The nation’s immigration policies are built on a back-room corporatist bargain between Democrats and cheap-labor businesses, says an op-ed published in the New York Times.

Twenty-one top Democrat state officials are trying to block a White House reform that would protect Americans’ jobs and wages from hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants and economic migrants who try to get U.S. jobs.

Blue-collar and white-collar Americans “are being clobbered, they’re being killed,” former Vice President Joe Biden claimed at the January 14 Democrat debate in Iowa.

Immigration makes all of America richer, but it can make some Americans poorer, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says in a report issued January 9.

Rising wages are good for politicians, for employees, and for the economy, Tom Donohue, CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, told Breitbart News.  

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has valuable information about employment in the United States, including the top-paying first-time jobs.

Companies will face greater pressure in 2020 to recruit and train blue-collar Americans and also to pay extra wages, say company officials and economists.

Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and GOP Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) predicted Wednesday that they would pass their revised S.386 bill, which opens a new pathway for more foreign temporary workers to stay, take Americans’ jobs, and lobby for more green cards.

GOP Sen. Mike Lee’s revised S.386 Indian-giveaway bill makes a huge change in immigration law to help more than 600,000 Indians — but also may allow investors to flood the white-collar labor market with at least 100,000 extra foreign college-graduate workers each year. 

Joe Biden is promising investors that he will flood the white-collar labor market with a huge inflow of cheap foreign graduates, but he is offering only paperwork protections to the millions of U.S. graduates who will lose jobs, salaries, and careers.

Americans who oppose large-scale immigration are  “snakes and vermin,” says one of the most moderate columnists at the New York Times. 

Sen. Mike Lee’s S.386 green-card giveaway has created a new opponent: dairy farmers who fear his bill will kill their ability to recruit and reward long-serving dairy workers with U.S. green cards.

Nearly all House Democrats, plus a group of 34 Republicans, voted Wednesday to approve an amnesty for illegal farmworkers and to outsource more of the nation’s farm workforce to cheap H-2A visa workers.

The United Food and Commercial Workers union and several other left-wing, anti-poverty groups are opposing the Democrats’ amnesty-for-cheap-labor deal, which faces a vote in the House today.

Wages for blue-collar Americans are rising by 4.3 percent in 2019 — or 2.7 percent after inflation — in President Donald Trump’s tightening labor market, according to Goldman Sachs.

President Donald Trump’s low-migration economy is forcing many companies to boost Americans’ productivity with better software, faster robots, and more machines,  says a Reuters survey of company reports. 

President Donald Trump is converting the former “country club” GOP party to the party of blue-collar America, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal.

CNN, the New York Times, and the Democrat candidates ignored the huge issue of Americans’ flat wages and stalled salaries, even as President Donald Trump’s staff touted the rising blue-collar wages in his economy.

The Department of Justice is backing President Barack Obama’s award of work permits to roughly 800,000 ‘DACA’ illegal immigrants.

Business groups asked the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the DACA amnesty for 650,000 illegals — but their plea to the court cites two economic studies that predict Americans’ wages will rise if the DACA illegals are sent home. 

The Senate has scheduled a stealth “unanimous consent” vote today for the S.386 bill, which would offer many more green cards to Indian graduates if they take jobs from American college graduates.

President Donald Trump can claim credit for pushing poverty among black American adults to record lows, according to data in the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2018 economic report.

The nation’s chicken-processing companies created a covert cartel to suppress wages paid to many Americans and immigrants, accorkding to a lawsuit by the Handley Farah & Anderson law firm in Washington D.C.

Middle-class wages in California have risen by 1 percent in the last 40 years, says a study by the establishment California Budget and Policy Center. 

Joe Biden praised young ‘DACA’ illegal migrants as more American than Americans during a Thursday campaign event in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

Americans are getting higher wages and more labor-saving machines because companies cannot get enough immigrants, laments a pro-migration business reporter at the New York Times.

Illinois Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill on Thursday morning which would raise the minimum teacher pay in the state to $40,000.

The New York Times is hiding the huge impact of immigration on Americans’ wages to help portray President Donald Trump’s policies as “anti-immigrant.”

The scandal-plagued but little-known J-1 visa program gives 100,000 low-wage and low-tax seasonal workers to McDonald’s, Holiday Inn, Food Lion, Disney, and a myriad other employers who would otherwise have to recruit Americans workers with offers of higher pay.

Mark Zuckerberg’s group of West Coast investors is lobbying the GOP to keep illegal cheap labor flowing into Georgia.
