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.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is introducing a plan to end the nation’s anchor baby policy that rewards the United States-born children of illegal aliens with birthright American citizenship, Breitbart News can exclusively reveal.
Annually, nearly 400,000 “anchor babies,” the term used to describe the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens, are delivered across all 50 states.
Anchor babies are rewarded with birthright citizenship despite their parents having no legitimate ties to the U.S., many having only recently arrived. Years later, when the child is considered an adult, they can sponsor their parents and foreign relatives for green cards — anchoring their family in the country for generations.
On Tuesday, Breitbart News learned Gaetz is filing the “End Birthright Citizenship Fraud Act of 2023” which amends the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to clarify birthright citizenship is solely for the U.S.-born children of American citizens and legal immigrants.
“Birthright citizenship has been grossly and blatantly misapplied for decades, recently becoming a loophole for illegal aliens to fraudulently abuse our immigration system,” Gaetz said in a statement:
My legislation recognizes that American citizenship is a privilege –– not an automatic right to be co-opted by illegal aliens.
This is an important step in preserving the sanctity of American citizenship and ensures that citizenship is not treated as a loophole to be exploited but rather a privilege to be earned when legally migrating to our country.
To date, the U.S. Supreme Court has never explicitly ruled that the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens must be granted birthright citizenship, and a number of legal scholars dispute the idea.
Many leading conservative scholars argue the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment does not provide mandatory birthright citizenship to the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens or noncitizens, because these children are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction as that language was understood when the 14th Amendment was ratified.
The U.S. and Canada are among only a handful of developed nations, mostly in North and South America, that have a birthright citizenship policy for anyone, regardless of immigration status, born within its physical borders.
Nations like Australia, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, and Spain, among others, reserve birthright citizenship for children born to at least one citizen parent.
Today there are about 5.8 million anchor babies in the U.S. — a population six times that of Jacksonville, Florida. Anchor babies and their illegal alien parents cost American taxpayers more than $150 billion annually.

DHS Deputy: Biden’s Border Policy Expands Cartels’ Wealth and Reach
A top official at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has admitted the federal government’s catch-and-release policies are helping the cartels grow rich by ushering more of their migrant clients into American jobs.
The admissions came from Blas Nunez-Neto, who is Alejandro Mayorkas’ deputy for border and immigration policy at DHS:
We see migrants now routinely paying smuggling organizations vast sums of money — often more than $10,000 to $15,000 — to facilitate their journey to the border. This is so lucrative [for the cartels], in fact, that we are now seeing the drug cartels increasingly becoming a key player in not just collecting taxes for people who transit through their territory [in Northern Mexico] — which is what we saw historically — but actually moving people and becoming deeply involved in human smuggling, not just in Mexico, but throughout the region, including, you know, in [South America’s] Colombia and Darien [Gap] region.
The cartels’ expanding business is built on their ability to deliver U.S. jobs to the clients, Nunez-Neto admitted:
Why would someone pay that much money to come to the border? And I think the simple answer is that … once they’re in the immigration court system and they have filed the requisite [asylum] paperwork, they are eligible for Employment Authorization — which is obviously something that we support — but that means that they have years to live in the U.S. and go through the [asylum] process and earn money and support their family members back home during that process … I think we are seeing the [asylum] court system essentially become a proxy legal pathway for people to come into the United States and work while they’re here.
The DHS’s creation of a huge backlog of asylum claims also incentivizes further migration, Nunez-Neto acknowledged. “It is clear that the length of time is now taking to get through the immigration court process has become a significant pull factor [emphasis added] that is driving migration throughout the region,” he said, adding:
I think we are seeing the court system, essentially become a proxy legal pathway for people to come into the United States and work while they’re here … and it’s leading to these huge backlogs that we are seeing in the courts as well.
His comments echo a critical June 30 report by the acting ombudsman at the DHS agency responsible for processing migration claims, which said that the agency’s “growing humanitarian workload” has ensured:
processing times [for asylum claims by arrriving migrants] are likely now approaching a decade as backlogs in that humanitarian program now stand at 842,000 and are projected to reach historical records of over 1 million by the end of calendar year 2024.
The delays are a win for the migrants who know their asylum claims are bogus, Nunez-Neto noted:.
