THE DOCTRINE OF THE N.A.F.T.A. GLOBALIST DEMOCRATS IS TO SERVE THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS WITH ENDLESS WAVES OF INVADING 'CHEAP' LABOR SUBSIDIZED WITH WELFARE FUNDED BY TAXES ON MIDDLE AMERICA.
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 elites’ opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.
Do you think it matters that our alleged president has fallen myriad times and can’t get up? You do? You sap.
Watching President Gumby trip all over mystery sandbags at the Air Force Academy just reinforces what we all already know. He’s a senile, desiccated, crusty weirdo with delusions of mental competence. And no one cares, at least no one with the power to put this broken nag out to pasture. The mass of normal people might care if they really understood just how far the decay has gotten. Fortunately, we have a fearless truth-telling class of journalists who are unwilling to allow off-narrative facts to prevent them from bravely speaking truth to power. And if you believe that, you need to watch out for those cunning sandbags because you’re mentally defective too.
Now, we could spend some time talking about the massive hypocrisy at play. We could scream “Imagine if this bumbling fool was a Republican!” But we don’t have to imagine. We know. Donald Trump walked down a wet ramp and steadied himself and this was a five-alarm 25th Amendment emergency. But Grandpa Badfinger spills all over the place, whether on a bike or an airplane ladder or a flat surface, and it’s no big deal. It’s racist for you to even notice. Or maybe sexist, or transphobic. It’s something bad.
But let’s not get stuck on the whole hypocrisy thing. Sure, it’s hypocritical. No one cares, at least no one with power. We hardcores don’t care. We are based. We know the regime media’s entire purpose is to reinforce the narrative du jour of the ruling class. Today, it’s going to be that a president’s ability to perform basic functions is irrelevant. Tomorrow, with another Republican, it’ll be super-relevant once again only because it will be useful again. We shouldn’t bother pointing it out to each other. We shouldn’t bother highlighting the difference between how they treated Trump’s personal life and how they’ve treated Hunter’s stripper-baby’s granddaddy. Crying about hypocrisy has gotten boring, and to display shock over the double standards betrays a tiresome naïveté, as if we somehow believe that there’s some sort of rule out there that compels consistency, objectivity, and fairness. We know there’s none of that. Facts and truth are irrelevant to the situation. There is only power, which means we’ve got to get power and use it to crush the left. They’ll cry. They’ll complain. They’ll tell us it’s against our conservative principles to fight our enemies, and our proper response is to laugh at them. And to keep crushing them.
To the extent pointing out hypocrisy is useful, it only is when it comes to normal people. You know, the kind of people who don’t sit on Twitter all day, or watch the news, or do pretty much anything except drink their Bud Light and enjoy corporate sportsball. Talking about hypocrisy sometimes works on them, and it’s adorable when it does. It’s cute, because they still believe. They have faith in our institutions. They have this childlike understanding of the world that assumes that there’s some sort of referee out there who’s going to apply neutral rules, and make it all better for us. They’re actually stunned when they see the regime media lie. They’re actually shocked when they see two standards applied, one to the damn communists and one to us patriots. It’s kind of refreshing to see people so innocent. And it’s kind of sad to see people so dumb.
It’s hard to accept that our country has changed fundamentally, as Obama promised it would, from a society where we had a pretty fair shot at the fair application of the rules to a place where the rules don’t exist at all. Chairman Mao, who the left would love to be if they weren’t invertebrate sissies who can’t do push-ups, and for whom a long march consists of walking down to and back from the end of the Chardonnay aisle of the Trader Joe’s, pointed out that power comes from the barrel of a gun. Of course, the only guns they have are ones wielded by our sons and daughters who, in another burst of delightful naïveté, joined our woke military in the belief that it’s still about protecting our country instead of manufacturing politically indoctrinated young people and fighting (and losing) endless DC wars. Also, they want it as a backstop to uppity citizens, but good luck. A woke army is a bad army, so they can’t really force anything upon us. They have to talk us into doing it to ourselves.
