The homeless population in Los Angeles County grew 4.1% over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, reaching 69,144 people, according to statistics released Thursday by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). The City of Los Angeles also saw an increase, albeit a smaller one of 1.7%, bringing the total to 41,980 homeless people.

The annual homeless count had been delayed for more than a year due to the difficulties and risks of collecting data during the coronavirus pandemic.
A statement by LAHSA congratulated local authorities for policies that, it said, prevented a bigger increase in homelessness:

This year’s Homeless Count results offer a stark contrast to the results of the Homeless Counts between 2018 and 2020, where LA County saw a 25.9% increase and the City of LA experienced a 32% increase.

Over the past five years, LAHSA and its partners have made 84,000 permanent housing placements–enough to fill Dodger Stadium one and a half times. Last year alone, the rehousing system made 21,213 placements.

“While it is too soon to know what this year’s count results will mean long-term, the numbers are suggesting there is a flattening of the curve that is driven by the necessary and effective economic programs that helped keep people in their homes throughout the pandemic,” said Kristina Dixon, Acting Co-Executive Director at LAHSA.

Oddly, the LAHSA press release also credited Los Angeles area leaders with “following CDC guidance not to remove encampments, to ensure unhoused neighbors could practice social distancing and reduce the spread of COVID-19,” ignoring a very public effort by the City of Los Angeles to move the homeless indoors during the pandemic — often in violation of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. It also ignores at least one effort by local authorities to remove the homeless encampment at Echo Park in Los Angeles.

The fact that homelessness continued to rise underscores the importance of homelessness as an issue in upcoming elections. Billionaire developer Rick Caruso is facing off against frontrunner Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) in the race for L.A. mayor, and each promises to tackle the problem of homelessness, which has made parts of the city more dangerous and less livable.

Joe Biden Reopens Welcome for Welfare-Dependent Migrants

President Joe Biden’s deputies have released a regulation to accelerate the inflow and naturalization of migrants who rely on taxpayer-funded welfare and government aid.

The welcome regulation supersedes the reform established by President Donald Trump, which denied residency and green cards to migrants classified as a “public charge” because they could not earn a living in the United States.

The regulation reflects the bipartisan establishment’s eagerness to favor foreigners over Americans, and also to import more workers, consumers, and renters regardless of the economic impact on Americans’ productivity, pocketbooks, and civic stability.

“This action ensures fair and humane treatment of legal immigrants and their U.S. citizen family members,” said Alejandro Mayorkas, the pro-migration zealot who runs the department of Homeland Security for Biden. “We will not penalize individuals for choosing to access the health benefits and other supplemental government services available to them,” he added.

The welcome to poor migrants is “consistent with America’s bedrock values,” said Mayorkas, who has repeatedly described his “alignment” with migrants over Americans, regardless of the number of Americans killed by migrants and by migrant-smuggled drugs.

Under Trump’s 2020 rule, migrants were denied green cards if they needed to use welfare –“primarily dependent on the government for subsistence” — for more than 12 months during a 36-month period.

The Trump rule helped to reduce the closed-door conversion of illegal immigrants into green card holders via the so-called “Adjustment of Status” process. The rule also helped to curb the inflow of older migrants — such as the parents of new citizens — who depend on federal medical care.

But the Trump rule was quickly dropped in March 2021 when Biden’s deputies agreed to lose a “sue-and-settle” lawsuit filed by their pro-migration allies.

“The [new] rule… will help ensure that noncitizens can access health-related benefits and other supplemental government services to which they are entitled by law, without triggering harmful immigration consequences,” said a September 8 statement from the Department of Health and Human Services.

The statement continued:

DHS will not penalize individuals who choose to access the vast majority of health-related benefits and other supplemental government services available to them, including most Medicaid benefits … and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) … food and nutrition assistance such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); disaster assistance received under the Stafford Act; pandemic assistance; benefits received via a tax credit or deduction … [Also] cash-based benefits, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and other similar programs, will not automatically exclude an individual from admission or green card eligibility, and will instead be considered in a “totality of the circumstances” analysis.

Each year, the federal government admits roughly 1 million legal immigrants to compete for the jobs and homes sought by 4 million Americans who turn 18 that year.

