RENTS SOAR UNDER BIDENOMICS - MILLIONS WILL BE HOMELESS

BIDENOMICS   -  TRICKLE UP ECONOMICS

An economy built on extraction migration also radicalizes Americans’ democratic, compromise-promoting civic culture and allows wealthy elites to ignore despairing Americans at the bottom of society.

The wealth-shifting extraction migration policy is very unpopular, according to a wide variety of polls. The polls show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.

 San Francisco is situated at the heart of America’s tech boom. Yet according to this week’s guest, much of the city looks like a slum. Homelessness is rampant. Drug use is soaring and violent crime continues to rise. To find out what is happening to America’s most progressive cities Steven Edgintin is joined by the environmentalist and best-selling author Michael Shellenberger.

These 7 CITIES have the WORST INCOME INEQUALITY (San Francisco is NOT #1)




Report: 1-Bedroom Average Rent Rose 12.3 Percent Nationally in One Year

The national median prices for one-bedroom and two-bedroom rental units have skyrocketed as rent climbs sharply in cities across the country amid inflation, according to a report.

Rental platform Zumper has released its February National Rent Index report, which found the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the United States is $1,393, while the median two-bedroom rental goes for $1,708 — both all-time highs. In nine of the past ten months, the median one-bedroom price has reached new all-time peaks, while the median two-bedroom price has shattered records for 13 consecutive months, the report finds.

Moreover, the national median rent for a one-bedroom unit has increased 12.3 percent from February of 2021 to February of 2022 and is 1.4 percent higher than the previous month. “That one month of growth is more than twice the amount experienced in all of 2020 (0.6 percent), and more than four times experienced in 2019 (0.3 percent). In short, rent is continuing to rise at breakneck speeds,” the report states. The national median for two-bedroom units has jumped over 13 percent year-over-year.

According to Zumper, the ten cities with the highest one-bedroom rent prices include:

  1. New York City, New York
    • 1-Bedroom Median: $3,100;  Year over Year Increase: 26 Percent
    • 2-Bedroom Median: $3,300; Year over Year Increase: 29.4 Percent
  2. San Francisco, California
    • 1-Bedroom Median: $2,930; Year over Year Increase: 10.6 Percent
    • 2-Bedroom Median: $3,970 Year over Year Increase: 13.4 Percent
  3. Boston, Massachusetts
    • 1-Bedroom Median: $2,700; Year over Year Increase: 31.7 Percent
    • 2-Bedroom Median: $3,090; Year over Year Increase:  23.6 Percent
  4. San Jose, California
    • 1-Bedroom Median: $2,470; Year over Year Increase: 13.3 Percent
    • 2-Bedroom Median: $2,930; Year over Year Increase: 9.3 Percent
  5. Miami, Florida
    • 1-Bedroom Median: $2,420; Year over Year Increase: 34.4 Percent
    • 2-Bedroom Median: $3,220; Year over Year Increase: 34.2 Percent
  6. Washington, DC
    • 1-Bedroom Median: $2,220; Year over Year Increase: 13.3 Percent
    • 2-Bedroom Median: $2,950; Year over Year Increase: 10.9 Percent
  7. Los Angeles, California
    • 1-Bedroom Median: $2,190; Year over Year Increase: 15.3 Percent
    • 2-Bedroom Median: $3000; Year over Year Increase: 12.8 Percent
  8. San Diego, California
    • 1-Bedroom Median: $2,170; Year over Year Increase: 19.2 Percent
    • 2-Bedroom Median: $2,760; Year over Year Increase: 15.0 Percent
  9. Oakland, California
    • 1-Bedroom Median: $2,100; Year over Year Increase: 5.0 Percent
    • 2-Bedroom Median: $2,700; Year over Year Increase: 8.0 Percent
  10. Scottsdale, Arizona
    • 1-Bedroom Median: $1,950; Year over Year Increase: 28.3 Percent
    • 2-Bedroom Median: $2,530; Year over Year Increase: 22.2 Percent

Brett Allen, a residential agent in New York City, told the New York Post that the rent increases in the city “should be illegal.” 

