AMERICA: NO DAMNED LEGAL NEED APPLY!
A flooded labor market from mass immigration has had a devastating impact on working- and middle-class Americans, while redistributing billions in wealth to the top one percent of earners and big business. While creating an economy that tilts in favor of employers, the mass immigration economic model has helped keep wages stagnant for decades. JOHN BINDER
"This is how they will destroy America from within. The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never be exposed to the cost of the invasion of millions of migrants. They have nothing but contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities being intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human traffickers. These people have no intention of becoming Americans; like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us." PATRICIA McCARTHY

Bidenomics: Poll shows one out of five Americans would rather quit the country?
Is the American Dream dead?
A disturbing new TIPP poll suggests something like it, with the young most inclined to want to leave the country, fueled by financial stress.
According to TIPP:
Over one in five Americans express a strong desire to permanently move to another country if given the opportunity, according to a recent Golden/TIPP Poll of 1,480 Americans nationwide.
Financial considerations significantly drive this desire.
Young adults exhibit the strongest yearning. Interestingly, Democrats and liberals are more inclined to leave, while Republicans and conservatives hold a contrasting sentiment.
The online survey was conducted from May 3 to 5. The survey’s credibility interval (CI) is +/- 2.8 percentage points, meaning the study is accurate to within ± 2.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, had all Americans been surveyed.
It wouldn't be surprising, given the Orwellian turn of our government with its mass surveillance and data-gathering, as well as a widespread sense that our elections are dishonest and our votes count for nothing.
But the big driver of this "get the hell out" sentiment is economic.
TIPP notes that Americans have lost faith in their financial futures:
In simple terms, financial considerations are the main driving force.
When comparing the two groups - those who want to leave and those who want to stay - across eight financial concerns, we consistently observe a significantly higher number of individuals wishing to quit expressing financial worries than those who want to remain.
TIPP notes that those considerations are as follows:
- Maintaining your current standard of living: 81% of those wanting to move abroad express concerns, compared to 67% of those wanting to stay in the U.S.
- Having enough savings for retirement: 78% of those wanting to move abroad have worries, while 64% of those wanting to stay in the U.S. share the same concern.
- Being able to pay medical or health care costs: 71% of those wanting to move abroad express this concern, in contrast to 58% of those wanting to stay in the U.S.
- Ability to pay utility bills: 66% of those wanting to move abroad worry about this, while 56% of those wanting to stay in the U.S. have similar concerns.
- Affording mortgage payments or rent: 64% of those wanting to move abroad express concerns, whereas 49% of those wanting to stay in the U.S. share this worry.
- Making on-time credit card payments: 56% of those wanting to move abroad express this concern, compared to 45% of those wanting to stay in the U.S.
- Making on-time auto loan/lease payments: 50% of those wanting to move abroad worry about this, while 36% of those wanting to stay in the U.S. have similar concerns.
- Financing children's education
Curiously, it's young liberals who lead the pack, perhaps because they were never taught to love America in the first place, or perhaps because the Democrats cheated them early when they rigged the 2020 Democrat primaries to shut out their favored candidate, Bernie Sanders.
It's also a fact that the young are not as tied down as the old.
It's a horrible result to contemplate, but we've seen signs of it brewing for years. Young workers don't want to go back to the office following the lifting of COVID restrictions. The COVID lockdowns themselves did great damage to the economy, particularly of young startup businesses.
Polls repeatedly show that the public thinks the U.S. is headed the wrong direction under Joe Biden.
Even increased mobility, including mobility of jobs, may be a factor.
Falling 401(k)s, which I wrote about here yesterday, certainly are. Last September, I noted a study showing that under Bidenomics, there's been a $9-trillion wipeout of private wealth. Last October, I cited a study by economist Stephen Moore and a colleague, showing that Biden has cost Americans an average of $34,000 of their retirement savings.
Whatever it is, it's a sad reflection on the shambles the U.S. has become in the era of Joe Biden, who can't stop gaslighting us about what a great job he's done.
Americans have lost faith in their financial futures, TIPP noted. That ought to be the number-one election issue for Republicans. When have we ever seen this many Americans whose only American Dream now is escape, getting the heck out?

