Borders, Bad Policies and Biden

I am sure it's no surprise to anyone that Biden is a disaster when it comes to the border issues.  Well, whoever is pulling his strings, anyway, and we can all guess who that is.  As was happening before President Trump was elected, we have massive amounts of illegals pouring across our Southern border, and they're being welcomed, while Americans go without jobs and affordable housing, and are told they can't go anywhere without a mask.  The illegals, of course, don't wear one, and officials seem to not care.  Nor do they seem at all concerned about any other diseases that could be brought in by these massive numbers of invaders.  

Some highlights of the issue: 

REPORT: 100K Migrants Apprehended at U.S.-Mexico Border in February


Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 100,000 migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border in February, according to information leaked to Reuters by federal officials. This represents the largest number of migrant apprehensions in February since 2006.

Reuters published previously unreported numbers showing that Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 100,000 migrants in February. If the numbers are accurate, they represent an increase of nearly 33 percent from January. Officials expect the official numbers to be released next week.

The rapidly increasing number of apprehensions follows the abandonment of Trump-era border security and immigration control policies by President Joe Biden during his first days in office.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) sent a letter to President Biden on Friday requesting a meeting to discuss “great concerns” with the administration’s approach to the border, Reuters reported.

“We must acknowledge the border crisis, develop a plan, and, in no uncertain terms, strongly discourage individuals from Mexico and Central America from ever making the dangerous journey to our southern border,” McCarthy wrote.

The number of apprehensions of migrants continues to increase in March with officials acknowledging the arrest of more than 4,500 migrants on Wednesday, the article continues.

On Thursday, U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar (D-TX) reported the apprehension of approximately 10,000 migrants in the Rio Grande Valley Sector during a seven-day period — 2,500 in the previous two days.

“We are weeks, maybe even days, away from a crisis on the southern border. Inaction is simply not an option,” Congressman Cuellar said in a written statement. “Our country is currently unprepared to handle a surge in migrants in the middle of the pandemic.”

Of particular concern is the growing number of unaccompanied minors being apprehended at the border. The massively increasing number led to the Biden administration holding minors in Border Patrol facilities beyond the 72-hour legal limit.

Democrat leaders in South Texas are also critical of the president’s policies that are forcing the release of migrants infected with COVID-19. Officials in Brownsville, Texas, report more than six percent of migrants being released at a local bus station are testing positive for COVID-19.

Texas State Senator Jose “Chuy” Hinojosa (D-McAllen) also complained about the migrants being released without being tested, Breitbart Texas reported in February. “[Border Patrol agents] were just dropping them off at the bus station without testing them. Obviously, that’s very alarming to all of us in that they’re coming from Central America and through Mexico and to be released into the United States without being tested for COVID is really unconscionable,” the Democrat state senator said.

That's a LOT of people, a massive increase, and this is being encouraged by this fraudulent administration.  The real winner of the election is calling Biden out for this:

Of course, Biden wants no more wall construction, to enable his invaders' access, and it's working:

Jobs for Americans aren't a concern of this administration, of course.  The Left hates America and Americans:

 Hawley: ‘Democrats Have Made American Workers Compete with Slave Labor’

Exclusive – Paul Gosar: Big Tech Getting 15 Percent Discount to Hire Foreign Workers over Americans 

ORLANDO, Florida — Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) warned that big tech companies are incentivized to hire foreign workers over Americans as he discussed President Joe Biden’s immigration agenda during an exclusive interview with Breitbart News at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Gosar highlighted continuing visa programs he says “don’t work,” particularly the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program for crowding Americans out of tech jobs while tech corporations profit.

In 2019, Gosar introduced legislation titled the “Fairness for High Skilled Americans Act” to end the OPT program as Americans cannot be hired through the program.

“I’m one of the big people talking about OPT, which is the Optional Practical Training program, that Congress never authorized,” Gosar said in reference to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) running the program on its own accord instead of enacting the program through Congress.

“This is an unkept intrusion of foreign workers that gives benefits to people like big tech to bring in folks from China, and from Pakistan, and from India, and one of the problems that exists here is that you get a 15.5 percent discount to hire them over American citizens,” Gosar said. “That 15.5 percent discount is the FICA [Federal Insurance Contribution Act] withholding tax that puts money into Social Security and Medicare.”

Indeed, the OPT program provides a tax incentive, and thus a subsidy paid for by American taxpayers, for corporations to hire foreign workers over Americans. Every year, about half a million foreign students enrolled in U.S. universities secure American white-collar jobs through the OPT program.

Corporations such as Amazon, Google, Deloitte, and Intel employ thousands of OPT foreign workers over American STEM graduates every year — reaping a more than 15 percent discount because the employers can evade at least $20 billion to $30 billion in FICA taxes over the years.

As Breitbart News has reported, there are nearly 500,000 Chinese students in the U.S. in any given year — more than any other nation — taking seats in university classrooms and looking to eventually obtain OPT authorization to take entry-level jobs in white-collar professions.

Gosar said the OPT program, by exempting employers and foreign workers from paying FICA taxes, is increasing Medicare’s insolvency.

“Isn’t it interesting now that we just got the new numbers for the insolvency of Medicare coming up shortly in 2024,” Gosar said. “These are people not putting in, or these companies are not putting that money into those programs, and yet they’ll be eligible down the road to get that, so it’s a double-dipping. So we have to highlight what doesn’t work.”

The OPT program shifts billions in economic wealth every year out of middle America and into coastal cities. OPT beneficiaries pay billions in tuition and fees, a boon for U.S. universities.

OPT data from 2017 showed that most foreign workers in the program were taking jobs in New York, New Jersey, California, Texas, or another coastal state — further concentrating wealth by providing an annual wage subsidy of $10 billion to these employers.

Now that's just flat out wrong.  Since when is hiring foreigners the goal of an agency created, supposedly, for "Homeland Security"?

And this is still happening:

Joe Biden’s DHS Frees at Least 800 Border Crossers into U.S. in Four Days 

Obviously, his oath of office meant nothing to this senile clown.

It's not just in this country that "migrants" are an issue, either:

Sweden: Migrant-Background Rapists Make Up Majority of Attackers 

The Lund University found the majority of convicted rapists in Sweden are of migrant backgrounds and nearly half of rapists born abroad in a landmark study which is one of the first of its kind in the high-migration level nation.

The study, which was published online on February 22nd, looked at a total of 3,039 convicted rapists and found that 59.3 per cent of the convicts came from ‘migrant backgrounds’ — first and second-generation migrants.

For those offenders born outside of Sweden — 47.8 per cent in total — 34.5 per cent came from the North African and Middle Eastern region, while 19.1 per cent came from sub-Saharan Africa.

We can read stories like this all the time, with people imported from Third World areas being welcomed into decent countries, only to bring their crime and other issues with them.  There is a definite pattern to which countries are invaded, too, and which are not.  Personally, I'm sick of the whole mess.  I'm tired of being told we should provide for people who hate us, who want us eliminated, who demand what they have not earned, and who act as though their own hate somehow makes us the "bad guys".  It's BS, and I'm not playing their game.  I won't use their demanded terms, I won't pretend that everyone is the same, and I certainly won't excuse bad behavior just because of someone's race or national origin or belief system.  I won't accept blame for their issues, either.  No, all people are not the same.  No, all cultures are not equal.  All can have the same chance, and people should treat one another decently, but when some prefer violence, or to leech off others, and worse, we should not condone that because of some protected group status.  We should not tell ourselves to feel guilty because someone else wants to be bad, and blame us for it.  These days, they are actually claiming that babies and toddlers can be racist.  I kid you not.  More on that in another blog, though.
