MAYORKAS = ONE MORE LYING PIG LAWYER LIKE HIS BOSS JOJO!
THE GAMER LAWYERS:
Actually, it's only stricter in some areas, and only contingent on having personnel willing to follow the law as written her than use their activist 'discretion' to wave every applicant through. Even Joe Biden can waive the whole thing for whatever he deems 'an emergency.'
“Joe Biden is great on immigration. I guess depends on your perspective. If you’re a human trafficker, or drug dealer, you’d give him an A-plus, but theAmerican people would give him an F. The crisis at our border was not only entirely predictable, it was predicted. I predicted that if you campaign all year long on open borders, amnesty, and health care for illegals, you’re going to get more migrants at the border. That’s what’s happened since the election.” SEN. TOM COTTON

Senate border deal mostly about preserving Joe Biden's 'new normal'
After weeks of secretive bipartisan negotiations, the Senate border deal proposal is out and, well, it's got a lot of compromise.
According to Politico:
Senators in both parties have finalized a deal on stricter border and immigration policies that is headed toward an uncertain floor vote in the coming days.
The $118 billion agreement, which was released Sunday afternoon and negotiated for months, would tighten the standard for migrants to receive asylum, automatically shut down the southern border to illegal crossings if migrant encounters hit certain daily benchmarks and send billions of dollars to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan as well as the border.
Actually, it's only stricter in some areas, and only contingent on having personnel willing to follow the law as written her than use their activist 'discretion' to wave every applicant through. Even Joe Biden can waive the whole thing for whatever he deems 'an emergency.'
Bill Melugin at Fox News has some preliminary dissections of what the bill contains:
The problem with quotas based on moving averages and all that is that it still violates the law, given that only Congress is authorized by the Constitution to set immigration quotas. The law itself will set new quotas, but only based on Joe Biden's "new normal" in open borders admissions. As Melugin observes, they already are getting about 5,000 illegal crossings a day so all this new 4,999 law would do is normalize that number rather than presumably letting it get bigger, which it will do.
One can only imagine the cartels of Mexico reading this new quota system and either divvying up the numbers and proceeds they make from illegal crossings, or more likely, battling it out amongst each other for their share of the 4,999 quota. And once again, that's if the BIden administration actually follows those quotas. No mention of what happens if he doesn't nor how they count 'gotaways,' particularly since, as far as I can tell, there are no measures to repair and strengthen the border wall.
They call it catch and deport rather than catch and release, but some groups will escape from that designation anyway -- unaccompanied minors, meaning, gang-aged youth, and "families" whether DNA-tested or not. There should be plenty of fraud on both fronts, given the impossibility of verifying whether such illegal crossers really are underaged youth or family units. Nobody, of course, will have papers, and the gang-aged "youth," trafficked kids, and toddlers flung over the wall will get free government-paid asylum lawyers to ensure they can stay here in the states instead of be sent back. Cartels will take note and adjust their plans accordingly. The incentive will remain to ship unaccompanied minors over illegally.
As for tough new standards on asylum applicants, well, as I said earlier, it's in the hands of so-called "asylum officers" to likely be hired from the open-borders activist community rather than immigration judges trained in immigration law. Any tough standards there and penalties for failing to heed the law or overusing 'discretion'? Any penalties for letting predators in who will prey on Americans? None that I can see. Soung auspicious?
Verifying criminal records, which is one disqualifier, seems a little skeevy with migrants rolling in from places like the Democratic Republic of Congo or Venezuela, the latter of which has emptied its jails precisely to inflict its criminals upon the U.S. Anybody expect them to cooperate? They're already threatening to not take their own migrants back because the U.S. has sanctions on the drug dealers in their leadership. Scratch any effectiveness about keeping criminals out from that quarter.
A related problem is that certain nationalities are exempted from the tougher asylum requirements, such as Venezuelans, Haitians, Cubans and Nicaraguans. There is no doubt that a lot of those people should qualify for asylum, but sorting them out seems just about impossible. For example, Jhoan Boada, the charmer who beat the New York police officers and then flashed the double-middle finger to the cameras as he was exiting the New York courthouse on zero bail -- would be in the asylum-worthy category and not be sent back. Sound like a good idea to be importing more of him?
Lastly, the cash shovel-out to NGOs seems problematic, given the role of NGOs in encouraging illegal immigration and fostering it forward with road maps, advice on how to get here, free bus rides in and the like. NGOs are probably the biggest problem in the encouragement of open borders, being an interest group with cash interests in more illegal migrants coming in, so that issue is only going to incentivize more illegal immigration.
There are counter-arguments, such as this one presented by Daniel Di Martino here,
'
Some important points he makes is that the new law would strip out lots of garbage already in the tangle of immigration laws, such as illogical restrictions on family visits and extended asylum court cases, and that Democrats will probably never vote 'yes' on another bill except this one, so it may be the only chance.
But on the whole, the border bill has just a little too much compromise, normalizing the situation as we have now and ignoring that we already have a legal process for entering the U.S., which could be made easier instead of accommodating some 'acceptable' level of illegal immigration and expanding Joe Biden's power.
The other thing is that BIden can shut down the border right now if he wants to -- he just doesn't want to. That leaves the border mess on him and the possibiolity of changing America's leadership possibly the best option on the table.
House Speaker Mike Johnson says the bill is a non-starter. Perhaps putting more restrictions on Biden rather than the illegal border crossers will make it more palatable. I'm not going to 100% say that this bill is a nonstarter, but on the whole, it looks like a bad bill, and bad bills are worse than no bills, as President Trump has stated.

