THE BIDEN KLEPTOCRACY

American people deserve to know what China was up to with Joe Biden, especially when Beijing had already shelled out millions of dollars to Biden family members — including millions in set-asides for “the big guy.” What else is on that infamous Hunter Biden laptop? The conflicted Biden Justice Department cannot be trusted to engage in any meaningful oversight on this issue. We need a special counsel now. TOM FITTON - JUDICIAL WATCH

Peter Schweizer’s ‘Red-Handed’ Hits #1 on New York Times Bestseller List for 3rd Week in a Row

Peter Schweizer’s blockbuster new book Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win has landed at number one on the New York Times bestseller list for the third week in a row since its release by HarperCollins.

Schweizer, whose past books have sparked an FBI investigation and exposed congressional insider trading that spearheaded groundbreaking legislation, has called the revelations in Red-Handed the “scariest” of his quarter-century career investigating corruption.

As the book’s subtitle states, Red-Handed exposes the vast complicity of elites – from politicians to diplomats to business, tech, and entertainment tycoons – who have enriched themselves by advancing the interests of China’s communist regime.

Schweizer, who is the president of the nonpartisan Government Accountability Institute (GAI) and a Breitbart News senior contributor, spent over a year conducting the research for Red-Handed with his team of forensic investigators at GAI, combing through a trove of financial and corporate records. The book contains 1,093 endnotes and 81 pages of source material with no off-the-record sources, making it easier for federal law enforcement and U.S. intelligence services to track down the book’s bombshell revelations.

Indeed, Breitbart reported Wednesday that U.S. House Republicans have introduced the “Stop CCP Act” to impose sanctions on Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials, including Chinese dictator Xi Jinping and his family. The legislative proposal comes on the heels of the shocking revelations in Schweizer’s book.

Leaders on Capitol Hill — including Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) — are also calling for Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate the revelations in Red-Handed concerning President Joe Biden’s family members’ business dealings with individuals with direct ties to the highest levels of China’s spy apparatus.

The New York Post’s editorial board echoed these calls in an op-ed headlined, “Appoint a special counsel on Hunter Biden—now.”

Breitbart’s coverage of Red-Handed’s revelations include:

• How the Biden family scored some $31 million from five deals in China, all with individuals with direct ties to the highest levels of China’s intelligence apparatus
• How a Chinese global energy company linked to a Chinese intelligence operation sent close to $6 million to Hunter Biden in 2017
• How American elites — including the Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe — purposefully aid the communist regime of China
• How donations from Communist China to the University of Pennsylvania almost tripled after the university established a “Biden Center” in 2017 and gave former Vice President Joe Biden a professorship
• How Hunter Biden planned to share his family’s office space in Washington, DC, with a Chinese intelligence-linked firm that employed a man Hunter described as “the f**king spy chief of China”
• How Hunter Biden’s business deals were helpful to the Belt and Road Initiative, which is China’s colonialist scheme for buying influence across the Third World and luring poor nations into taking loans from Chinese banks they can never repay
• How 23 former U.S. senators and congressmen (most of whom are Republican) have lobbied for Chinese military or intelligence-linked companies after leaving office
• How politicians use tepid criticism of China’s human rights abuses as cover to continue doing Beijing’s bidding — a concept the CCP refers to as “big help with a little bad mouth”
• How members of the Bush family cashed in on friendship with the Chinese official involved in the Tiananmen Square massacre
• How the husband of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee, was the part owner of a Chinese firm that allegedly sold computers with spyware chips to the U.S. military
• How House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) softened her previous criticism of the Chinese Communist Party as her husband and son scored big business deals in China
• How Pelosi reined in her criticism of the 2008 Beijing Olympics after her family members were involved in business ventures in China that would benefit from the 2008 Games
• How Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has followed in his father Pierre’s footsteps both in assuming high office and in using it to further the interests of the Chinese Communist Party
• How Wall Street titan Steve Schwarzman of Blackstone launched a $100 million global education scholarship program for Americans and other students studying in China to inculcate the superiority of Chinese communism
• How Antony Blinken helped American universities “navigate problems” of legally balancing their Pentagon contracts while still accepting Chinese funding of dubious origin, and how he encouraged the U.S. government to deny political asylum to a high profile Chinese Communist Party defector who could have been a priceless intelligence asset for the United States
• How American universities have often not complied with federal laws when it comes to accepting donations linked to the Chinese Communist Party 

Schweizer’s track record investigating both Republicans and Democrats is well-established, winning him a unique mix of bipartisan praise for his investigative work from both the left and the right. After the release of Schweizer’s bestselling Clinton Cash, liberal columnist Eleanor Clift called Schweizer “an equal-opportunity investigator, snaring Republicans as well as Democrats.” Clift added: “It’s a mistake for the Clinton campaign to write off conservative author Peter Schweizer as a right-wing hack. It won’t work, and it’s not true.” Similarly, Harvard Law School Professor Lawrence Lessing wrote that “on any fair reading, the pattern of behavior that Schweizer has charged is corruption.”

Schweizer is also the author of Throw Them All Out, which, according to left-leaning Slate, was “the book that started the STOCK Act stampede.” The bipartisan STOCK Act (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge) banned insider trading by members of Congress and was signed into law by President Barack Obama on April 4, 2012. The legislation received overwhelming support from both parties. One of the main figures featured in Schweizer’s Throw Them All Out, then-chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Spencer Bachus (R-AL), announced he would not seek reelection after the book’s reporting. CBS’s 60 Minutes did an investigative report on Schweizer’s revelations that won them the Joan Shorenstein Barone Award for excellence in Washington-based journalism.

Schweizer: Joe Biden Was a ‘Beneficiary’ of Hunter’s Deals with China

Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer said Tuesday on FNC’s “America’s Newsroom” that President Joe Biden was a “beneficiary” of his son Hunter’s business deals with China.

Schweizer, the author of Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, said, “What was initially a story of cronyism and corruption we now have to recognize is an intelligence story, and it’s not just a question of the Bidens getting rich. We have to start having the conversation and investigating whether the Biden family may be compromised.”

He continued, “We knew that there was a commercial tie in the past, that Hunter Biden put it together. I broke story in 2018. What we now know are two separate strands that are critically important. Using the Hunter Biden laptop and using emails from a Gmail account of one of Hunter’s business partners, he gave us access to the email account. We now know that every deal that the Bidens got in China came through individuals with links to the highest level of Chinese intelligence.”

