Cutting a Deal on Immigration
By Peter Morici
In his State of the Union address, President Trump again proposed immigration reform. Critics among Democrats and conservative Republicans would do well to recognize his framework provides the basis for a compromise that serves the national interest and delivers a measure of fairness for Dreamers.
The current system neither addresses the needs of the economy nor helps build a culturally cohesive nation.
Out of a U.S. population of 326 million, 45 million are immigrants. One quarter is illegal and that has hardly changed in recent years. Declining birth rates in Mexico and elsewhere, better employment opportunities created by free trade agreements and stronger enforcement slowed the inflow before Mr. Trump became president.
In contrast to Canada and Australia, which face similar challenges, the United States emphasizes family reunification as opposed to workforce needs. Green cards are granted automatically to spouses, minor children and parents of U.S. citizens. Subject to limits, entry is offered to other relatives of citizens and legal immigrants and refugees.
The rules are complex but about 65 percent of immigrant visas are based on family ties and 15 percent on employment. The remainder is mostly through a lottery for underrepresented countries and refugees.
Thanks significantly to chain immigration - naturalized citizens and green-card holders pulling in relatives who in turn pull in other relatives - the immigrant population tends to be considerably older and less educated and employable than the native born population. About half qualify for means tested programs such as food stamps,
Immigrants tend to be concentrated among two groups: the elderly and those with less than a high school education who either don't work or compete for jobs with struggling less-skilled Americans, and those with more than a four-year college education - new arrivals doing jobs that not enough Americans are not trained to do in information technology, science and engineering or requiring other advanced degrees.
In an economy hard pressed by import competition and rapidly turning to labor-saving machines and artificial intelligence, the downward pressure on the wages wrought on Americans with a high school education or less is a cynical tyranny imposed by elites and politicians currying favor among ethnic voters - even if highly-skilled immigrants benefit the economy overall.
Not surprisingly, resentment about competition for jobs and social tensions tend to be concentrated in blue collar communities that voted for Mr. Trump.
Harmonious work climates in Manhattan's financial district, California's technology parks and other high powered environments illustrate that cultural affinities binding together similarly-educated professionals overwhelm ethnic differences among highly-skilled immigrants and native workers.
And the condescension of these elites on less fortunate Americans and the indifference of Democrats eager to harvest votes among minorities are important reasons Donald Trump now occupies the White House.
Mr. Trump's proposal would increase visas for highly-skilled immigrants, end chain immigration by limiting family visas to spouses and minor children, end the lottery and establish a pathway to citizenship for the Dreamers.
He is demanding funds for a wall along the southern border and other measures to bolster enforcement and security. In many places along the border, the idea of a wall is opposed even among many of his conservative supporters. Farmers and ranchers understand that physical barriers are often not as effective or cost efficient as investments in high tech surveillance and other deterrents.
Compromises offered by moderates in Congress generally water down Mr. Trump's proposals to end the lottery system and chain immigration.
Unless a politician or immigration advocate can justify green-card bingo or believes that an immigrant's first cousin once removed, through a visa granted his grandmother, is worthy of special consideration and preference over an electrical engineer, then such measures only appease the left's desire to cultivate more voters among ethnic groups aligned with immigrants.
Charges of racism are no more than demagoguery and a tactic to deflect from those base motivations.
The president should moderate his demands for physical barriers and compromise with the Democrats on the other issues - for example, accept a focused program to foster skilled based immigration from underrepresented countries in exchange for strict limits on family reunification and ending the lottery as recently suggested by a bipartisan group of 48 lawmakers.
Good immigration reform would serve the interests of all Americans - not just the powerful and privileged.

Confronting Leftist Lies
Leftists who hate America as founded dominate fake news media, Hollywood, public education, and social media. Their mission is to bring America down from her status as the world power. This is why leftists are so repulsed by Trump's desire to make America great again. Leftists hate the free market and seek to replace it with socialism; a big brother government controlling every aspect of our lives.
Leftists are liberals. Most people think "liberal" means having a live and let live attitude. The reality is that liberals are super aggressive, using government to force their ungodly agenda items down the throats of the masses. This why Obama hates our Constitution -- because it restricts government from dictating how we behave. Obama dissed our Constitution with these words: "a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can't do to you. Says what the federal government can't do to you but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf."

It says what the states can't do to you. Says what the federal government can't do to you but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf."
Obama's rant against our Constitution is typical leftist arrogance. They believe their superior intellect should grant them the authority to dictate how we peons should live.
Leftists are also obsessed with poking their finger in the eye of the God of Christianity; transforming America into an anything goes sexually society (bestiality, pedophilia, incest, and etc.). Leftists hate the God of Christianity because He requires moral standards of behavior.
