Democrats Care More About Helping Illegal Aliens Than Americans

TrumpJoseph Curl – The contrast is stark.

While President Trump is working daily to improve the economy, create good-paying jobs and solve pressing problems facing Americans, the biggest issue right now for Democrats running for president in 2020 is helping illegal aliens get into the United States to get services paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

Some candidates are literally going to Mexico to literally help foreigners literally cross the border.

Sen. Cory A. Booker, New Jersey Democrat, last week went into Mexico to help escort five female foreigners into the United States, according to Fox News. He crossed the El Paso, Texas, port of entry into Ciudad Juarez with several immigrant-rights attorneys to help the women get admitted into the U.S. after they had been sent back to Mexico.

The Engine of Inequality: Privilege

povertyCharles Hugh Smith – We all know wealth/income inequality is soaring. I’ve published many entries on this topic (please see the three charts below as a refresher), and it’s clear there are multiple sources of rising inequality: globalization and technology, which concentrate gains in relatively few hands, and inflation, which reduces the purchasing power of stagnating real wages.

But the dominant source of inequality is privilege–specifically, privilege that is institutionalized by the status quo.

The word “privilege” is tossed around rather loosely. What does it mean in economic and social terms? I differentiate between privilege, which is unearned, and advantaged, which is earned.

To reverse rising inequality, we must dismantle the institutionalized power of privilege and create universally accessible pathways to the advantages of building capital. A key part of my analysis is causally linking rising inequality, poverty and privilege.

Here is an excerpt of the book:

What Is Poverty?

That poverty is the lack of the material necessities of life is self-evident. The problem with this definition of poverty is that it naturally leads to the idea that the solution to poverty is to give people either material necessities and/or money to buy them. But this transfer is not a systemic solution to poverty, for it is based on a faulty understanding of poverty. Continue reading

The gift that keeps on giving: inner cities, violence, poverty, drugs

citiesJon Rappoport – Suppose, instead of meeting for three hours with Black Lives Matter leaders…

The President of the United States, seized with some unexplainable attack of conscience, or a drug-induced revelation, stood up in front of television cameras and spoke to the nation and the world about…

The real web that entangles and holds inner cities hostage.

Suppose the President suddenly said:

“My fellow Americans, the first thing you have to know is that, since 1966, when the federal government declared a War on Poverty, it has spent some two trillion dollars, much of it earmarked for the inner cities of America. And now, today, those areas are worse off than ever.

“For various reasons, including massive theft of funds, this War is a total failure.

“Second, the elite march toward Globalism—the control of the planet exercised by a few powerful groups—has purposely sent manufacturing jobs out of America, and out of inner cities, to Third World countries—and one effect has been the massive loss of jobs here.

50 Years of Failure

Paul Rosenberg – Several decades ago, Saul Bellow wrote this:

For the first time in history, the human species as a whole has gone into politics. Everyone is in the act, and there is no telling what may come of it.

At this point, however, we can say what has come of it: failure. Politics has failed to deliver on nearly every promise it has made since the 1960s, and I think it’s time to hold it to account.

50 Years In

politics I was still a child in 1966, but I remember it fairly well. And I remember a good deal of the politics of the era, because my mom was involved with it. In fact, she helped to rewrite the Illinois State Constitution during those years. (Adoption came in 1970, but there were several years of work preceding it.)

So, I know what people in that time were hoping to get out of politics… what they firmly believed they would get out of politics. Here’s the list:

  • A solution to the race problem.
  • An end to a pointless war.
  • A solution to the Middle East problem.
  • To improve education.
  • A solution to the problems of poverty and welfare.
  • An elimination of police brutality.

Poverty, Overpopulation and Eugenics

educationKatherine Frisk – The solution to poverty, overpopulation and the obvious threat this poses to the dwindling availability of resources that cannot sustain large populations is obvious. But the solution requires investment, time, patience and hard work. It requires money.

In the 20th century all of this was available to us, but many instead chose more profitable options such as armed conflict and genocide which is the aftermath of war; or poisonous genetically modified maize which increases infertility and cancer rates; vaccines disguised as anti-malaria in order to make women infertile; or viruses like HIV, Bird Flu, Mad Cow disease or Ebola. Cull ém and make a profit.

The real solution is the education of women. All women. This requires money and investment. Singapore took this option and in a short span of time, reduced poverty levels and created a stable population growth rate that would not threaten this islands limited resources. Birth control and family planning was part of the program. They did not resort to dictatorship coups and the culling that invariably ensues justifying these actions with excuses that range from “political dissidents,” “liberals,””communists,” “terrorists” or “engineered civil war.”

A country like India which has a disastrous over population problem and poverty levels so horrific that are not seen in many other parts of the world, is exacerbated by little to no education for the majority of women coupled with a medieval caste system. The cause is a social and economic system where women are third class citizens, forced into arranged marriages, the purpose of which is the transference of wealth from the bride’s family to the bridegroom with expensive dowries attached. In other words, parents pay a heavy price to marry off their daughters. The resulting poverty and overpopulation is dealt with by abducting women and forcing them to have their tubes tied rather than educate them. Bride killings are also common.

In South Africa poverty levels even after 20 years of ANC rule is still blamed on “the whites.” A convenient whipping boy for all current social, economic and political problems. But the root cause for high poverty levels and unemployment is the low standard of education for the vast majority of black women, coupled with a disastrous social scourge where almost 50% of women are single parents, some supporting up to six children with little to no financial and emotional support from the fathers of those children. The situation has been exacerbated by a decline in family values and responsible parenting; high divorce rates; the institution of marriage denigrated; and the proliferation of hard-core and often violent pornography that has as its spawn, rape, sexual child abuse, teenage prostitution and unwanted babies.
