AS JOE BIDEN FLOODS AMERICA WITH MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED - Scientific American Essay Applauds Population Decline as ‘Good News’

During a Senate committee hearing this week, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) estimated that the Biden administration has welcomed close to five million border crossers and illegal aliens to the United States since taking office in early 2021. This figure includes those released into the U.S. interior, known got-aways, and unknown got-aways.

WE CAN LET THE NA.F.T.A. DEMOCRATS AND MEXICO DESTROY AMERICA OR WE CAN DRIVE THEM BOTH OUT OF OUR OPEN BORDERS!!!

"Many Americans forget is that our country is located against a


socialist failed state that is promising to descend even further


into chaos – not California, the other one. And the Mexicans,


having reached the bottom of the hole they have dug for


themselves, just chose to keep digging by electing a new leftist


presidente who wants to surrender to the cartels and who


thinks that Mexicans have some sort of “human right” to sneak


into the U.S. and demographically reconquer it."

Mexico’s president slammed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday just hours before a phone meeting with President Joe Biden scheduled for Tuesday.

The criticism came because DeSantis prodded the state legislature to adopt migration reforms, including laws that curb the inflow of illegal workers into blue-collar jobs that can be done by Americans — including by Latino Americans.

“Now I found out that the Florida governor — imagine, Florida, which is full of migrants! — is taking repressive, inhumane measures against migrants in Florida because he wants to be a [presidential] candidate,” said Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO). He added:

Why does [DeSantis] have to take advantage of people’s pain, of migrants’ pain, of people’s need for political gain?  … This is immoral — this is politicking.

The complaints were spotlighted by Politico.

In contrast, Obrador praised his dealmaking with Biden as he revealed that he would talk Tuesday morning with Biden.

“We will continue talking about the cooperation we have, which is very, very good and which we will maintain,” he said, according to a report by TheHill.com.

Obrador and Biden have announced deals to stabilize — but not stop or reduce — the huge flow of wage-cutting economic migrants through Mexico into U.S. jobs and housing.

In Florida, DeSantis’ new reforms include penalties for transporting illegal migrants into the state, as well as a law requiring more companies to use E-Verify. The E-Verify system allows employers to easily confirm that job seekers are not illegals.

The E-Verify rule is opposed by many business groups who prefer to hire cheap, diligent, and compliant illegals. Much of the illegal hiring is done via subcontractors that protect the major U.S. companies from penalties.

On May 7, the scale of the corruption problem was exposed when illegals — and likely, some sympathetic legal workers — walked off a construction site in Florida:

The post-1990 inflow of illegal migrants in middle-class U.S. construction jobs slashed Americans’ wages, pushed huge numbers of Americans out of good jobs, and deterred many younger Americans from entering the unstable sector.

In 2018, an inspector for California agencies explained how Americans were pushed out of the blue-collar construction sector:

In the 80’s and early 90’s when I was a contractor, it wasn’t unusual to see undocumented workers doing landscaping, demolition, then it became roofing, and concrete work. So the heavier, more difficult, and dirtier sort of trades where you actually got in the ditches were the first trades to be taken over [by illegal aliens]. Then the rest of them began to fall. The drywall was next, painting, framing was the last, and now electrical and plumbing has been taken over. All the trades finally went to the illegal immigrants.

Decades later, millions of Americans remained mired in poverty and drugs.

A 2020 report funded by a pro-migration group reported E-Verify would help narrow the income gap between the least-educated and better-educated American workers, said a report funded by a pro-migration business group.

Mexico’s president is a Latino ethnic nationalist who wants to help more Latinos from Central America migrate to his northern neighbor, the United States.

Biden has welcomed that goal. “Look, all of you know all of us in the United States are immigrants,” Biden said. “Mine go all the way back to the Irish famine,” Biden told a January 10 press conference with AMLO and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Biden added:

At the top of our shared agenda today is keeping North America the most competitive, prosperous, and resilient economic region of the world …  [and creating] pathways for immigrants from Nicaragua, Cuba, and Haiti that were seeking a better life here in the United States of America.

AMLO also asked Biden to amnesty Mexican illegal migrants:

I fully trust President Biden … I’ve asked President Biden to insist before the U.S. Congress to regularize the migration situations of millions of Mexicans who have been in the States working, living in the United States, and contributing to the development of that great nation, which is the United States of America.

“Just imagine: There are 40 million Mexicans in the United States — 40 million [including people] who were born here in Mexico, [or] who are the children of people who were born in Mexico,” he gushed.

But AMLO also used the press conference to celebrate economic growth for Mexicans:

The [Mexican government] budget is used for development and supporting the poorest sectors of our [Mexican] population. Today, we not only have jobs, employment, we have seen reductions in violence. We have less [em]migration as well … what we can see is this flame — this flame which is alive. I’m talking about the flame of hope.

On May 8, as he criticized DeSantis, AMLO also lashed at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who pressure Mexican policy to curb migration. Abbott’s power comes from his ability to slow up cross-border trade by stringently enforcing state safety rules.

White House Deal with Mexico: More Migrants, Less Video

A White House official has signed a border management deal with Mexico to minimize the visibility of accelerating mass illegal migration once officials lift the Title 42 barrier that now protects Americans.

The deal is not intended to block labor migration into Americans’ workplaces and neighborhoods, said Rosemary Jenks, the director of Government Relations for NumbersUSA: “It’s all designed to mask what is the intended goal of the Biden administration — which is to bring in as many people as possible.”

The administration’s same-day announcement that it sending 1,500 troops to the border “is all part of that distraction,” she added. The troops will be “pushing paper and stocking warehouses” to help Biden’s border agents and its progressive non-profit register more migrants for flights and bus trips to Americans’ cities and towns.

The deal with Mexico cooperation helps Biden’s deputies quietly funnel the chaotic and growing flood of illegal, job-seeking migrants through hidden side doors in the border, she said:

You no longer have videos of hundreds of people streaming across the Rio Grande [because] people are being flown in on taxpayer dollars, [and] poor people are coming through the ports of entry — again, with no legal right to be there — so that it doesn’t look like chaos …. [But] the end result is exactly the same: A massive number of people with no right to be here coming into the United States, using taxpayer dollars, taking taxpayer-funded services, competing for housing, competing for jobs, all of the rest of it.