HOW MANY HOMELESS AMERICANS NOW DUE TO THE ECONOMIC AND BORDER POLICES OF TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED WITH OPEN BORDERS???
Deep Blue Illinois Ranks Dead Last on Economic Racial Equality
The “deep blue” State of Illinois ranks dead last in racial equality, according to a recent study by personal finance company WalletHub.
WalletHub’s findings come despite the ultra-“woke” policies of the state’s controlling Democrats.
The study looked at how blacks and whites are faring economically in all 50 states by measuring poverty rates, homelessness, employment, home ownership, household income, job status, and other metrics.
The resulting list did not break down along red-and-blue state lines as other economic lists have tended to do. But the study did show that a state with some of America’s most liberal, left-wing, “woke” policies has failed miserably to create the climate its minority citizens need to find the opportunities for economic success.
The only other area in the country worse than Illinois was ultra-left District of Columbia, which came in in the 51st spot and is also failing its minority population.
Several other blue states also figured in the top ten.
Illinois has a “progressive” income tax policy. It has set-asides for blacks, Hispanics, women, and other historically disadvantaged groups; it has endeavored to undermine its criminal codes to free more people from jails, it has a growing list of handouts for illegal aliens, and Democrats control both houses of the state legislature and every single state-wide office.
Illinois is very proud of it’s many “equity” policies to help its minority citizens. Yet the state is an incredible, crushing failure in achieving its own goals.
As Wirepoints noted in reporting on the study:
Illinois appears to be a fugitive from one of the most widely recognized laws of economics, which is that there’s a tradeoff between equity and efficiency. Sacrificing some economic growth is usually regarded as the price of achieving more equity, as that rule has it. Illinois has paid that price. It has had no net job growth in 20 years. Its total tax burden is consistently ranked among the highest in the nation. Its GDP growth since 2019 is the tenth worst in the nation. And its people are fleeing.
As Breitbart News reported, recent numbers show that Illinois lost nearly 150,000 citizens to red states, including Florida, Texas, and Tennessee. It has lost even more to nearby states, such as Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Kentucky. And this net loss of citizens has been ongoing for the better part of a decade.
For all its left-wing, equity-minded policies, the Land of Lincoln remains one of America’s top places to be from.

Chicago, Illinois, Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) is hoping to spend $25 million in taxpayer money to pay rent for thousands of illegal aliens in the city.
Since August of last year, more than 10,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in the sanctuary city of Chicago — many on buses sent from Texas.
Now, Johnson is hoping to secure $25 million in taxpayer money to provide six months of rent to more than 6,500 illegal aliens. That move would come as rent for local Chicagoans has skyrocketed in recent years.
Median rent prices in Chicago, currently, are nearing $2,000 a month — a $120 increase compared to the same time last year, when rents were about $1,700 a month, according to Zillow.

Meanwhile, Johnson will also be placing more than 300 mostly single male border crossers and illegal aliens in a sports center in the Gage Park neighborhood of Chicago.
Years of research show that the nation’s admission of more than a million legal immigrants annually, in addition to millions of illegal aliens, sends housing and rental prices surging for working and middle class Americans.
Last month, left-wing New York Magazine made the admission in a piece noting that mass immigration is “bad for housing prices.”
In 2013, a study by the Michael Bloomberg-funded New American Economy, which promotes mass immigration, explained how the importing of tens of millions of illegal and legal immigrants over decades has raised housing costs by $3.7 trillion for the next generation of homebuyers but spun the figure as the creation of “housing wealth.”
“The 40 million immigrants in the United States represent a powerful purchasing class — reflected by their demand for housing, as well as for other locally produced goods and services — that bolster the value of homes in communities across the country,” the study admitted.