All of these factors together, I think, are just drawing people to come because even if someone is ordered removed after four to six years, that is still a substantial amount of time for people to be able to be in the United States and working.
The backlog has grown because Mayorkas and his deputies have ignored Congress’ law which requires migrants to be detained until their asylum claims are decided. Instead, they portray migration as a humanitarian issue and a logistics problem that is best answered by registering the migrants and releasing them into the U.S. labor market.
FLASHBACK: Return of “Catch and Release” Driving Migrant Surge to U.S., Says Texas Border City Mayor
Breitbart Texas
0 seconds of 3 minutes, 15 secondsVolume 90%
That catch-and-release process reassures potential migrants that they will be released to get the jobs they need to repay high-interest smuggling debts to the murderous cartels.
“Our immigration policy is objectively allied with the cartels and has been for a long time,” responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, adding that President Joe Biden’s deputies’ unwillingness:
to enforce the law makes them objective allies of the smuggling gangs … Obviously, these people are not monsters. They don’t enjoy people being locked up in stash houses and the rest of it, but they cannot bring themselves to accept the fact that they’re soft-headed view of migration is objectively false. It just doesn’t work.
Millions of rational migrants pay the cartels because they want U.S. jobs, no matter how much Biden’s deputies portray the migration as a humanitarian crisis, he added:
People aren’t going to undertake enormous expenses and risks unless there’s a decent chance of a payoff. You can say, for instance, that playing a lottery is irrational… But if the lottery had a 70 percent chance of payoffs, you bet you’d put thousands of dollars into it, especially if you didn’t have a lot of other opportunities. Migrants are playing a lottery — but they’re playing a lottery that has a very high likelihood of payoff.
Argentinian-born Nuñez-Neto made the admissions during a July 20 online conversation hosted by the pro-migration Migration Policy Institute.
The Cartel/Asylum Problem
Nunez-Neto said the administration is trying to fix the cartel problem by dramatically expanding the migrant-processing asylum systems to keep pace with the dramatic increase since 2021. “We’re just simply not resourced to keep pace with the changing demographics and just the increase in numbers that we’ve seen at the border,” he said.
But the agency will never be able to quickly process the migrants who pay the cartels to deliver them into U.S. jobs, Krikorian said.
Every human being in the United States could become an immigration judge, and you still couldn’t handle the demand because there is for all practical purposes unlimited [worldwide] demand [for the cartels’ delivery services] … If today’s illegal flow is accommodated — which is what the administration’s instinct is — then it will inevitably increase and you end up with Lucy in the Chocolate Factory. The only way to address it is to reduce the incentives that bring people here to begin with. Nothing else can work and nothing else will work.
Instead, Nunez-Neto described the migration problem as a humanitarian problem that creates risks to Biden’s poll ratings:
I think in general, our approach has been that we would like to see individuals using safe and orderly pathways and processes to come into the country … We think there’s a significant public benefit associated with channeling people into these lawful processes and reducing, importantly, the number of encounters [with illegal migrants] we see in between ports of entry who end up in the immigration court system.
The logistics perspective helps explain why the administration is trying to grab market share from the cartels by offering lower-cost and safer alternative routes into U.S. workplaces. But the cartels are also using these quasi-legal pathways — such as the CBP One sidedoor in the border — to get their paying clients into U.S. jobs.
Many of Biden’s migrants are pitiable, many are admirable, and most are eager to work, and all were unlucky to be born outside the United States. For example, the Los Angeles Timesreported:
Mary Otaiyi, 33, of Nigeria, carried her sleeping 4-year-old on her back while holding her 10-year-old’s hand. She said they had flown to Brazil, then walked and bused through Bolivia, Peru and onward into Mexico, taking a month to get to America.
”I came for a good life for my kids,” she said. “I have no relatives here and no job in Nigeria.”
But the Democrats’ easy-migration policies are deliberately adding the foreigners’ problems to the lengthening list of Americans’ problems.
Also, many migrants are getting caught in high-interest debt traps enforced by cartel members who are living in the United States. This new “debt bondage” business allows the cartels to continue extracting more wealth from migrants in the United States. “Let’s say, a [migrant] person is paid $400 a week,” said Jessica Vaughan, a policy director at Krikorian’s CIS:
So $400 a week, minus this for your smuggling fee, minus this for the room that I’m giving you, minus this work on the food that I’m giving you, minus money for transportation, so they’re left with nothing, and the debt can never be repaid.
