AMERICA: NO LEGAL NEED APPLY!!! - JOE BIDEN'S OPEN BORDERS - Senator Angus King Suggests Importing More Foreign Workers to Fill U.S. Jobs

  WHATEVER HAPPENED TO AMERICA? JOE BIDEN!


THERE IS A REASON WHY ALL BILLIONAIRES ARE DEMS FOR OPEN BORDERS. 

THE ENTIRE REASON BORDERS ARE WIDE OPEN IS TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED. THIS VIDEO SHOWS US WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND IT'S MESSY!


20 Signs Our Society Is Rapidly Deteriorating All Around Us




Everything seems to be falling off the tracks lately. The housing market is melting down, but home prices continue to skyrocket. Financial markets are in panic mode. Businesses are shuttering a large number of stores, cutting jobs, and struggling to stay afloat, while the average American is seeing the cost of living rise past their purchasing power, at the same time living conditions continue to worsen for many of us. This is one of the craziest economies of all times, and our entire population is paying a hefty price. How can our society evolve if more than half of its citizens can’t afford somewhere to live? The December Housing Affordability Survey found that 55% of Americans can’t afford to buy a home at current prices and interest rates. Meanwhile, 62% percent of renters are concerned about their ability to pay rent. In fact, a separate survey conducted by rewards app PiƱata, a program that works with renters to build their credit and get cash back for paying their rent, found that 30% of US renters have taken out a loan to help pay rent in the past twelve months, and right now, around 15% of them, or about 8 million people, are late on rent as prices continue to soar. This means that many families are at risk of losing their homes as we enter 2023, and unfortunately, the official forecast is that housing will continue to be expensive throughout the entire year. At the same time, almost 133 million workers make less than $15 an hour, according to a study by Oxfam America, an anti-poverty advocacy group.“It’s shameful that at a time when many US companies are boasting record profits, some of the hardest working people in this country – especially people who keep our economy and society functioning – are struggling to get by and falling behind,” said Kaitlyn Henderson, the study’s author, and senior research adviser at Oxfam America. It’s been almost a decade that wages fail to keep up with the rate of inflation, and as interest rates continue to soar, we will see our purchasing power getting increasingly lower. No wonder why the latest Gallup poll showed that the vast majority of Americans predict 2023 will bring more economic difficulties such as higher taxes and rampant inflation. Eight in 10 respondents believe taxes will increase along with the federal deficit, while two-thirds of those polled believe prices will rise and the stock market will continue to tumble. Pessimism also extends to politics and world affairs with 90 percent of respondents anticipating domestic political conflict and 85 percent foreseeing a "troubled year with much international discord."Slightly more than half of the respondents expect higher unemployment as well," states the American consulting company.  In essence, we all can feel that something is really wrong with our country. It definitely doesn't feel like we’re in the right direction. Things are taking a turn for the worst in our society, and the implosion of our economy will only make conditions more difficult for all of us. We are literally careening toward disaster, and it seems like no one is going to come for the rescue. Today, we decided to compile several indicators that show why the fabric of our society is being ripped apart before our eyes, and also why so many absurdities are happening right now.

Senator Angus King Suggests Importing More Foreign Workers to Fill U.S. Jobs

Sen. Angus King (I-ME) says Congress ought to pass a legislative package that expands legal immigration levels to fill unfilled United States jobs with foreign workers rather than pulling jobless Americans off the labor market sidelines.

In an interview with CBS News, King said such a package should include border-related reforms, an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, and an expansion of the nation’s legal immigration levels. which already bring more than a million green card holders to the U.S. annually in addition to more than a million foreign visa workers to take American jobs.

“To me, there’s an obvious deal on immigration, which is heightened border security, which is very complicated,” King said:

And I want to talk to the congresswoman that you just had on talking about what the ideas that she has, Republicans along the border, the Republican Congressman Gonzalez, I want to learn and there are a lot of people working on how do we figure out the border. But the deal is increased border security, a path to citizenship for Dreamers and workforce. [Emphasis added]

I’m hearing from businesses in Maine all the time about a shortage of workers. It’s one of our biggest economic problems after inflation. So we’ve got to work on legal immigration for workforce. So I think, as I say, there’s a package. And border security is where it starts. And I believe I’m delighted the administration’s president’s gone down there today. They should have gone sooner, in my view. But let’s let’s work on this because we can’t have the chaos and the humanitarian crisis that we have. Let’s find that. But then put together a package involving Dreamers and involving workforce. That’s where I think we can move. And we ought to be able to move in in a bipartisan way.
[Emphasis added]

King’s comments come as Maine, and many other states, is suffering from record low labor force participation, with just 58 percent of the state’s working-age population holding a job in November 2022. In all but one of Maine’s counties, the number of residents employed declined compared to the same time last year, suggesting many are dropping out of the workforce.

Maine, in November 2022, had an unemployment rate of 3.7 percent, as more than 23,000 residents wanted full-time work but were jobless nonetheless.

