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

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY DESTROYS AMERICA AND ITS BORDERS - FOR BIGGER GLOBALIST PROFITS FOR WALL STREET - NEED MILLIONS OF UNSKILLED 'CHEAP' LABOR ILLEGALS TO VOTE DEM FOR MORE!
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS NOT BEEN FOR THE WORKING MAN SINCE GAMER LAWYRS BILLARY CLINTON AND 'CREDIT CARD' JOE BIDEN PERPETRATED OPEN BORDERS NAFTA.
NOW DEMS ARE THE PARTY OF LA RAZA SUPREMACY AND THE MASSIVE MEX WELFARE STATE MEXICO HAS BUILT ON OUR BACKS!
"This is how they will destroy America from within. The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never be exposed to the cost of the invasion of millions of migrants. They have nothing but contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities being intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human traffickers. These people have no intention of becoming Americans; like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us." PATRICIA McCARTHY
Joe Biden is on record that illegals are “already Americans,” and under Alejandro Mayorkas, the Biden Department of Homeland Security is effectively the Department of Human Trafficking. John Fonte of the Hudson Institute makes a strong case that “operational control of the border is no longer in American hands,” and under the control of Mexican cartels. These are criminal organizations but behind the scenes, a more powerful dynamic is in play. Lloyd Billingsley
We grew up being told that the Democrats were the party of the working man.
Right or wrong, generations were raised with that belief. The white collar and gray collar might be either Republican or Democrat – there were always professions that skewed either way – but blue collar? That was Democrat to the core.
Looking at today’s America, however, it’s hard to see how the American worker – no matter what color collar he or she wears – can see today’s Democratic Party as anything but an enemy.
The Biden-Harris regime began – Day One - with a flurry of executive orders, cancelling the contracts in place for ongoing work on the Keystone XL pipeline. Most were union construction jobs. Thousands of workers were thrown out of work on the spot – no notice, no severance – just because the incoming regime’s green agenda didn’t square with the idea of a pipeline moving Canadian fuel southward. In state after state along the route, materials were left sitting where they were, work unfinished, people fired and forced to move elsewhere to find new jobs.
And speaking of moving elsewhere… also among that flurry of executive orders were cancellations of existing permits for drilling on federal lands. And even more so, the hiring of federal bureaucrats – the top tier in every agency are always political hires – with the orders to slow-walk future permit applications. Drilling, exploration, R&D, everything in the critical oil and gas sector that requires any federal permit, from drilling on federal lands, to drilling on private lands that require government access or government authorization of any kind, slowed to a crawl instantly. For all intents and purposes, this development just isn’t happening anymore. And that’s why gasoline has more than doubled in price (Illinoisans were paying under $2/gallon in the weeks before the last election and we’re paying over $4.00/gallon in the weeks before this upcoming one).
If you commute to work or school, this crowd has more than doubled your transportation cost.
On the U.S. West Coast, there’s been a growing problem for years; our coastal seaport complexes are too small to handle current volume, and our rail network’s inland hubs are much too small as well. This isn’t a federal problem; counties and states just need to buy land, and expand to meet the needs. But the Biden-Harris regime muscled in anyway, trying to force the ports to alleviate congestion by the imposition of late fees – as if the cargo were sitting still, clogging up the place, on purpose!
The biggest problem in the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach is that California’s overwhelmingly Democrat state keeps passing laws that are pushing about half of California’s truckers out of the state for good. If the Biden-Harris regime wanted to help, it could pressure Sacramento and Los Angeles to cancel their idiotic green rules that ban half the trucks from the ports, and to cancel AB5, the state law designed to make owner-operators give up their businesses and work for somebody else.
But when given a choice between siding with truck drivers or siding with government bureaucrats, you know who the Biden-Harris crowd chose.
The ILWU is one of the most powerful unions in the world, controlling every port on the West Coast. Their longshoremen, clerks, and crane operators had their contract up for renewal in June. The regime made it clear… no strike, no slowdown, nothing, until after the election. They’ve stayed at the table dutifully; there’s been no strike. Yet. But in an economy like this, was meddling with their contract negotiation fair to the workers? Again, the Democratic Party had its eyes on November 8, not on the good of the working man.
This same problem is writ that much larger on America’s railroads. There are a dozen huge railroad worker unions, all of whom negotiate their new contract as a team. The way they work, all twelve must agree to the contract or they go back to the drawing board; if any strike, the rest strike in solidarity. The Biden-Harris regime got the union bosses to tentatively accept a flawed contract (sick leave issues, personal leave issues, safety concerns from crew size changes, etc.)… and present it to their members as late as possible. They didn’t care if it was a good contract, they just wanted to postpone any strike until after the election. The union bosses accepted the contract, but as the rank and file started voting on it this month, two member unions have already rejected it, probably with more rejections to follow. This sets us up for a potential nationwide rail strike after November 19, just in time for Thanksgiving or Christmas. The regime’s focus wasn’t on the working man, it was on kicking one more can past November 8.