Officials are already inviting up to 30,000 migrants per month to fly from four countries into airports around the United States. They are also helping to bus roughly 25,000 migrants from shelters in Mexico to border sites for quiet catch-and-release processing.

“It is stunning, the lawlessness of this administration,” she added. “They just create these programs out of whole cloth … — these people are making their own laws and nobody’s stopping them.”

The Biden policies are facing legal review in a federal court in Texas, and the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision by June.

Understandably, Mexico is using its power over the border flow to extract rewards from the U.S. government, she said.

 

“Mexico has power over the United States,” said Jenks. “Mexico is letting all of these people in through its borders, and it’s doing that very intentionally [because it has the power to] stop it, or … increase the flow.”

For example, Mexico steered up to 30,000 Haitian migrants to the Del Rio crossing in Texas in September 2021. The event was a shock to the Biden administration because the migrant flood was broadcast on the evening TV news to the many Americans who do not monitor political news.

“Mexico has no reason to agree to this [deal] if they’re not getting something of equal value or more value in exchange –I just don’t know what that is,” Jenks said.

The deal “consolidates Mexico’s role as the lynchpin in the US’ migration containment strategy,” said Mexican journalist, José Díaz Briseño.

The strategy is sometimes called. “border externalization,” because it allows White House officials — and their business allies — to quietly sign deals with foreign countries instead of openly negotiating with a divided Congress and hostile voters.

Mexico’s president, Lopez Obrador, is using his power over the U.S. border to minimize U.S. protests while he expands authoritarian rule in Mexico, said a tweet by author David Frum.

Obarado has long sought to swap border cooperation in exchange for more Mexicans and Latinos getting U.S. jobs that otherwise would go to Americans.

The White House’s official statement revealed little about the deal.

For example, it said, “Mexico will continue to accept back migrants on humanitarian grounds” without revealing the monthly cap on return. The current cap is just 30,000, which is far below the monthly arrival of more than 180,000 in April.

The statement does not discuss curbs on the flow of drugs into the United States, which now kill roughly 100,000 Americans each year.

The statement does not talk about the rising flood of global migrants from Chile, Colombia, India, China, Brazil, Cameroon, Nepal, Russia, and more than 150 other countries. Under Biden’s policies, very few migrants from those countries are being sent home. This passive policy ensures that successful migrants will summon many more migrants from their home countries.

Biden’s deputies want to import more foreigners for the jobs and homes that would otherwise go to Americans. For example, the pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, said on April 21:

Our model is as follows: Build lawful pathways, cut out the smugglers who exploit these vulnerable individuals. Build lawful pathways, give individuals an opportunity to reach the United States safely in an orderly way to avail themselves of the humanitarian relief our laws provide.

The White House statement did say that U.S. officials also plan to import another 100,000 poor migrants from Central America. The lucky migrants are the left-behind children of migrants who illegally sneaked into the U.S. economy.

The new pipeline comes after officials announced they would open two pipelines from Colombia and Panama, even as they expand many other inflows of migrants and visa workers.

“Everything that the Biden administration does has the effect of bringing more people into the United States who should not be here and do not have a right to be here,” said Jenks

In 1990, Congress set current immigration levels at about one million per year, alongside a flow of temporary workers for favored interest groups, including farmers, resort operators, and Fortune 500 companies. Those high caps provide roughly one immigrant for every four U.S. births but helped limit the migration-imposed damage to Americans’ national labor and housing markets.

Biden’s cooperation with other countries, and the establishment media, helped minimize the public recognition and response to Biden’s population policy. “They got away with [an inflow of] 4.5, to 6 million people over the last two years,” she said.

Despite the massive inflow, Biden’s deputies and their allies are portraying his border policies as a return to the l0w migraiton rules set by President Donald Trump and his deputies.

 

Extraction Migration

The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of Extraction Migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy.

The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also 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 contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.

The lethal policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.

The population inflow also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans, because the population replacement allows elites to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of ordinary Americans.

 

In many speeches, Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elite opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.

Migration — and especially, labor migration — is unpopular among swing voters. A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to an August 2022 poll commissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR). The 54 percent “Invasion” majority included 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats.

 

THE NEXT MEXICAN INVASION IS AT HAND:

"Mexican president candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for mass immigration to the United States, declaring it a "human right". We will defend all the (Mexican) invaders in the American," Obrador said, adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life, job, welfare, and free medical in the United States."

Scientific American Essay Applauds Population Decline as ‘Good News’

A world with fewer people means a changed climate and better outcomes for the remaining population – human and otherwise – of the planet, an essay in Scientific American magazine claims.

The opinion piece, authored by Stephanie Feldstein, points to the U.N. predicting dozens of countries will have shrinking populations by 2050 as “good news.”

Less people require less feeding and less energy, the piece maintains, further declaring “we should all be celebrating population decline.”

The premise is further enhanced by the claim the planet is suffering from overpopulation that diminishes wildlife habitats and ecosystems as human impact has a deleterious effect on everything around it. The essay states:

The loss of biodiversity is tragic in itself. A world without elephants, hellbender salamanders and the million other species at risk of extinction in the coming decades would be deeply impoverished. Wild plants and animals enrich our lives and hold vital ecosystems together. The fresh water we need to survive, the plants we rely on for food and medicine, and the forests we depend on for clean air and carbon sequestration are all the product of complex interactions between life-forms ranging from microbes and pollinators to carnivores and scavengers.

When even a single thread is pulled from that tapestry, the entire system can unravel.

Ultimately the opinion piece, written by the “population and sustainability director at the Center for Biological Diversity, ” states, “Population decline is only a threat to an economy based on growth. Shifting to a model based on degrowth and equity alongside lower fertility rates will help fight climate change and increase wealth and well-being.”

Humans therefore must choose between population growth and the survival of the planet, the essay posits, repeating previous claims that “declining populations and ageing demographics” help  governments meet climate change goals:

“We also need to bring together the reproductive rights and gender equity movements, and the environmental movement. Environmental toxicity, reproductive health and wildlife protection are deeply intertwined. Pollution, climate change and degraded ecosystems harm pregnant people, fetuses and children, and make it difficult to raise safe and healthy families,” the essay further states.

