"Last week the federal government unilaterally extended temporary work authorization to hundreds of thousands of Aliens currently in the country with a work permit. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) granted an automatic 540-day extension of all work authorizations to eligible foreign nationals in the U.S.
The new 540-day extension is a massive expansion of the standard 180-day extension last offered to foreign nationals by USCIS in November of last year.
According to the administration, the work permit extension is just part of an effort to ease USCIS backlogs and save time. But in reality, the vast extension is just another effort by the Biden Administration to welcome and employ as many foreign nationals as possible despite the national interest or American workers interests..
In March 2022, USCIS reported an employment authorization backlog of approximately 740,000 applications."
Despite the 986,000 immigrants reported as unemployed in March, the foreign-born working-age population expanded by some 1.4 million, Y-O-Y, for the seventh straight month. Thus the growth in the immigrant workforce population far exceeded the job growth recorded by either the Payroll Survey (431,000) or the Household Survey (736,000) USCIS May, 2022
From March 2021 to March 2022:
Immigrant employment rose by 2.286 million, an eye-popping 8.8% gain, while native-born American employment rose by 5.326 million, a 4.3% gain. ADVANTAGE IMMIGRANTS
The immigrant adult population rose by 1.397 million, a gain of 3.10%, Y-O-Y, while the corresponding native-born American population increased 1.044 million—a 0.48% rise. ADVANTAGE IMMIGRANTS
The immigrant labor force (people working or looking for work) grew by 4.98%, more than twice the 1.88% gain in the native-born labor force. ADVANTAGE IMMIGRANTS
The data are from a survey of households which includes self-employed workers, agricultural workers, and private family workers, who are excluded from the more widely cited Payroll Survey. Also overlooked, we contend, are illegal immigrants working “off the books” in large corporations.
Labor Force Participation Rates rose for both native-born Americans and immigrants, but the 1.1 % point (or 1.71%) gain for immigrants was larger than the corresponding gains for native-born workers. ADVANTAGE IMMIGRANTS
Unemployment rates for native-born workers fell by 2.2 percentage points, or 36.7%, while immigrant unemployment rates fell by 3.4 points, or 60.0%. ADVANTAGE IMMIGRANTS
5.691
million native-born, and 1.092 million immigrants, were
unemployed
in February; over the past 12 months the number of
unemployed immigrants fell by 47.6%, while native-born jobless
declined by 35.4%. ADVANTAGE

The big picture: The U.S. economy still has roughly 1.6 million fewer jobs than before the mass layoffs that began in February 2020.

"Immigration Is No Fix for Inflation
Analysis
shows cutting wages by increasing foreign workers
wouldn't
significantly reduce prices and would harm the poor
Washington,
D.C. (May 4, 2022) – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other
lobbying groups have called for increases in immigration to reduce
wages and control inflation. A new analysis by the Center for
Immigration Studies estimates that even substantially reducing wages
for all less-educated workers, or in the occupations where they are
concentrated, would have a negligible impact on consumer prices
because such workers account for only a modest share of the GDP.
“It
is simply not possible to control inflation by reducing the wages of
the less-educated because such workers earn so little to begin with,”
said the report’s lead author, CIS Director of Research Steven
Camarota. “Bringing in more foreign workers to lower the wages
of workers who don’t earn much in the first place also seems
grossly unfair.”

Open Borders Reps' Con Attempt for Alien Amnesty et.al. via "Save Title 42" -- Help STOP it!
ACTION; Contact your Members of Congress and insist they Save Title 42 for Health reasons, HOWEVER, insist that they NOT use any Bill saving Title 42 as a PRETEXT for enacting an Illegal Alien Amnesty and/or increasing Legal Immigration in any way which some Open Borders Reps. plan to do.as described below.
In sum, the Dems "Save Title 42" Effort/Bill is a COVER for Asylum for ALL the Millions of Illegals in the USA plus those incoming, plus a dramatic increase in legal Immigration
How so:
The New York Times recently reported that President Joe Biden’s decision to end the CDC’s public health order, Title 42, on May 23, 2022 could result in upwards of 18,000 illegal border crossings a day. If this prediction comes true and the administration does nothing to hamper it - the U.S. could be forced to accept over 6.5 million illegal aliens per year.