Since January 2021, Biden has admitted roughly 3 million additional migrants — many of whom are unskilled and cannot speak English — through the southern border.

That flow of extra consumers, renters, and workers have spiked inflation and housing prices, and it has also slowed wage growth.

But the economic loss for ordinary Americans is an economic boon for employers and investors, whose stock-market wealth climbs with the inflow of extra consumers and workers.

Stacey Abrams: Illegal Migrants Should Get Cheap College Slots

Ordinary Americans must give up lower-cost university and college slots to illegal migrants, says Stacey Abrams, the much-touted Democratic candidate for the Georgia governorship.

“My first belief is that if you finish high school, you should be able to attend any college to which you are qualified to attend, no matter what your documentation says .. [because] we are growing the next generation of leaders,” Abrams told an audience Wednesday at Valdosta State University.

The civic distinction between American citizens and illegal migrants is an “artificial impediment,” said Abrams, echoing the progressive claims that Americans’ homeland is actually a “Nation of Immigrants.”

“We got to have a clear and clean process for those who are coming and those who are here,” said Abrams, who is strongly backed by Democrats nationwide.

Abrams’ pro-migrant speech was shared by the Republican National Committee:

n numerous statements and reporters, progressives applaud the federal immigration policies which ensure that ordinary Americans lose jobs, homes, and careers throughout the United States to government-favored migrants.

“No matter which country their parents came from, children of immigrants are more likely than the children of the U.S.-born to surpass their parents’ incomes when they are adults,” two pro-migration economic historians said in a June 1 article for Time.com.

The nation’s pro-migration policies provide businesses with a flood of extra workers, consumers, and renters.

But the flood of migrants disadvantages many Americans. For example, GOP and Democratic legislators are trying to help hospital chains import nurses instead of spending money to train Americans for nursing jobs.

Similarly, many migrants get affirmative action, even when they have no history of discrimination in the United States. That favoritism allows progressives in universities to offer valuable spots to non-white migrants over better-qualified, but poorer native-born Americans.

“Affirmative action increases the numbers of black and Hispanic students at many colleges and universities,” the New York Times reported in 2017, which added:

For example, the share of white freshmen at Rice University in Houston … declined to 42 percent in 2015 from 87 percent in 1980. Meanwhile, the share of Asian students rose to 30 percent in 2015 from 3 percent in 1980.

Business-backed GOP legislators in state governments often back the pro-migration policies urged by Abrams and other progressives. In January, for example, several GOP legislators in Georgia pushed a bill to allow help migrants get in-state tuition at state universities and colleges. The bills were blocked, partly because of opposition by D.A. King, founder of the Dustin Inman Society.

Abrams told her September 7 audience that “if [illegal migrants] finish high school here, [if] you live in this state, you should be able to pay in-state tuition” at universities and colleges.

Georgia is home to at least 400,000 illegal migrants and roughly 800,000 legal migrants, according to a 2020 estimate by a pro-migration group.

Companies also ship in foreign workers, often illegally, to take low-wage, shorter-term jobs that would otherwise provide family wages to Georgians. In 2020, for example, then-GOP Rep. Doug Collins stopped an illegal scheme to import Korean construction workers for a battery factory in Jackson County.

Many illegal immigrants are skilled, work hard, and likely would be favored by employers who would otherwise have to pay higher wages to Americans. “I am a welder, and I am looking for work here,” Venezuelan refugee Adrian Medina, told the New York Post in August.

The donor-backed GOP, including the RNC, tends to support the pro-migration policies, and rarely post ads that spotlight the pocketbook damage of migration to ordinary Americans.

The college displacement process backed by Abrams is far underway in the United Kingdom. On July 31, Breitbart News reported:

Although white students had been lagging behind other ethnic groups in going to institutions of higher learning across the board for years, the 2020-21 academic year was the first time in history in which the native population also fell behind minorities in entering the very top schools.

…

The report … found that just 10.5 per cent of white students entered top universities last year, compared to 10.7 per cent of black students, 13.4 per cent of mixed race students, 15.6 per cent of Asian students, and a staggering 40.7 per cent of Chinese students.

In September 2021, Breitbart News reported from London:

Since 2014, the number of white males being admitted into degree courses has fallen by ten per cent according to an analysis of UCAS figures conducted by the Mail on Sunday.