An analysis last year, conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), showed the widespread issue of the nation’s declining labor force participation rate as politicians focus on importing foreign workers instead of those Americans leaving the workforce.

“There are approximately 11.5 million job openings in the United States right now, and 14.73 million employable Americans,” FAIR researchers noted in July 2022. “This means that there are 3.23 million more workers in the country than open jobs.”

Meanwhile, more recently published research shows that some 100 million Americans are not in the labor force today, but could be. In particular, the issue is deepening for American men from 25 to 54 as U.S. wages remain stagnant and, in many sectors, actually decline.

While working and middle class Americans are already forced to compete for jobs against the largest foreign-born population in American history, likely tens of thousands of border crossers are being added to the U.S. labor market every month after they are rewarded with work permits and released into American communities from the southern border.

JOE BIDEN: LYING SOCIOPATH GAMER LAWYER


If we had any actual journalists in America today, they’d be pressing Old Joe to apologize to the countries from which the migrants are coming, and above all to the American people for lying to them so repeatedly and brazenly, not just about the reasons for the migrant influx, but about virtually everything else as well.


Biden Likens Migrants At Southern Border to Jews Fleeing National Socialism

Does this man have any residual conscience left?

Old Joe Biden’s handlers have effectively erased the Southern border of the United States. Want to enter what once was known as the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave? Come on in! Whoever is running the United States at this point has clearly decided to flood the country with migrants, whether in order to secure a long-term voter base for the Democrat Party, or to destroy the world’s foremost nation-state in pursuit of socialist internationalist goals, or for some other reason, but one thing is certain: the political and media elites aren’t willing to tell us what they’re really up to. They are instead offering excuses for the migrant influx, each more implausible than the last. On Thursday, Old Joe gave us the most offensive and unbelievable explanation yet.

Asked whether he thought migrating to the United States was a human right, Biden said: “Well, I think it is a human right to–, if you have your, if your, your family is being persecuted, if your bein’ dealt with in a way, I mean, like, it was, I thought it was a human right for, you know, uh, uh, Jews in Germany to be able to go, to get to escape and get help where they could.”

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), CBP officers had 2,766,582 “encounters” with migrants at the borders during fiscal year 2022, up significantly from 1,956,519 in fiscal year 2021 and 646,822 in fiscal year 2020. In October and November of 2022, there were 561,291. If migrants keep streaming into the U.S. at that rate, there will be well over three million “encounters” in this fiscal year. It would be interesting to know how many of those people Old Joe thinks are comparable to Jews fleeing the National Socialists in Germany. Some of them? All of them?

Whatever the answer, the comparison is as preposterous as it is appalling. As bad as conditions may be in Central America or in socialist Venezuela and socializing Brazil, genocide is not taking place. And the people coming to the border aren’t Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud, Rep. Andy Biggs correctly noted: “Biden just compared illegal aliens—lawbreakers who have been found to be terrorists, drug dealers, and bad actors—to Jews fleeing Germany during the Holocaust. Not even remotely the same situation. This kind of mindset prevents us from legitimately securing our border.”

Trump adviser Stephen Miller pointed out that in making this comparison, Old Joe was also implying that Latin America was like National Socialist Germany: “Comparing Haitians leaving Haiti or Nicaraguans leaving Nicaragua to Jews fleeing violent extermination from Nazi Germany is both an outrageous minimization of the Holocaust and a vile slander of Latin American nations. Biden will say or do anything to expand illegal immigration.”

Biden never addressed that point, but he did try to give the impression that he had a scintilla of concern for the American people as he added: “Um, but the other side of this is, there’s also, the people in this country have basic rights, that are here. Basic fundamental rights. To assure the people that are coming have been checked out, they’re not criminals, they’re not problem, they’re, you know, that their background checks are real.”

Background checks? Does he seriously want us to believe that background checks are being performed on this huge mass of people streaming across what was once known as the Southern border, or that such checks would even be possible? Given the brisk business in fake ID’s within the United States, can anyone reasonably assume that such business isn’t going on among people trying to enter the U.S. as well?

If we had any actual journalists in America today, they’d be pressing Old Joe to apologize to the countries from which the migrants are coming, and above all to the American people for lying to them so repeatedly and brazenly, not just about the reasons for the migrant influx, but about virtually everything else as well. But when a hard-Left Democrat is in the White House, journalism becomes a thing of the past and the allegedly independent press becomes a Goebbelsian propaganda ministry. Thus no notice will be taken of Biden’s latest egregious remark, and he will just go on to feed us more offensive nonsense in the near future. Count on it.

White House: Americans Are Obliged to Aid More Migrants

Americans are obliged to help bring more foreigners into their American society, White House spokesman John Kirby told reporters in a briefing ahead of President Joe Biden’s meeting with Mexico’s president on Monday and Tuesday.

“You can’t forget that …  we do, as a nation of immigrants, have an obligation to provide better tools and pathways for them to come in,” Kirby told reporters in the White House.