For comparison, in Fiscal Year 2021, when the U.S. saw the largest number of illegal aliens crossing the southern border in history - the surge averaged approximately 6,000 alien encounters per day, nearly one-third of what is projected by the NYT if Title 42 is ended by the Biden Admin.
Title 42 allowed U.S. immigration enforcement officers to immediately expel migrants in order to slow the spread of Covid-19. Title 42 was one of the few Trump Admin. policies President Biden decided to keep during the first year of his administration
Panicked Democrats are suddenly urging the Biden administration to have a plan in place before Title 42 officially ends on May 23. But what, exactly, is their plan?
In fact, they are quietly trying to pave the way for massive expansions in the number, method, and ease by which illegal and legal migrants can come to and remain in the United States
via a "Save Title 42 Bill".
If you look closely at their quotes, press releases, and letters, one thing is clear: Their “plan” is to process every migrant in the impending wave smoothly and efficiently
That is to GIVE ALL ILLEGALS ASYLUM and GREATLY INCREASE LEGAL IMMIGRATION........
Consider the details of the New Alien Amnesty Bill:
Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) introduced the Bill( The Dignity Act H.R.6637) alongside six RINO Republican colleagues that provides amnesty for millions of illegal aliens in exchange for a few border security and immigration enforcement crumbs.
Rep. John Curtis (R-UT) says that Bill that gives amnesty to illegal aliens and expands pipelines for foreign visa workers will be a boost for business. “The Dignity Act” provides green cards to the nation’s (over 22 million) illegals while expanding visa programs to more readily outsource American jobs.
Curtis is co-sponsoring the bill alongside Reps. Dan Newhouse (R-WA), Pete Sessions (R-TX), Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon (R-PR), Tom Reed (R-NY), and Peter Meijer (R-MI). --all up for reelection this year!! Predictably The bill is backed by the United States Chamber of Commerce and the Niskanen Center.
“… the Dignity Act balances the need for a secure and working border with compassionate policies that keep families together, ensures employers have access to reliable foreign workers, and welcomes people into our society and communities,” Curtis said in a statement.
Curtis’s donors include mega multinational corporations like Comcast, Alphabet Inc., Berkshire Hathaway, and AT&T, among others, which have a vested financial interest in driving as many foreign nationals to the U.S. as possible.to get the Cheap Labor
The plan’s amnesty provisions allow millions of illegal aliens to immediately secure green cards while millions more are put on a 10-year track to obtain green cards while holding work permits.
Also included, are expansions of the H-2A and H-2B visa programs that deliver tens of thousands of foreign workers to U.S. farms and seasonal employers every year. With the H-2B visa, the plan exempts returning foreign workers from the annual cap, while the H-2A visa provisions will make hiring foreign farmworkers easier
Key Open Borders Provisions & others in The Dignity Act
First, it creates a legal pathway to citizenship for “Dreamers,” AKA AMNESTY defined under the terms of the American Dream and Promise Act .and also includes provisions from the Farm Workforce Modernization Act (H.R. 1603) (both bills introduced earlier), which legalizes millions of illegal alien farmworkers and reduces protections for American workers in the already-unlimited H-2A visa program!!!.
Rep. Salazar attempts a linguistic sweetner title for her proposed “Dignity Program” and “Redemption Program.” The Dignity Program creates a 10 year period in which illegal aliens not covered by the H.R. 6 or H.R. 1603 provisions receive work permits and protection from deportation so long as they do not commit crimes and pay $1,000 every year into an “American worker fund.” This fund will, per the release, “provide grants to American citizens for workforce education initiatives, apprentice programs, and Career and Technical Education-- a sop to the restrictionists.”
However The optional Redemption Program also gives illegal aliens the opportunity to earn a green card through 5 years of English and civics education as well as further restitution payments.
Another outrageous provision , is the expansion of the H-2B guest worker program via the inclusion of the H-2B Returning Worker Exemption Act
The H-2B guest worker program allows hiring MILLIONS of foreign workers at lower-than-average wages, providing employers with an incentive to avoid hiring Americans.
