decades … And that long run may never even arrive if you keep bringing in more foreign workers, which [the pending] amnesty is certainly going to encourage.
The short-run wage cuts are clear, Camarato told Breitbart News: “If you increase the supply of anything, whether it’s wheat or ingots of steel for workers, you lower its price … Inflating the labor supply can be good for employers, but it’s often very bad for workers.”
The White House post was attributed to Cecilia Rouse, the chair of President Joe Biden’s Council of Economic Advisers, and three economic advisors, Lisa Barrow, Kevin Rinz, and Evan Soltas. Axios got an early look and said the document was drafted to help persuade the Senate’s debate referee to approve the inclusion of the huge amnesties in the “reconciliation” budget bill.
The White House economists also distorted the National Academies’ report on migration economics, Camarota noted. For example, the report noted that Americans pay a 5.4 percent economic penalty, and it included a chart showing many studies that reveal large wage drops for every additional percent of labor added by migrant workers:
Chart 1. (National Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine, The Economic and Fiscall Consequences of Immigration).
For example, in its September 2016 report, the National Academies’ report acknowledged that “Immigrant labor accounts for 16.5 percent of the total number of hours worked in the United States, which … implies that the current stock of immigrants lowered [Americans’ average] wages by 5.2 percent.”
Pro-migration advocates recognize the migration and wages issue is a problem for their side.
For example, Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us advocacy group pro-Democratic politicians to avoid any mention of jobs, wages, and migration. And when pushing the for the amnesties, they cite a friendly study that showed an extremely wage increase for Americans of just $600 — in ten years, and not counting the housing spike caused by the amnesty’s delivery of additional migration.
On Friday, the group quickly touted the White House memo, saying:
We wanted to make sure you’re aware of this critical new memo from the White House Council of Economic Advisors entitled “The Economic Benefits of Extending Permanent Legal Status to Unauthorized Immigrants,” in which the White [House] makes clear not only do they want a pathway to citizenship included in the reconciliation package, but they clearly show why it has direct budgetary impact and can and must be included in this package. You can read more in Axios.
But many polls show that labor migration is deeply unpopular because it damages ordinary Americans’ career opportunities, cuts their wages, and raises their rents. Migration also curbs their productivity, shrinks their political clout, widens regional wealth gaps, and wrecks their democratic, compromise-promoting civic culture.
DEL RIO, Texas — The crisis unfolding at a makeshift camp of nearly 15,000 mostly Haitian migrants under the Del Rio International Bridge has a devastating impact on the local community of Del Rio, Texas. Although mostly out of the public eye due to the remote location of the camp, residents are feeling the impact in the small Texas town. The closure of ports of entry leading to Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico, forced many local businesses in Del Rio to operate with fewer employees.
As in other cities along the border, Del Rio and Acuna have a symbiotic relationship based on legitimate cross-border trade and travel. The back-and-forth daily crossings between the border cities keep both economies working in harmony. Hundreds of United States citizens and legal permanent residents live in Mexico and commute daily to work and shop in Del Rio. Many Del Rio residents cross into their sister city in Mexico for doctor visits or to shop and dine.

Breitbart Texas spoke to a restaurant manager in Del Rio on Saturday who explained he lost half of his staff due to the closure of Del Rio’s ports of entry.
“My workers are not going to drive to Piedras Negras, nearly 60 miles away, to cross the border and drive an additional hour just to come to work. The money for gas and the time spent in line at a bridge there doesn’t work for them,” the restauranteur explained.
Within hours of our conversation, the restaurant closed to the public as did several others in Del Rio. The restaurants closed to prepare meals for the nearly 15,000 migrants held in the camp along the banks of the Rio Grande.
Breitbart Texas spoke to residents that live along the banks of the Rio Grande near the camp who say they are on their own when it comes to security. The Border Patrol and many state and local law enforcement authorities have dedicated most of their resources to providing security and humanitarian aid to the camp’s population of migrants.