And what they plan to talk us into doing to ourselves, again, is nominating a brain dead mollusk as the pseudo-president, a gibbering golem who will be a conduit for every commie dream these monsters can think up. Look at Feinstein. Look at Fetterman. Look deep into their empty eyes. They are husks, imaginary people. They don’t exist as human beings but solely as avatars of Marxist fantasies. And like them, no real human being named “Joe Biden” exists, and it’s doubtful he really ever did. He’s a political marketing concept coming to pseudo-life. His bodily functions continue to proceed, presumably into his ever-present set of Depends, as he staggers through his golden years, but he’s not running the country. He’s probably not even changing the channel to Matlock on the old Magnavox. He’s a puppet, and the left’s left hand is all the way up to him.
So, when Joe Biden trips, it really means nothing to us. We’re not learning anything new. We already know what he is, and what he isn’t. But for normal people? It might work to change their minds from not having any opinions to thinking “Oh, maybe this guy is too old to be president and maybe we ought to look at somebody who isn’t old and senile and I wonder if NCIS: Rancho Cucamonga is on gosh I love that show.”
But the regime media is not gonna risk letting that happen. They turned Gerald Ford from into a national joke for the very same thing, and they’ll gleefully ignore this staggering clinical imbecile. Some normals might look up from their chicken tenders long enough to notice, but it’s unclear if they’ll actually care. The pain hasn’t gotten bad enough yet. But don’t worry. The Democrats’’ combination of corruption, gross incompetence, and burning hatred of normal Americans will make it get worse, and eventually the people will react. It’s just going to take a while. The normies are lulled into quiescence with Wonder Bread and circuses. Things are going to have to get darker before they get lighter. So, if you think the mere fact that this Oval Office occupant demonstrating his utter inability to perform as a president is going to make any difference in the short term, you’re the one who is tripping.

Brooks: I Hear from White House Biden’s Not a ‘Doddering’ Grandpa, He Can Be ‘Mean’ ‘and a Very Harsh Boss’
On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks stated that he thinks President Joe Biden’s staff overprotects him and that the President should be out in public more. Brooks also said that from what he hears from inside the Biden White House, the President’s “not a doddering old grandpa either.” And Biden “can be a very tough, mean guy and a very harsh boss sometimes.”
Brooks said, “[L]onger-term…I do think Biden is still underexposed. I think his staff is still overprotective of him. And he’s much smarter in public than a lot of people think — in private. And so, I do think they need to let him get out more, because it’s just not good for the presidency for him to be that much in the shadow of Donald Trump.”
He added, “I will say, from what I hear inside the White House, he’s not a doddering old grandpa either. He’s like — can be a very tough, mean guy and a very harsh boss sometimes. So, he could say [he’s overprotected]. But he might be trusting or maybe he wants to be as quiet and frankly, as closed in, as he’s been.”

Marco Rubio: U.S. Immigration Policy Is Driven by Wall Street
The federal government’s migration policy is driven by business and economics, not by claims about “citizens of the world,” says Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).
“This country has prioritized the importation of cheap labor,” including legal cheap labor, he said in his book, titled, “Decades of Decadence: How Our Spoiled Elites Blew America’s Inheritance of Liberty, Security, and Prosperity.”
Across this country today, the immigration system has been corrupted and exploited. And it began, as many of America’s problems do, with the fundamental shift toward a globalized economy.
…
But not every business could be exported, which meant Wall Street simply figured out how to import cheap labor, much of it [clarification, not all] coming from illegal immigrants. This was a slower, more subtle process. Sure, some politicians made a big deal about “jobs Americans wouldn’t do,” but otherwise the only outcry came from workers who found their wages stalled, benefits cut, and hours slashed until they could be replaced by someone willing to work more hours for less.
More often than not, it is about jobs Wall Street doesn’t want Americans to do because hiring Americans would require higher wages and better working conditions. To them, it is better to import cheap labor and buy off Americans with cash welfare programs provided by the government.