The author points to recent globalist forecasts for the planet and climate as a further driver for limiting human population growth.

[…] we need what the United Nations’ most recent climate and biodiversity reports drive home, and conservationists, climate scientists and policy makers have demanded for decades: a rapid, just transition to renewable energy and sustainable food systems and a global commitment to halting human-caused extinctions now.

Population stabilization and decline will inevitably be achieved by centering human rights. Policy makers must guarantee bodily autonomy and access to reproductive health care, gender equity, and women and girls’ education.

Ultimately the essay delivers a plea to address “the crises in front of us” with everyone deciding “if and when to have children, and planning for population decline, we can choose a future of sustainable abundance.”

The essay is the second time in less than 12 months globalist urging for a decline in the human population has been heard.

As Breitbart News reported, Yuval Noah Harari, historian, futurist, and World Economic Forum (WEF) adviser, said last August, “We just don’t need the vast majority of the population” in the early 21st century given modern technologies’ rendering human labor economically and militarily “redundant.”

He assessed widespread contemporary disillusionment among “common people” as being rooted in a fear of being “left behind” in a future run by “smart people.”

Such fears are justified, he added, given his projection that emerging technologies will displace economic needs to many categories of existing work. With the triumph of those machines, the need for humans and their labor diminishes.


Biden’s Border Chief Says He Can’t Explain Border Rush


Migrant Surge Grows to 11K Apprehensions/Got-Aways Per Day for Last 3 Days, Says Border Chief

U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz tweeted on Monday that 26,382 migrants crossed the border between ports of entry during the past three days. An additional 7,399 crossed and managed to avoid apprehension.

Chief Ortiz’s tweet reports that approximately 11,260 migrants are known to have crossed the border per day during the past 72 hours. Of those, agents took 26,382 into custody (8,794 per day) while another 7,399 (2,466 per day) are classified as known got-aways.

Over the weekend, the chief tweeted a seven-day report showing the apprehension of 54,951 migrants (7,850 per day) and 18,698 got-aways (2,671 per day). This averages just over 10,521 known border crossers per day.

On May 1, just one week ago, Ortiz tweeted that agents apprehended 22,220 migrants during the previous 72 hours. This equates to 3,174 apprehensions per day. He did not show the number of got-aways in this report.

During the past ten days, the number of migrant apprehensions per day increased by nearly 177 percent from  3,174 per day to 8,794 per day.

These numbers do not include migrants who crossed but who were not detected or apprehended by Border Patrol.

The number of migrant crossings per day continues to rise as the end of Title 42 nears. In response to the surge, Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered the deployment of a 545-soldier Tactical Border Force to supplement the approximately 10,000 Texas Nation Guard soldiers and airmen already deployed under Operation Lone Star, Breitbart Texas reported.

“Biden sent 1,500 troops to the border to do paperwork,” the governor tweeted. “I deployed elite trained soldiers to defend Texas.”

Joe Biden Threatens to Veto Republican Border Reform

President Joe Biden will veto the Republicans’ flagship border reform bill because it reduces the federal government’s ability to extract economic migrants from poor countries, according to a White House statement.

The pending GOP border-protection bill is a “huge deal,” said Rosemary Jenks, a government relations director at NumbersUSA. “This is a [GOP] blueprint for 2025” if a Republican is elected to the White House, she added.

The White House’s May 8 veto threat said:

The bill would cut off nearly all access [for migrants] to humanitarian protections in ways that are inconsistent with our Nation’s values and international obligations. In addition, the bill would make processing less efficient by prohibiting the use of the CBP One mobile application to process noncitizens and restricting [the Department of Homeland Security] DHS’s parole authority, such that successful programs, like “Uniting for Ukraine,” would be prohibited. The bill would also reduce authorized funding for essential programs including the Shelter and Services Program that provides a critical source of [migrant support] funds for state and local governments and reduces pressure at the border [by quickly moving migrants northwards].

The “Nation’s values” statement refers to the invented Cold War narrative that Americans’ homeland is really a “Nation of Immigrants.”

The White House’s statement comes as the administration is opening the southern border to a huge flood of job-seeking migrants. The Biden administration is also welcoming a new wave of 100,000 H-1B visa workers and 450,000 OPT workers via the fraud-ridden programs — despite mass layoffs of Americans by Fortune 500 companies.

The Republicans’ border bill faces a floor vote on Thursday.

That is the same day that the administration plans to lift the Title 42 border barrier that protects Americans from millions of wage-cutting, rent-spiking economic migrants that will likely sideline many older, sicker, and unwanted U.S. workers.

The Republicans’ plan would sharply restrict the administration’s quasi-legal policy of letting many job-seeking migrants through the “parole pipeline.” It would also restrict the administration’s ability to quickly bus migrants from the border to shelters and job-training centers in many U.S. cities.

But the GOP’s business and agriculture factions refused to support the bill until it was amended to protect the current inflow of cheap-labor visa workers. For example, the bill sets lower wages for the H-2A workers that are used by farmers.

“There are some things in the bill that are compromises, for sure,” said Jenks, adding:

There’s nothing about legal immigration in there. It’s all about actually ending the border surge and disincentivizing illegal immigration.

It shuts down pretty much all of [border loopholes widened by Biden] I mean, it fixes Flores. It stops the abuse of parole. It basically says that the Biden administration can’t use parole except in very specific instances. It requires that asylum seekers at the border be either detained, removed to a Safe Third Country, or be returned home. It fixes the UAC [Unaccompanied Alien Children] problem … It’s really great.

The bill is titled the “Secure the Border Act of 2023.”

However, the House GOP leaders have very few votes to spare because of likely unanimous Democrat opposition.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is threatening to vote against the reform because it forces companies to verify that job applicants are legally allowed to take jobs:

Office of the Governor Greg Abbott
0 seconds of 2 minutes, 46 secondsVolume 90%

The White House’s veto threat restates the party’s determination to let more migrants into the United States to compete for jobs and housing against Americans:

The Biden-Harris Administration’s approach to border management is grounded in this strategy – expanding legal pathways [emphasis added] …. [The bill] restricts lawful pathways, which are critical alternatives to unlawful entry.

