Some Legislators in a Lame Duck Congress feel less motivated to
Act in the Public’s Interest and more responsive to Special Interests such as
the Cheap Labor/Open Borders Lobby. Thus, the Threat of an Open Borders Lobby
Success is arguably greater than last year.
Recall last year, as year-end approached CCN took the lead in successfully
opposing the Cheap Labor Lobby’s
Jobs Giveaway bills:
Consider that the Bills we opposed a year ago are still a
Threat, indeed, a Greater Threat because of the Lame Duck.
“Every year, 800,000 Americans graduate from
College but S.386 (Harris D-CA) would give these jobs to 300,000 Indian
contract workers per year, plus other H1Bs which would be admitted under
S.386! Worse many Senators pushing this Bill are Selling out American Workers
by following the Lead of Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) who has received Donations
from the following Big “Cheap” Labor Lobby companies:
“Microsoft, $33,000; Google, $18,400; Amazon,
$12,500; Oracle, $11,000; Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook, $11,000 and the
Koch-owned Koch Agronomic Services, $11,000. (cf OpenSecrets.org)
“So Ask Senator Lee what his priorities are —
Jobs for Citizens of Utah and the USA or for the Cheap Labor Lobby
Mega-Companies who have donated lavishly to him.
“Fortunately, a CCN Activist facilitated
stopping Senator Lee’s attempt to have S.386 approved on “Unanimous Consent” by
emphasizing to Senator Perdue (R-Georgia), S.386’s disastrous consequences for
Americans which Perdue initially recognized then rescinded his
opposition thus caving to the Cheap Labor Lobby. The House version of S.386
passed weeks ago.
“But now, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), has nixed
Unanimous Consent, saying that S.386 does not allow enough Legal Immigrants!
Incredible!...”
“Oppose/Expose S.386
USA Jobs Giveaway & Sellout Senators,” CCN Alert, 09/26/2019
But as we approached Christmas, 2019, CCN Activists’ earlier
success was Betrayed by a Midnight Deal, but fortunately, Our Activism
derailed the Open Borders Midnight Deal Again! Consider our December, 2019
report:
CCN’s successful leadership a few weeks
ago in
- facilitating
the stopping of “Unanimous Consent” for S.386 “ ‘Fairness’ to Skilled
Workers” (AKA UNFairness to American Workers) Bill by Senator Kamala
Harris (D-CA) and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) which would inter alia have
allowed admission of 300,000 Indian workers annually plus
their families and
- facilitating
stopping the Midnight Merger of Senator Dick Durbin’s (D-IL) Open Borders
RELIEF Act with Harris/Lee’s S.386! (see CCN’s recent Alert)
was betrayed by Senators Lee (R UT) and
Durbin (D IL) late last week when they announced, while public attention was on
"Impeachment", they had agreed to merge their two Horrific
Bills
Among other provisions of this Merged Monster
Bill:
·
temporary Visa holders can get permanent Residence Visas,
and
·
can be employed without any safeguards protecting American
workers from being displaced by these visa holders
·
no limits on the number of visa workers as there were under the
H1b program, generating a Magnet effect for huge numbers of immigrants,
including more Illegals
·
that is the Merged Monster creates a de facto Amnesty for
Illegals
·
insufficient safeguards against hiring those with criminal records
— see CCN's earlier Alerts for more Details on these horrible Bills
In sum, three
Amnesty/Immigration Increase Bills are now headed to the
Senate!! Help stop them by contacting your Senators, Media and
Influencers
S.386 (aka UNFairness to
American Workers Bill – Big Tech & Cheap Labor Lobby) and (Open Borders
Relief Act) were linked in a midnight deal to betray Americans’ trust.
The Farm Workforce Modernization Act (H.R. 5038 which
favors Illegal Alien Workers over Americans) is headed for the
Senate.
HR 6 a Multi-Million Person Alien
Amnesty, not only of the DACAs but also of the Millions given Temporary
Protected Status.
Tell your Representatives to stop these
Taxpayer-funded gifts to Big Tech and Cheap Labor Lobby. Amnesty 2019 will
cost American taxpayers much more than the $330Billion per year that our Net Costs of
Legal Immigration Study has detailed.
In addition, tell your Representatives that
you want a Christmas Present
Demand that our National Legislators return to
all of their citizen-taxpaying-constituents their share of that $330Billion
that American Taxpayers already spend every year to subsidize LEGAL
Immigration — that is $758 Million/year* per Congressional District [Emphasis
added – Ed.]
As we have been saying for over ten
years the Only Position which generates enough Political Power to get
reductions in Legal and Illegal immigration is to
advocate a Zero-Net Moratorium.