Rubio’s book reflects his long experience in immigration policies — especially in 2013 and 2014 when he withdrew from the so-called “Gang of Eight” amnesty amid loud demands from many donors for more immigrant consumers, workers, and renters.
Rubio’s clear-eyed criticism of legal and illegal migration comes as many Americans recognize immigration’s metastasizing damage to Americans’ pocketbooks, children, housing, health, innovation, society, and confidence.
In Rubio’s Florida, for example, Gov. Ron DeSantis declared May 10:
Nobody has a right to immigrate to this country. We determine as Americans what type of immigration system benefits our country, but when you’re doing immigration, it’s not for their benefit as foreigners, it’s for your benefit as Americans.
So if there’s legal immigration that’s harming Americans, we shouldn’t do that either. For example, some of these H-1B visas, they would fire American tech workers and hire foreigners at lower wages. I don’t agree with that. I think that’s wrong.
Even the elitist Atlantic magazine posted a June 2 article spotlighting the link between investors and migration:
[Federal policymakers say] labor is just another commodity, like wood or oil, and Americans are best off when it is plentiful and cheap … American public policy has largely managed to keep things that way. Over the past 50 years, as both parties supported the entry of millions of unskilled immigrants and the offshoring of entire industries, America’s per capita gross domestic product more than doubled after adjusting for inflation. Productivity of labor rose by a similar amount, and corporate profits per capita nearly tripled. Yet over the same time period, the average inflation-adjusted hourly earnings of the typical worker rose by less than 1 percent.
This growing public skepticism is shredding the establishment’s 1950s “Nation of Immigrants” narrative.
For example, a June 3-6 YouGov poll of 1,500 citizens asked, “In general, do you think immigration makes the U.S. better off or worse off?” A 36 percent plurality of all respondents said immigration — legal and illegal — makes the country “worse off,” while just 31 percent said immigration makes the nation “better off.” Registered voters split 37 percent worse off, and 35 percent better off.
This sea-change in public opinion is colliding with the accelerated migration being pushed by President Joe Biden’s administration’s deputies, including his pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.
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.
Worse, the inflow of migrants extracted from poor countries reduces the incentive and ability of U.S. politicians, government officials, and business leaders to overcome their expanding political differences in ways that could help reduce Americans’ problems.
Biden and his deputies “are just giving up on Americans, and figuring the immigrants will replace them because they’re somehow better,” Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies, recently told Breitbart News. “It’s appalling and immoral.”
Four More Startling and Uncomfortable Ways Today’s Leftists Emulate the Nazis
We’re doing a shorter list today to properly detail each one of these commonalities.
It’s almost a relief to be able to dismiss some actions by the fascist far left that don’t fit the criteria for the discussion, since there are so many others piling up. Unfortunately, it’s also very distressing that much of what they are doing is in commonality with their ideological comrades of the National Socialist Workers' (Nazi) Party.
This list also shows how one of the main pillars of the left’s big lie falls apart under logical analysis.
1. Big corporations collaborated with the Nazis and now with big business collaborates with the Democrats.
The egregious actions of far-left corporations like Target and many others absolutely destroy one of the authoritarians’ big lies about the pro-freedom right. People imbued with the precepts of individual liberty and limited government supposedly are somehow connected to totalitarian collectivist groups displaying the exact opposite of those values. Since the pro-freedom right favors economic liberty and free enterprise, we’re closely tied to business. The vague leftist ‘logic’ is that this means that a government set with public/private partnerships is somehow ‘right wing’. So, keep this in mind whenever leftists bring up this ever-vague assertion that flies in the face of facts. But then again, the fascist far left has never let logic and common sense get in the way of a good lie.
2. Democrats and Nazis have a very disturbing affinity for guillotines.
This is one of those strange and very disturbing commonalities between the Democrat and Nazi parties. Guillotines are ‘featured’ in many an image and references from the fascist far left, “Homophobe Headrest.” On jewelry and T-shirts that were sold at Target.