Democrats justify the migration by saying the migrants are fleeing economic poverty — but say nothing about the poverty being inflicted on Americans.

“What House Democrats want to also make sure that we focus on are these root causes of migration,” Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) told MSNBC. He continued:

People are fleeing difficult and dangerous conditions. They’re fleeing economic issues. They’re fleeing because of climate change, and they aren’t able to farm the land that they used to farm with.

“We need an orderly process [to let them in] — that’s absolutely something that we need to do,” he said.

The federal government should spend more money to help job-seeking, wage-cutting migrants travel through the United States, according to a May 4 statement by Rep. Rueben Gallego (D-AZ):

I’ve heard directly from leaders in our border communities and it’s abundantly clear that they, through no fault of their own, are simply unequipped to handle the surge of migrants that are expected when Title 42 ends … They need tangible resources like buses, beds, personnel, and funds to both process asylum claims in an orderly way and keep their communities safe.

Since January 2021, the administration has admitted roughly 6 million legal, illegal, and quasi-legal migrants. The huge inflow is roughly three migrants for every four Americans who join the workforce.

This migration has killed at least 1,000 migrants and has imposed vast civic and economic burdens on Americans and their local governments. Those burdens include lower living standards, more civic chaos, and a tougher future for American kids.

PUT THE FUKER IN GITMO!


During a Senate committee hearing this week, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) estimated that the Biden administration has welcomed close to five million border crossers and illegal aliens to the United States since taking office in early 2021. This figure includes those released into the U.S. interior, known got-aways, and unknown got-aways.


Biden’s Border Chief Says He Can’t Explain Border Rush

President Joe Biden’s border chief says he can’t explain why hundreds of thousands of migrants are rushing over the border he is tasked to guard.

“Can you explain why you’ve seen this big surge [of migrants] in the last couple of weeks?” border chief Alejandro Mayorkas was asked on Friday, just six days before he lifts the Title 42 border barrier.

“It’s very difficult to identify the cause,” the pro-migration border chief responded to the reporter.

However, a Venezuelan migrant named Daniel told the May 7 New York Times why he and many other Venezuelans are sneaking into the United States: “We just want to work.”

“The goal was to provide for the children a quality life and educational opportunities,” Venezuelan Abel Oviedo told TexasTribune.org. He had settled in Colombia, and then moved to Peru, but started his family’s migration in late 2022. “I’m a hard worker,” Oviedo said.

Mayorkas’ claimed ignorance even though his agency has a 2023 budget of $175 billion. He works with intelligence and police agencies in the world’s superpower and is free to read the explanation by migrants such as Daniel and Oviedo, or by U.S. and foreign governments, media, academics, and businesses.

Mayorkas’ migration has killed at least 1,000 migrants and has imposed vast civic and economic burdens on Americans and their local governments. Those Mayorkas-imposed burdens include lower living standards, more civic chaos, and a tougher future for American kids.

After claiming ignorance in response to the reporter’s question, Mayorkas then released a jumbled string of words, similar to the “bafflegab” language used by British politicians:

You know the challenge of migration is in one aspect, its dynamism. It is a very complex phenomenon. We saw the tragic fire in the city of Juarez in Mexico and the impact domestically within Mexico. And since then we saw, over the past two weeks, a significant surge of Venezuelans. We are we have reached an agreement with the government of Mexico to address that surge and we’re going to see the results of that agreement very shortly.

Mayorkas frequently deflects questions about his pro-migration policies by claiming “fundamentally, we are working within a broken immigration system.”

Mayorkas’ “broken … system” excuse was swatted down on May 6 by Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX):

Just saying that the system is broken is an easy way to not [do] what we need to do at the border and working with other people, other countries like Mexico, Guatemala, and other folks that want to work with [us]. I agree, I support immigration reform. But just to say “the system is broken” is an easy way out to not doing what we need to do at the border, and that is provide law and order at the border and still respect the dignity of the immigrants that have legitimate, I emphasize, legitimate claims.

0 seconds of 6 minutes, 58 secondsVolume 90%

The New York Times followed the same bafflegab strategy in its May 7 report on the border flood. The paper relied on passive-voice statements to downplay Biden’s responsibility for removing President Donald Trump’s pro-U.S. policies, including the Title 42 border barrier:

That question is at the heart of a monumental challenge with a grim history. When the pandemic-inspired restrictions end, border officials will resume an immigration system that has largely failed for decades, but with the added pressure of three years of pent-up demand. About 35,000 migrants are amassed in Ciudad Juárez, another 15,000 in Tijuana and thousands more elsewhere on the Mexican side of the 2,000-mile-long border.

U.S. border officials are preparing for the surge by making it easier for economic migrants can get through the border, the newspaper admitted:

White House officials said they have worked for months to prepare for a likely surge …. [and] have also taken steps to encourage a more orderly flow of migration.

Mayorkas and his deputies are worried that border agents will not be able to complete the catch-and-release paperwork amid the growing crush of migrants, according to a May 5 report by NBC:

The concern, the Border Patrol official said, is the time it will take to process migrants when Title 42 goes away. Rather than one agent processing and sending 40 migrants back to Mexico under Title 42 in five minutes, it will take one agent 30 minutes to an hour to process just one migrant and determine where he or she will go next, the official said.

Mayorkas is a pro-migration zealot.

He said his border management is “all about achieving equity, which is really the core founding principle of our country.” Mayorkas’ demands imply equity between U.S. citizens and foreign citizens, and he has opened many loopholes for millions of economic migrants to cross into the United States.

In February 2023, Mayorkas said Congress’ laws are less important than his pro-migration priorities. “Our goal is to achieve operational control of the border … [with] policies that really advance the security of the border, and do not come at the cost of the values of our country,” he said.

Amid the massive inflow of roughly 2 million global economic migrants in 2022, Mayorkas insists the border is “secure,” and rejects any criticism of his deadly, elite-backed wealth-shifting policies. “We cannot have the rights and the needs of individuals who are seeing humanitarian relief in the United States be exploited for political purposes,” he told ABC News on January 1.