The underlying problem is that Nunez-Neto and Biden’s other deputies won’t fix the asylum problem and other loopholes used by the cartels, said Krikorian:
I think his admission has to lead to the conclusion that asylum itself has to be fundamentally reworked… It’s a post-World War Two anachronism. You know, we’re not doing anything else like we did in 1951. Why would this policy that was designed for an entirely different world still in place? ….When it was few hundred Russian ballerinas [claiming asylum], it didn’t make any difference. But now that [migration via] asylum has become a fundamental threat to the sovereignty of developed countries, not just the U.S., but Europe and Israel and Australia
Biden’s deputies, he said, are viscerally unable to solve the problem, Krikorian added:
They’re going to continue to engage in wishful thinking while hoping that some Tweet will fix the problem. They are unwilling to face the cognitive dissonance between their immigration policy preferences and objective reality. Maybe at some point, we’ll get a person or person or persons in authority who see actually draw the conclusion and change their policy views, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Certainly, not anybody who wants to keep their job.
While Congress fails to act, Krikorian said, rational migrants join with the cartels to move into the United States: “They’re ordinary folks who are making perfectly rational decisions given the incentives that we have created.”
Biden Admin Weighs Dropping Sanctions on China in Exchange for Fentanyl Cooperation

The Biden administration may drop sanctions on a Chinese police forensics institute, allowing it access to U.S. technology, to entice China to cooperate in fighting the fentanyl crisis, sources told the Wall Street Journal.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken during his diplomatic visit to Beijing last month suggested China and the United States create a working group to combat fentanyl. But China has long demanded the United States remove the police institute from its export blacklist before it will cooperate on the drug crisis, and the regime stuck to its position in last month’s meetings. Now, sources told the Journal, the administration is considering complying with China's demand.
The Trump administration blacklisted the Chinese Ministry of Public Security’s Institute of Forensic Science more than three years ago for its role in the surveillance and abuse of Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang province. The sanctions tool strictly limits access by backlisted companies and organizations to U.S. technology.
The U.S. ambassador to China recently claimed the country is not responsible for the U.S. fentanyl crisis, despite the fact that nearly all ingredients for the drug are produced in China. The ingredients, often called precursors, are shipped to Mexican cartels that manufacture the fentanyl and push it across the U.S. southern border.
Overdoses from fentanyl have become one of the leading causes of death in the United States. In 2021, there were 71,000 deaths involving synthetic opioids, which were mostly fentanyl.
The Biden administration has fought an amendment to Congress’s annual defense bill seeking new information on China’s responsibility for the crisis.
The discussions are the latest signals of the Biden administration’s bid for cooperation with China. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen dismissed the idea of "decoupling" with China during her visit to the country earlier this month, instead calling for less sweeping policy moves such as "diversifying critical supply chains or taking targeted national security actions." U.S. special envoy on climate John Kerry traveled to China last week seeking cooperation on climate goals but returned home empty-handed.
His statement came during a visit to Mexico by Liz Sherwood-Randall, the White House homeland security adviser, to discuss the fentanyl crisis. It also comes amid calls by some U.S. Republicans to use the U.S. military to attack drug labs in Mexico.
The Mexican government has acknowledged in the past that fentanyl is produced at labs in Mexico using precursor chemicals imported from China. Fentanyl has been blamed for about 70,000 opioid deaths per year in the United States.
“Here, we do not produce fentanyl, and we do not have consumption of fentanyl,” López Obrador said. “Why don't they (the United States) take care of their problem of social decay?"
He went on to recite a list of reasons why Americans might be turning to fentanyl, including single-parent families, parents who kick grown children out of their houses and people who put elderly relatives in old-age homes “and visit them once a year.”
His statement contrasted sharply with a Thursday tweet from U.S. Ambassador Ken Salazar saying a meeting between Sherwood-Randall and Mexico's attorney general was meant “to enhance security cooperation and fight against the scourge of fentanyl to better protect our two nations.”