Then there’s transportation’s effect on all of us. The aforementioned problem of gasoline prices hitting the working man’s wallet is just a drop in the bucket, compared to what doubling or trebling the diesel fuel price has done to the country. This one issue, more than any other, has driven up the production costs of everything made or sold in America. Transportation costs are the main reason for the massive inflation at retail stores and online - the reason why the price of beef has doubled and the price of eggs has tripled. Eight percent? Ha. Maybe on milk and orange juice. Most of us see much higher grocery inflation. The policies of today’s Democrats have cost the average American five to ten thousand dollars this year, depending on income level, age and geography.
And that’s not counting retirement plans. Some 40 or 50 years ago, the blue collar workers had pension plans. Since the advent of 401Ks, all three collars are more likely to have a personally-driven retirement investment plan, which requires ongoing success in the stock market. What have the policies of today’s Democrat politicians done to that market? It’s down 15 to 20 percent this year. And that means that every worker’s 401K is also likely down a fifth. What does this do to real people? It reduces their standard of living in retirement, or adds years of working before they even can retire. But federal politicians get a federal pension; they’re insulated from such market concerns. They’re focused on that reelection.
Inflation is known as “the poor people’s tax;” it’s been the key goal of both parties to keep inflation low for generations. But today we have the highest inflation rate in over 40 years, admitted to be about 8%, but for most people, it totals something more like 16 to 20%, because one’s personal rate of inflation depends on what one buys. A person who buys beef is suffering more than a person who buys pork, because beef has gone up much more than pork. A person who must drive to work suffers more than a person who works remote from his basement, or who lives in a big city and takes a bus. This inflation is crippling, and the deepening recession means people will be that much less able to handle it… but the Biden-Harris regime isn’t interested in solving the problem, just in papering it over so they don’t lose too many votes on November 8.
Perhaps the most telling example of the Democratic Party’s abandonment of what used to be called “the working class” was the transparent effort of this regime to have the federal government illegally absorb a trillion dollars in college student loans this fall. These are largely people earning six figures per year, a high percentage of them with advanced degrees. These aren’t the hardworking longshoremen, railroad engineers, and factory assembly line workers who used to form the core of the Democratic Party. A lot of these college loan defaulters wouldn’t know a lathe, conveyor belt, or arc welder from the background in their video games. But blue collar workers’ taxes (and their children’s and grandchildren’s taxes) will be paying off the masters degrees and doctorates of these latte-drinking vegans for the next 100 years.
How easily the Biden-Harris regime threw their old base overboard to take care of their new base. The greenies and academics, the counter-culturists and bureaucrats. These are the Democratic Party’s base today. Either they’ve lost all interest in the working man… or they just look on him with scorn.
Maybe it’s time the Democrats give up the color “blue.” They don’t deserve it anymore.

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.
The wealth-shifting extraction migration policy is very unpopular, according to a widevariety 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 main objective of “political animals” like Obama and the Clintons is to get elected; it’s not to fix a broken America, nor to protect her. There are people who govern and there are people who campaign; Obama and the Clintons are the latter. Just look at the huge Republican electoral gains under Obama and the Clintons. It’s amazing that Democrats who still care about their party still support the very people who have brought it down.
Republican Kari Lake: Democrat Katie Hobbs Is ‘an Open Borders Globalist’
Democrat gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs is an “open borders globalist,” Republican candidate Kari Lake asserted in an interview.
Katie Hobbs is “an open borders globalist” who “wants to take what Newsom has done for California which is destroy that state and do the same thing here in Arizona” Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake remarked in a town hall interview with Sean Hannity.
“If we elect someone like Katie Hobbs, we’re going to turn into California 2.0 and nobody wants that,” Lake added.
The Trump-endorsed candidate went on to say “look at her voting record when she was a state senator, and she voted against the border wall. She voted against the virtual border wall and against the border strike force.”
“She even voted against asking the federal government to reimburse us for the costs that were incurred. I don’t know how she can look herself in the mirror.”
“We have a Fentanyl crisis,” Lake said before going on to explain, “when you see a mother come up to you and talk about losing her son or father, or 17 year old son took one pill. A 19 year old son took a half a pill and they’re gone.”
Democrat Katie Hobbs, who has repeatedly refused to debate Lake, has stated that it is “ridiculous” for border security to be a focus of the governor’s race. Meanwhile, the fentanyl crisis has gotten worse as the border crisis continues and millions of illegal immigrants have entered our country.

Biden Spikes Migrant Population by 3 Million to 48 Million
President Joe Biden has inflated the immigrant population by almost three million people since he was inaugurated in January 2021, says a study by the Center for Immigration Studies.
“The 47.9 million foreign-born residents (legal and illegal) in September 2022 is the largest number ever recorded in any U.S. government survey or census; and 2.9 million larger than in January 2021 when President Biden took office,” the center reported on October 27.
“As a share of the total population, the foreign-born now account for 14.6 percent of the population, or one in seven U.S. residents — the highest percentage in 112 years,” said the report, which is based on federal data.