John Adams said, "Our Constitution was made only for moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." The American left is in a relentless pursuit to strip America of an remnant of her moral and religious roots and heritage.
I watched Alex Azar being sworn in as the new secretary of HHS (Health and Human Services). It was truly refreshing to see Azar with his hand on the Bible, swearing his oath to God to defend our Constitution. Leftists have not successfully totally banned God from our government. Praise God.
It is a shame the way the American left has been allowed to indoctrinate generations of young Americans into believing this divinely conceived, unique experiment called America is the greatest source of evil on the planet. Our Christian roots, birthed out of the teachings of Jesus Christ, makes us the most loving, giving, and compassionate nation on the planet. We are Americans; good people blessed by God.
Since his election, Trump has dramatically dialed back Obama's legacy of government unlawfully usurping control of our lives. In a nutshell, Trump is making decisions, deals, and policies best for America. Leftists are out of their minds with rage and frustration. Every play in leftists' "How to Destroy a Republican" playbook has bombed big time against Trump. Fake news media has abandon any pretense of fair and balanced reporting. Every news story is either a distortion or blatant lie about Trump.
For example. Trump's tax cuts have already sparked a boom in our economy, beneficial to all Americans. Businesses are coming back from overseas. American companies are raising wages and giving bonuses. And yet, everywhere you turn, leftists are spreading their lie that Trump's tax cut only impacts the rich. Disgustingly, leftists always play upon our baser instincts; class envy and the sin of covetousness. Leftists want you to hate and feel victimized by anyone who has more than you.
Every day we must be truth warriors slaying lies from the American left about Trump, his agenda, and America.
Movies and TV shows are no longer mindless entertainment. Ninety-nine percent of what comes out of Hollywood is lies; designed to seduce Americans into embracing Leftists' ungodly agenda. Hollywood relentlessly demonizes Christians, America, mainstream Americans, and Trump.
Leftists in media, colleges and corporations are breaking new ground in their intense efforts to stop Trump's agenda and silence conservative speech.
Millions are outraged at the NFL. Americans who simply tuned in to watch Sunday football games were slapped in the face by NFL players, coaches, and management politically protesting on the field against our flag, country, national anthem, and police. And yet, NFL management had the audacity to reject an ad for the Superbowl program booklet, claiming it is too political. The ad featured a veteran, a U.S. flag and the words, "#Please Stand." The NFL's rejection of the ad is evidence of the NFL arrogantly supporting the American Left while dissing mainstream Americans.
Psychotherapist James Caspian specializes in studying transgenders. Leftists are bullying Caspian into silence for exposing the truth that transgenders who regret having sex change surgery are on the rise. Leftists always quickly seek to silence any truth that contradicts their agenda. We are in a war of Leftists' lies vs truth.
The 6 o'clock news was on the TV in the background while I was chatting with a relative at his home Folks, it was a truly painful experience. Every news story was liberal spin and/or lies. Programming after the news was seductive liberal propaganda. I watched my relatives unknowingly soaking in all the Leftist beautifully presented excrement. This is what we are up against, folks. If it were not for my Christian faith, I could be discouraged; believing our battle for the hearts and soul of America is already lost.
Since moving to West Virginia from Florida, I stumbled across One America News, a great source of real news on DirecTV. Dish Network refuses to carry OAN. Facebook is shutting down conservative pages. We are at war, folks.
Pray for God's wisdom and guidance. Boldly confront Leftists' lies with truth. God has given us a chance to take back America via President Trump. We have surrendered too much ground to the American Left. Time for us to stand for our flag, our country, and stand with Trump.
2a) Explosion over the Washington Swamp
On Friday morning, President Trump declassified the memo prepared by the Intelligence Committee of the House. This document was originally marked "Top Secret." Of course, there is nothing new for the inquisitive reader in this memo. Everything that is described there has long been widely discussed in America. But none of the participants in these discussions have ever had any evidence. Now this evidence, gathered during the closed sessions of the Intelligence Committee, has become public.
As a result, we know that the chain of events associated with the case of Trump's "criminal collusion with Putin" looks like this:
According to the memo, FBI leaders knew precisely where the dossier came from, but in the application to the FISC, they presented the dossier as a proven fact, and not as opposition research. It was not just a mere bureaucratic mistake -- the FBI used the dossier in such a way not once, but at least four times.
As a result, the Trump campaign was under surveillance by the FBI before the elections, after the elections, and even after the inauguration of President Trump.