There is little debate among U.S. and even Mexican officials that almost all the fentanyl consumed in the United States is produced and processed in Mexico.
In February, the Mexican army announced it seized more than a half million fentanyl pills in what it called the largest synthetic drug lab found to date. The army said the outdoor lab was discovered in Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state.
In the same city in 2021, the army raided a lab that it said probably made about 70 million of the blue fentanyl pills every month for the Sinaloa cartel.
“The president is lying,” said Mexican security analyst David Saucedo. “The Mexican cartels, above all the CJNG ( Jalisco New Generation Cartel) and the Sinaloa Cartel have learned to manufacture it.”
“They themselves buy the precursor chemicals, set up laboratories to produce fentanyl and distribute it to cities in the United States and sell it,” Saucedo said. “Little by little they have begun to build a monopoly on fentanyl, because the Mexican cartels are present along the whole chain of production and sales.”
While it is true that fentanyl consumption appears to remain low in Mexico and largely confined to northern border areas, that may be because the Mexican government is so bad at detecting it. A 2019 study in the border city of Tijuana showed that 93% of samples of methamphetamines and heroin there contained some fentanyl.
Saucedo said fentanyl exports to the U.S. are so lucrative for Mexican cartels that they previously had not seen a need to develop a domestic market for the drug.
“It is true that fentanyl consumption in Mexico is marginal, but some mid-level cartels have begun selling it in border cities and in big cities like Leon, Mexico City and Monterrey,” Saucedo said.
On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham held a news conference, saying he wanted “to unleash the fury and might of the U.S. against these cartels."
“The second step that we will be engaging in is give the military the authority to go after these organizations wherever they exist,” Graham said. "Not to invade Mexico. Not to shoot Mexican airplanes down. But to destroy drug labs that are poisoning Americans.”
López Obrador said Mexico would not accept such threats, calling them “an insult to Mexico and a lack of respect for our independence and sovereignty.”
López threatened to start a campaign in the United States asking Mexicans and Hispanics who live there not to vote for Republicans.
“We are going to issue a call not to vote for that party, because they are inhuman and interventionist,” López Obrador said.
Security analyst Alejandro Hope said López Obrador appeared trapped between his own “hugs, not bullets” strategy of not confronting cartels — which plays well among his supporters — and increasing U.S. pressure, especially from Republicans. Portraying himself as the defender of Mexico's sovereignty has been an easy out for López Obrador in the past.
Hope said the Mexican president may not realize how much the issue of declaring Mexican cartels terrorist organizations could become a conservative rallying cry in 2024, just as former President Donald Trump's call for a border wall was in 2016.
“It's the wall, version 2024,” said Hope. “He (López Obrador) believes everybody is as willing to make deals as Trump, but many of these (Republicans) are much more ideological.”
“The problem is that it puts the Biden administration in a terrible position, it puts it between the Republicans' intransigence and López Obrador's intransigence,” Hope said.
Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico's top diplomat, wrote in his Twitter account Thursday that proposals like Graham's would be “catastrophic for bilateral anti-drug cooperation.”
“They (Republicans) know that the fentanyl epidemic did not originate in Mexico, but in the United States,” Ebrard wrote. “They know that more work is being done against fentanyl now than ever.”
Mexicans, both in government and outside it, are clearly afraid of fentanyl use increasing in Mexico. A civic group has launched a campaign of painting walls with the slogan “Mxsinfentanilo” — “Mexico without fentanyl” — and López Obrador has launched a series of anti-drug TV ads.
But once again, López Obrador's government appears to view fentanyl as a U.S. problem.
In the ads launched in November, the Mexican government used videos of homeless people and open-air drug users in Philadelphia’s embattled Kensington neighborhood to try to scare young people away from drugs.
Senior economist Luis Torres of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas noted on Tuesday that Mexico has replaced China as the top U.S. trading partner, racking up $263 billion in trade during the first four months of 2023. China had been the top American trading partner since 2014, when it displaced Canada.
Torres said Mexico’s rise to the top spot was driven by “fractious U.S. relations with China,” U.S. tariffs imposed on Chinese goods in 2018, and “pandemic-era supply-chain disruptions that altered international trade and investment flows worldwide.”