Leftists love to hurl the ‘noose’ hate crime accusation just about any time someone ties a knot in a piece of rope. Parenthetically speaking, we noticed a loop in an overhead door pull the other day at a commercial garage, there isn’t much to them and they are everywhere. Compare to the extensive material and construction requirements to even build a fake Guillotine; there are many pieces and parts that have to be cut to size, pre-assembled for fit, and then disassembled, transported, and reassembled on site to threaten its intended victims.
3. Democrats and Nazis also follow the far-left’s fascination with skulls.
Following along the fascist far-left fascination with guillotines and satanism in Target merchandise, they also seem to have a strange affinity for skulls. Granted, this is seen in other areas, but for the far left, as with their affinity for guillotines, there is an implicit threat attached to these images.
We see this in the items that were sold at Target and in the ‘Death’s head’ decoration of the Schutzstaffel (SS) that ran the concentration camps. At least it made for a great way of mocking them in a very amusing Mitchell and Webb comedy sketch entitled: Are we the baddies? Something leftists should always be asking themselves.
4. Demonic or Democratic? The fascist far left and the occult
Let’s start with the satanic items that were sold by Target and that people can arbitrarily determine their sex or gender by acting as their own Deity. Even though some sources of the nation’s socialist media tried to play a little shell game in ‘debunking’ one story to discredit any others on the subject. The fact-checkers to the stars themselves had to sadly admit, it was all true:
"For me," the designer wrote on Instagram, "Satan is hope, compassion, equality, and love."
Further on in the ‘fact-check’:
It is true that Target had partnered with, and briefly sold, three items designed by Abprallen. The designer announced the partnership on Instagram on May 9, 2023. "I can now proudly announce that you can buy Abprallen in US Targets!" the designer posted. "Part one of the range includes a messenger bag, a tote, and a sweatshirt!"
The site had the integrity to rate the claim as True.
Another story entitled: Target falsely claimed to sell Satan-themed items referred to the same items and posted an image of them with a red ‘X’ drawn through it to make sure you get the wrong idea. Later on, we got the full story:
The retail giant pulled the merchandise as social media users described Abprallen as "Satanic," referencing his posts and designs that feature occult or devil-like imagery.
So, they sold the stuff at one time, but now that they don’t, the story is somehow ‘false.’ Don’t you love how leftists play with the language to say whatever they want?
We referred to some of the other items on guillotines and skulls, but there are more in the archives because the internet is forever.
Reverend Osagyefo Sekou is an avowed Antifa supporter who making up his own Bible verses:
“I head a voice from Heaven sayeth #DefundThePolice so they shalt be abolished from the Earth.” – 1 Minneapolis 1:1 (New Standard #Antifa Version),”
Now, some may quibble on the direct parallels between demonic Democratics and National Socialist Workers' (Nazi) Party, but does the form matter when you’re talking about evil?
This doesn’t even start on many of the other commonalities that are currently cropping up, but we’ll try to document those as well so maybe at some point the fascist far left’s biggest lie will finally be exposed to everyone.

The Atlantic Magazine: The Feds Use Migration to Cut Wages
The federal government uses immigration to suppress Americans’ salaries and wages, according to an article in the Atlantic, which is a very pro-migration and establishment magazine.
The federal policymakers believe that “labor is just another commodity, like wood or oil, and Americans are best off when it is plentiful and cheap,” the June 2 article says.
Author Oren Cass, the founder of the mainstream American Compass think-tank, wrote:
American public policy has largely managed to keep things that way. Over the past 50 years, as both parties supported the entry of millions of unskilled immigrants and the offshoring of entire industries, America’s per capita gross domestic product more than doubled after adjusting for inflation. Productivity of labor rose by a similar amount, and corporate profits per capita nearly tripled. Yet over the same time period, the average inflation-adjusted hourly earnings of the typical worker rose by less than 1 percent.
The massive distortion is revealed by the declining share of new wealth that goes to employees since about 1970.