Mayorkas Doubles Down, Says ‘We Need’ More Migrants Amid Border Debate, Impeachment Fight
President Joe Biden’s border chief says Americans need more migrants to fill jobs — even as House legislators debate his possible impeachment and the Senate considers a legislative deal he helped broker.
Mayorkas made his demand for a high-migration, low-productivity economy during a softball interview with the New York Times:
Wouldn’t it be more orderly, and wouldn’t it be responsible governance to be able to deliver a lawful pathway to fill what we have, which is a labor need, and cut the exploitative smugglers out and give individuals a path to arrive lawfully, safely, in an orderly way, to perform labor that we need? They can send remittances home. They can return home when their work is done. Isn’t that an element of a workable immigration system?
Interviewer Lulu Garcia-Navarro passively accepted his family-separating, George W. Bush-like “Any Willing Worker” pitch as she suggested the nation’s migration debate is really about how to ensure more orderly migration:
Q. So what I’m hearing you say is that you’d like to expand legal pathways in order to relieve some of the pressure on the Southern border where people come in illegally?
A. Yes, and to fulfill one of the goals of our immigration system.
Mayorkas did not mention that a primary legislated goal of the immigration system is ensuring that American families are not discarded by employers’ use of cheap and compliant foreign labor.
Since 2021, Mayorkas has allowed more than 6.2 million migrants into Americans’ housing, schools, hospitals, and workplaces. His policy has pressured down Americans’ wages. It also boosted rents and housing prices and inflicted more divisive diversity on Americans’ society. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of fields and spiked the number of “Deaths of Despair.”
Mayorkas heads the Department of Homeland Security that guards the nation’s borders. But he has repeatedly called for a Canadian-style migration system in the United States that would supply companies with all the labor they prefer. Yet Canadians increasingly recognize that their migration strategy has caused great damage to their people and economy.
However, Mayorkas’ pro-Wall Street economic agenda is downplayed by GOP legislators and by most reporters. The establishment’s silence is a tacit admission that the dispute is powering the nationwide populist upsurge that sidelined Jeb Bush and elected President Donald Trump in 2016.

Emma-Jo Morris / Breitbart NewsThat democratic pushback is powering the House impeachment of Mayorkas, many court battles, and public opposition to the establishment-drafted border-management plan in the Senate that would legalize much illegal migration.
Mayorkas played a central role in drafting the planned legislation with Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
The interviewer also ignored many dramas in Mayorkas’ tenure — including his 2021 decision to stop deporting illegal migrants once they cleared the border, and the overall impact of his favoritism towards migrants — including more anti-Semitic attitudes and racial appeals — and his moral and legal duty to Americans, including roughly 5 million men who have fallen out of the workforce.
Similarly, the New York Times article sidelined the huge death toll among migrants trying to reach Mayorkas’ welcome, and his failure to curb the cross-border flow of drugs that kills roughly 70,000 Americans each year from drugs. It was also silent about Mayorkas’ recent deals with Mexico to steady the inflow of economic migrants.
Instead, the interviewer mischaracterized Americans’ rational and legitimate concerns about Mayorkas’ nation-changing immigration policies, and allowed Mayorkas to smear those concerns as unreasoning “hate”:
Q. Some people argue that the Biden administration’s mishandling of the border has given those who are anti-immigrant [some] ammunition to advocate for draconian cuts to immigration, like mass roundups of undocumented people and shutting the border down.
A. I’ve never understood individuals with anti-immigrant sentiments to need ammunition. Hate is its own ammunition. And regrettably, we have seen that [hate] materialize in many different ways … in this country.
The interviewer did not ask, and Mayorkas did not explain, why he dismissed the public’s majority criticism of his migration policies as mere “hate.”
In general, Mayorkas gets kid glove treatment when he speaks to the national press.
For example, the Associated Press also interviewed Mayorkas and let him dodge the awkward issues of his pro-migration skew, record on drugs and migrant deaths, wages and housing, law, and polls. But the Associated Press article did include this bouquet:
Supporters say he is driven by commitment to public service and that impeachment is completely at odds with what they know of the law-and-order-minded former prosecutor.
Cecilia Munoz, who worked closely with Mayorkas during the Obama administration, praised his tenure as head of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service, where she says he put in place a program giving protection from deportation to migrants brought to the border as children in “light speed.” She also noted his efforts to get Haitian children, orphaned by the 2010 earthquake, into the U.S. to people who wanted to adopt them.
The New York Times‘ softball interviewer, Garcia-Navarro, is on safe ground with her pro-migration editors.
For example, a February 2 article by the newspaper’s Editorial Board complained that the border deal is threatened because “Republican leaders … are engaged in other forms of sabotage.” The deal should go through, said the board, because it will legalize more immigration:
The deal under construction in the Senate reportedly would raise the bar for asylum claims and provide funding to expedite decisions. It would expand other forms of legal immigration [emphasis added], which could help to take some pressure off the asylum process.
…
[Congress] needs to act so that people without legitimate claims cannot walk into the United States — not least so that others are able to do so [emphasis added].
Extraction Migration
Since at least 1990, the federal government has relied on Extraction Migration to grow the economy after it allowed investors to move much of 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 of discarded 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.