Manufactured goods were a key element of Mexico’s growing trade with the United States, accounting for $234.2 billion of the $263 billion volume for the first four months of 2023. Trade with Mexico now covers 15.4 percent of all U.S. imports and exports.
Canada is actually back in second place, according to Torres, with 15.2 percent of U.S. imports and exports, followed by China with 12 percent.
Torres explained that China’s trade with the United States exploded after China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001. What followed was not entirely good news for American consumers, and especially not for American workers:
Once in the WTO, China’s access to the world’s premier consumer markets, combined with its own economic prowess and ability to marshal resources for growth, quickly transformed the country into a leading manufacturing hub.
Within a decade of its admission, critics increasingly accused China of flooding the world with cheap exports while limiting foreign access to its market. China’s trade growth coincided with sharp declines in U.S. manufacturing employment. Sectors and regions especially exposed to China’s trade tended to experience higher unemployment, lower labor force participation and reduced wage growth.
Mexico took up the slack after the U.S.-China trade war began in 2018, and has also benefited from the push for “nearshoring,” or moving manufacturing operations out of China into closer (and less politically hostile) countries.
Besides pulling supply chains away from the iron fist of the crackdown- and lockdown-prone Chinese Communist Party, nearshoring reduces shipping costs and makes it easier to coordinate with factories in the same time zone. Actually moving manufacturing back into the United States is out of the question because of sky-high labor costs, real estate prices, and regulatory burdens, so Mexico has become the nearshoring darling of the Americas.

Torres highlighted the importance of the “maquiladoras,” foreign-run factories that take advantage of cheap Mexican labor for manpower-intensive manufacturing processes. The U.S. automotive industry has long sent massive shipments of parts down to Mexico, where cars are built and returned across the border for sale in the United States.
Computer and electronic equipment are catching up to vehicle manufacturing in maquiladoras factories, thanks to the push for nearshoring, and a few other industries are shifting more of their operations to Mexico, although Torres cautioned that Mexico’s manufacturing remains more expensive than China’s, resulting in higher retail prices and/or lower profit margins for U.S. companies.
China keeps labor costs down by using forced labor from captive populations, such as the Uyghur Muslims, and workers lucky enough to get paid typically receive very low wages by free world standards.

“While the principal focus of trade policy was once free trade, greater efficiency and lower prices, that may no longer be the case. Today’s global economic relationships encompass a myriad of concerns, among them national security, climate policy and supply-chain resiliency,” Torres concluded.
Business Insider (BI) added to Torres’s analysis by suggesting the pandemic taught American consumers to expect very rapid delivery times, making nearshoring and shipping networks that do not have to cross the Pacific Ocean more attractive – a factor BI dubbed the “Amazon Prime Effect.”
Regional supply chains also have the beneficial side effect of creating more jobs in the United States, even if the manufacturing is done in other hemispheric nations. For example, analysts say about 40 percent of the parts sent to Mexican factories are made in the United States, while the same can be said for only four percent of the parts used in Chinese factories.
BI more somberly noted that some big retailers, such as Walmart, are growing nervous that deteriorating relations with China could abruptly cut off supply chains, so “regionalization” looks safer than “globalization” these days, even if it costs a bit more.

Another BI piece asserted that the costs of shifting manufacturing from China to Mexico should not be underestimated. American consumers might balk at the higher retail prices paid for goods made with cheap Mexican labor instead of incredibly cheap Chinese labor since the average consumer does not spend as much time worrying about fragile transoceanic supply lines and grim Chinese Communist overlords ordering factory shutdowns as professional market strategists do.
Investors: Biden’s Mass Migration Inflates Americans’ Housing Costs
President Joe Biden’s flood of legal and illegal migrants is inflating the costs that ordinary Americans and their grown children must pay for housing, according to the Wall Street Journal.
“Global Migration Boom Keeps Housing Costs High: Surging immigration is boosting rents and supporting home prices, complicating inflation flight,” said the headline above a July 15 article in the Wall Street Journal.
The report cited a May study by Goldman Sachs, which said in an email that “rebounding immigration” is helping investors by bumping up housing prices:
[A] post-pandemic recovery in immigration appears to be boosting population growth, thereby lifting housing demand and limiting house price downside (Exhibit 5). This dynamic appears especially important in Canada and Australia, where immigration and population growth have rebounded most strongly.

