AS AMERICA'S BORDERS ARE SURRENDERED TO NARCOMEX - Presidents Day: 5 Presidents Who Warned Against Mass Immigration

 

LYING LAWYER BILLARY CLINTON IS AN ADVOCATE FOR OPEN BORDERS TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED.

“All Americans … are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold may otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public services they use impose burdens on our taxpayers,” Clinton said.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S BILLIONAIRES’ GLOBALIST EMPIRE requires someone as ruthlessly dishonest as Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama to be puppet dictators.

Globalism: Google VP Kent Walker insists that despite its repeated rejection by electorates around the world, “globalization” is an “incredible force for good.”

 

Hillary Clinton’s Democratic party: An executive nearly broke down crying because of the candidate’s loss. Not a single executive expressed anything but dismay at her defeat. 

 

Immigration: Maintaining liberal immigration in the U.S is the policy that Google’s executives discussed the most. 

 

The main objective of “political animals” like Obama and the Clintons is to get elected; it’s not to fix a broken America, nor to protect her. There are people who govern and there are people who campaign; Obama and the Clintons are the latter. Just look at the huge Republican electoral gains under Obama and the Clintons. It’s amazing that Democrats who still care about their party still support the very people who have brought it down.


Presidents Day: 5 Presidents Who Warned Against Mass Immigration

While presidents have long had disagreements on national policy, many agreed that unchecked immigration to the United States ultimately hurts Americans and those legal immigrants who have already arrived.

Five presidents, in particular, have famously warned against mass immigration to the United States — despite their differences on a variety of other issues.

Calvin Coolidge

In the early 1920s, President Calvin Coolidge (R) drastically reduced annual legal immigration levels to the United States, stabilizing the nation’s population following decades of record-high immigration.

Coolidge, in a December 1923 address, said immigration levels must not exceed the ability of Americans to absorb new arrivals and that “America must be kept American.”

“American institutions rest solely on good citizenship. They were created by people who had a background of self-government,” Coolidge said:

New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship. America must be kept American. For this I [sic] purpose, it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration. It would be well to make such immigration of a selective nature with some inspection at the source, and based either on a prior census or upon the record of naturalization. Either method would insure the admission of those with the largest capacity and best intention of becoming citizens. I am convinced that our present economic and social conditions warrant a limitation of those to be admitted. We should find additional safety in a law requiring the immediate registration of all aliens. Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America.

Bill Clinton

Democrat and Republican lawmakers applauded when President Bill Clinton (D), in his 1995 State of the Union address, blasted mass immigration to the United States as a detriment to American citizens who are forced to pick up the tab.

“All Americans … are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold may otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public services they use impose burdens on our taxpayers,” Clinton said.

Taking a step even further, in June 1995, Clinton proudly endorsed the recommendations made by the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform, which was chaired by civil rights icon then-Rep. Barbara Jordan (D-TX).

The commission recommended cutting legal immigration levels in half, admitting about half a million immigrants annually, while carrying out an aggressive assimilation process for new arrivals and driving up deportations of illegal aliens.

Theodore Roosevelt

President Theodore Roosevelt (R) laid out his vision for controlling immigration to the United States in an April 1894 essay titled “True Americanism” in which he argued that assimilation is vital to the foundation of American principles.

Roosevelt wrote:

The mighty tide of immigration to our shores has brought in its train much of good and much of evil; and whether the good or the evil shall predominate depends mainly on whether these newcomers do or do not throw themselves heartily into our national life, cease to be Europeans, and become Americans like the rest of us. More than a third of the people of the Northern States are of foreign birth or parentage. An immense number of them have become completely Americanized, and these stand on exactly the same plane as the descendants of any Puritan, Cavalier, or Knickerbocker among us, and do their full and honorable share of the nation’s work.

But where immigrants, or the sons of immigrants, do not heartily and in good faith throw in their lot with us, but cling to the speech, the customs, the ways of life, and the habits of thought of the Old World which they have left, they thereby harm both themselves and us. If they remain alien elements, unassimilated, and with interests separate from ours, they are mere obstructions to the current of our national life, and, moreover, can get no good from it themselves. In fact, though we ourselves also suffer from their perversity, it is they who really suffer most. It is an immense benefit to the European immigrant to change him into an American citizen. To bear the name of American is to bear the most honorable titles; and whoever does not so believe has no business to bear the name at all, and, if he comes from Europe, the sooner he goes back there the better.

Barack Obama

In his 2006 book “Audacity of Hope,” then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) — who would later win the 2008 presidential election — said illegal and legal immigration must be controlled to not lower the wages of America’s working and lower-middle class.