But the Dignity Act also includes a very diluted version of Mandatory E-Verify--one positive sop for restrictionists
Mandatory E-Verify would be implemented through the use of the Legal Workforce Act first proposed by Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.). The bill phases employers into the program in stages, depending on the size of their company, and must re-verify existing employees if they did not have E-Verify in place already:
However, agricultural employers – responsible for hiring a large number of illegal aliens – have 2.5 years to enroll their employees in E-Verify!!!! – a requirement likely to be extended.
Border Wall Construction and Investment--another good provision BUT would the Biden Administration implement it if passed??!!
The bill calls for restarting border wall contracts that the Biden administration ended when President Biden entered office. It also proposes implementing other border technologies, specifying “radar, cameras, infrared, secure communications, and autonomous detection technology.” The legislation also provides the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with the ability to hire 3,000 additional border agents and personnel.
The Bill also authorizes "Asylum Processing Centers"-- a Delusion which would not help stem the flow
The bill would establish four regional processing centers to house aliens claiming asylum. Salazar claims that this would end catch-and-release policies while cases work their way through the immigration court system.
but it addresses a symptom of the problem rather than the cause itself. Holding aliens in detention during their immigration proceedings would stop catch-and-release, but only if you can hold all asylum claimants. Given the state of the border crisis, this is almost impossible. Since Joe Biden became president in January 2021, Border Patrol apprehended over 2 million illegal aliens at the border. The vast majority claimed asylum.
Are four processing centers going to house 2 million aliens at once? This is just for a single year. Detention centers could not possibly house all of the people who travel to the U.S. to claim asylum. Detaining aliens would lead to downstream effects on human trafficking, and numbers could lessen, but the point remains the same – there are too many people making fraudulent claims. Without an enormous increase in immigration judges, those cases will further add to the growing backlog, increasing detention time. The bill includes adding 150 immigration judge teams and 300 asylum officers. The impact of that would still not be enough to meaningfully reduce backlogs, given current trends.
This is not a realistic way to end the border crisis. The cause of the crisis is our very liberal asylum laws, not a lack of detention space.--asylum will continue to be a major loophole for determined illegal aliens, including drug smugglers,(think Fentanyl) and human traffickers, and violent gang members..
Conclusion
Rep. Salazar’s bill when grafted onto the "Save Title 42 bill" is basically mainly a con-job that provides open borders cheap labor Republicans plus Democrats and Alliance members a Mass Alien Amnesty bill plus a bill which increases legal immigration which they enact any time this year UNLESS WE STOP THEM.
So please help BALANCE STOP the CON Job
And when opposing this CON Job emphasize the NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS;
- With 200,000 Illegals flooding monthly across the Border already, a Mass Amnesty would increase
- the amount of Fentanyl deaths in the USA, already at record levels
- increase the child Trafficking
- increase the number of Covid infected in the USA
- increase the power of The Cartels operating in the USA!
- increase the number of Gang members (e.g. MS13) operating in the USA
- THE NUMBER OF COUNTIES ALREADY DRINKING TOILET TO TAP WATER! (TWO IN CALIFORNIA ALREADY!)
- In sum the sheer increase in numbers would increase the water shortages (population longages!!) in California and the South and Midwest
- And remember that for every person added to the U.S, population one acre farmland or Habitat (for the Critters) is lost to developed uses -- Habitat loss has been responsible for the extinction of several Butterfly and other species in the USA.
Conclusion Rep. Salazar’s Mass Alien Amnesty bill is basically mainly a con-job that open borders cheap labor Republicans plus Democrats can enact any time this year UNLESS WE STOP THEM.
So please help BALANCE stop The largest Illegal Alien Amnesty in U.S. History and end MASS legal immigration!

Pushing any less restrictive number, as the two National Mass Immigration Management Groups do, will likely result in a Compromise Bill reducing the numbers by just a few hundred thousand at most..... a totally unacceptable result.
Indeed, since those two National Mass Immigration Management groups refuse to support any Moratorium Bill (like Rep. Gosar's e.g.)
THEY ARE DE FACTO ENABLERS OF CONTINUING MASS IMMIGRATION!
