United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain announced his endorsement of President Joe Biden on Wednesday against former President Donald Trump, though he admitted that “working-class people are hurting.”

At a conference in Washington, DC, Fain praised Biden for being by the union’s “side every step of the way” and blasted Trump for not caring “about the American worker.”

“Here is what Joe Biden did during our stand-up strike,” Fain said, referring to Biden’s short, 12-minute speech to striking auto workers in 2023. “… he joined us in solidarity on the picket line for the first time in our nation’s history.”

The UAW strike, though, was spurred by record inflation under Biden and the White House’s agenda to mandate electric vehicle (EV) production from automakers — both of which have the prospect of cutting auto wages and, ultimately, outsourcing auto jobs.

While endorsing Biden, Fain admitted that “working-class people are hurting today.”

“For decades, we’ve been ignored at best and trampled on at work. But we are the vast majority of society,” Fain said. “We have the numbers, and we have the votes. When we stand united, we put fear in the hearts of the billionaire class.”

Meanwhile, Trump has blasted Biden’s record of supporting free trade deals and opposing his plans to impose ten percent tariffs across the board on all foreign imports.

“Joe Biden claims to be the most pro-union president in history. Nonsense,” Trump said in late 2023 to auto workers in Michigan:

His entire career has been an act of economic treason and union destruction. He’s destroyed unions, shipping millions of American jobs overseas while personally taking money from foreign nations, hand over fist. Look at the money he got from China. [Emphasis added]

Trump has also warned that Biden’s EV mandates could potentially wipe out millions of auto jobs and jobs in supporting industries because the cars do not require nearly as much labor.

Likewise, Biden’s top deputies have gone as far as to say they are not interested in decoupling from China even as the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has recommended the administration revoke China’s free trade status with the United States.

With Fain’s endorsement, Biden hopes to lock up union votes in critical swing states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Ohio — many of which voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 thanks to his economic nationalist policy positions.

Fain has been a controversial figure, even for Biden, on several issues. For example, Fain has compared Israel to Nazi Germany and demanded that Biden call for a ceasefire after Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.

United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain said “a great majority” of American union workers in the auto industry “will not vote for” President Joe Biden against presumptive Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump.

“Look, let me be clear about this. A great majority of our members will not vote for President Biden. Yes, some will. But that’s the reality of this,” Fain told Neil Cavuto:

The majority of our members are going to vote with their paychecks, they’re going to vote for an economy that works for them, they’re going to vote for a president — when you look at these two presidents, the choice is very clear about which one stands up with the working class and stands up with labor and which one stands with the billionaire class and that’s his base. [Emphasis added]

Fain’s remarks came immediately after he announced the UAW was endorsing Biden for reelection this year against Trump, despite the White House’s green energy agenda, which would crush the American auto industry with plant closures, outsourcing, and millions of jobs lost.

Biden’s record on trade and China, similarly, has been in stark contrast to the interest of American auto workers.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, for example, has made it clear that the Biden administration is “not attempting to decouple from China.” At the same time, China now leads the world as the largest exporter of cars partially thanks to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) dominating electric vehicle (EV) supply chains.

This year, Chinese automakers are hoping to flood the United States market with cheap, subsidized EVs to sell to Americans.

The UAW’s endorsement of Biden came even as members warned that Biden’s green energy agenda, including EV mandates, has the potential “to wipe us out” and bring “poverty wages” to the American auto industry.

Meanwhile, Trump has vowed to end Biden’s EV mandates and warned American auto workers that their jobs will be gone in no time under such crippling green energy efforts from the administration.

“If you’re a United Auto Worker, or an auto worker of any standard of any state, I don’t care, they’re going to destroy your business,” Trump said in October. “Within two years, you’re not going to have a job. I’m going to bring back jobs. I’m going to bring back the manufacture of automobiles in our country.”

“Tell your union head … tell him to not endorse the Democrats who are going to put you out of business,” Trump said. “You’re going to be out of a job.”

Trump’s economic nationalist platform has kept him vying for the union vote where other Republican candidates squandered their chance to win over working- and middle-class union households because of unpopular, economic libertarian positions.

In 2020, Trump won about 4-in-10 union households — a critical faction in states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Study: Housing Unaffordable for Record Half of Renters in President Joe Biden’s America

Researchers say that in 2022, a record half of people in the United States renting a place to live used a massive chunk of their income for rent and utilities.

In its article, published Thursday, NPR cited a recent report from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University regarding the desperate situation that is hurting people across the nation.

The center’s report found that in 2022, “as rents spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic, a record half of U.S. renters paid more than 30% of their income for rent and utilities. Nearly half of those people were severely cost-burdened, paying more than 50% of their income,” the NPR article continued:

“We actually saw increases across every single income category that we look at, which sort of surprised us,” says Whitney Airgood-Obrycki, a senior research associate with the center and the report’s lead author.

Since 2019, the biggest jump in unaffordability was for households making $30,000 to $74,999 a year. Even among those working full time, a third of all renters were still cost-burdened.