Similarly, an investigation of 18 countries by Canada’s leading bank, the Bank of Montreal, concluded that a one percent hike in population — via migration births or migration — spikes housing prices by three percent. In an email to Breitbart News:
We have shown in the past that there is a very clear-cut positive relationship between population growth and real home price increases (roughly, every 1% rise in the former translates to a 3% increase in the latter. For inflation, the relationship is less obvious. But, looking at 18 countries from 1999 to 2022 suggests that there is at least a weak positive relationship.

Establishment media outlets rarely recognize the impact of migration on housing, even when reporters try to cover the overcrowding and crime in taxpayer-funded shelters for migrants. This silence is also seen in many polls that portray immigration as a non-economic issue unrelated to housing or wages.
But Breitbart News has extensively covered the huge impact of migration on housing and wages in the United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries.
Since January 2021, President Joe Biden has admitted roughly eight million migrants into the United States, about one migrant for every American birth during the same period.
His flood includes roughly 3.2 million migrants welcomed across the southern border, 1.5 million “got-away” people who were allowed to sneak across the border, 800,000 “overstay” illegals in 2022, two million legal immigrants, and more than 500,000 temporary white-collar workers.
This Biden flood doubled the nation’s population growth, creating a population shock that was bound to impact housing prices.
In the United States, the inflation in housing “was by far the biggest contributor” to inflation in March 2023, said a tweet by Kathy Jones, an economist at Charles Schwab & Co. Her tweeted chart shows the dominant share of shelter inflation in dark blue:
The flood of immigrants and the resulting price hikes are pushing up rents along the coasts and in the interior states. USAToday.com reported on July 5:
In Columbia, Tennessee, an hour outside Nashville, tenants have been organizing after seeing their rents explode in the past several years, causing more people to become homeless.
Judy Schwartz-Naber, a Walgreen’s employee … has seen her rent double from $450 to $900 a month in the past seven years. She said there’s “a lot of fear out there” as people face more threats of eviction.
The high price of city housing also keeps many young Americans in their rural communities, while migrants and their children crowd into urban housing. This process ensures that migrants and their children get the economic opportunities of urban living that would otherwise have gone to Americans’ kids, according to a pro-migration academic, Leah Boustan. “No matter which country their parents came from, children of immigrants are more likely than the children of the U.S.-born to surpass their parents’ incomes when they are adults,” economic historians said in a 2022 article for Time.com.
“Of all the worrisome trends in the American economy, the easiest one to turn around with the greatest downstream positives is to stop artificially juicing demand for housing through loose border policies,” Andrew Good, an analyst at NumbersUSA — an immigration reform group — told Breitbart News.
Real estate investors have a major influence over the GOP and the Democrat Party. On July 18, the New York Times sketched the huge role of real estate investors in New York politics:
[Mayor Eric] Adams has raised $1.3 million since January for his 2025 re-election effort in the latest reporting period, drawing maximum $2,100 donations from real estate magnates like Marc Holliday, the chief executive of SL Green, the city’s largest commercial landlord, and its founder, Steve Green; and Alexander and Helena Durst, members of The Durst Organization real estate dynasty, according to new filings with the city’s Campaign Finance Board.
About $550,000 came from donors outside New York City who live in the suburbs, Florida and other states — a continuation of a pattern displayed early in his tenure, when he held fund-raisers in Beverly Hills and Chicago in his first months in office.
…
The real estate industry once again also provided the largest donor base for Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Buffalo Democrat who narrowly won a full four-year term in November. Of the $4.5 million her campaign raised in the first six months of the year, more than $950,000 came from developers and real estate investors, and more from other industries with business before the state, according to an analysis of her public filings by The Times.
“Most of our elites are dead set against slowing down the [migration] train,” Good said, adding, “Voters have to make an off-ramp for themselves, and even more crucially, for their kids and grandkids.”
The migrant inflow has successfullyforced down Americans’ wages and boosted rents and housing prices. The inflow of compliant and hardworking migrants has also pushed many ordinary or less-productive Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and has contributed to therising death rateof poor Americans.
The lethal policy 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 from the needs and interests ofordinary Americans.
In many speeches, border chief Alejandro 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 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.