“It’s horrible. I’m seeing a lot of people being turned out of their homes, people who paid rent on time with perfect credit scores,” he added. 

One of Allen’s clients, Anne Kennedy, 26, was planning to renew her lease on her studio apartment in the West Village when she says she received a notice about 90 days before her lease was up stating rent would increase from $2,696 to $3,950 – a whopping 46.5 percent jump, the Post reports.

A 2019 New York City law required the landlord to notify Kennedy of the price hike at least ninety days before the lease renewal, according to the Post

“It’s actually comical,” Kennedy said. “It’s definitely heartbreaking because I won’t be able to live with one of my best friends in the building anymore.”

“It couldn’t happen to a better person who would’ve negotiated in good faith and moved forward in a reasonable way,” Allen told the Post. “This is akin to an eviction notice. No person can afford an increase like that.”

Biden Resettles Over 146,000 Border Crossers Across U.S. in First Year

In his first year in office, President Joe Biden resettled more than 146,000 young border crossers across the United States — a foreign population more than twice the size of Portland, Maine and larger than Charleston, South Carolina.

The data comes from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) after Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) inquired about the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) program where thousands of young border crossers arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border and are subsequently resettled in American communities with American taxpayer money.

From January 20, 2021, to February 7, 2022, the Biden administration has resettled 146,248 young border crossers with sponsors — nearly 20,000 of which HHS has lost track of.

While about 128,000 of those young border crossers have been resettled with either parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, or uncles, HHS officials said nearly 18,000 have been placed with sponsors that are unrelated to them or are distant relatives.

Stephen Miller, head of America First Legal and a senior advisor to former President Trump, said a number of the “major takeaways” from the HHS data include the agency’s state goal of permanently resettling young border crossers in American communities and the failure to verify whether sponsors are illegal aliens, themselves.

As Breitbart News’s Neil Munro reports, the young border crossers are typically smuggled across the southern border while coyotes are paid by relatives living in the U.S. In New York City, New York, the smuggling operation has flooded the U.S. labor market with so many foreign workers, often illegal aliens, that many are struggling to find jobs to pay off the debts.

The UAC pipeline is only one component of illegal immigration to the U.S.

Within only a few months of 2021, the Biden administration had released more than 530,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior. Many will be aided by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that will provide them with legal services to fight their deportations.

In January alone, Biden released into the U.S. interior more than 62,500 border crossers and illegal aliens — a foreign population more than twice the size of Princeton, New Jersey; nearly twice the size of Lexington, Massachusetts; and more than six times the size of Jackson, Wyoming.

Sanctuary State Oregon to Spend $15M in Taxpayer Dollars Helping Illegal Aliens Avoid Deportation

The sanctuary state of Oregon is set to spend $15 million in state taxpayer money helping illegal aliens stay in the United States by evading deportation.

This week, the Oregon state legislature advanced a plan that will use taxpayer money to fund free legal representation for illegal aliens fighting their deportations from the U.S.

Republicans in the legislature tried to stop the plan but Democrats have control of both chambers, as well as the governorship, where Gov. Kate Brown (D) is expected to approve.

“There are certain people that I’m not interested in spending taxpayer funds on trying to keep them in the country,” State Sen. Tim Knopp (R) told Oregon Capital Chronicle. “I don’t know why we’d want to keep someone who has a felony record of murder, rape, kidnapping in the country.”

Specifically, the plan will throw $15 million in taxpayer money to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who then will deploy free lawyers to represent illegal aliens in immigration cases.

Oregon is not the only state or locality to fund illegal immigration. The Madison City Council in Wisconsin this week approved $700,000 in taxpayer money to provide illegal aliens with rent, food costs, transportation, and attorney fees.

Joe Biden Delivers Flood of Cheap Migrant Labor to New York

President Joe Biden’s deputies have delivered so many illegal migrants into New York that some of the female migrants cannot find work to pay their smuggling debts, according to claims by advocates for migrants.