But that humanitarian pitch is tied to a promise of cheap labor for business investors. On December 13, for example, Mayorkas told ElPasoMatters.org:

Our immigration system as a whole is broken. It hasn’t been updated or reformed in more than 40 years. We look to our partner to the north that has a much more nimble immigration system that can be retooled to the needs at the moment. For example, Canada is in need of 1 million workers and they have agreed that in 2023, they will admit 1.4 million … immigrants to fill that labor need that Canadians themselves cannot. We are stuck in antiquated laws that do not meet our current needs. And they haven’t been working for many, many years.

Extraction Migration

The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of Extraction Migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy.

The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also 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 contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.

The population inflow also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans, because the population replacement allows elites to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of ordinary Americans.

Migration — and especially, labor migration — is unpopular among swing voters. A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to an August 2022 poll commissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR).

The 54 percent “Invasion” majority included 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats.

During a Senate committee hearing this week, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) estimated that the Biden administration has welcomed close to five million border crossers and illegal aliens to the United States since taking office in early 2021. This figure includes those released into the U.S. interior, known got-aways, and unknown got-aways.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Bashes Joe Biden’s Open Borders Policy

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized President Joe Biden on Sunday for his open borders policy amid what he called an immigration “crisis.”

The Democrat presidential candidate made his position on Biden’s immigration policy known when speaking to John Catsimatidis on WABC 7 The Cats Roundtable this weekend.

“We should have closed borders, and we should expand immigration,” Kennedy said. “It’s not racist or insensitive to say that we need to close our borders and have an orderly immigration policy. I would expand legal immigration to this country that’s orderly, that makes sense for our country, but also that our borders are impervious.”

Kennedy added “these open-door policies” have hurt children and have created a “humanitarian crisis” at the Southern Border.

“We have a crisis, and we need to close our border,” Kennedy said.

As Breitbart News reported, housing shelters in major cities are filling up as foreign migrants flood into the U.S. with the coming end of the Biden administration’s Title 42.

“Chicago has long pledged to welcome migrants. But a tenfold increase in recent days has taxed resources. Migrants awaiting beds in city-run shelters are sleeping on floors in police stations and in airports surrounded by suitcases. They’re depending on donors for food, medicine and clothing,” reported ABC News.

Republicans in border states like Texas began bussing migrants to major cities like Chicago and New York last year, arguing the rest of the nation needs to share the accommodation load.

The crisis will likely be further inflamed by the expiration of the policy Title 42 that “allowed the expulsion of migrants on public-health grounds.” The Biden administration now plans to send 1,500 troops to the border in anticipation of the surge. Per the Wall Street Journal:

In March, U.S. Customs and Border Protection had a daily average of more than 6,000 daily encounters with migrants at the southern border. Last week Acting Commissioner Troy Miller testified to a House subcommittee that the agency expects a “surge of migrants” after May 11 and that daily encounters could reach 10,000. The city of El Paso declared a state of emergency on Monday, and on Tuesday the White House approved sending 1,500 troops to the border.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Catsimatidis the U.S. has contributed to the border problems due to its policies with Central and South America.

“He said the US has been involved in wars in virtually every country in Central America with the exception of Costa Rica, a relatively stable nation compared with its neighbors,” noted the New York Post.

The presidential hopeful also hit against the president’s censorship of free speech, primarily on social media platforms.

“Mr. Biden is for censorship. I’m against it,” he said. “The White House, we now know from the Twitter files, has been trying to censor me, ordering, and pressuring the social media platforms to censor me and many many other people. Anybody who dissents from some of [Biden’s] policies … That is something that is wholly antithetical to the Democratic Party.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also made his stance against open borders known last week in response to illegal migrant Francisco Oropeza Perez-Torres murdering a family of five in Texas.

“Francisco Oropeza Perez-Torres has been arrested for the murder of 5 people including a 9-year-old boy,” Kennedy wrote. “Torres is a Mexican already deported 4 times. It is not anti-immigrant bigotry to demand an immigration system that keeps out criminals. In fact, letting them in stokes bigotry.”

Kennedy added that Americans can be both “pro-immigration and pro-closing the border.”

Rice, who served in the Clinton and Obama administrations, will leave her role on May 26, Biden announced Monday in a statement praising her "steady" and "capable" leadership. Rice has overseen Biden’s domestic policy for the past two years, including policies concerning migrant children that have been called into question. 

The New York Times reported last week that documents show Rice was aware the administration was quickly releasing unaccompanied migrant children into the country by the thousands. Many of those children ended up working grueling jobs, often for long hours and in dangerous conditions where they worked with chemicals and industrial equipment


Now that the New York Times's dramatic expose about the huge surge in migrant child labor at slaughterhouses, chemical factories, construction sites, and chicken processing plants is out, 60 Minutes has decided to do its own version of the story -- this time rewriting the damning report to exonerate Joe Biden and his open-borders policies that created it. MONICA SHOWALTER

It's all very easy to explain: Biden has opened the border to "unaccompanied children" which has incentivized child exploitation rackets to send Central American children to the states to work in as heavy labor for unscrupulous employers. The administration has even become a middleman for the cartel rackets who exploit kids, taking in the children, and then releasing the children to child slavers who are pretty obvious about who they are, as their "guardians."


60 Minutes whitewashes Joe Biden's open-borders child labor scandal

Now that the New York Times's dramatic expose about the huge surge in migrant child labor at slaughterhouses, chemical factories, construction sites, and chicken processing plants is out, 60 Minutes has decided to do its own version of the story -- this time rewriting the damning report to exonerate Joe Biden and his open-borders policies that created it.

 

 

 It's as slovenly a report as any of the worst they've ever done, and naturally, 60 Minutes Biden shill Scott Pelley hosted it, sounding all 60-Minutes-serious to try to make his report seem more important.

Actually, it's junk.

Here are a few pointers as to why:

Start with what the two New York Times reports revealed with rigorous, hard, fact-checked, verifiable reporting (here and here). (I blogged about those reports here and here).

Report one, which ran on Feb. 25, 2023, by Hannah Dreier, its findings were well summed up in its headline and subhead:

Arriving in record numbers, they’re ending up in dangerous jobs that violate child labor laws — including in factories that make products for well-known brands like Cheetos and Fruit of the Loom.

Report two, which ran on April 17, 2023, also by Dreier, had these summaries:
 

As Migrant Children Were Put to Work, U.S. Ignored Warnings

The White House and federal agencies were repeatedly alerted to signs of children at risk. The warnings were ignored or missed.

