Joe Biden Celebrates 11 Years of DACA Program: Illegal Aliens ‘Are Americans’
President Joe Biden is celebrating the 11th anniversary of former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that has allowed nearly 800,000 illegal aliens to evade arrest and deportation.
In a statement on Thursday, Biden commemorated the program by saying that the millions of illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for DACA “are Americans” despite their not having United States citizenship and flouting federal immigration law.
“Eleven years ago on this day, President Obama and I announced the DACA program to allow young people to live and work in the only country they’ve called home … DREAMers are Americans,” Biden said:
Many have spent the majority of their lives in the United States. They are our doctors, our teachers, and our small business owners. DREAMers strengthen our economy, enrich our workplaces, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, many served their communities on the frontlines. [Emphasis added]
As Breitbart News reported last year, standards for the DACA program were set so low by the Obama administration that from 2012 to 2018, about 53,792 illegal aliens were awarded DACA despite having prior arrest records. Meanwhile, nearly 8,000 illegal aliens awarded DACA were later arrested for crimes, the data shows.
More than 30 illegal aliens were given DACA status despite having previously been arrested for rape. Ten illegal aliens, likewise, were awarded DACA after having been arrested for murder, and 95 illegal aliens after having been arrested for kidnapping.
Biden noted that his administration is opening Affordable Care Act benefits, known as Obamacare and subsidized by American taxpayers, and Medicaid to DACA illegal aliens, even as Obama, in 2012, vowed that illegal aliens would not be eligible for Obamacare.
American taxpayers could be charged about $2.8 billion every year to provide Obamacare to every DACA illegal alien in the U.S. Biden said he hopes the move will push Congress to approve an amnesty for DACA illegal aliens.
“My administration is committed to providing DREAMers the opportunities and support they need to succeed,” Biden said. “… only Congress can provide permanent and lasting stability for these young people and their families. Congress must act to protect our DREAMers.”
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement that the agency, under his leadership, will continue advocating on behalf of DACA illegal aliens.
“The Department of Homeland Security will continue to advocate on behalf of DACA recipients every day, in the courts and through our actions, until Congress provides an enduring solution,” Mayorkas said.
In February, Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) introduced an amnesty plan to give green cards, and eventually naturalized American citizenship, to the nearly two million illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for DACA.

FACT CHECK: DHS Touts Drop in Migrant Encounters After Title 42, Ushers 50K in Through ‘Lawful Pathways’
The Department of Homeland Security claims the Biden-Harris administration’s comprehensive plan to manage the border after the expiration of Title 42 resulted in a significant reduction in encounters at the Southwest Border. Migrant arrests by the Border Patrol have dropped from nearly 11,000 per day to 3,400 on average between May 12 to June 2, 2023. The statement ignores some facts that need clarification.
In a statement released on Tuesday, DHS claims, “unlawful entries between ports of entry along the Southwest Border have decreased by more than 70 percent since May 11.” That statement alone may be quickly challenged when read literally. Unlawful entries consist of not only those migrants that are apprehended by the Border Patrol but also those who evade detection and capture known as got-aways.
As reported exclusively by Breitbart Texas, during the month of May, more than 50,000 known migrant got-aways were reported by the Border Patrol. That number is an approximation reached using manned and unmanned aerial platforms, sensor and camera technology, and old-fashioned boots-on-the-ground tracking by Border Patrol agents performing routine patrols. For the month of May, an average of more than 1,600 migrants managed to unlawfully enter the United States each day according to a Border Patrol report reviewed by Breitbart Texas.
To accurately state with any specificity that unlawful entries between ports of entry have decreased or increased would also need to factor in the impossible task of accurately calculating the unknown, or undetected got-aways. Some of those who fit this category may include those migrants who are encountered away from the immediate border region by other law enforcement agencies as they attempt to move into the interior.
As reported by Breitbart Texas, law enforcement sources are reporting migrant smuggling traffic has returned to near pre-Title 42 levels in recent weeks. In one South Texas county near the border, some 15 migrant smuggling cases were interdicted on rural roadways in a 7-day period. Zavala County Sheriff’s Office deputies continue to deal with high-speed pursuits, injuries, and significant private property damage as a result.
The drop in encounters does not factor in those migrants who are now allowed to openly enter through eight designated ports of entry along the southwest border with Mexico. Migrants who schedule an appointment through the CBP One application are allowed to enter and pursue asylum claims after providing biographical information and presenting a basic claim of fear.
In Tuesday’s DHS statement, the department listed the number of admissions granted through using the system.
