Earlier this month, President Biden took credit for the July inflation rate being “only” 8.5 percent. Now that July border numbers are finally public, the White House may take credit for the fact that “only” 199,976 illegal aliens crossed our border, down from 207,416 in June. A minor drop in border encounters is not encouraging. Traditionally, numbers drop in the hottest summer months, and last month’s figures actually represent a 325 percent increase over the average number of July apprehensions under the Trump administration. . . .

Wages look a lot better for local workers on Cape Cod this summer because the number of foreign workers has collapsed, which, with a low unemployment rate nationwide, caused a labor shortage, boosting wages exactly as Harvard economist George Borjas has long predicted [Yes, Immigration Hurts American Workers, by George Borjas, Politico Magazine, September 1, 2016].

I visited Cape Cod a couple of weeks ago and saw a Starbucks ad in a local newspaper. The globe-straddling coffee emporium offered workers a seasonal bonus rate of $5 an hour at several locations. The reason: It can’t get enough employees. Instead of offering $14.25 an hour to cashiers, Starbucks will pay $19.25. If the Cape had its normal influx of low-wage temporary workers from countries where many people earn under five figures per year, it’s hard to imagine that the company would offer the same wage. . . .

It’s summer! Which means if you are reading this blog you are probably not in The Hamptons hanging out with the likes of Jay-Z, Beyoncé, the Cuomo brothers, Wall Street power brokers, and the other elitists who demand that the rest of us open up our borders, our hearts and our wallets to wave after wave of illegal aliens. . . .

All those who are in denial about the moral rot that accompanies unchecked illegal immigration and the culpability of those who enable it, cast your eyes to Luverne, Alabama. That is where a major multinational corporation, Hyundai Motors, has been found to be employing children as young as 12 years old to stamp out parts for vehicles they assemble in a nearby plant. . . .

Left-wing activists are successfully converting millions of economic migrants into Democratic-leaning voters for the 2022 election, says a new report by left-wing groups.

“The new American majority has begun to demonstrate its power in numbers,” says the July 20 report, titled “NEW AMERICAN VOTERS 2022: Harnessing the Power of Naturalized Citizens.” . . . Read more about Progressives Boast of 5 Million Immigrant Voters

Friday on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) mocked New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) for complaining about busloads of border crossers and illegal aliens arriving in his city after previously supporting policies that promoted illegal immigration.

After outlining how Adams’ city was a “magnet” for illegal immigrants by making them eligible for assistance programs, Cammack told the mayor that if “you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.” . . .

President Joe Biden isn’t doing much to stem the record numbers of illegal immigrants pouring into America across the southern border.

If, however, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement happens to take a pregnant woman into custody and that woman wants to kill her child, the administration will go out of its way to make sure she can. . . .

From the moment he took office, President Joe Biden set out on a warpath to reverse as many of his predecessor’s policies as he could.

Surely Biden realizes that his most appealing quality to the tens of millions who voted for him was that he’s not Donald Trump, and he wasted no time at all in making that clear.

Regarding immigration, Biden immediately halted the building of a wall on our southern border, which was almost completed during Trump’s presidency. . . . Read more about Biden Further Opens the Immigration Door to Some Illegal Entrants

While the overall unemployment rate for immigrants and the U.S.-born has returned to pre-pandemic levels, this obscures the low labor force participation rate of the U.S.-born, particularly those without a bachelor’s degree. The unemployed only includes those who have actively looked for a job in the prior four weeks, while labor force participation measures the share of all working-age people holding a job or actively looking for one. If the labor force participation rate for these less-educated Americans was the same in 2022 as it was 2000, then seven million more people would be in the labor force. . . .