Amid migration, technological centralization, and outsourcing to China, U.S. employees’ share of new wealth dropped 10 points from 1970 to 2014 — from 51.6 percent to 41.9 percent — according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
Employees’ share jumped 1 point up under President Donald Trump’s lower-migration policy. But their share seems to be declining again under President Joe Biden’s easy migration rules.
A May 4 report from Cass’ American Compass showed how migration allows investors to minimize pay to workers:
From 1972 to 2022, real corporate profits per capita rose 185%. GDP per capita rose 141%. Productivity rose 135%. The average hourly wage for production and nonsupervisory workers rose 1%. How is that even possible?
It is possible because employers will tend to raise wages under one, and only one, condition: when they cannot hire the workers they need at the existing wage. All of labor economics turns on that simple fact.
This post-1970 economic shift has moved many trillions of dollars from wage earners to investors from 1970 to 2023, thrilling investors and their allies.
The establishment’s cheap-labor bubble burst in 2020 when the coronavirus crash blocked the supply of new migrant workers. The resulting shortfall allowed many Americans to change jobs in search of higher wages.
Cass wrote:
In the coronavirus pandemic’s aftermath, for the first time in a long time, many employers are discovering that they can’t fill jobs at the low wages they’re accustomed to offering. “We hear from businesses every day that the worker shortage is their top challenge,” Neil Bradley, chief policy officer at U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said last May. This is the precise circumstance under which wages might finally rise. Instead, the business community is looking to government to get them out of a jam, and leaders on both sides of the aisle seem only too eager to help.
The article carried an online headline, “A Labor Shortage is a Great Problem to Have.”

But now President Joe Biden and his deputies are dramatically opening the inflow of foreign workers via legal, quasi-legal, and illegal migration routes.
“Immigration is a [policy] lever,” Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo told Axios.com in December 2022. “We’re down a million immigrants a year — that’s a workforce that we need.”
“There are businesses around this country that are desperate for workers [and] there are … desperate workers in foreign countries that are looking for jobs in the United States, ” Biden’s border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, said on May 11.
“We’re working with the State Department on and DHS [Department of Homeland Security] … to make it easier for [college-graduate migrants] that have these skill sets that we think can really contribute to implementing these new policies, that we can bring them in faster,” White House official Katie Tobin said on May 15.
Cass continued:
This is a grave mistake—politically, economically, and morally. If employers are struggling to find workers, they should offer better pay and conditions. If that comes at the expense of some profits, or requires some prices to rise, well, that’s how markets are supposed to work. In most other contexts, capitalism’s proponents celebrate how the market creates incentives for businesses to solve problems. In that respect, a labor shortage is a great problem to have. Only by challenging employers to improve job quality and boost productivity will we find out what the market’s awesome power can achieve for American workers and their families.
Cass, however, did not offer a term to describe the federal government’s policy of lowering wages via migration.
The migrant inflow has successfullyforced down Americans’ wages and alsoboosted rentsandhousing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and contributed to therising death rateof 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 alsoreduces the politicalcloutof native-born Americans, because the population replacement allows elites to divorce themselves fromthe needsandinterestsof 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 toan August 2022 pollcommissioned 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.
WAR ON THE AMERICAN WORKER FOR CHEAPER WAGES. IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS?
LAYOFFS IN TECH INCREASED 390% from a year ago - The housing market will likely be impacted
The nation’s biggest tech conglomerates continued hiring foreign workers through the H-1B visa program, even as they carried out mass layoffs of American employees, investigative reporter Lee Fang details.
Since the start of the year, hundreds of thousands of Americans in tech jobs have been laid off, with about 12,000 cut at Google, 10,000 out at Microsoft, close to 20,000 laid off at Amazon, and 10,000 cut from Meta Platforms which owns Facebook and Instagram.
Just weeks after announcing such layoffs, though, the same tech corporations continued hiring foreign workers on the H-1B visa program — known as the “outsourcing visa” to many Americans.