In July, a report found the flood of legal and illegal migrants is inflating costs Americans must pay to have a roof over their heads.

It is important to note that “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,” according to Breitbart News.

In 2022, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) welcomed more economic migrants into her district, where residents are forced to earn approximately $50 an hour to earn rent for a two-bedroom apartment, the outlet reported.

While the cost of housing remains a burden, people are also having difficulties putting food on the table in Biden’s economy.

In September, data from the Department of Labor showed household budgets were struggling under rising grocery prices for the second consecutive month, Breitbart News reported at the time.

“Food prices have been on an almost relentless rise since Biden took office, with food inflation becoming a constant feature of the American economy after nearly a decade of mostly stable prices,” the outlet reported. “Prices for groceries have been up on a monthly basis in all but three months of Biden’s presidency.”

CBO: Biden Admin Has Released 6.2 Million Illegal Migrants into U.S. in 3 Years, Often Through ‘Parole’ Loophole

President Joe Biden’s deputies have let 6.2 million illegal migrants into the United States, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

Biden’s southern inflow is more than one migrant for every two American births since January 2021.

“More of those people are also being released into the United States than previously, generally through the use of parole authority or with a notice to appear before an immigration judge,” said the report, titled “The Demographic Outlook: 2014 to 2054.”

The 2023 inflow included 900,000 migrants who were released after they walked up to official border gates plus 1.1 million migrants who were released after they crossed through gaps in the border wall, said the CBO agency, which acts as an advisor to Capitol Hill legislators.

Roughly half of those migrants — 1.1 million — were let into the country by October 1, via Biden’s use of the “parole” loophole in border law, the CBO reported. Biden and his Democrat allies are now trying to expand the parole doorway.

The 2023 inflow also included 860,000 “gotaways” who sneaked past Biden’s half-built and lightly guarded border wall and 430,000 people who remained in the United States long after their visas had expired.

The figure is close to the partial data released by the Department of Homeland Security in early January.

The CBO data does not include hundreds of thousands of migrants released since October 1.

The report noted that “CBO estimates that, on net, the number of people immigrating to the United States was 1.2 million in 2021 and 2.7 million in 2022.”

So Biden’s three years of inflows — 1.2 million, 2.7 million, and 3.3 million — up to October — add up to 6.2 million illegal migrants.

This massive migrant inflow has helped to flatline Americans’ wages and spike the cost of housing, making it more difficult for American families to have many children.

The CBO report noted that Americans’ “projected total fertility rate [fell] from 1.75 to 1.70 births per woman” in 2023.

In Canada, the same causes and effects have sharply reduced the Canadian birth rate.

Polls show that Biden’s inflow is very unpopular and may prevent his reelection.

The CBO report did not discuss the legal inflow of foreign visitors who illegally take jobs for several months before returning home. This B-1/B-2 visa fraud is rarely mentioned by U.S. officials.

The CBO report also estimated that Biden will import an additional 3.3 million illegal migrants in 2024.

The report does not give a number for the inflow of legal immigrants. But a chart shows that number dipped to roughly 500,000 amid the coronavirus disaster. The CBO predicted — without evidence — that the migrant inflow will drop rapidly after 2024.

The chart suggests that Biden added 2.25 million legal immigrants during his first three years.

Legal immigrants are people who get Green Cards or citizenship.

The 2.25 million legal immigrants pushed the total migrant inflow up to 8.5 million, or almost one migrant for each of the 10 million U.S. births during the three years.

The CBO report does not give a number for the inflow of foreign contract workers. However, Biden’s deputies have sharply raised that inflow from about 600,000 in 2020 up to one million in 2022.

The data suggests that Biden’s deputies have imported roughly 2.6 million visa workers. These temporary workers arrive via the H-2A, J-1, and H-2B programs for blue-collar labor, and the H-1B, J-1, OPT, H4EAD, L-1, O-1, and TN programs for white-collar professionals.

Overall, Biden’s deputies keep a revolving population of roughly 500,000 foreign workers in seasonal jobs, plus 1.5 million foreign graduates in the jobs needed by U.S. professionals, mostly in Fortune 500 companies and their subcontractors.

If those two revolving populations of foreign workers are added up to two million, then Biden’s immigration chief has imported a total of 10.5 million foreign migrants.

The total inflow adds up to one migrant for every American birth in the first three years of his tenure.

Extraction Migration

Since at least 1990, the federal government has relied on extraction migration to grow the economy after allowing investors to move the high-wage manufacturing sector to lower-wage countries.

The migration policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries. The additional workers, consumers, and renters push up stock values by shrinking Americans’ wages, subsidizing low-productivity companies, boosting rents, and spiking real estate prices.

The economic policy has pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors, reduced native-born Americans’ productivity and political clout, reduced high-tech innovation, crippled civic solidarity, and allowed government officials to ignore the rising death rate and falling birth rate of poor Americans.

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

The colonialism-like policy has also killed many thousands of migrants, including many on the taxpayer-funded jungle trail through the Darien Gap in Panama.