Schweizer added, “We also now know that Hunter Biden did these deals, but the larger family benefited. We know that James Biden, Joe Biden’s brother, got at least $2 million of that money from China. We also now know that Hunter Biden was subsidizing his father’s lifestyle. He was paying for his bills. He was paying for renovations on his home up in Delaware while Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States. It’s not only illegal according to ethics laws. It also shows that Joe Biden is now a beneficiary of the foreign dealings that Hunter Biden has had. It’s no longer good enough for him to say, well, I didn’t have anything involved. He was a beneficiary.”

President Joe Biden’s job approval numbers are underwater in California, according to the latest poll co-sponsored by the University of California, Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies and the Los Angeles Times.

Registered voters in California — a typically blue state and his vice president’s home state — appear to be unhappy with the president after a year of poor decision-making, leading to failed policies, such as the supply chain crisis, record-high inflation, and the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.

More importantly, most of the president’s key legislative agenda items have stalled in Congress, thanks to the Republican bloc and two Senate Democrats — Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) — not willing to give in to the far-left side of their party.

Forty-eight percent of the registered voters in California disapprove of his performance as president. In comparison, 47 percent said they approved of his performance as president, and five percent had no opinion.

In fact, it is noteworthy to add Biden’s approval numbers are way below the 62 percent of voters from the state who voted for him in 2020. In addition, the poll showed that Biden’s poll numbers are only above water in Los Angeles and San Francisco — two Democrat strongholds — while it is underwater across the rest of the state.

This recent poll reversed Biden’s poll numbers from the state last July when the plurality approved of him. At the time, that poll showed Biden with a 59 percent approval and only a 37 percent disapproval.

The poll also noted that the most significant increase for Biden was his disapproval rating and of those that strongly disapprove. Of the current poll’s 48 percent disapproval, 34 percent “strongly disapprove,” a seven percent increase since last July.

Additionally, the poll also found that California respondents are unhappy with Vice President Kamala Harris. Only 38 percent of the respondents approved of her job performance, while 46 percent disapproved of her.

Furthermore, California respondents said they are unhappy with the Democrat-led Congress, which has a 20 percent approval with a 72 percent disapproval.

The Berkeley IGS/LA Times poll asked 8,937 registered voters in California and was conducted in English and Spanish between February 3 and 10. The poll’s estimated margin of error is plus or minus two percentage points.

Michael Lind: Migration Is All About Cutting Americans’ Wages

“So-called ‘immigration reform’ is all about profits,” says Michael Lind, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin.

The Yale-educated author wrote:

… do low-wage immigrants—regardless of whether they are legal or illegal—actually suppress wages and/or take away jobs? This brings us to what I think of as the borscht belt theory of immigration. The best-known joke identified with the borscht belt—the region of hotels and resorts in the Catskill Mountains that once served a heavily Jewish immigrant clientele—involves a typical patron who complains that “The food in this place is really terrible, and the portions are so small!”

The borscht belt theory of immigration goes like this: “Immigrants do not suppress wages—and without more immigrants, wages will go up and everything will be more expensive!”…

Both statements cannot be true. It cannot be the case that immigrant competition does not suppress wages in a particular occupation, and at the same time also [be] true that employers in the absence of immigration would be forced to raise wages to attract workers and pass the costs along to consumers.

Lind is the author of The New Class War: Saving Democracy from the Managerial Elite, which “debunks the idea that the [populist] insurgencies are primarily the result of bigotry.” The book:

… traces how the breakdown of mid-century class compromises between business and labor led to the conflict, and reveals the real battle lines.
On one side is the managerial overclass—the university-credentialed elite that clusters in high-income hubs and dominates government, the economy and the culture. On the other side is the working class of the low-density heartlands—mostly, but not exclusively, native and white.

The two classes clash over immigration, trade, the environment, and social values, and the managerial class has had the upper hand. As a result of the half-century decline of the institutions that once empowered the working class, power has shifted to the institutions the overclass controls: corporations, executive and judicial branches, universities, and the media.

Lind’s new article in Tablet magazine emphasizes how migration is used to sneak wages out of employees’ pay packets, and then sent to Wall Street where it inflates stock investors’ wealth:

When the intellectual apologists for cheap-labor immigration policies in journalism, the academy, and libertarian and progressive think tanks claim that there are entire categories of jobs that American citizens and legal immigrants already here refuse to do, they really mean that workers refuse to do those jobs in bad conditions for low wages.

Scholars have documented many industries and occupations in which employers have used low-wage legal or illegal immigrants or guest workers to break unions and keep wages low, from janitorial services to meat-packing. In tight labor markets, like the one caused by the tech bubble in the late 1990s, the recovery just before the COVID-19 pandemic, and the present period of supply disruptions, employers find that they have to raise wages and lower requirements to attract employees. That’s good for workers, even if it’s painful for employers and some consumers.

Breitbart News has extensively covered the role of money, wages, and stock values in migration politics. Journalists at corporate media outlets only cover the family dramas of struggling migrants.

JOE BIDEN AND HIS SEC. OF OPEN BORDERS HAVE USHERED MORE THAN 2 MILLION ILLEGALS OVER THE BORDERS AND THEN QUICKLY SCATTERED THEM ACROSS AMERICA. HOW MANY WILL GET WELFARE AND AMERICAN JOBS? HOW MANY WILL BE HOUSED FOR 'FREE' IN JAILS AND PRISONS?

“Pennsylvania may be two thousand miles from Mexico, but a massive number of illegal immigrants are flooding into our communities,” McCormick told Breitbart News. “And President Biden is doing far worse than simply allowing it; he’s actually facilitating it. Right before Christmas, a plane with over 100 illegal immigrants on board landed in Scranton in the middle of the night. They have flown at least 11 planeloads into Philadelphia alone. But it’s not just the planes; they’re coming by any means necessary. They’re often released into our commonwealth with orders to show up to court, but most will never show. Extremely conservative estimates say that Pennsylvania is already home to over 150,000 illegal immigrants. Over 50,000 of them live in Philadelphia, welcomed by the radical left city government that has made it a sanctuary city. We’ve got to enforce the law.”

The viewpoint also represents a departure from the business and corporate-backed pushes for more immigration overall, and seems to further indicate an ongoing shift among Republicans away from special interests toward the interests of American workers—a trend that has rapidly intensified in recent years.