Silicon Valley’s biggest tech corporations are continuing mass layoffs in the U.S., even as they import more than 34,000 foreign H-1B visa workers to take coveted white-collar jobs in STEM fields, new analysis shows. https://t.co/tfbWMag418
Sundar Pichai, the chief executive of Google, wrote a solemn letter in January, announcing his company’s decision to lay off 12,000 employees. [Emphasis added]
…
Just one month later, Pichai’s firm filed applications for low-paid foreign workers to come to America and take highly specialized tech jobs. Google filed dozens of applications for foreign workers to serve as software engineers, analytical consultants, user experience researchers, and other roles. Waymo, the self-driving car company owned by Google, also filed and received visa applications for engineering jobs. Many of the Google visas are for new employees, with some starting as soon as August 17th. [Emphasis added]
Newly disclosed data released yesterday by the Department of Labor shows thousands of recent H1-B foreign worker visas requested by firms that just underwent massive layoffs this year, including Facebook/Meta Platforms, Amazon, Zoom, Salesforce, Microsoft, and Palantir. [Emphasis added]
That newly published data from Lee Fang matches similar research conducted by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), detailed by Breitbart News last month, which found that the top 30 tech corporations had announced a combined 85,000 layoffs while at the same time importing nearly 35,000 foreign H-1B visa workers to take coveted white-collar American jobs.
For years, Breitbart News has chronicled the abuses against white-collar American professionals as a result of the H-1B visa program. There are about 650,000 H-1B visa foreign workers in the U.S. at any given moment. Americans are often laid off in the process and forced to train their foreign replacements, as highlighted by Breitbart News.
“Rather than turning to the H-1B program as a last resort when U.S. workers cannot be found, most employers hire H-1B workers because they can be underpaid and are de facto indentured to the employer,” EPI researchers Daniel Costa and Ron Hira write.
“This is evidenced by government data showing that technology companies continue to hire H-1B workers in large numbers while significantly reducing the sizes of their workforces,” they continue.
The H-1B visa program has caught scrutiny from Republicans for years, though not much has been done to eliminate outsourcing from corporations.
While president in 2020, for example, Donald Trump enacted reforms to require companies seeking foreign H-1B visa workers to offer the highest salaries possible and also saved a number of Americans’ jobs at the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) from being outsourced to foreign H-1B visa workers.
Trump is currently the frontrunner in the GOP presidential primary race.
Likewise, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who announced his presidential candidacy this month, has criticized the H-1B visa program for its favoritism to multinational corporations against white-collar American professionals.
“… if there’s legal immigration that’s harming Americans, we shouldn’t do that either,” DeSantis said during a press conference this month. “For example, some of these H-1B visas, they would fire American tech workers and hire foreigners at lower wages. I don’t agree with that. I think that’s wrong.”
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), running for the United States Senate in Indiana, previously put forth a blueprint for reforming the H-1B visa program — many provisions of which were backed by former Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) when he served as a ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Banks bill would set a wage floor of $110,000 that companies would have to offer foreign H-1B visa workers or pay hires the same salary currently being paid to Americans doing the same job. Companies offering the highest salaries would be prioritized in the process.
Similarly, companies would be greatly limited in contracting with so-called “body shops” to replace their American employees with imported foreign H-1B visa workers under the Banks legislation.

Companies in the United States have announced, so far this year, more than 400,000 layoffs — more than the layoffs announced in all of last year. The job cuts come as Democrats, on behalf of business special interests, demand more foreign competition in the labor market for employers to hire.
The employment data, collected by Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. and published in Bloomberg, shows that roughly 417,500 layoffs have been announced from January through May by U.S. companies across sectors such as technology, banking, retail, and media, among others.
Compare those announced layoffs in just the first five months of this year to the 364,000 total layoffs announced in all of 2022. In tech, there have been almost 140,000 layoffs announced this year so far. This is only slightly fewer than the 169,000 layoffs in tech in 2001.
