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

BIDEN PROMISES A MILLION DOLLARS TO HIS INVADING ILLEGALS - BUT THAT IS ONLY ONE OF HIS LIES FOR TODAY
"The Wealth-X report shows that the world’s billionaire population has grown by 15 percent, to 2,754 people, since 2016, and that the wealth of these billionaires “surged by 24 percent to a record level of $9.2 trillion,” equivalent to 12 percent of the gross domestic product of the entire planet."
The legislation has been shaped entirely by the class interests of the capitalist ruling elite, which demands both a continued supply of cash from the Treasury and a stepped-up supply of low-wage labor in the midst of the pandemic. In the course of these “negotiations,” measures that provide subsidies to businesses or promote the entry of more workers into the labor force have advanced, while measures that cost business money, sustain working people while they are not actively employed, or simply improve their lives, have been killed.
Biden opened the border, flooding our nation with millions of unemployed, unvetted, often terribly sick people who have no knowledge of or respect for our institutions. Most plan to get the welfare and health care Biden promised. Nothing stops terrorists and serious criminals, including killers; rapists; pedophiles; and traffickers of women, children, and drugs. America receives no benefit from opening our border to impoverished, illiterate people from over 120 countries. To add insult to injury, while Americans are being destroyed over the vaccine mandate, illegal aliens need not be vaccinated.
'The Five' blasts Biden's plan to pay migrants who crossed border illegally
Washington, D.C. (October 28, 2021) – The Center for Immigration Studies provides background and analysis to the report by the Wall Street Journal that the Biden administration is seriously considering paying $450,000 per illegal alien who was part of a “separated” family unit (FMU) during President Trump’s short-lived 2018 "Zero Tolerance" policy. Government sources told the paper that most eligible FMUs consist of an adult and a child, which would make those payouts just under $1 million, while larger FMUs would get nearly $1.5 million or more. The sources say that the total bill for U.S. taxpayers is expected to exceed $1 billion.
Robert Law, the Center’s director of regulatory affairs and policy, said, “In nine months, the Biden administration has essentially opened the southern border to a record level of illegal immigration, refused to enforce immigration law in the interior, and now is reportedly on the verge of making some illegal aliens wealthy at taxpayer expense. Is there any doubt this will motivate more foreign nationals from around the world to make the dangerous journey to the U.S. border?”
Critics of the Biden administration’s proposed financial payout, including career government attorneys, have noted that these illegal aliens would receive more money than the families of some 9/11 victims and the families of our fallen troops.
By way of background, illegal entry is both a civil offense under section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and a criminal offense under section 275(a) of the INA. An alien’s first illegal entry offense is a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine and up to six months’ imprisonment, or both. Repeat illegal reentry is a felony, punishable by a fine and up to two years in prison, or both.
As Andrew Arthur explains in a May 6 post, “family separation” is a novel concept because, before 2011, more than 90 percent of illegal entrants were single adult males. The surge of FMUs began showing up at the southern border shortly after U.S. District Court Judge Dolly Gee ruled in August 2015 that the Flores settlement agreement, which required the government to release unaccompanied alien minors from DHS custody within 20 days, also applies to accompanied alien minors. In response, the Obama administration decided to avoid “family separation” by ignoring the mandatory detention requirement for the adults under section 235(b) of the INA and also releasing the adult parent or guardian who unlawfully brought the alien child to the border.
In an effort to stop the nearly 700 percent increase in FMUs from March 2017 (1,126) to March 2018 (8,875), then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued his April 6, 2018, memorandum entitled, “Zero-Tolerance for Offenses Under 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a)” that directed federal prosecutors along the southern border to prosecute all aliens who entered illegally under section 275(a) of the INA. As Andrew Arthur explained in his post, the alien adults were transferred from DHS to U.S. Marshals Service custody for prosecution, while the alien children (not subject to prosecution for illegal entry) were transferred from DHS custody to shelters run by the Department of Health and Human Services.
On May 3, 2021, CBS News reported that the Biden administration had begun bringing back to the United States the previously deported parents and legal guardians who chose to leave behind the alien minors. That remarkable step was only the beginning; Andrew Arthur explained in a post last month that Biden’s government funding bill takes money away from CBP and ICE agents in order to provide “shelter, temporary housing, subsistence expenses, transportation, medical care, access to legal services, and such other assistance or relief for separated families that the Secretary of Homeland Security determines necessary to accomplish reunification.”
How Corporations (AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY) Crush the Working Class | Robert Reich
The cost of employing the average U.S. worker increased at the fastest pace on record in the third quarter, data from the Labor Department showed Friday.
But workers are still losing out to inflation on an annual basis.
The employment cost index jumped 1.3 percent from the prior quarter, according to Labor Department data released Friday. The gauge increased 3.7 percent from a year earlier.
Wages and salaries, which make up 70 percent of overall compensation, increased 4.2 percent for the 12-month period ending in September 2021, a big acceleration from the 12-month period ending a year ago. Compared with the second quarter, wages were up 1.3 percent. The cost of benefits rose 2.5 percent compared with 12 months ago, and 0.9 percent compared with the second quarter.
The Consumer Price Index, the Labor Department’s inflation metric, rose up 5.4 percent over the 12 months ending in September. Another measure of inflation, which gauges the changes in prices paid by wage earners and clerical workers, was up 5.9 percent.
The Department of Labor said wages and salaries fell 1.1 percent compared with a year ago after adjusting for inflation, which it does by comparing non-seasonally adjusted CPI for all urban consumers with unadjusted ECI.
A silver lining: inflation-adjusted wage costs rose six-tenths of a percentage point compared with the prior quarter, according to the Department of Labor. Overall compensation was up four-tenths of a percentage point. So even though workers are still behind on an annual basis, they regained some ground in the July through September period.
Economists had forecast a smaller rise in compensation costs of 0.9 percent for the quarter and 3.7 percent annually.
Compensation costs for workers in the private sector increased 4.1 percent over the year. Wages were up 4.6 percent and benefit costs up 2.6 percent.
Annual compensation cost increases ranged from 3.2 percent for management, professional, and related occupations to 6.1 percent for service occupations. Construction worker compensation rose three percent compared with a year ago. Leisure and hospitality compensation costs jumped 6.9 percent. Transportation and materials shipping workers were paid 5.7 percent more. The cost of employing workers in manufacturing rose 4.5 percent.