These are both Pulitzer-worthy reports that ought to get that prize as something that would restore the credibility of both the Times and the Pulitzer board, which up until now has seen scandals like these.
 
It's all very easy to explain: Biden has opened the border to "unaccompanied children" which has incentivized child exploitation rackets to send Central American children to the states to work in as heavy labor for unscrupulous employers. The administration has even become a middleman for the cartel rackets who exploit kids, taking in the children, and then releasing the children to child slavers who are pretty obvious about who they are, as their "guardians." When some government officials complained and sent warnings up the chain of command that the kids were being sent to the exploiters, the officials were punished, fired, reassigned, sanctioned. The Biden administration then promptly "lost" at least 85,000 children, who disappeared into the factories and construction sites as child labor, forced to pay their "debts" to the sleazy cartels that smuggled them in in the first place. It should be noted that Biden reaped big political hay for a few hundred who went missing under the Trump administration. Now the exploitation has reached epic proportions, clearly linked to Biden's policy of never sending unaccompanied children back to their homes in their home countries.
 
But 60 Minutes had an agenda to promote, so they tried to rewrite the report to Biden's benefit.
 
First, they barely mentioned that the kids were immigrants coming in from Joe's open borders. Pelley's written report (and it's pretty close to the actual transcript) mentioned immigration just twice in a 13-minute segment:
 
The jobs are grim and dangerous--and so they are often filled by immigrants who are desperate for work. Some immigrants use false papers to routinely beat the federal identification system that is known as E-Verify. 
 
Did he find any who weren't migrants? That would be a story.
 
Then, Pelley tried to sneakily pin the blame on President Trump's administration as well as Joe Biden's as a means of claiming 'they all do it,' as a means of erasing Biden's responsibility:

Scott Pelley: Did any of the children tell you how long they had been working at the plant?

Shannon Rebolledo: Yes. 

Scott Pelley: And how long was that?

Shannon Rebolledo: We looked back at a three-year period. So, we can confirm that they had minors working there as early as 2019.

No numbers offered and no questions from Pelley about what those 2019 numbers might be compared to the 2023 numbers. 2019 was a year when President Trump was in office, so see? Everybody does it. They may have found one or two cases. But child labor expanded greatly under Joe Biden and his open borders policies, with Joe insisting he'd never send back a child traveling alone. That's at least 85,000 and who knows how many they don't know about.

Then, Pelley tried to pin the blame on bad companies that exploit child labor, not bad government policies that allow them to do so with impunity:

Last November, the Department of Labor filed suit against PSSI. The company responded with this: "PSSI has an absolute company-wide prohibition" against hiring minors. It added, "we will defend ourselves vigorously against these claims." 

The statement said PSSI checks eligibility of employees, including this girl, on a federal database. But that database is well known to be abused in an industry that can struggle to find workers. 

He even included a shot at e-Verify, which supposedly checks worker credentials for legality to work in the states, claiming it was useless:

Employers have known for nearly 30 years that E-Verify is useless if the applicant has bought, borrowed or stolen an actual ID --which is common. and in the case of the children, E-Verify was especially dubious. 

Ah. Mise well get rid of it, then, since it can be fooled. Just what the open-borders lobby wants.

Pelley did move up the corporate chain of command and landed at Blackstone, which owns the slaughterhouse-cleaning company PSSI:

For all the years the investigation found child labor, PSSI has been owned by Wall Street's Blackstone--the largest private equity firm in the world. Blackstone told us "extensive pre-investment due diligence showed PSSI had industry-leading hiring compliance..." But it seems, that diligence failed to find what was obvious to investigators watching a shift change in a parking lot. Still, the investment giant says, "a claim of insufficient diligence or oversight is simply false." And yet 102 children labored at 13 slaughterhouses in eight states. 

60 Minutes featured Blackstone as the ultimate exploiter of migrant child labor, calling them "billionaires" and then ran Blackstone's hard-to-believe official denials claiming it would never dream of exploiting child labor -- yet it never mentioned that Blackstone is primarily known as a Democrat donor and Biden ally.

Just corporate bad guys, see? All those dreadful billionaires, quick, let's expropriate.

Not one word about Joe Biden's open borders policies that have fueled this child-migrant labor surge.

Then, as if to counter the New York Times' damning report about government retaliation against whistleblowers inside the Department of Labor and other agencies, they trotted out a labor inspector named Sharon Rebollado to show us all how diligently she was doing her job locating child labor exploitation, which is what she gets paid to do.

Shannon Rebolledo is a 17-year Labor Department investigator who was skeptical. But she went to Grand Island, Nebraska, last summer, after a middle school told police about acid burns on the hand and knee of a 14-year-old girl. The student explained that she worked nights in this slaughterhouse on the edge of town. 

Scott Pelley: What did the educators at Walnut Middle School tell you?

Shannon Rebolledo: It seemed to be known within the community that minors either are or were working overnight shifts. They told us about children that were falling asleep in class, um, that had burns, chemical burns. They were concerned for the safety of the kids. They were concerned that they weren't able to stay awake and do their job, which is learning in school.

Scott Pelley: Because they'd been up all night.

Shannon Rebolledo: Right. 

Just a heroic Labor Department inspector doing her duty, right? Not one word about the Labor Department employees who were sanctioned and fired for doing their duty back when the kids were hauled in by the Border Patrol. 

Rebollado put a stop to the practice in the companies cited, but painted a hideous candy-colored false-light picture about how she 'saved' those migrant kids and they lived happily ever after:

As for the child workers in Grand Island, privacy laws prevent officials from telling us much. But we do know one child is in foster care and others are with their parents.

Scott Pelley: You know, I wonder after speaking to these children, after exposing what was happening to them, what is your hope for them now?

Shannon Rebolledo: I hope that they're safe. I hope that they have an opportunity to be kids, to go to school and not be tired. And if they're working, I just, I hope that they're able to work in a safe environment.

Really? What about the cartels? What do cartels do when their payments from their exploited child laborers stops coming because the kids are off the jobs and in school? And tell us about the wisdom of releasing kids to "parents" (if they were parents) after putting their kids in these exploitation situations? Something about that doesn't smell right, either. 60 Minutes, which weaseled out of asking any questions on privacy concerns, never bothered to ask any of the obvious ones.