Also, it became clear from the memo how the sale of this dirty product was conducted. Christopher Steele organized a "leak" of information from the dossier to the media. The article published in Yahoo News added some missing details, so it appeared like independent confirmation of the Russian dossier. In other words, the FBI submitted false information to the FISC about the authenticity of the Trump dossier. And as a "confirmation," they used an open publication organized by the authors of the dossier themselves.
Corruption in the highest echelons of power of the Obama administration is now no secret to anyone.
American intelligence agencies, like all other intelligence agencies around the world, have always been content with the level of "Gray Eminences." They were very close to any political power, but they have never formally become the heads of state. So, it was since ancient times, and it became an unwritten tradition until Putin came to power in Russia.
The coming to power of an intelligence officer aroused envy in all intelligence services in the world. After all, they consider themselves to be real rulers, and whoever is currently formally at the head of the state is unimportant. An additional irritant was that Putin came to power legally (meaning that if his coming to power was a coup led by intelligence agencies, then it was bloodless).
The first director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, was at the helm for almost 50 years. During this time, the FBI turned from a small agency that dealt with federal crimes to one of the leading political forces of Washington. Hoover transformed the FBI from a criminal investigation agency into a criminal and political investigation agency. The files he collected over the years (both real and imaginary) made the FBI a powerful lever of political influence.
Probably, Hoover could have become president if he wanted to. But he played the role of the "Gray Eminence" until the end. However, Putin violated the unofficial taboo.
Since the 1930s, thanks to the "active measures" of the Soviet intelligence services of the OGPU-NKVD-KGB-FSB, many American institutions have picked up the virus of socialism (in schools, universities, Hollywood, the State Department, etc.)
But during Cold War, an unusual "exchange of viruses" took place -- the KGB picked up the virus of American pragmatism and capitalism, and the FBI/CIA picked up the virus of socialism.
The American virus turned out to be so strong that the intelligence services of Russia succeeded in what the intelligence services of all countries dreamed about -- gaining political power in their country.
The Soviet virus was strong enough for the entire Democratic Party to be affected, but the CIA and the FBI were only partially infected. Another significant difference is that the American virus spread from the bottom up, that is, from rank-and-file Soviet agents to the top-level officers. On the contrary, the Soviet virus propagated from top to bottom, that is, the neo-Marxist worldview was implanted in America by appointing political activists, donors, and agitators of the Democratic Party to critical high-ranking posts.
Eventually, the coming to power of Putin pushed the top of the preconditioned American intelligence services to the idea of a bloodless coup to remove the unwanted President Trump from the Oval Office. They showed such scrupulous tactics in this matter to ensure all their steps were based on formal legal grounds. They did not dare install the “listening equipment” without the court's warrant.
But the Washington swamp miscalculated. The publication of the memo removes the veil only over one episode of the war that U.S. intelligence agencies are waging against the sitting president. Soon, other memos will follow, including the expected report of the Inspector General about power abuses at the FBI.
The Watergate scandal lasted more than two years, while this Obamagate outrage is a little more than a year. The explosion of the memo over the Washington swamp is only the first blast. It’s not going to be a long wait for more bombshell revelations in this matter.

As a result, we know that the chain of events associated with the case of Trump's "criminal collusion with Putin" looks like this:
- Trump's political opponents during the primaries hired the firm Fusion GPS, which specializes in opposition research, to dig up some dirt on Trump
- After Trump won the primaries, Fusion GPS lost the customer, but just for a short while
- The new customers of the dirt on Trump become the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC
- The new customers requested dirt on Trump from Fusion GPS, not only in the American domain but also in the international arena
- To add international dimension, Fusion GPS hired a subcontractor – former resident of British intelligence in Moscow Christopher Steele, known for his open anti-Trump beliefs
- Christopher Steele hired some former agents of the Russian intelligence services (against whom he once fought during the Cold War)
- The agents of Russian intelligence services concoct a dirty file on Trump (linguistic analysis confirmed that this dossier was written in "Russian English" with minimal editing by native English speakers)
- It is still unclear as to what extent these Russian agents were the "former" agents of the Russian intelligence services (that is, to what extent this dossier is fiction, and to what extent is it the deliberate work of the KGB/FSB disinformation effort)
- Trump's dossier, compiled by the Russians, gets to the FBI through the Assistant Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, who received it from his wife. At that time, she was working for Fusion GPS and was a part of the anti-Trump research team
- The FBI used this dossier as one of the key arguments in the secret intelligence court FISC to obtain a warrant to wiretap the Trump campaign
According to the memo, FBI leaders knew precisely where the dossier came from, but in the application to the FISC, they presented the dossier as a proven fact, and not as opposition research.