This leaves more than 200 miles of border completely open and unguarded by the Border Patrol. Breitbart Texas witnessed multiple illegal border crossings on Saturday that met no resistance from authorities. The residents in the Vega Verde neighborhood of Del Rio say the Border Patrol is no longer patrolling the area and cannot respond to the illegal entries in their community due to the crisis unfolding at the camp.
Residents in the area also rely on Texas Highway Patrol troopers and the Texas National Guard to help when they can. That help is now gone having been redirected to the camp to augment the Border Patrol.
On Saturday, dozens of residents rallied near the shuttered Del Rio International Bridge holding signs critical of the Biden administration’s handling of the humanitarian crisis. Other signs held by the demonstrators expressed support for the Border Patrol and local law enforcement officers dealing with the crisis unfolding at the camp. For several hours the protesters waved flags as passers-by honked car horns in support of the messaging.

Joe Biden's Betrayal of American Values Must be Our Call to Action
John Stossel
Corporate Welfare
President Reagan once said that “The world must see an America that is morally strong with a creed and a vision. This is what has led us to dare and achieve. For us, values count.”
If America’s exceptionalism under President Biden is measured by this standard, Joe Biden is failing our country. Biden promised that America would “build back better,” but his disastrous foreign policy, out-of-control spending, and unconstitutional government overreach point to decline.
With his haphazard exit from Afghanistan, Joe Biden stranded American citizens and Afghan allies and has made the Taliban the world’s largest weapons dealer. Now, Biden entrusts the protection of these innocent lives to the same Taliban terrorists who harbored Al-Qaeda, reducing two decades of American sacrifice to an epic disaster that demands investigation and accountability.
At home, Biden promised unity and a competence that experience is meant to bring, but he divides our country and grossly mishandles his duties – while shamelessly blaming anyone but himself. Imagine being the President of the United States and acting powerless and beholden – but now we don’t have to imagine it. Yet, with control of the House and Senate, Biden and the Democrats have no one to blame but themselves.
Open-borders Biden has allowed thousands of COVID-positive illegal immigrants, many victims of trafficking, to flood our frontier while placing exclusive blame on conservatives for the recent coronavirus surge. He’s managed to politicize our health response to the pandemic in a way only previously imagined in novels.
Biden has blamed congressional Republicans for failing to support his socialist government takeover of the economy, which forces trillions of dollars in wasteful spending for “infrastructure” down the throats of working-class Americans, saddling generations with debt and lost opportunity.
He even blamed his failure to advance the federal takeover of elections on Republicans fighting to restore faith in elections, launching a failed misinformation campaign with Stacey Abrams that cost Georgians a $100-million opportunity.
While Biden promised unity, we now live in the most divisive political environments in our lifetime. Thanks to his relentless pursuit to placate the woke mob and keep up with the latest demands of a far-left that despises America. Biden said he would be the most progressive president in American history – likely a true statement, but to what end? His extreme agenda has little to do with the country that he swore to serve and protect and everything to do with politics and retribution.
Accountability, honesty and integrity are foreign phrases for Biden. This behavior comes as no surprise from a career politician who has spent five decades in Washington, using his power and influence to enrich himself and his family from his comfortable perch. As president, Biden dismisses serious inquiries into his policies – turns his back, walks away, and ignores them altogether. Meanwhile, the media runs interference for Biden and labels serious questions about the president’s fitness to serve as “conspiracies."
Biden’s actions have proven that he is more beholden to special interests, blue-state billionaires, and coastal elites rather than hard working Americans in need. Instead of providing access and opportunity to success for all, Biden shamelessly promotes cradle-to-grave government dependency and villainizes those who work hard and make an honest living.
We cannot stand by as Joe Biden and Washington radicals dismantle the American Dream. Now is the time to get vocal, get active, and get involved – which is exactly what we are doing at Greater Georgia, a conservative voter registration and mobilization organization in the biggest battleground state in the country. We are pushing back on the liberals’ far-left agenda and advocating for the pro-freedom, pro-America values that uplift all communities. These are the values that unite our country and make us strong, and these are the values we must always fight to defend because, as President Reagan said, “values count.”