In comparison, the number of Asian males admitted to universities has risen by 26 per cent over the same time period, and 39 per cent for Asian women.

The figures further demonstrate the underlying failure of leftist concepts such as “white privilege”, which some academics have claimed serves to further disadvantage working-class whites, with boys suffering the most.

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 jobs needed by young U.S. graduates.

This “Third Rail” opposition is growing, anti-establishment, multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity that American citizens owe to one another.

 

NEARLY HALF OF ALL 'CHEAP' LABOR FARM WORKERS END UP ON WELFARE IN MEXIFORNIA!

He continued, saying “In that time, the Biden administration has blamed an unprecedented surge of illegal immigration on all sorts of external factors, except their own sabotage of our nation’s immigration laws.” SPENCER LINDQUIST

Dems give illegals welfare, taxpayer-funded health  care, in-state tuition and protect them from deportation  through sanctuary laws. In return, the illegals vote for  Dem and the ballot measures the want. The illegals  function as the Dem imported electoral college, canceling the vote of legitimate citizens and legal immigrants,  blocking reform and keeping Dems in power. Maybe that  is what Michael Bloomberg had in mind when he called  California “a great example for the rest of this country.”

LLOYD BILLINGSLEY

It is the single most dangerous piece of legislation before Congress. What I call H.R.1 is the ‘Corrupt Politicians Act.’ […] It’s the number one bill. It’s not about COVID; it’s not about vaccinations; it’s not about getting people back to work; it’s not about getting kids back to school. It is about ensuring that Democrats remain in power and control for the next 100 years. It is a radical bill. What does it do? It federalizes all elections. It strikes down every election reform protection at the state level. So photo ID laws — right now in a lot of states you’ve got to use photo ID to vote — ‘The Corrupt Politician Act’ strikes that down. It sets up automatic voter registration, which would result in millions of illegal immigrants, and criminals, and felons being able to vote. The Democrats believe if illegal immigrants and felons are voting, that benefits the Democrats and keeps them in power. Not only that, it mandates universal mail-in balloting, it mandates ballot harvesting. This is all designed to facilitate fraud. SEAN MORAN

Newsom Opposes Vote-by-Mail for Farm Workers; ‘Privately Seething’ over Biden Support

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is again under fire from members of his own party, this time President Joe Biden, over his hesitancy to sign a bill that would encourage California farmworkers to unionize.

California Assembly Bill 2183 would make it easier for farmworkers to unionize and allow them to vote by mail in union elections. Biden is just the latest Democrat politician putting pressure on Newsom to sign the bill.

Biden said he “strongly” supports the farmworker bill in a brief statement issued just before Labor Day.

“In the state with the largest population of farmworkers, the least we owe them is an easier path to make a free and fair choice to organize a union,” Biden said.

“Government should work to remove – not erect – barriers to workers organizing,” the president added.

However, Newsom vetoed a similar bill last year, and farmworker activists fear AB 2183 will suffer the same fate after Newsom sent the bill back to the California legislature less than two weeks ago.

Newsom’s office is on record saying they “cannot support an untested mail-in election process that lacks critical provisions to protect the integrity of the election, and is predicated on an assumption that government cannot effectively enforce laws.”

The California legislature sent a revised version of the bill to Newsom’s desk for his signature, but it is uncertain whether he will veto it.

Newsom is “privately seething” over Biden’s endorsement of the bill, multiple people with knowledge of Newsom’s thinking told Politico.

Biden’s endorsement of AB 2183 came after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) publicly urged Newsom to sign the bill.

“CA farmworkers provide for our families — but far too many can’t provide for theirs because they are exploited and don’t have a voice on the job,” Pelosi tweeted. “We can mend this injustice by expanding workers’ rights. I urge the governor to sign #AB2183 for the farmworkers and For The Children.”

Vice President Kamala Harris added pressure on Newsom, saying it is “long past due” for California to enact this legislation.

Of California’s 800,000 farmworkers, less than one percent are unionized, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Further, more than 70 percent of California’s farmworkers are undocumented immigrants.

Although large unions like the United Farm Workers want Newsom to sign the legislation, farmers and business groups, including the California Chamber of Commerce, are opposed to the bill.