The “Nation of Immigrants” narrative was invented in the 1950s by advocates for more migration. Biden and his deputies are pushing that claim to justify their importation of more illegal migrants above the limits set by Congress.

Kirby also said Biden is trying to “balance” the additional immigrant inflow with actions that merely “curb” — but not stop — the illegal migration that is strongly opposed by most Americans:

This is a President who understands that safe and legal immigration into this country is a key cornerstone of our own security and prosperity, and that he is advancing ways to improve those legal pathways to entry … and that the illegal migration is curbed as best as we can.

Kirby’s title is  National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the White House.

The administration’s goal is to increase immigration, but only to ‘limit” — not stop — illegal migration, according to a Sunday tweet from Biden’s account also

My Administration is using the tools available to limit illegal migration, expand legal pathways to immigration, and increase security. The approach we’re taking is based on a model we know works. But to truly fix our broken immigration system, Congress needs to act.

In 2022, Buden allowed at least 3.3 million legal, illegal, and quasi-legal migrants into the jobs, schools, careers, and housing that are needed by the 60 million adults and parents who earn less than $1,000 a week. The inflow is so huge that it added roughly one migrant for every American birth during the year.

Only about one in six Americans strongly support immigration, while roughly one-third say that immigration leaves Americans “worse off.”

Unsurprisingly, recent polls show 80 percent of Americans want Biden to preserve the little-used Title 42 border barrier, which Biden is seeking to end.

This opposition to economic migration is growing, even though most Americans severely underestimate the scale of migration, and nearly all Republicans hide the pocketbook cost of labor migration. Those pocketbook costs include lower wages and higher housing costs.

Some Republicans are speaking against the “Nation of Immigrants” narrative, and against the much-touted claim that immigration helps ordinary Americans.

“So the issue is, how does immigration serve the people of the United States and the national interest?” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in September 2022:

We’ve had periods where we had high immigration levels that we have had success, we’ve also had periods where we have great success with immigration levels being very low, such as … [in] the decades after World War Two … We’re not globalists who believe that foreigners have a right to come into our country whenever they want to.

DeSantis’s Attorney General, Ashley Moody, is directed a lawsuit that says Biden is breaking the law by releasing many economic migrants into the U.S. economy. In a September court filing, she argued:

This Court, therefore, should vacate [stop] the following policies: (1) the government’s policy of releasing aliens subject to mandatory detention … whether based on an untenable assertion of enforcement discretion to ignore § 1225 or an abuse of the parole authority under § 1182, and (2) [stop] the Parole + ATD policy, which also misuses the parole authority under § 1182.

Moody’s case will be heard by a judge as Biden meets with the leaders of Mexico and Canada in Mexico City on January 9.

The Supreme Court is also considering a lawsuit that argues the Biden administration is breaking a law that says officials “shall detain” migrants who ask for asylum.

Kirby’s colleague, Haitian-born White House spokeswoman Karine Jeane-Pierre, also listed some of the new tactics that Biden has used to import more job-seeking migrants than the level of 1 million per year set by Congress:

And just want to list out a couple of things what this administration has done.  It’s increased work visas, including H-2A and H-2B visas, for Central America and Haiti.  It restarted the Central American Minors Program.  It expanded parolee programs for [360,000 people per year from] Venezuelan, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Haiti, as we’ve been talking about these past few minutes.  It expanded refugee admissions in the Western Hemisphere.  Significantly expanded TPS for Venezuela, Haiti, Nicaragua, and many more.  And created renewed unification parolee programs for families from Haiti and Cuba.

These are the things that the President is trying to do to make sure we are doing this in a humane way.

The New York Times described some of the released economic migrants in a January 8 article:

About eight years after leaving his native Venezuela and moving to Colombia, then Mexico, Ismael Guevara, 48, feels like he’s finally in the place where he’s going to stay. And he’s only been in the city a little over two months …. 

Just over a month ago, Mr. Guevara landed a job at a hair salon. He had once been an award-winning stylist for high-end salons, and was eager to get back to pursuing his passion.

Nationwide, American hairdressers earn an average of $29,680 per year, according to a 2021 report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

That low wage is far below the mid-point wage of $59,000 — and it makes many hairdressers dependent on economic aid from taxpayers, such as Obamacare and housing subsidies.

New York’s mayor is asking for $1 billion in federal funds to cover the cost of aiding poor migrants as they accept jobs at low wages from employers who would to pay decent wages to Americans.

The federal government has long used the “Nation of Immigrants” narrative to hide its economic policy of “Extraction Migration,” The strategy pulls human resources from poor countries. It uses those imported people as workers, renters, and consumers to grow investors’ revenues and profits.

The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and boosted rents and housing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors, and reduced native-born Americans’ clout in local and national elections.

Many polls show the public wants to welcome some immigration — but they also show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.

This “Third Rail” opposition is growinganti-establishmentmultiracialcross-sexnon-racistclass-based,  bipartisanrationalpersistent, and recognizes the solidarity that American citizens owe to one another.