Exclusive — PA’s David McCormick Outlines America First Immigration Vision After Border Trip

Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate David McCormick outlined an America First immigration vision after a trip to the U.S. border with Mexico, providing Breitbart News with an exclusive look at what he intends to focus on when it comes to the issue.

McCormick, a Republican vying for the nomination to replace retiring Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA), told Breitbart News perhaps most importantly that when it comes to legal immigration, the focus needs to be on not negatively impacting Americans and legal immigrants who are already in the country.

“Members of Congress must prioritize our own

 citizens,” McCormick told Breitbart News. “I support

 President Trump’s pro-worker immigration reforms

 to include preventing corporate visa abuse, raising

 national security standards, establishing responsible

 asylum and refugee controls, implementing the Hire

 American program, and promoting a merit-based

 system. It is neither in the interest of today’s citizens,

 nor tomorrow’s immigrants, to admit numbers that

 erode living conditions, strain healthcare, and make

 it difficult for low-income workers to rise out of

 poverty. Washington needs to ensure an immigration

 system committed to the well-being of our people,

 from all places and backgrounds, who are already

 lawfully living here today.”

This is a significant development in that McCormick, the former CEO of the world’s largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, is explicitly putting a marker down that he understands that “corporate visa abuse,” and more broadly the number of migrants allowed into the country legally, do have an effect on the “living conditions” and economic and general wellbeing of Americans and legal immigrants, particularly “low-income workers.” The viewpoint also represents a departure from the business and corporate-backed pushes for more immigration overall, and seems to further indicate an ongoing shift among Republicans away from special interests toward the interests of American workers—a trend that has rapidly intensified in recent years.

That populist push on the economics of immigration, something worth further exploring with McCormick and other candidates in 2022, comes in addition to the broader view on immigration policy that McCormick laid out for Breitbart News after his border trip.

“We need to return to the Trump policies that worked,” McCormick said. “Finishing the border wall is the backbone of any serious plan. ‘Catch-and-release’ has to go back to being ‘detain-and-remove.’ We must prosecute immigration-related crimes, including illegal entry, and block federal benefits from flowing to illegal aliens. It’s time to defund sanctuary cities. Here’s the bottom line: Illegal immigrants are coming in record numbers because they know Biden is letting them in. I will use every resource I have as a senator to ensure that if you come illegally, you will be apprehended, detained and sent home – you’re not staying. That’s how you eliminate the incentive to come illegally in the first place.”

McCormick said he visited the border to see firsthand the damage of the current administration’s policies. His team provided photos of McCormick at the border.

“I came here to the U.S.-Mexico border to see first-hand the challenges our brave border patrol agents are facing and to learn how I can better have their backs if the people of Pennsylvania send me to represent them in the U.S. Senate,” McCormick said. “The border and illegal immigration – and the increase in crime and drug trafficking resulting from Biden’s policies – are a big deal in our commonwealth and will be a major focus of mine if elected. I’m grateful to be here with border patrol union president Brandon Judd. His organization’s endorsement is significant because it sends a clear message that I’m the candidate in Pennsylvania who’s going to fight the hardest to reverse the disastrous policies of President Biden, who has created the worst border crisis in American history.”

During the trip, McCormick was endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council—the union that represents border patrol agents—in his U.S. Senate bid. Brandon Judd, the head of the National Border Patrol Council, said in a statement that he and the agents stand strongly with McCormick.

“Strong borders can only be achieved with strong leadership and Dave McCormick embodies the kind of strength needed to uphold the rule of law, which is crucial to all United States citizens,” Judd said. He explained why the council endorses McCormick:

Safety and security begins at our borders and Dave understands the importance of this principle and is committed to the men and women of the National Border Patrol Council and will always ensure they have the support and resources needed to do their jobs effectively. Dave has fought to defend our country in uniform for the United States Army and he is the clear choice to continue that fight for our safety, for Pennsylvania and for our country. On behalf of the NBPC I am proud to endorse his candidacy for the United States Senate in Pennsylvania.

This development also comes as McCormick’s chief primary opponent, television doctor Mehmet Oz, was exposed this weekend for having ownership in a family company that faced the highest fine in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) history a few years ago for a scheme hiring and rehiring illegal aliens. That fine, nearly $100 million, was first reported by the New York Post.

This focus from McCormick leaves little doubt that immigration is still a front-and-center GOP primary issue in America—and may be the most important issue to primary voters—and plays an important role in general elections as well.

“Pennsylvania may be two thousand miles from Mexico, but a massive number of illegal immigrants are flooding into our communities,” McCormick told Breitbart News. “And President Biden is doing far worse than simply allowing it; he’s actually facilitating it. Right before Christmas, a plane with over 100 illegal immigrants on board landed in Scranton in the middle of the night. They have flown at least 11 planeloads into Philadelphia alone. But it’s not just the planes; they’re coming by any means necessary. They’re often released into our commonwealth with orders to show up to court, but most will never show. Extremely conservative estimates say that Pennsylvania is already home to over 150,000 illegal immigrants. Over 50,000 of them live in Philadelphia, welcomed by the radical left city government that has made it a sanctuary city. We’ve got to enforce the law.”

What’s more, McCormick argued, Democrat President Joe Biden’s policies lack compassion for everyone affected by them—especially American citizens.

“Last year, Customs and Border Protection seized twice as much fentanyl at the southern border than they did in 2020,” McCormick said. “During that same time period, 5,400 Pennsylvanians suffered a fatal drug overdose, and fentanyl was present in over 75 percent of those deaths. In some counties, like Lackawanna, overdose deaths more than doubled. This is a tragedy, and it’s devastating our communities. So when Democrats talk about conservatives lacking compassion at the border, I say two things: One, they have created a humanitarian mess at the border by attracting throngs of people, many of them women and children who are being exploited, so for them to even mention compassion after creating this giant mess is incredibly hypocritical. Secondly, I want to say, ‘Why don’t you have compassion for the citizens of Pennsylvania? What about our children who are dying because Mexican drug cartels smuggle their product across the border and distribute it into our neighborhoods?’ This is a major problem with China, too. The people of Pennsylvania have had it, and so have I.”

DEMOCRATS FOR OPEN BORDERS?

DOJ: Tech Executives Fraudulently Outsourced U.S. Jobs to Foreign H-1B Visa Workers

A pair of tech executives in San Jose, California, fraudulently imported foreign H-1B visa workers to the United States to hold American jobs they were not authorized to take, federal prosecutors allege.