“This intersection in Williamsburg, New York City, known as LaParada, or the stop, is a place where [illegal migrant Ecuadorian] women find a job for the day, primarily doing domestic work,” NBCNews.com reported on February 28. The report continues:

Every day up to 150 [illegal migrant] women wait here, bargaining for hourly pay that is often below minimum wage, according to data collected from the Workers Justice Project last year. Often these day laborers are undocumented [illegals] and in recent months, many come from Ecuador. Rosa migrated from Ecuador and eventually settled in New York city nine years ago. She still comes to La Parada at least five days a week to look for work:  [She said] “Now it is very, very difficult because there are a lot of people”

With more women, looking for work there’s more competition. Desperate to find a job and with little to no English, many new arrivals don’t negotiate their rate … [NBC asked] So you were here for a month before you could get a first job? [A migrant answered] Yes, one month.

The inflow is illegal because long-standing laws passed by Congress generally bar the admission of foreign workers into Americans’ labor market.

But Biden’s deputies — chiefly, the pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas — helps tens of thousands of migrants from the country of Ecuador in South America walk through the U.S. border. Roughly 500,000 Ecuadorians walked through the southern border between 2000 and 2017, and another 97,000 Ecuadorians were recorded in 2021 while trying to cross the border.

“I left my country because of the economic situation that all of us Ecuadorians are living,” a recently released migrant told NBC.

“I’ve been here almost 34 years and I’ve never seen the wave of Ecuadorians coming in the short time,” said Walter Sinche, the executive director of the Alianza Ecuatoriana Internacional, or the Ecuadorian International Alliance. “I knew a family, for example, they came with five kids. Not only undocumented but also people that come with visa, they overstay, so that’s also a large number,” he told Breitbart News on March 2.

“Most of the ‘[female migrants arrive] with some kind of relatives, some on their own with no relatives,” said Sinche.

The female migrants are being exploited because employers pay them less than the minimum wage of $15 per hour, Sinche said  “It’s a new wave of new migrants coming to the U.S. and that’s why they [employers] take advantage,” he told Breitbart News. He continued:

The minimum wage in New York, it’s $15 an hour. But since they are new in the country, the people sometimes get paid that amount and sometimes they pay them less. I know people, they get paid like $7, $8 an hour … Like I said, a new generation.

“I earned very little and it was not enough,” one of the migrant women told NBC.

State governments and federal agencies do little about wage theft against illegal migrants. The lax enforcement of labor law hels to push down wage levels for Americans. For example, NYSFocus.com reported in June 2021:

“Employers were using the pandemic as an excuse to not pay workers,” said Glendy Tsitouras, an organizer with the Workers Justice Project, a Brooklyn-based worker center that serves day laborers and domestic workers. “They would tell workers that something happened and that they will pay next week—but that never happened.”
In April of 2020 alone, Tsitouras said, her organization was flooded with between 30 and 35 cases. Pre-pandemic, they typically received around 15 cases a month.

The workplace migrant abuse tends to come from Asian and Middle Eastern immigrants, Sinche said. There are “not many” complaints about Americans  “like, for example, [Americans] from Ireland, Italians, Germans,” he said, adding:

Because they’re more conscious about their past, their history and they know also their grandma, their grandparents, came to the U.S. almost the same situation and [so] they are less abusive with new migrants on a high percentage. I’m talking about new communities, the Asians, they came a little later, and they start purchasing homes, for example, in the Corona area …  They [are] not bueno, can be really bad … mainly Chinese … I’m just talking about the facts of what people have been telling me … They take advantage of new migrants and also basically if you’re trying to claim [legal protections] they say they will call immigration.

New York City’s government encourages and funds illegal migration into the city, despite the damage to Americans’ wages and housing costs. In September 2021, for example, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) declared:

The last year and a half … have shown how vital our [illegal] immigrants have been to keeping our economy going during the time of crisis … We’re short of workers from one end of America to the other — one of the reasons? The Trump administration dramatically cut back on immigrants in this country. We need them. We need them in our labor force. We need them to continue American vitality. We need them because they’re part of the American dream.

“The main driver of both new business formation and population growth in New York has historically been international immigration,” says a September 2020 Axios.com article. If international “immigration remains suppressed, New York will suffer,” says the article, which was titled “The math of New York City’s recovery.”