What we had here was a bid to lament child labor, blame companies exclusively, omit the connection of the companies to Joe Biden, and make the government the rescuing hero.

This is baloney. The Times story is out so we know what really happened. 60 Minutes just tried to hitch a ride on the story in order

  to point the blame at everyone but the creator of this problem, Joe Biden himself.

Biden emerges as the 'Fagin' for exploited migrant children

By Monica Showalter

Not too long ago, Joe Biden held President Trump up to scorn for his immigration policies, calling them 'inhumane,' 'criminal,' and a 'stain.' 

Biden denounced Trump's separation of families policies intended to disincentivize family migration rackets, given that the law required detention for adults caught crossing the U.S. border illegally, but not children. The policy had been started under President Obama, so it was hardly his idea. Biden made such an issue of it he even sought out separated families and tried to make them millionaires through torts payouts, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer, based on all the supposed 'harm' of the separation following their thousand mile journeys to el norte in the tender hands of the cartels. Biden insisted on never sending back unaccompanied minors, pleasing the open borders lobby mightily.

Now the results of his own supposedly "humane" immigration policies are in, and they are even more inhumane than anything he ever accused Trump of doing.

According to the New York Times, child exploitation has become a massive crisis in this country, affecting tens of thousands of foreign children brought in through Joe's open borders.

Worse still, Biden administration officials knew about the huge child-slavery rackets emerging and ignored every single warning -- almost as if they wanted it to be happening.

In the spring of 2021, Linda Brandmiller was working at an arena in San Antonio that had been converted into an emergency shelter for migrant children. Thousands of boys were sleeping on cots as the Biden administration grappled with a record number of minors crossing into the United States without their parents.

Ms. Brandmiller’s job was to help vet sponsors, and she had been trained to look for possible trafficking. In her first week, two cases jumped out: One man told her he was sponsoring three boys to employ them at his construction company. Another, who lived in Florida, was trying to sponsor two children who would have to work off the cost of bringing them north.

She immediately contacted supervisors working with the Department of Health and Human Services, the federal agency responsible for these children. “This is urgent,” she wrote in an email reviewed by The New York Times.

But within days, she noticed that one of the children was set to be released to the man in Florida. She wrote another email, this time asking for a supervisor’s “immediate attention” and adding that the government had already sent a 14-year-old boy to the same sponsor.

This being the Biden administration, they even retaliated against whistleblowers inside the U.S. government agencies who tried to warn about the child slavery they saw before their eyes, fostered and enabled by the Bidenite policies.

Ms. Brandmiller also emailed the shelter’s manager. A few days later, her building access was revoked during her lunch break. She said she was never told why she had been fired.

...and...

At least five Health and Human Services staff members filed complaints and said they were pushed out after raising concerns about child safety.

Jallyn Sualog was the most senior career member of the H.H.S. division responsible for unaccompanied migrant children when Mr. Biden took office. She had helped build the program after the passage of the 2008 law and, as a lifelong Democrat, had celebrated Mr. Biden’s win.

But soon, she said, she began to hear reports that children were being released to adults who had lied about their identities, or who planned to exploit them.

She warned her bosses in a 2021 email, “If nothing continues to be done, there will be a catastrophic event.” She continued to email about situations she described as “critical” and “putting children at risk.”

When her warnings fell on deaf ears, she complained through official channels, and they demoted her, moving her to a lousier position.

This sounds like something out of Dickens. Weren't there evil characters such as Bill Sikes and Fagin, who exploited street-urchin children in Oliver Twist? I looked up such examples on ChatGPT, which is kind of good for such questions and got:

1. 

Bill Sikes from the novel "Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens (also various movie adaptations) - Bill Sikes is a brutal and violent criminal who exploits Oliver Twist, a young orphan, by using him in his criminal activities and treating him with cruelty and abuse.

2. 

3. 

Fagin from the novel "Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens (also various movie adaptations) - Fagin is a criminal who exploits and manipulates young boys, including Oliver Twist, into a life of pickpocketing and crime. He preys on their vulnerability and uses them for his own gain.

4. 

We can add Joe Biden to that list, given his horrific activity ensuring that the child labor rackets go on, and small children are handed over to evil exploiters for their labor whether they like it or not. Biden not only has a funny connection to child sex exploitation rackets, he also seems to have one to child labor rackets. Andrea Widburg wrote about that here. This is very strange stuff for a president of the United States.

The Times also noted that White House domestic advisor, Susan Rice, understood very well that Biden administration policies of keeping unaccompanied minors inside the U.S. was what was driving the migrant surge. 

In 2021, as images of children sleeping under foil blankets in overflow centers dominated the news, Susan E. Rice, the White House’s head of domestic policy, told staff members she was frustrated with the situation, according to five people who worked with her. Ms. Rice vented in a note she scribbled on a memo detailing the position of advocates, who believed a pandemic-era border closure was compelling parents to send unaccompanied children, sometimes called U.C.s.

“This is BS,” Ms. Rice wrote, according to a copy of the memo reviewed by The Times. “What is leading to ‘voluntary’ separation is our generosity to UCs!”

It's a damning follow-on report from their earlier expose on February 27, and well worth reading the whole thing because it's one outrage after another -- stories of NGOs trying to warn the government they were releasing kids into the hands of child labor rackets straight out of Upton Sinclair's 1903 bestseller, The Jungle, and going ignored if not penalized, while children were being used for cheap labor in factories, slaughterhouses, assembly lines and other places kids shouldn't be working at under any circumstances. Yeet they were and still are, often at graveyard hours, and of course, at very low wages, sometimes absent wages because the children have "debts" to pay to human traffickers. I wrote about the extent of that problem after the first NYT expose, here. This subsequent report pretty well shows that the matter is even worse.

As a coda, it's worth noting that there is a flap going on now about NBC News pulling a story about child migrant labor, which seems to be seeping into the mainstream press now that the Times has given a coast-is-clear signal to the other press. The broadcasting outlet featured a migrant named "Pedro" who claimed to be a child but wasn't a child, and he was the featured poster boy for the story about child labor exploitation. It was a lousy error, and they should have used a last name for their source, or found one who would give one, as the Times did, and the error does make the story an embarrassment. AT contributor Rajan Laad looked at that issue today here.

