Have you forgotten how Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration was constantly referred to as being racist?

For example see: The Racism Behind Trump's New ‘Public Charge’ Immigration Policy, Explained

"The changes to the “public charge” rule fit into a long history of attempting to restrict immigration based on race and ethnicity."

But the truth is, as far back as our colonial period, public charge laws had nothing to do with racism and were enacted to prohibit the immigration of individuals who might become a public charge. One such law forbid ”… the admission of indigent migrants. This law was followed in the 18th century by other laws prohibiting the landing of “Sick, Lame, or Otherwise Infirm Persons,” and calling for bonds that were forfeited if immigrants of questionable means became public charges.” See: Public Charge Provisions of Immigration Law: A Brief Historical Background

Especially black Americans.

Quote:
In 2008, Vernon Briggs, Emeritus Professor of Labor Economics at Cornell University, testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. He stated matter-of-factly that there was “little doubt” that black Americans are the “major loser” in the immigration equation. Briggs explained:
Because most illegal immigrants overwhelmingly seek work in the low skilled labor market and because the black American labor force is so disproportionately concentrated in this same low wage sector, there is little doubt that there is significant overlap in competition for jobs in this sector of the labor market. Given the inordinately high unemployment rates for low skilled black workers…it is obvious that the major loser in this competition are low skilled black workers.
Quote:
These findings are backed up by decades of studies. For example, a 1995 study conducted by Augustine Kposowa found that when compared to white Americans, “non-whites appear to lose jobs to immigrants and their earnings are more depressed by immigrants.” These non-whites mostly include black and Hispanic American citizens.


A 1998 study of the New York area by David Howell and Elizabeth Mueller of the New School for Social Research found that a 10 percent increase in the immigrant share of any given occupation reduced wages of the black men working in that occupation by five percentage points. Furthermore, the relationship held across a wide range of jobs. Basically, more immigration meant lower wages for black Americans.

You are spot on! The fact is, because of the Executive Orders Trump put in place, the flow of Central America's poverty stricken across our southern border was reduced to a trickle. But as soon as Biden took over he reversed Trump's Executive Orders dealing with immigration which immediately resulted in that trickle turning into a flood!

One of Trump's Executive Orders was ending “catch and release”, an Obama policy which allowed immigrants who entered the US illegally to be released from detention into our population, while awaiting a court hearing on their status.

But as soon as Biden took office he re-started "catch and release". See Biden reinstates ‘catch and release’ policy at the southern border And now we find news articles like the following: Mark Morgan: 30K Migrants Released Into US Since January

Sunday May 30, 2021

"Some 30,000 migrants who crossed the southern border and were taken into federal custody have been released into the United States since January as facilities to house them have been filled to overcapacity . . ."


The article continues:

"In an interview on CBS News’ "Face The Nation" Sunday, Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, said he learned of at least 2,000 illegal immigrants in southern Texas who were released by Border Patrol agents without having been given notice to appear in an ICE court, calling it an "unprecedented" number."

With news like this ___ the restarting of catch and release and ending court appearances ___ allowing Central America's poverty stricken direct entry into our nation's population, it's no wonder we now have a massive flooding across our border and American citizens paying the price.


How on earth is this promoting the general welfare of the United States and her citizens?

Bleeding hearts (whom are mostly self-hating white liberals) and ethnocentrics don't care though because they feel they stand to gain in the end. Bleeding hearts who are usually Democrats feel all sanctimoneous about helping the poor and downtrodden and they don't understand the fiscal ramifications of doing that in unlimited numbers as is what is happening at our border right now. Being Democrats they are also looking for future votes and extra representation in congress via them being added to our census numbers.

Ethnocentrics usually have ethnic and familial ties to these illegal aliens and asylum seekers. They want as many of their own kind to be able to get into our country that can crawl, sneak in or swim here. It's self-serving and racist in nature. They to want to gain demographic power in our country.

I have no use for either of these anti-American agendas nor should any law abiding, patriotic American.

It is difficult for me to imagine they [bleeding heart white liberals] are unaware of the devastating social and economic effects which this ongoing and massive influx of Central America's poverty stricken, poorly educated, low skilled, diseased, disabled and criminal population is having on American citizens and their children.

Of course, the destructive consequences of this massive invasion is almost exclusively felt in our nation's inner cities, far away from the suburbs and gated communities where bleeding hearts and white liberals generally live. Perhaps, if they paid a visit to our nation's poor communities and their schools, they would witness first hand how our nation's poor citizens and their children are paying the price for the current and reckless importation of Central America's poverty.

Well as I described in my post bleeding heart, white and most liberals in general think the end justifies the means. It's really that simple. That and their sanctimoneous belief that we owe the whole world's poor and needy a shot at a better life on our soil. Clueless fools that that they are.

Why should they complain, free healthcare, education and food. Why do the Trumpers complain? Because the people that elected Biden are clueless to his agenda and voted against Trump because they didn't like his personality. Hmmm, intelligent thinking?

Every single thing this administration has done has been bad for Americans. The houseplant in the oval office has been great for globalism, the military industrial complex, illegal aliens, the Kennedy Center and rebuilding self-destroyed democrat-run cities with taxpayer dollars. He's been terrible for jobs in the oil industry, peace in the middle east, inflation, small business recovery, southern border states and the constitution in general.

His puppeteers hold his shaky hands as he works on his paint-by-numbers picture of the wrecking of America.