Biden’s rush of illegal migrants is one-and-half-times the inflow of legal immigrants, the report notes. Biden’s inflow is managed by his progressive deputies — led by border chief Alejandro Mayorkas — who are deliberately pushing the population of illegal aliens above 13 million.

Biden’s deputies have welcomed many more than 2.9 million legal immigrants, visa workers, and illegal migrants. But the inflow is offset by the fact that many migrants leave the United States or die of natural causes.
The growing migrant population is shifting the 2022 midterms, said William Gheen, founder of ALIPAC, which backs candidates who oppose migration. Gheen estimates Biden’s inflow of new migrants to be around four million, and he told Breitbart News:
The three top issues that we believe GOP candidates went on are illegal immigration, crime, and inflation … [and] those three are fueling each other.
Illegal immigration is fueling crime and fueling inflation. One of the reasons we don’t have enough housing, apartments, used cars and baby formula in America is this importation of over 4 million people in 22 months by the Biden administration.
The population of immigrants has been rising rapidly since 1965.
The inflow of immigrants was shut down in 1924, after decades of public pressure.
When Biden was born in 1942, the population of immigrants was about 11 million. The immigrant share of the nation’s population was just one in 13 and was heading down to the record low share of one-in-20 in 1970.
The shortage of labor after 1924 forced companies to hire American migrants — such as southern black Americans — and to invent new technologies and labor-saving practices. That economic policy raised wages and exports throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
Migration Policy Institute
But a multi-decade lobbying campaign by business and ethnic groups pushed Congress to reopen the nation’s doors in 1965.
The resulting 1965 inflow of immigrants was doubled by the 1990 immigration law. So the number of migrants in the United States spiked from ten million in 1970 up to 20 million in 1990, and 40 million in 2010.
By 1990, the immigrant population was rising above one-in-thirteen U.S. residents. It grew to one-in-nine in 2000 and is now one-in-seven.
The flood of immigrants — and the export of many jobs to free-trade China — has been great for coastal investors. It has stalled median wages, spiked real estate prices, and redistributed national wealth to investors.
Congressional Budget Office
Biden’s inflow has added about one million households to the nation, said Camarota.
“Immigrants and their children now account for one in five U.S. residents (65 million),” the center’s report said.
That 65 million is one in five of the U.S. population of 331 million people.
The massive inflow has shifted a vast amount of money, civic status, and political clout from wage-earners to investors, from young people to old people, from the central states to the coastal cities, and from the manufacturing businesses to the consumption businesses.
This economic shift helps to explain why the federal government continues its Extraction Migration strategy of goosing the U.S. economy with poor workers, consumers, and renters pulled from poor countries.
The establishment’s preference for a population of grateful, compliant, and cheap migrants is like a lawyer divorcing the aging first wife who paid for his college degree, said one sardonic advocate for Americans:
The first wife? She’s older now. She’s had a couple like kids, and you know, the kids are hard to raise and she’s not looking as good as she used to be, so I’d rather go with a young glamorous wife.
If present trends continue, the center’s report says, “the foreign-born share of the population will reach 14.9 percent of the U.S. population in August next year, surpassing the all-time highs reached in 1910 (14.7 percent) and 1890 (14.8 percent).”
Many polls show the public wants to welcome some immigration, but the polls also show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into the jobs needed by the families of blue-collar and white-collar Americans.
New York City, New York, officials are readying a plan to fill more luxury hotels with border crossers and illegal aliens arriving daily on buses from Texas.
For more than six months, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has been busing border crossers and illegal aliens to New York City, a sanctuary city. The latest figures show that more than 19,400 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived on buses — 73 percent of whom remain in the city’s overcrowded homeless shelter system.
City officials have started putting the new arrivals in a tent city located on Randall’s Island that includes free WiFi, video games, laundry service, a popcorn maker, and other amenities.
Now officials will also house about 160 border crossers and illegal aliens in the Washington Jefferson Hotel in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood.
W42ST reports that in “…emails obtained by W42ST, the Department of Social Services (DSS) informed local elected officials and some Manhattan Community Board 4 members late Monday evening” of the new arrangements:
“As you are aware, New York City is currently in a state of emergency as we continue to experience a sharp increase in asylum seekers from Latin America and other regions, with more than 16,000 individuals entering New York City’s shelter system since May,” the email said. [Emphasis added]
“The City is continuing to work to provide comprehensive support and resources to these individuals in addition to our everyday New Yorkers experiencing hardship, and at this time must move rapidly to meet our legal and moral obligation to house those in need.” [Emphasis added]
Meanwhile, The Row NYC has reportedly been housing border crossers and illegal aliens as well and officials said the luxury hotel will house a maximum of 200.
At this week’s New York gubernatorial debate, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) blasted Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul for having failed to demand President Joe Biden’s administration crack down on illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border.
The latest estimates reveal that about 5.5 million border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived at the southern border since Biden took office. From February 2021 to August 2022, the Biden administration released about 1.35 million border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities.