Namrata Patnaik, 42-years-old, and Kartiki Parekh, 56-years-old, have been charged with visa fraud and conspiracy to commit visa fraud after allegedly operating a job outsourcing scheme that delivered foreign H-1B visa workers to employers at huge profits.

According to a federal indictment, Patnaik and Parekh were executives at PerfectVIPs, a computer chip design company. From 2011 to April 2017, prosecutes allege, Patnaik and Parekh filed 85 fraudulent H-1B visa applications to import foreign workers only to then lend them out to other employers whom they were not authorized to work for.

“Once the applications were approved, Patnaik and Parekh instead created a pool of H-1B workers that were placed at employment positions with other employers, not with PerfectVIPs,” a Department of Justice (DOJ) release states:

This practice provided PerfectVIPs an unfair and illegal advantage over employment-staffing firms. During the period of Patnaik’s and Parekh’s conspiracy, the indictment alleges, the other employers paid fees of nearly $7 million to PerfectVIPs to cover the cost of the H-1B workers’ wages and salaries as well as a profit markup for PerfectVIPs. [Emphasis added]

Patnaik and Parekh are due back in federal court in April and are each facing a maximum of 15 to 25 years in prison if convicted, as well as thousands in fines.

The charges come as President Joe Biden recently expanded big business’s ability to outsource thousands of coveted, high-paying American STEM jobs to foreign graduates.

In fiscal year 2021, the top six H-1B visa employers — Cognizant, Amazon, Tata Consulting Services, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook — sought to outsource nearly 57,000 American tech jobs to foreign H-1B visa workers primarily from India and China.

For years, Breitbart News has chronicled the abuses against white-collar American professionals as a result of the H-1B visa program. There are about 650,000 H-1B visa foreign workers in the U.S. at any given moment. Americans are often laid off in the process and forced to train their foreign replacements, as highlighted by Breitbart News.

Nearly all of H-1B visa reforms imposed by former President Trump have been reversed by Biden and his top Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials. Last year, for example, Biden allowed corporations who had been denied foreign H-1B visa workers by the Trump administration to reapply.

Tech executives are currently lobbying Biden to massively increase the number of foreign H-1B visa workers that corporations are allowed to import each year.

More than 76,000 Afghans, in total, have been brought to the U.S. even as top DHS officials admit that minimal vetting procedures are conducted. This month, an Afghan man was charged with sexually assaulting a woman.

Biden’s Unlimited Resettlement: 74K Afghans Sent to American Communities

President Joe Biden, with help from former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, has resettled more than 74,400 Afghans across American communities since mid-August 2021.

The latest Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data reveals the extent of Biden’s unlimited Afghan resettlement operation — the largest in American history — since his administration’s withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

As of this week, more than 74,400 Afghans have been resettled in small towns and cities across 46 states. Today, just 1,200 Afghans remain temporarily living on U.S. military bases, as all others have been placed in communities.

More than 76,000 Afghans, in total, have been brought to the U.S. even as top DHS officials admit that minimal vetting procedures are conducted. This month, an Afghan man was charged with sexually assaulting a woman.

In January, an Afghan man was convicted for sexually molesting a three-year-old girl. Last year, a 19-year-old Afghan man was arrested in Montana in October 2021 after he allegedly raped an 18-year-old woman in a Missoula hotel. Those charges came after two Afghan men in Wisconsin were charged with domestic abuse and child sex crimes.

DHS has touted the involvement of Welcome.us — a non-governmental organization (NGO) created by Clinton, Bush, and Obama with the financial backing of multinational corporations like Facebook, Microsoft, and Walmart to resettle as many Afghans in American communities as possible.

The Chamber of Commerce is also helping to funnel Afghans into American jobs.

Last month, reports circulated that Biden is looking to bring thousands more Afghans to the U.S. with no end in sight for the resettlement operation. That plan would resettle 2,000 Afghans across American communities every month, putting them on a fast-track vetting and green card process.

Currently, House Democrats are lobbying Biden to fast-track thousands more Afghans into the U.S. at a quicker pace.

Biden’s continuing unlimited flow of Afghans to the U.S. was first authorized by 49 House and Senate Republicans who joined Democrats in September 2021 to fund the resettlement to the sum of $6.4 billion. Then, in December 2021, 20 House and Senate Republicans helped Democrats pass an additional $7 billion in funds to ramp up the endless Afghan migration.

Refugee contractors, the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that rely on American taxpayer money to resettle refugees across the U.S. annually, secured billions as a result of the funding measures.

Every five years, refugee resettlement costs taxpayers nearly $9 billion. Over the course of a lifetime, taxpayers pay about $133,000 per refugee and within five years of resettlement, roughly 16 percent will need taxpayer-funded housing assistance.

Over the last 20 years, nearly a million refugees have been resettled in the nation — more than double that of residents living in Miami, Florida, and it would be the equivalent of annually adding the population of Pensacola, Florida.

 Tom Cotton: If You’re a Human Trafficker or Drug Dealer — You’d Give Biden ‘an A-Plus’ on Immigration

Republicans, Biden, and the Border

By Ted Harvey

At this point in the Biden presidency, he is a gift that keeps on giving to Republicans in 2022. From COVID-19 mandates to the Afghanistan and Ukraine debacles, the Biden administration has failed on so many fronts that Republicans have to choose which failure(s) to highlight ahead of the midterms.

Admittedly, it’s a really good problem to have. Historically speaking, Democrats were always bound to lose congressional seats this year, and it doesn’t help Democrats that dozens of Biden allies are retiring from Congress. Nor does it help that President Biden’s first-term failure keeps putting Democrats on the defensive. Republicans are now poised to flip control of Congress, behind overwhelming support from American voters who are fed up with the left-wing policies and identity politics of the Biden era.

But, to secure victory in 2022, Republicans cannot forget about immigration. With so much going on, the U.S. border crisis may get lost in the news shuffle, but not for lack of importance. To the contrary, the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border is the worst it’s been in decades. Crisis became the status quo shortly after President Biden’s election, and it’s not getting better.

Last year, Mexican border arrests hit a new record, with federal agents recording nearly two million apprehensions. About 20 percent of the illegal immigrants arrested were released into the United States to await hearings on their asylum applications. By the spring, Homeland Security officials are expecting as many as 9,000 border arrests per day -- a higher peak than even last year. Residents of Del Rio, Texas personally witness dozens of illegal immigrants crossing the Rio Grande every week.