But it's important to note that the broad substance of the report is correct -- there are tens of thousands of children being released into the U.S. for child labor purposes by Biden administration officials, who are trying to repress any criticism of their behavior. Might that have been part of the reason NBC pulled the story instead of just left it up, errors and all, the way most news outlets normally do, especially if it involves President Trump? It's worth consideration to think that the news honchos didn't like this story at all as it cast a finger at the Bidenites, and wanted it out of there anyway. Funny how that happens to an inconvenient story like this.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene is accurate, what she says about Biden is mind-blowing

By Andrea Widburg

Hunter Biden’s hard drive, which he’s now conceded is legitimate, proved that Hunter was an exceptionally debauched character. Drugs and prostitutes dominated his life for a long time, and his own family didn’t trust him around teenage girls. That’s why it’s easy to believe Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s as-yet unsubstantiated claim that the Biden family was benefitting from human trafficking both in the U.S.  and Eastern Europe—including Russia and Ukraine. Just because she says it doesn’t mean it’s true, so the real shock is that we live in a world in which it seems possible, even likely.

It took a strong stomach to watch the videos and view the photographs on Hunter’s hard drive. They revealed a compulsively exhibitionistic man who couldn’t stop recording himself smoking crack, sniffing cocaine, and cavorting with prostitutes, some of whom looked as if they fell into the statutory rape category. Moreover, the laptop revealed that, when Hunter requested money from his Dad (the current Oval Office occupant) to fund this debauchery, Dad paid up.

What the laptop also revealed, despite Biden’s strenuous denials, is that Joe was involved in Hunter’s many business dealings. We know this because Hunter’s staffers, business partners, and prospects were all welcomed into Joe’s vice-presidential office.

 

Image: Marjorie Taylor Greene. Twitter screen grab.

Now, thanks to Republican control over the House of Representatives, we’re getting an insight into the fact that all members of the Biden family may have received money from Hunter’s many business deals, including those with Ukraine and China. In March, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) reported that, in addition to the money Hunter and James Biden were pocketing through the family influence-peddling business, Hallie Biden (widow of Beau Biden and drug-addicted girlfriend of Hunter Biden) was also getting a cut.

Then, on Monday, Rep. Comer revealed that even more Bidens were on the take:

 

Six more members of the Biden clan may have benefitted from the family’s various business schemes, bringing the total number of kin implicated up to nine, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed Monday.

The findings come after the Kentucky GOP congressman and other lawmakers on the panel examined suspicious activity reports sent by banks to the Treasury Department alerting of potential criminal activity in transactions involving President Biden’s family.

“Thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family, their companies, and associates’ business schemes were made available to members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which confirm the importance of this investigation,” Comer said in a statement.

“The Biden family enterprise is centered on Joe Biden’s political career and connections, and it has generated an exorbitant amount of money for the Biden family. We’ve identified six additional members of Joe Biden’s family who may have benefited from the Biden family’s businesses that we are investigating, bringing the total number of those involved or benefiting to nine,” he said.

In a way, that’s kind of ho-hum stuff. Peter Schweizer long ago detailed the Biden family grift, all of which revolved around Biden’s political positions in the Senate and the Vice President’s office.

 

Yesterday, though, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (D-GA) added something unexpected to the businesses from which the Bidens profited. According to her, in addition to money coming to the Bidens from various foreign countries,

I just saw evidence of human trafficking. This involved prostitutes not only from here in the United States, but foreign countries like Russia and Ukraine. This is unbelievable that a President and a former Vice President, not only his son Hunter Biden, but many more family members extending past Hunter Biden and his immediate family.

 

 

As I noted, there is no way to know whether Greene is correctly interpreting the information the House committee is reviewing. The sad state in which America finds itself, though, is that everyone who hears this claim asks some variation of this rhetorical question: “Would that be a surprise?”

The answer, of course, is no. Given the Biden family’s rapacity, Joe’s penchant for sniffing and fondling little girls, an

d Hunter’s well-known and self-documented debauchery, it’s only too easy to believe that America’s president has enriched himself and his family through human trafficking. 

Bush, Obama, Clinton Team Up with American Express to Fly Migrants into American Communities

3:14

A non-governmental organization (NGO) founded by former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama and backed by a litany of multinational corporations is teaming up with American Express to fly migrants into the United States.

The NGO, called Welcome.US, was initially launched to work with President Joe Biden’s administration in resettling some 85,000 Afghans across the U.S. in 2021 and 2022, as Breitbart News reported extensively at the time.

For its Afghan operation, the NGO helped fly close to 20,000 Afghans to American communities funded by millions raised from donations and supported by corporate backers like Walmart, Airbnb, the New York Times, the Business Roundtable, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Starbucks, the Washington Post, Goldman Sachs, Goodwill Industries, Microsoft, and Chobani.

The NGO also has ties to billionaire George Soros, as members of his Open Society Foundation sit on the group’s “National Welcome Council.”

Now, the NGO is teaming up with the open borders group Miles4Migrants as well as American Express Global Business Travel to fund flights to American communities for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Ukraine, and Nicaragua.

“Donations are needed to fund the flights for newcomers to travel to the United States,” the initiative’s webpage states:

Those forced to flee often leave behind all but what they can carry, and the costs of international travel can be prohibitive. Welcome Connect Travel removes the cost of travel as a barrier for both sponsors in the United States and the displaced families they are supporting through humanitarian sponsorship. [Emphasis added]

With the average cost of a single flight at $1,600, public donations through our partner Miles4Migrants will help provide a lifeline to newcomers, giving them the opportunity to safely travel to their new communities. Donate below to help newcomers access safe travel. [Emphasis added]

The NGO’s flights for migrants are meant to complement a program created by President Joe Biden’s administration this year where 360,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua will be admitted to the United States annually via an expansive parole pipeline which has already helped release about a million migrants into American communities from 2021 to 2022.

During a Senate committee hearing this week, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) estimated that the Biden administration has welcomed close to five million border crossers and illegal aliens to the United States since taking office in early 2021. This figure includes those released into the U.S. interior, known got-aways, and unknown got-aways.