“CCN Activists Betrayed by
Midnight Deal — Help Stop Amnesties 2019 Now! and
Insist Congress give us Citizens a $330 Billion Christmas Present,” CCN Alert,
12/11/2019
*(net
of Taxes Immigrants pay)-Ed.
In sum, last year, we CCN and ASAP! Coalition activists
succeeded!
But, given the Reality of the Lame Duck Congress, the Threat is
even Greater this year. And that is why it is even more important for we reductionists
to push an all-categories-included Zero-NET Moratorium on Legal Immigration.
Pushing for increments (e.g., Modest Reductions in the Total
appx. 1.6 Million Legal Immigrant Flow) as some Management groups do, is
counterproductive because, alone it fails to delegitimize and counter the
whole enterprise of Mass Legal and Illegal Immigration. Only
pushing for a Zero-NET Moratorium (which would still allow admissions of about
150,000 per year) does that!
In sum, only CCN and its ASAP! Coalition Allies have The Strategy for Success.
So,
please help us continue CCN’s work. Donations are Tax-Deductible. Help CCN intensify our efforts.
Important
to emphasize is that CCN is a Genuine Mass Immigration REDUCTION Group, so
Donations to CCN have far more impact dollar for dollar than Donations to Mass
Immigration MANAGEMENT Groups who refuse to support a Zero-Net Moratorium on
Legal.
Therefore,
CCN invites once again all genuine REDUCTIONIST organizations to Join
our Diversity
Coalition for an
Immigration MORATORIUM . . . a Coalition supported by many Immigrants
from all Ethnic Groups.
Carrying
Capacity Network Is Pro-Immigrant, Anti-Mass-Immigration.
Indeed,
the two largest Immigration MANAGEMENT Groups have de facto undermined our
efforts to reduce legal and illegal immigration.
One
says its goal is to stop Illegal Immigration, but refuses to acknowledge
the Magnet effect the uncapped Asylee and other Categories
in Legal Immigration have on drawing in illegal immigrants.
The
other group says it is for “lower immigration levels” but that too is entirely
Counterproductive because it sends the Message that Mass Immigration is OK but
just at lower levels.
As
we have been saying for over ten years, the ONLY Position which
generates enough Political Power to get reductions in Legal and Illegal immigration
is to advocate a Zero-Net Moratorium. Consider:
1. Stopping Illegal Immigration requires greatly Reducing
Legal Immigration
Indeed, the large numbers of “Slots” Available to Legal
Immigrants (e.g., the de facto Unlimited Asylee Category) creates
a Magnet effect for Illegal Aliens.
Indeed, the Uncapped Asylee category encourages Trafficking of Children,
because it allows any adult bringing a child into the U.S. to become
a de facto permanent resident.
2. Regarding Costs, consider this summary of CCN’s NET
COSTS Study:
U.S. Taxpayers Costs from legal immigration alone -
$330 BILLION PER YEAR NET (i.e., after subtracting Taxes Immigrants pay) ,
i.e.:
i. $3.3 TRILLION NET prospectively for the next Decade if Legal
immigration is not reduced.
ii. Does NOT include COSTS borne by States and Localities.
iii. $758 MILLION per Year NET for Each Congressional District.
That is, the NET costs of legal immigration average $1000 per U.S. Taxpayer per
year!
iv. 62% of legal immigrants get one or more “free” (i.e., U.S.
Taxpayer-funded) Health Care, Health Insurance, Food Stamps, Section 8 Housing
& Welfare.
3. EMPLOYMENT CONSEQUENCES
i. CCN Study — 5.9 MILLION AMERICANS HAVE BEEN DISPLACED from
JOBS SINCE 2005 by IMMIGRANT WORKERS. See www.carryingcapacity.org.
ii. Confirmed by two other studies, e.g., by Professor of Computer Science,
U.C. Davis, Norm Matloff Blog, “Vast Majority of H1B and related visa hires are
Cheap Labor Hires”
iii. And by Economist Ed Rubenstein writing for vdare.com
And
this displacement occurred before the displacement caused by
the Economic damage caused by the pandemic. There is no shortage of American
Workers! See recent Immigrant Employment Data from CIS.org in CCN’s
previous Alerts.
The
Solution: CCN has, for years,
supported is an all-categories-included Zero-Net MORATORIUM on
LEGAL Immigration. The number of immigrants admitted annually
consistent with Zero-Net Immigration would be approximately 150,000 (the
approximate number who emigrate every year), in contrast to the current number
of approximately 1.6 million annually. Contact your Senators and
Representatives to oppose these Bills and Support an all-categories-included
Zero-Net Moratorium.
And
it is especially important to Act Now because of the Impending Threat in the
Lame Duck Congress.