“Through CBP One, an average of 1,070 noncitizens presented in a safe and orderly manner at a port of entry each day to be processed during their scheduled appointment time. CBP has, as of June 1, expanded the number of appointments available to 1,250 each day.”
Migrants requesting entry are processed in the same manner as would be accomplished by Border Patrol agents using CBP Officers at the eight designated ports of entry. DHS has described the program as one of several “lawful pathways” to avoid entering unlawfully between ports of entry. The tactic also serves to reduce the number of encounters along the Southwest border.
In yet another “lawful pathway” program specifically designated for Haitian, Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, and Cuban migrants, some 23,000 applicants were admitted through ports of entry, further reducing the official encounter numbers.
A more accurate assessment regarding the conditions and levels of migrant crossings along the border post Title 42 would indicate an average of more than 7,000 migrant entries per day between May 12 and June 2, 2023, when considering the number of migrant encounters, the known reported got-aways, and the number of migrants diverted to ports of entry under “lawful pathways.” A slight reduction from the immediate lead-up to the expiration of Title 42 authority, but still an ominous number.
To conclude the statement, DHS punts the ball on the administration’s responsibility to control the southwest border by stating, “It is abundantly clear that executive action cannot solve the entrenched challenge of migration in our region, and that neither party can address its impact on our border by itself. Until and unless Congress comes together in a bipartisan way to address our broken immigration and asylum system, we will continue to see surges in migration at our border.”

Biden Offers Work-Permit Giveaway to India’s White-Collar Migrants
President Joe Biden’s deputies quietly announced a work permit giveaway on Wednesday that would allow hundreds of thousands of white-collar temporary workers from India to permanently compete against American graduates for jobs and careers.
The giveaway for many Indian H-1B, L-1, and O-1 temporary workers was announced on the same day that House GOP members issued a report that completely ignored migration’s vast damage to Americans’ wages and salaries.
The GOP report is intended to help build public support for the impeachment of Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas. But the GOP report, titled, “Causes, Costs, and Consequences: Why Secretary Mayorkas Must Be Investigated For His Border Crisis,” did not include the words “wages,” salaries,” “pocketbook” or “rents.”
Biden’s new stealth giveaway — and an effective amnesty from existing legal limits — will likely release several hundred thousand Indian workers from their long-term, indentured-service contracts with Fortune 500 subcontractors.
The release will allow those ethnically linked workers to cooperatively compete for a wide variety of other careers sought by isolated young and middle-aged American graduates. Nationwide, more than one million white-collar jobs are held by legal or illegal college-graduate migrants, many of whom got their jobs via many types of fraud.
The flood of extra workers will help investors bump many young American graduates from career-starting opportunities and to push down their depressed salaries. It will also expand the discriminatory ethnic hiring by Indian-born predatory managers in many Fortune 500 companies and their subcontractors.
The giveaway comes as U.S. tech companies and universities are firing many American graduates while importing another annual wave of about 100,000 H-1B visa workers.
GOP politicians — including President Donald Trump — have ignored this massive damage to the U.S. middle-class since it began in 1990. But this GOP silence is self-defeating for GOP candidates because the victims are the swing-voting, white-collar professionals who have given Democrats their victory margins in suburbs around the nation.
The U.S. media will hide the Biden giveaway because establishment editors do not have the workplace authority to describe the damage to their white-collar peers and their own kids. Worse, many younger reporters prefer to tout the investor-magnified concerns of economic migrants.
The June 14 work-permit giveaway is included in agency instructions to officials telling them they can award renewable work permits to the temporary workers in “compelling circumstances.”
But Mayorkas expanded the definition of “compelling circumstances” to include the normal expiration of foreign workers’ visas and the scheduled expiration of the workers’ contract jobs.
“They’re setting it up really so anyone can qualify,” responded Jessica Vaughan, the policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies.
The giveaway was announced by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency, which is part of Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security. The June 14 statement said:
The guidance covers compelling circumstances for principal applicants and their dependents and provides a non-exhaustive list of situations that could lead to a finding that compelling circumstances exist, including serious illness and disability, employer dispute or retaliation, other substantial harm to the applicant, or significant disruption to the employer.
…
Compelling circumstances could include, if, due to job loss, the family may otherwise be forced to sell their home for a loss, pull their children out of school, and relocate to their home country.
The rule even says the workers should be given valuable renewable work permits because their temporary visas are expiring on schedule, said Vaughan.
The language says, “If the basis for something being here on a temporary work visa goes away and the person would have to move back to their home country, that’s a compelling circumstance for them to stay here,” she said, adding, “that’s absurd.”
