The MAGA or “America First” agenda places Americans at the head of the line, providing economic opportunity. Harris and Biden’s “America Last” agenda favors securing other countries’ borders while leaving America’s borders wide open. Economic opportunity is going to foreigners, not Americans.
One example is jobs. As a Fox affiliate reported, “Majority of employment growth since COVID-19 goes to immigrants.” Leave it to the mockingbird media to spin employment in the Outlaw Josey Wales fashion of pissing down your back and telling you it’s raining.
CNBC gaslights, “How immigrants are helping keep job growth hot.” Or from PBS, “How migrant workers have contributed to strong U.S. job growth.” Tell that to the millions of job-seeking Americans. Migrants first, Americans last.
I used the term “aliens” rather than “migrants” or “immigrants” in my title in polite deference to President Bill Clinton, who in his 1995 State of the Union address said, “All Americans…are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants.” He was spot on, so I honored him by using his words.
When it comes to Americans marrying foreign nationals, once again, it’s illegal aliens at the front of the line.
According to the New York Times,
President Biden on Tuesday granted far-reaching new protections for hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have been living in the United States illegally for years but are married to American citizens.
Under the new policy, some 500,000 undocumented spouses will be shielded from deportation and given a pathway to citizenship and the ability to work legally in the United States.
Note the words “illegally” and its euphemism “undocumented.” This is like calling “criminals” the tapioca- “justice-involved individuals.”
What about the spouses of American citizens, those who follow the rules (and the law), apply for a spousal visa, and wait years for approval, necessitating a long-distance international marriage?
The US State Department – Bureau of Consular Affairs – explains the process, using that triggering “alien” word again.
The first step is to file a Petition for Alien Relative, Form I-130, with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for your spouse to immigrate to the United States.
After USCIS approves the petition, it is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC).
Once the NVC determines the file is complete with all the required documents, they schedule the applicant’s interview appointment.
This sounds like the State Department’s version of the DMV.