In America, that is unacceptable. American citizens should not be forced to see illegal immigrants -- many of them armed and dangerous -- on their doorstep. They should be living in a country that respects its national sovereignty and defends its borders. The U.S.-Mexico border should be protected by those in power, starting at the top. Unfortunately, Biden’s border is more an imaginary line than anything else. As one visitor to Texas recently put it, “The southern border of the United States has become a suggestion, a line that vanishes a little more each day.”

Even more unfortunately, President Biden’s policy of choice is to keep the floodgates open. In recent weeks, the Biden administration has secretly transported countless migrants to Texas airports and boarded them on flights to different cities across the country. With illegal immigrants flying all over the country and in the dark of the night, the Department of Homeland Security has essentially turned into the “Department of Human Smuggling.”

Rather than punishing illegal immigrants for breaking the law, the federal government is subsidizing their lawlessness and setting them up to stay here indefinitely. Reward is taking the place of retribution, incentivizing future migrants to also break the law. Blessed with the Left’s open-borders agenda, why wouldn’t they?

Now is the time for American voters to punish Democrats in return. The “red wave” is coming in 2022, but only if Republicans keep exposing the utter travesty at the border. It’s no wonder that immigration is a top issue for the electorate, with only the economy considered more important (and for good reason, given inflation). Nearly 60 percent of Americans, including independents, disapprove of President Biden’s immigration agenda. Hispanic voters are among the Biden administration’s harshest critics.

Of course, immigration is not the only issue in 2022. After all, U.S. inflation is at seven percent (and counting). Republicans can and should assail the tax-and-spend policies that flooded the economic system with free money, making it more difficult for employers to find workers.

But overlooking the border crisis would be a lost opportunity for Republicans. It could just flip Congress in November.

AG Brnovich: Arizona Can Defend Itself from ‘Invasion’ by Cartels

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich determined that the crimes committed by transnational cartels at the southern border constitute an “invasion,” which Arizona can defend itself from, according to a legal opinion issued on Monday.

Brnovich wrote:

The violence and lawlessness at the border caused by transnational cartels and gangs satisfies the definition of an “invasion” under the U.S. Constitution, and Arizona therefore has the power to defend itself from this invasion under the Governor’s authority as Commander-in-Chief. An actual invasion permits the State to engage in defensive actions within its own territory at or near its border.

Brnovich’s opinion argued the definition of “actually invaded” includes actions by “hostile non-state actors” and is not limited to hostile actions by foreign states.

Furthermore, the commonly understood meaning at the time of the word “invade” covers the activities of the transnational cartels and gangs at the border—they enter Arizona “in [a] hostile manner”; they “enter as an enemy, with a view to … plunder”; they “attack,” “assail,” and “assault”; and they “infringe,” “encroach on,” and “violate” Arizona.

His opinion relied on two constitutional clauses: Article I’s State Self-Defense Clause and Article IV’s Invasion Clause. The State-Self Defense Clause allows states to “engage in war” when “actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay” without Congress’s approval. The Invasion Clause states the federal government “shall protect each [state] against invasion.”

Brnovich cited cartel involvement in drug smuggling, sex and human trafficking, and border violence as proof of the invasion at the southern border. “In 2021, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office encountered 43,229 unauthorized aliens and 51 drug smugglers,” he wrote.

The Arizona Attorney General bolstered his argument with a quote from James Madison, who cited “Virginia using its militia to stop smugglers as an example of a valid exercise of the invasion power.”

“The principal activity of transnational cartels and gangs at the border is to smuggle people and drugs for profit,” he wrote. “Indeed, using the state militia to suppress smugglers was Madison’s paradigmatic example of a justified and Constitutional use of the state militia.”

Former Director Russ Vought of the White House Office of Management—a Cabinet-rank officer—and former Acting Deputy Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Ken Cuccinelli called on Arizona Governor Doug Ducey (R) to invoke the Invasion clause to secure Arizona’s border last October.

Republican Arizona state Rep. Jake Hoffman requested Brnovich’s legal opinion on whether cartel activity at the border constitutes an “invasion.”

Brnovich’s opinion made clear that the decision to act under these constitutional powers is left to Gov. Ducey.

Thus, while this Opinion has concluded that transnational cartel and gang activity in Arizona would meet the legal standard to justify exercise of the State’s power under the State Self-Defense Clause, only the Governor of the State of Arizona has the power to make a final determination that such exercise is justified.

After Brnovich issued his opinion, Cuccinelli again called on Ducey to invoke these powers. “Now we call on Gov. Doug Ducey to use this very clear legal and constitutional authority to protect the people of Arizona from the invasion they’re suffering through their southern border,” he told Fox News.

“It’s not enough for states like Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California to complain about Joe Biden’s failure to do his job, they have the authority to protect themselves,” Cuccinelli added.

In response to Brnovich’s opinion, a Ducey spokesperson called out DHS Secretary Mayorkas and noted that the governor deployed the National Guard to the border.

DHS Secretary Mayorkas admitted himself the border is the worst it’s been in over 20 years. He needs to be held accountable. This administration needs to be held accountable. They have totally failed to address this very real public safety and humanitarian crisis,” said Ducey’s communications director CJ Karamargin. He continued:

Arizona has and will continue to protect our communities with our National Guard, our Border Strike Force and in partnership with local law enforcement. For Attorney General Brnovich to imply the Guard is not on our border does them a serious disservice and shows that he fails to appreciate the commitment these men and women have to protecting Arizona.

Immigration officials apprehended more than 1.7 million migrants in fiscal year 2021 and encountered 178,840 in December alone.

Other attorneys general from border states are yet to issue their own analysis on this issue.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Tentacles of Mexican Cartels Reach into U.S., Says Rep. Chip Roy

ILDEFONSO ORTIZ and GERALD TONY ARANDA

The tentacles of criminal organizations like the Gulf Cartel or the Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas do not end at the Texas border, said U.S. Congressman Chip Roy.

Congressman Roy made those statements during a series of exclusive interviews with Breitbart Texas as he traveled the Texas border in a fact-finding effort amid the current border crisis, which he attributed to the policies of the Biden Administration. Roy stepped away from the formal congressional delegations to border hotspots like McAllen, Laredo, Carrizo Springs, Eagle Pass, and others.