It “looks like a huge change,” said David Bier at the business-backed Cato Institute.
“This is just another attempt to get around the limits on immigration that Congress put into law,” Vaughan said.
Those limits include a cap of 140,000 green cards for foreign workers hired by U.S. companies. But for many years, U.S. agencies have allowed U.S. companies to annually recruit far more than 140,000 foreign workers for U.S. jobs by dangling promises of deferred payment in the form of hugely valuable U.S. green cards and citizenship.
The predictable result is the creation of a roughly 1 million-strong foreign white-collar workforce who are tied to lower-wage jobs by their employers’ dangled promises of an eventual green card.
The workforce is mostly Indian, partly because India’s government has worked closely with Fortune 500 investors to fill up subcontracted jobs with export Indian workers. These Indian workers move into Americans’ jobs via the uncapped H-1B and L-1 visa programs, and via the uncapped supply of OPT, CPT, and H4EAD work permits.
That huge Indian workforce has severely distorted the U.S. market for white-collar workers. It lowers white-collar wages nationwide, turbocharges the export of jobs to India, disastrously subordinates professionals under C-Suite executives, and reduces pressure on investors to raise productivity, innovation, and foreign investment outside India.
The giveaway is also an economic swap for India’s premier minister, Narendra Modi. He is expected to visit Biden on June 22 for a high-status state dinner when officials will announce high-tech sales to India. The pending swap is a boon for high-tech investors — but a disaster for U.S. college graduates.
Congress has repeatedly blocked lobbying campaigns to accelerate the inflow of foreign graduates into white-collar jobs. So Biden’s deputies have repeatedly used their bureaucratic power to expand the inflow.
The expansions have survived repeated lawsuits filed by Americans, said Vaughan. GOP legislators could use their spending power to block the giveaways, she said, but they face closed-door pressure from donors to not fight the giveaways.
So far, there is no evidence whatsoever that the federal government — or the establishment media — has recognized the obvious and massive costs of this white-collar outsourcing to India.
For example, the GOP’s June 14 report usefully described the huge impact of illegal migration on crime, migrant deaths, government spending, and drug smuggling. The report, subtitled, “The Massive Financial Costs of Mayorkas’ Open Borders,” said:
The human cost, both to American citizens and those journeying to the border, has been incalculable.
Increasingly, Americans are also suffering from the strain of the financial costs imposed by this mass illegal immigration.
The border crisis has had an unprecedented and devastating effect on American states, cities, and small towns, particularly the schools, businesses, hospitals, law enforcement agencies, and other public service providers who have limited resources to deal with this massive influx of illegal aliens.
Simultaneously, as cities and states shoulder more costs required to handle this historic burden, many of the illegal aliens released into American communities are consuming far more in taxpayer funded benefits than they are ever giving back.
But the report entirely ignores the role of migration in the government’s economic policies, and it ignores the huge pocketbook damage of migration on Americans. That pocketbook damage, however, inflates investors‘ profits and stock values.
House GOP legislators are under intense pressure to ignore the economics and pocketbook cost of migration.
The pressure comes from influential businesses in their districts, as well as from their GOP leaders, who rely on major business donors to keep pace with the Demoacrats’ income from major business donors. Most of the GOP’s donations come via Congressional Leadership Fund, which includes many manufacturing, retail, and real estate investors.
GOP leaders in the Senate — such as Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) — are somewhat freer to talk about the pocketbook impact of migration. For example, Rubio wrote:
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.
So far, only Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has criticized the investors’ H-1B program in the 2024 campaign. On May 10, for example, he said:
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.
Meanwhile, Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, is trying to import more foreigners to take the blue-collar and white-collar wages and salaries that would otherwise go to the ordinary Americans who have seen their wages drop since President Donald Trump left office.
“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, ” Mayorkas said on May 11.
“We currently have at least ten million job vacancies right now in the United States,” including jobs in the government-funded computer-chip sector, White House official Katie Tobin claimed during a May speech at the American Enterprise Insitute, adding:
But this does create a demand for increased high-skilled labor from other parts of the world, and so that is something that we’re working with the State Department on and DHS [Department of Homeland Security] … to make it easier for [migrants] that have these skill sets that we think can really contribute to implementing these new policies, that we can bring them in faster (emphasis added).
Biden’s deputies “are distorting our legal immigration system … to launder the status of virtually any foreign citizen who makes it into the country,” said Vaughan.
Once the new work-permit giveaway is in operation, “I can’t imagine any circumstance in which they’d say no on the application,” she added.
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.
