Amy Klobuchar Promises Welcome for World’s Migrants

Klobuchar’s business-first immigration platform promises to raze Trump’s border reforms that are now blocking much illegal immigration and pressuring employers to raise wages for employees.

Her platform says she will allow migrants to seek asylum in the U.S. without leaving their home countries, will allow migrants to get asylum with claims of domestic violence. She will allow migrants who bring children to get released into the United States, will force more catch-and-release by shrinking detention spaces and banning private prisons and will convert deportation funds into welfare programs for migrants.

Those policies helped end the 2019 cross-border flood of roughly one million people in 2019, including hundreds of thousands of children who will further crowd the K-12 schools needed y the children of blue-collar Americans.

The 2019 inflow of one million migrants arrived alongside the one million new legal immigrants invited by the federal government and the more than one million foreign contract-workers who have been hired by private companies. That huge mass of three million migrants and contract workers are often eager to work for low wages, to share tenement housing, and also to push aside many of the four million Americans who turn 18 each year.

If President, @PeteButtigieg will decide if a community is "very much in need of growing its population" and he will make sure to send many more immigrants there on "fast-track" visas. https://t.co/ckpfnTQrSR

Klobuchar’s immigration platform revives the Cold War claims that American is a ‘Nation of Immigrants,” even though it is a nation of 285 million native-born American adults and children. Her immigration platform outlines:

Senator Klobuchar believes that immigrants don’t diminish America, they are America. She stands on the shoulders of immigrants and knows that immigration is a key part of moving our economy and our country forward. She is also proud to represent a state that has the largest Somali population and the second largest Hmong population, many of whom arrived as refugees.”

The Minnesota Senator has said many times she supported the 2014 ‘Gang of Eight’ amnesty that would have added 30 million immigrants to the nation’s population in just ten years.

A 2013 report by the Congressional Budget Office predicted the 2013 “Gang of Eight” amnesty and immigration bill would reduce the share of income that goes to wage earners and increase the share that goes to investors. “Because the bill would increase the rate of growth of the labor force, average wages would be held down in the first decade after enactment,” the CBO report said.

All that cheap labor would boost corporate profits and spike the stock market, the report said. “The rate of return on capital would be higher [than on labor] under the legislation than under current law throughout the next two decades,” says the report, titled “The Economic Impact of S. 744.”