“The number of immigrants added to the labor force every year is of a magnitude not seen in this country for over a century,” Obama noted in the book, going on to write, “If this huge influx of mostly low-skill [sic] workers provides some benefits to the economy … it also threatens to depress further the wages of blue-collar Americans [and] puts strains on an already overburdened safety net.

Donald Trump

Perhaps most defined by immigration policy, President Donald Trump (R) successfully campaigned in the 2016 presidential election on immigration moratoriums, increased deportations of illegal aliens, building a border wall, abolishment of work visa programs to shore up jobs for Americans, and championed the plight of Angel Families.

In August 2016, Trump issued an address on immigration in Phoenix, Arizona which has helped define the Republican Party.

“The fundamental problem with the immigration system in our country is that it serves the needs of wealthy donors, political activists, and powerful politicians,” Trump said:

Let me tell you who it does not serve. It does not serve you the American people. Doesn’t serve you. When politicians talk about immigration reform, they usually mean the following: amnesty, open borders, lower wages. Immigration reform should mean something else entirely. It should mean improvements to our laws and policies to make life better for American citizens.

If we’re going to make our immigration system work, then we have to be prepared to talk honestly and without fear about these important and very sensitive issues. For instance, we have to listen to the concerns that working people, our forgotten working people, have over the record pace of immigration and its impact on their jobs, wages, housing, schools, tax bills and general living conditions. These are valid concerns expressed by decent and patriotic citizens from all backgrounds, all over. We also have to be honest about the fact that not everyone who seeks to join our country will be able to successfully assimilate. Sometimes it’s just not going to work out. It’s our right, as a sovereign nation, to chose immigrants that we think are the likeliest to thrive and flourish and love us.

New York Migrants Receiving Cash Welfare Payments After Quiet Rule Change

The Democrat-controlled state of New York has been quietly handing out cash payments to thousands of migrants under a rule change qualifying non-citizens for welfare.

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) modified its Safety Net Assistance (SNA) program’s parameters in 2023, making migrants who have filled out asylum application forms eligible to receive even more taxpayer dollars. 

A memo quietly sent out to New York welfare office workers from the Hochul administration on May 12, 2023, carefully revised the standards needed to qualify for SNA, expanding them to include “non-citizens who are considered permanently residing under color of law (PRUCOL).”

“PRUCOL is not an immigration status, but a public benefit category used by OTDA for the purposes of Safety Net Assistance (SNA) eligibility,” the memo reads, before listing the several different kinds of immigration documentation SNA providers should accept from migrants. 

SNA is a program that provides cash assistance to eligible needy individuals and families who do not typically qualify for other forms of welfare, including single adults, childless couples, children who do not live with adult relatives, and families of drug or alcohol abusers. 

“Generally, you can receive cash SNA for a maximum of two years in a lifetime,” OTDA said. “After that, if you are eligible for SNA, it is provided in non-cash form, such as a payment made directly to your landlord or voucher sent directly to your utility company.”

It is believed that about ten percent of New York’s migrants will receive (or are already receiving) the additional cash benefits from SNA; however, the OTDA did not release actual numbers of migrants affected by the rule change, the New York Post reported.

Over 173,000 migrants have poured into New York City alone since the spring of 2022, so it is possible that more than 17,000 could be receiving SNA benefits just in the city.

According to ODTA spokesman Anthony Farmer, the SNA migrant payments are only a “small portion” of the $4.3 billion in taxpayer funds already earmarked by Hochul for dealing with the migrant crisis “in the absence of new federal aid.”

“At the request of New York City, OTDA made a technical update to allow a small percentage of migrants to receive certain additional support in compliance with state and federal law,” he said.

The welfare expansion has been lambasted by both Republicans and Democrats.

According to Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), it’s “horrible that Gov. Hochul found another way to attract migrants” to the state while “putting the squeeze” on middle- and lower-income New Yorkers who don’t want their tax dollars going to this.

“You have people from all over the world coming to New York to take advantage of all these left-wing programs the governor, the mayor are implementing, while at the same time, they’re clobbering taxpayers over the head,” she told the Post. “[Safety Net Assistance] is a program that’s supposed to be for New Yorkers who temporarily need it to get through a difficult time in their lives.”

City Councilman Robert Holden (D) agreed, saying, “The endless handouts to the entire world are a slap in the face to every citizen who has contributed to and sacrificed for this country.”

“It’s time to end this madness,” he added.

Hochul spokesman Avi Small blamed the migrant crisis on Republicans. 

“There’s no secret here,” he said. “Because the MAGA right killed a bipartisan deal that would have allowed President Biden to shut down the border, New York State will be forced to shoulder this burden alone and spend additional taxpayer funds on the migrant crisis.”

The revelation of this drastic rule change comes after NYC Mayor Eric Adams came under fire earlier this month for his plan to distribute $53 million to migrants in the form of pre-paid credit cards.