One of the largest takeaways of those visits is that Mexican cartels have real operational control of the border as Mexico’s government remains unable to do anything about it, Roy said.

“That’s something that the American people don’t fully understand,” he said. “The Mexican government–they can’t have their force mean anything in that area. The cartels have control there.”

However, according to Congressman Roy, the power of the cartels does not end at the border. In some cases, U.S. agencies in San Antonio and others have turned a blind eye to the presence and power of cartels, he said.

In the Rio Grande Valley, the Reynosa faction of the Gulf Cartel has been benefiting from the lack of enforcement at the border, while in Laredo the CDN-Los Zetas are the ones reaping the benefits, Roy said.

“They are the ones making a lot of money moving human beings for profit,” he said.

During those visits, Roy has encountered several groups of migrants, some of those who had been trying to run away from authorities such as in Laredo, while in the Rio Grande Valley, migrants became lost in the brush after crossing the river after not being able to find any agents.

“The word has gotten out that Border Patrol is now distracted,” Roy said, explaining that agents from other sectors have been moved to the Rio Grande Valley to man detention and processing facilities. “What does that mean? You don’t have patrols going out and stopping the flow between the ports of entry. So now we have fentanyl up, pounds of marijuana up, human smuggling between ports of entry up, and that is kind of where your bad guys are generally coming. This is the state of our border.”

‘Day Without Immigrants’ Amnesty Protests Fall Flat

9:19

A much-touted “Day Without Immigrants” strike by illegal migrants Monday failed to have any economic impact, largely because illegals move to the United States to work, often on behalf of their families at home, or to pay off the employers who pay their smuggling bills.

“Nearly 100 people gathered at the Oregon Capitol Monday, joining other “Day Without Immigrants” protests around the nation,” the Statesman Journal reported.

“Hundreds” of people reportedly turned out in Kansas City on February 14. That is a very small share of the 150,000 migrants who live in the Kansas City metro area, according to an estimate by the pro-migration American Immigration Council.

“Hundreds” of  people protested in Washington D.C. while waving Mexican and Honduran flags, according to pro-migration activist Erika Andiola:

The protestors called for amnesties and a “path to citizenship” although most politicians reluctantly recognize that the public strongly opposes labor migration.

In Houston, organizers claimed “between 2,000 to 3,000 people attended the local event on Monday,” said ABC13.com. which quoted one of the organizers:

“The idea is that folks take time off of school and work in order to bring attention to the plight of immigrants,” said Cesar Espinosa of FIEL Houston. “We want to show that immigrants make a vital part of our economy and society.”

Roughly 1.7 million migrants live in the Houston metro area, according to the American Immigration Council.

Seven people protested in Boston, Mass. Ten people protested at the bay bridge in San Francisco. Perhaps two hundred protested in New York. A hundred or more protested in San Francisco.

Illegal migrants argued that they are needed by Americans as if Americnas cannot do the migrants’ jobs or develop machines that can do the migrants’ work.

“If it wasn’t for us, what would this country be?” Monica Valdivia told Action News in Fresno, California.

In Utah’s Salt Lake City, protesters “waved Mexican flags and handmade signs that read ‘Citizenship now’ [and] one protester held a banner that read, ‘America runs on immigrants.'” according to the Salt Lake Tribune.

In reality, migrants are not vital to the U.S. economy. Instead, they have been used by employers to help push many millions of hard-working Americans out of jobs and decent wages. The inflow of hard-working illegals has greatly reduced the share of Americans who have jobs and has allowed employers to convert payroll for Americans into profits and stock market value for investors.

The immigration council estimates that almost 700,000 migrants live in the Philadelphia area. But just fifty people turned out in Philadelphia, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.  “The question is whether 11 million immigrants in the U.S. deserve the same love as [citizens] everyone else,” said Maria Serna, an organizer of the rally.

The U.S. constitution provides citizens with unique rights and obligations and does not extend all of those rights to foreigners or to illegal migrants. This focus on fellow national citizens allows a democratic community of mutual obligation and respect, and such national political entities are the norm throughout the world.

The national democratic political structures, however, are denounced by U.S. progressives who hate the legal enforcement of national borders even as they also insist on tight legal enforcement to prevent theft of their property or dilution of their trademarked college credentials.

The quasi-religious hate of the pro-migration progressives is exemplified by Jia Lynn Yang, the top editor for domestic news  at the New York Times, and the progressive author of a 2020 pro-migration book, titled “One Mighty and Irresistible Tide”:

Set against all the sins of America’s past — from slavery to the removal and genocide of American Indians — the arrival of open-hearted immigrants, grateful for a chance at a new life on our shores serves as a constant renewal of hope in the American project. If there is salvation for this country, it very well may lie in the underlying gratitude of a refugee whose life has been saved by the granting of a visa.

Many illegals work for low wages in the nation’s restaurant industries, so their employers recognize the economic incentives to campaign for amnesties. CNN reported on February 16:

chef and entrepreneur José Andrés told NPR this week, “It was a very easy decision” to close his restaurants in Washington, D.C., saying he wants to support his employees who had planned not to work Thursday.

Celebrity chef Rick Bayless, who’s famous for popularizing the complex flavors of Mexico’s cuisine, says he closed four Chicago restaurants for the day out of respect for his staff’s vote.

NPR reported on other D.C. employers who back their illegal-migrant labor:

Ahmad Erfani, who was born in Iran and grew up in France, says he’s closing his bakery, Le Caprice. “Mostly the people who work here are immigrants. We spoke with them, they thought it’s good for solidarity with the others to not work,” he tells member station WAMU.

Erfani added, “They are hard workers. I am not happy when I see they are not very happy these days, because it is difficult. They work hard, they come here six in the morning. It is not very comfortable for us.”

The Salt Lake City Tribune reported:

Cresencio Pacheco said he missed work at his construction job to attend the protest. “I’ve only lived in the country for a little bit, but I’ve come to realize the importance of immigrants, of illegal immigrants, particularly those who pay taxes year after year,” he said in Spanish.

Pacheco attended the protest with his co-workers and his employer, who allowed him to miss work for the day to advocate for immigrant rights.

Pacheco’s employer, Craig Munford, who owns a construction company, Clearcut Building Solutions, was also in attendance. He said, for years, he’s seen some of his employees or their family members be deeply impacted by the lack of a path to citizenship.