“Companies cited economic conditions and cost-cutting for more than half of the layoffs announced this year,” Bloomberg noted.

At the same time, Democrats across the U.S. have suggested that business special interests complain about so-called labor shortages and thus the tens of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens that President Joe Biden’s administration is admitting into the nation every month ought to be given immediate work permits.e email you provide.

“We have one message, let them work,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) told the Biden administration last month of the thousands of migrants who have arrived in the city since last year. “That is our clear message that we are sending.

In Washington, DC, Democrats recently repeated many of the same talking points from the Business Roundtable and U.S. Chamber of Commerce used to demand an endless flow of foreign workers whom jobless Americans would be forced to compete against.
“We’re ignoring the Business Roundtables of America who are crying out for employees to work alongside Americans,” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) said during a committee hearing last month. “Let me be very clear, we have jobs for Americans, we have tech jobs for Americans, teaching jobs for Americans, law enforcement, firefighter jobs for Americans, but we’re a growing nation.”
As Breitbart News has chronicled, Biden has grown the U.S. payrolls by adding millions of foreign-born workers to the labor market while the share of native-born Americans in the labor market has continued to decline.

California State Senate Passes Bill to Give Illegal Migrants Unemployment Checks
California’s State Senate passed a bill last week to give unemployed illegal migrants $300 weekly unemployment checks for up to 20 weeks, despite the fact that the state faces a $32 billion budget deficit.
California’s fiscus has fallen in the space of one year from a surplus of $100 billion, partly based on federal cash for coronavirus relief, to a staggering deficit of $32 billion.
In his revised budget, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) cautioned legislators to maintain “prudence.” But under SB 227, “excluded” workers who are in the country illegally would be able to receive $300 per week in benefits.
…
California’s unemployment insurance program is already controversial, having lost $30 billion in fraudulent claims during the pandemic. The state recently defaulted on a federal loan to cover a shortfall in benefits.
Now, the Washington Free Beacon reports, the bill, SB 227, proposed by State Sen. María Elena Durazo (D-Agoura Hills), has passed the State Senate and moves to the Assembly, with heavy potential implications:
Under SB 227, unemployment fund officials would be barred from asking for claimants’ social security number eligibility or contacting past or present employers to verify their job status. Instead, applicants would self-attest that they meet the requirements for the weekly checks: having earned at least $1,300 or worked at least 93 hours over three months. Acceptable documentation would include tax returns, transaction logs on payment apps, and receipts that show a commuting pattern.
The State Senate passed the measure just months after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D.) said the undocumented migrant influx could “break” California.

The Golden State already offers free health coverage and driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. More than two million illegal immigrants live in California.

The corporate media has railed against the elderly, endorsing dying early. This was visible in the campaign for the pro-corporate health plan Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act) in which the New York Times spearheaded this narrative. The result of Obamacare was to contribute to a decrease in life expectancy. One of the chief architects of Obamacare, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, openly advocated for a reduction in life expectancy.

Brooks: I Hear from White House Biden’s Not a ‘Doddering’ Grandpa, He Can Be ‘Mean’ ‘and a Very Harsh Boss’
On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks stated that he thinks President Joe Biden’s staff overprotects him and that the President should be out in public more. Brooks also said that from what he hears from inside the Biden White House, the President’s “not a doddering old grandpa either.” And Biden “can be a very tough, mean guy and a very harsh boss sometimes.”
Brooks said, “[L]onger-term…I do think Biden is still underexposed. I think his staff is still overprotective of him. And he’s much smarter in public than a lot of people think — in private. And so, I do think they need to let him get out more, because it’s just not good for the presidency for him to be that much in the shadow of Donald Trump.”
He added, “I will say, from what I hear inside the White House, he’s not a doddering old grandpa either. He’s like — can be a very tough, mean guy and a very harsh boss sometimes. So, he could say [he’s overprotected]. But he might be trusting or maybe he wants to be as quiet and frankly, as closed in, as he’s been.”