Migrants in New York need jobs to live in the expensive city, but they also need money to pay off their debts of about $15,000 to $20,000 per person.

They also need cash to re-hire the coyotes so they illegally deliver the migrants’ children to them via the federal government’s Unaccompanied Alien Children child-delivery program.

If the migrants cannot get jobs, they cannot pay their smuggling debts, Sinche said.  “All over, coyotes are lending money [to migrants] but they have to sign a document saying ‘If you’re not paying [the debt], I’ll take your land or house or any other property,'” he said. When the debt is not paid, “most of the time, they ended up taking the properties … That’s a corrupt system that’s happening in Ecuador.”

If the women cannot get jobs, they also cannot save enough money to pay coyotes to bring their children to U.S. border officials, Sinche said.

The rise in Ecuadorian migration during 2021 is partly caused by migrants hiring coyotes to deliver their children to the border, William Murrillo told BorderReport.com in August 2021. “It’s parents who haven’t seen their children in many years and send for them,” said Murillo, a former government official in Ecuador who now runs a binational legal firm for Ecuadorians.

Murillo’s “personal experience as an undocumented migrant marked his life and he decided to serve our community of Ecuadorians in the world,” according to the firm’s website.

The migrants try to save wages for debt payments by crowding into apartments, Sinche said. “They have to struggle — they cannot afford to spend too much money … because they want to save,” he said.

“For example, a two-bedroom apartment, it’s supposed to be for a family, maybe two [people per bedroom. But now] sometimes, it is five to six or seven in a two-bedroom apartment,” he said. Rents are “way too crazy, especially here in the area of Queens Corona. A single studio will go for $1,500 to $1,600, and a two-bedroom, sometimes it goes to 2000 to $2,400,” which is up about $150 since rents declined during the coronavirus crash, he said.

City officials do not stop landlords from subdividing apartments to extract more rent, he said. In an August rainstorm, 11 migrants drowned in their basement apartments.

Migrant men are in a better position because they can take construction jobs, Sinche added. “They do pretty good,” said Sinche, who offers government-designed safety training to the illegal migrants.

Without domestic work, some women are trying to get construction jobs, he said.

What I find out was that women are taking the men’s positions, even construction. I just got a conversation yesterday with a couple of women that they do concrete work, they do carpentry works. I know one woman is doing electrical work. So since I’m an electrician for many years, I never seen so many Hispanics on the electrical trade, for example. I mean it’s good for them, but they do because there’s no other options to pick up my new skills.

The migrants’ money generates profits for many businesses in New York, according to Sinche: “They also pay for taxes, regardless of immigration status … they make money circulate in society … They have to eat, they have to wear clothes, they have to take transportation, [when] they get sick, they take medication.”

“They make money circulate in society,” he said.

But the huge inflow of migrants cuts Americans’ wages and raises their housing costs. A 2021 report by New York City’s government says a couple with two children would need to earn at least $154,000 to count as middle-income in the city.

Since at least 1990, the D.C. establishment has used a wide variety of excuses and explanations to justify its policy of extracting tens of millions of immigrants and visa workers from poor countries to serve as workers, consumers, and renters in the U.S. economy.

The economic strategy of extraction migration has no stopping point, and it is harmful to ordinary Americans because it cuts their career opportunities and their wages while also raising their housing costs.

Extraction migration also curbs Americans’ productivity, shrinks their political clout, and widens the regional wealth gaps between the Democrats’ coastal states and the Republicans’ heartland states. The economic strategy also kills many migrantsseparates families, and damages the economies of the home countries.

An economy built on extraction migration also radicalizes Americans’ democratic, compromise-promoting civic culture and allows wealthy elites to ignore despairing Americans at the bottom of society.

The wealth-shifting extraction migration policy is very unpopular, according to a wide variety of polls. The polls show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.

The opposition is growinganti-establishmentmultiracialcross-sexnon-racistclass-basedbipartisanrationalpersistent, and recognizes the solidarity that Americans owe to one another.