The vast majority of illegal migrants — at least 9 million — worked through the claimed strike because they are poor, desperate, and diligent. On February 7, Reuters described one of the migrants who was delivered to a slaughterhouse by the tactic alliance of coyotes, progressives, cartels, and President Joe Biden’s federal agencies:

At age 16, when most kids in the United States are halfway through high school, Amelia Domingo found herself working on chicken processing machines in this farm town and deep in debt to loan sharks in her native Guatemala.

After borrowing $10,000 for smugglers to get her through Mexico, Amelia crossed into Arizona last February and turned herself over to [Customs and Border Protection] immigration officials. They led her, she said, from a crowded border facility to a shelter for unaccompanied minors. After about a month, officials from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees shelters for migrant children, released her to a sister here in Alabama.

[…]

One day, she said, she hopes to return to Guatemala. First, though, she must continue wiring most of her wages home, where her parents pay off the loan sharks and what she said is a dizzying interest rate of 10% per month. She’ll return, she said, “if I ever have the means.”

Legal migrants worked during the claimed strike. “We support the rally, but, like a business, we have to be open,” said Juan Carlos Romero, told the Philadelphia Inquirer. He heads the local Mexican Business Association.”

The claimed protests were touted by the pro-migration editors at the Google advertising company:

Migration moves money, and since at least 1990, the federal government has tried to extract people from poor countries so they can serve U.S. investors as cheap workers, government-aided consumers, and high-density renters in the U.S. economy.

That economic strategy has no stopping point, and it is harmful to ordinary Americans because it cuts their career opportunities and their wages while it also raises 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.

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.

Unsurprisingly, a wide variety of little-publicized polls do show deep and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.

The opposition is growing, anti-establishment, multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity that Americans owe to each other.

Josh Hawley: Bush’s Globalist ‘New World Order’ Has Made the Elites Rich, Eroded ‘Middle Class Way of Life’

JOHN BINDER

President George H.W. Bush’s plan for a “New World Order” with global integration of the United States’ economy has made the ruling class richer while eroding “the middle class way of life” in America, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) says.

In an interview on The Realignment podcast, Hawley described how the long-held push by both political establishments to massively globalize the American economy has been at the expense of U.S. workers while the ruling class and their allies in the donor class have profited.

Hawley said:

If I have to give you a sense of the kind of vision that I think voters rejected, President Bush … gave a speech to Congress in 1990 where he talked about a ‘New World Order,’ and he was saying this of the situation in the context with Iraq, but he talked broadly about a ‘New global liberal order’ that of course America would lead, that it would involve America making the world much more like America and the rest of the world kind of blending in with America … and there wouldn’t be the need for hard borders any longer, and we’d have free trade, and we’d have great multinational cooperation, and we’d have these multinational corporations that can do business in any country, and it would be a whole new era. [Emphasis added]

…

Well, as it turns out — first of all, China and Russia didn’t get the memo on that — secondly, as it turns out, that ‘New World Order’ wasn’t good for American workers. And as it turned out, it didn’t protect American middle class values. As it turned out, it undermined the middle class way of life. [Emphasis added]

 

Hawley said the ruling class is primarily a “small group of people” from a “fairly narrow band of colleges and graduate schools” who largely agree on the most challenging issues facing the nation and oppose the traditionalism of middle American communities.

“They also tend to be the winners of this global integration. George Bush’s ‘New World Order,’ the people who have been in charge of the parties who run the media, who hold commanding heights in our culture; they win from that agreement,” Hawley said of the ruling class. “They’re doing great; they are the wealthy in our society. They are the ones who are globally integrated and global facing.”

Hawley continued:

They also tend to be skeptical of places like Missouri and of things like home and community. So they say that they value those things, but you listen to somebody … and somebody says, “I’m not going to move from this small town even though I’m having trouble finding a job because my family is here and because this is where we’ve lived for generations and this is where my friends are and I want to make a life here.” A lot of D.C. elites in both parties listen to that and they’re like, “That’s crazy.”

As Breitbart News has chronicled, free trade has helped gut working and middle class American jobs and stripped whole middle American towns of their industries and livelihoods.

Since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed and China was allowed to enter the World Trade Organization (WTO), five million American manufacturing jobs and more than 50,000 manufacturing facilities have been eliminated from the U.S. economy. This mass elimination of jobs due to free trade has coincided with an almost 600 percent increase in trade deficits.

In recent years, the economic recovery from the Great Recession disproportionately benefitted elite zip codes. For example, by 2016, elite zip codes had a surplus of 3.6 million jobs, which is more than the combined bottom 80 percent of American zip codes. While populations have grown in major cities where the wealthiest of Americans live, rural communities have continued to shrink.

Democrats: Fix Inflation with Amnesty for Illegal Aliens, More Immigration

Democrats are parroting United States Chamber of Commerce talking points as their latest fix to President Joe Biden’s record inflation, urging Congress to pass amnesty for illegal aliens and drive up already record-setting legal immigration levels.

Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) told Business Insider that Democrats should look at passing a “comprehensive immigration bill,” a term synonymous with amnesty and expanded legal immigration, as a way to cut inflation.

Tester’s remarks come a month after Chamber of Commerce CEO Suzanne Clark begged Republicans and Democrats to provide amnesty for illegal aliens and double legal immigration levels so as to provide big business with a never-ending flow of foreign workers to hire at low wages.

“We must double the number of people legally immigrating to the U.S. and we must create a permanent solution for the ‘dreamers’ — those young men and women who know no other home and who contribute to their communities, but whose legal status is in limbo,” Clark said.

The Chamber’s policy suggestion would bring anywhere from two to four million legal immigrants to the U.S. every year — an annual foreign-born population nearly six times the size of Boston, Massachusetts.

Meanwhile, nearly 16 million Americans remain jobless but all want full-time employment.

In contrast, pro-American immigration reformers have said House and Senate Republicans must take a fierce “pro-border, pro-citizen, pro-worker, and resolutely anti-amnesty” position in the midterm elections and while legislating.

Rather than amnesty and increased immigration, reformers told Breitbart News that legal immigration levels ought to be majorly reduced to boost U.S. wages for the nation’s working and middle class with a tightening of the labor market as well as reforms like nationwide mandatory E-Verify and a total elimination of the outsourcing H-1B visa program.