“It essentially amounts to a forced union submission, because even the mail-in voting provision allows the labor organization representative to fill out the ballot,” Western Growers vice president of state government affairs Matthew Allen told Politico. “It’s really quite simple what the bill is doing. It’s eliminating a farmworker’s right to the secret-ballot election.”

Labor Sec’y Walsh: Worker Shortage Due to Lack of Immigration Reform a ‘Bigger Threat’ in Some Cases Than Inflation or Recession

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Labor Secretary Marty Walsh argued that “we’re going to have to have a real serious conversation in this country about immigration and immigration reform” in order to address the shortage of workers which is, in some cases, “a bigger threat to our economy than inflation is at this point, than a recession.”

Walsh stated, “Well, the first thing is we don’t have enough workers in the United States of America to fill all of the job openings that are out there. Right now, at this moment in time, more Americans are working in this country than in any other period in the history of America. So, when you think about the amount of jobs and people that are working, it’s a really incredible number. The problem is that we don’t have enough people. There [are] about five million people, I think, still, roughly…that are either looking for work or just not in the workforce, for a whole host of reasons, illnesses, child care, whatever it might be. So, at some point, we’re going to have to have a real serious conversation in this country about immigration and immigration reform. And when I talk to big business in America and I talk to businesses, every single one of them, to a person, says to me, we need to — we’re going to have to think about this long-term and how do we deal with these issue[s].”

He added, “I think, in this country, when you think about our economy, you think about our country, there [are] two sides in immigration. We don’t want immigration — or we’d like to see legal immigration. The problem is, in America, if we don’t have workers to fill these jobs, it’s going to hurt our economy overall. And if you have six million jobs, let’s just play with that number right now, let’s assume six million jobs that, if everyone went to work in America tomorrow that was eligible — or not even eligible, but they went to work, we have six million job openings. As you just said, it’s going to hurt business in our country, it’s going to hurt our economy, and in some cases, I think it’s a bigger threat to our economy than inflation is at this point, than a recession.”

Democrat Gov. Pritzker Promises ‘Emergency Housing’ for Migrants as Rents Skyrocket for Chicagoans

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) is promising “emergency housing” for migrants bused from Texas even as rents in Chicago have skyrocketed for residents.

Last week, Texas governor Greg Abbott (R) started busing border crossers to the sanctuary city of Chicago after sending thousands over the last few months to the sanctuary cities of Washington, DC and New York City.

In response, Pritzker is promising migrants “emergency housing” as well as “health care screenings, the offer of COVID-19 vaccines and … additional legal resettlement assistance.”

Meanwhile, as Breitbart News has reported, Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot has called Abbott’s sending of the migrant buses “racist and xenophobic” along with “immoral” and “unpatriotic.”

Pritzker’s pledge of emergency housing for migrants comes as Chicagoans face sky-high rents and housing costs. The most recent analysis shows that Chicagoans are paying about 20 percent more on rent this year compared to last year.

Today, the average rent in Chicago is more than $2,900, which is nearly 20 percent higher than the cost of rent at the same time last year. Rents in Chicago have increased so much that tenants are forming unions to fight their landlords and the city.

Real estate investors are some of the biggest beneficiaries of mass immigration to the United States. Immigration-driven population growth, set to bring the United States population to more than 400 million by 2060, is likely to send housing prices even higher.

A 2017 study published in the Journal of Housing Economics found that “increases in immigration into a metropolitan statistical area are linked with rising rents and home prices in that metropolitan statistical area and neighboring metropolitan statistical areas.”

As legal immigration brings over a million legal immigrants to the United States annually, as well as more than a million more on temporary work visas, President Joe Biden’s administration has also implemented an expansive Catch and Release network where every month thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens are sent all over the nation to await court hearings.

In the meantime, those new arrivals need housing.

While it is unclear exactly where border crossers and illegal aliens are resettling, the administration’s Alternative to Detention (ATD) program gives insight into the level of mass immigration into each city coinciding with record-high housing costs.

In August, the Biden administration had more than 13,000 border crossers and illegal aliens in Chicago on the ATD program. In November 2020 fewer than 6,600 border crossers and illegal aliens had been sent to Chicago on the ATD program.