Currently, the U.S. gives out 1.2 million green cards to foreign nationals every year while about 1.5 million temporary work visas are rewarded to foreign nationals to take American jobs. The massive waves of legal immigration have led to the highest level of foreign workers in the U.S. economy in decades, making up at least 17.5 percent of the workforce.

Legal immigration levels have driven the U.S. population to a record 331.9 million.

Joe Biden’s Economic Strategy Explodes Public Opposition to Migration

2,236

NEIL MUNRO

15 Feb 20220

8:54

President Joe Biden’s open-doors immigration policy has caused a huge 22-point shift in public opinion on preferred immigration levels,  a Gallup poll released Monday reveals.

Only nine percent of Americans want more immigration, while 35 percent want less immigration, says the Gallup poll of 811 adults.

That is a dramatic 22-point shift since the end of President Donald Trump’s term on January 20, 2021, when 19 percent wanted less migration and 15 percent wanted more migration.

After just one year of Biden’s border welcome, 69 percent of Republicans wanted immigration reduced, almost double the 40 percent who wanted a reduction in early January 2021.

The share of independents who wanted less immigration has jumped from 19 percent in 2021 up to 32 percent in 2022.

Before Biden’s inauguration, only 2 percent of Democrats wanted more migrants. One year later, 11 percent of Democrats say they want lower migration.

And Biden’s deputies are still digging him deeper into the hole.

In 2021, for example, Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden’s pro-migration border security chief, helped roughly 1.5 million economic migrants cross the southern border. Mayorkas also relaxed rules to help companies import more foreign graduates for jobs needed by U.S. graduates, and announced plans to expand asylum-based migration into Americans’ jobs and communities.

The extraction-migration economic strategy was outlined on January 21 by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellon in a speech to ‘Virtual Davos Agenda’ which was organized by the globalist World Economic Forum.

The administration’s economic policy is a “modern supply side approach” that boosts economic growth with more imported workers, productivity gains, and tax reforms, she said:

My thanks to Klaus [Schwab] and to the World Economic Forum for hosting me.

[…]

Labor supply has been a concern in the United States even before the pandemic, in part due to an aging population and in part due to a labor force participation rate that has trended downward over the past 20 years.  Now COVID and declining immigration have further reduced the workforce …

A second focus of the Biden agenda is to enhance productivity. Over the last decade, U.S. labor productivity growth averaged a mere 1.1 percent—roughly half that during the previous fifty years.  This has contributed to slow growth in wages and compensation, with especially slow historical gains for workers at the bottom of the wage distribution.

But these goals are contradictory. The immigration of more labor actually reduces per-person wages and minimizes investors’ incentives to raise productivity, even as it also expands the overall size of the economy.

Biden’s pro-migration deputies are already reinflating the cheap-labor bubble that existed from the 1990s until it was popped by the combination of Trump’s lower-immigration policies and China’s coronavirus crash. The labor bubble encouraged Wall Street investors to create many low-wage jobs, to reduce investment in high-wage jobs and productivity-boosting machinery, and to bet on a consumer economy that is inflated by deficit spending and extraction migration.

The contradictory policies are likely caused by differences within Biden’s political coalition and help drive public disappointment in his approach.

Biden and many of his east coast allies — such as unions — seem to want a high-wage, high-tech economy.

But many of his deputies — including his chief of staff, Ron Klain — are entwined with the coastal investors who want to expand the nation’s consumer economy with more cheap workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.

The investors’ extraction-migration strategy is hidden within the Build Back Better legislation, which has stalled because of deep and growing public and GOP opposition. It is also buried in the House Democrats’ anti-China legislation. and is strongly supported by the party’s investor-funded woke progressives who want to gain political power by breaking America’s populist culture into a chaotic multicultural empire.

Politicians recognize that Americans want migration policy to help Americans, not investors, foreigners, and progressives.

“Members of Congress must prioritize our own citizens,” David McCormick, a contender in the GOP Senate primary in Pennsylvania, told Breitbart News. He continued:

I support President Trump’s pro-worker immigration reforms to include preventing corporate visa abuse, raising national security standards, establishing responsible asylum and refugee controls, implementing the Hire American program, and promoting a merit-based system. It is neither in the interest of today’s citizens, nor tomorrow’s immigrants, to admit numbers that erode living conditions, strain healthcare, and make it difficult for low-income workers to rise out of poverty. Washington needs to ensure an immigration system committed to the well-being of our people, from all places and backgrounds, who are already lawfully living here today.

If Congress seeks to import workers, “we need to do it smartly, in order to once again ensure that those new workers aren’t competing with our existing workers for jobs, competing for wages and salaries,” Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) told Punchbowl’s Anna Palmer in a January 25 interview. “This is how we’ll build majority support for immigration reform,” said Young, who is up for election this year.

However, many GOP legislators try to evade debate on the pocketbook damage of illegal migration and legal migration by loudly denouncing border chaos, illegal-migrant crime, and the drug-smuggling cartels. So far, the denunciations have not been combined into a useful or realistic pro-American platform for GOP legislation in 2023.

But the Gallup poll 22-point shift since January 2021 is another reminder that the public — including Latino voters — strongly opposes migration, especially labor migration.

The Gallup poll’s summary also understates public opposition by downplaying the fervor of the respondents. For example, the details of the poll showed that only 7 percent of all respondents report being “very satisfied” with Biden’s policies, while 41 percent say they are “very dissatisfied.”

The Gallup poll also shows that 34 percent of respondents were “very” or “somewhat” satisfied with immigration levels — even though very Americans actually know the real numbers. The Gallup statement did not say if the pollsters asked Americans what immigration numbers they prefer.

Other polls show that Democrats are far less likely to vote on immigration questions in the 2022 midterms. For example, just 33 percent of Democrats — down from near 50 percent in 2019 — say migration is a critical issue, according to the results released February 3 report by the Public Religion Research Institute. In contrast, 64 percent of Republicans — or two out of three — say immigration is a critical issue.

A YouGov poll also shows the shift in public opinion against migration.

Migration moves money, and since at least 1990, the federal government has tried to extract people from poor countries so they can serve U.S. investors as cheap workers, government-aided consumers, and high-density renters in the U.S. economy.

That economic strategy has no stopping point, and it is harmful to ordinary Americans because it cuts their career opportunities and their wages while it also raises 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.

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.

Unsurprisingly, a wide variety of little-publicized polls do show deep and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.

The opposition is growing, anti-establishment, multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity that Americans owe to each other.
