Report: Obama Administration Gearing Up to Produce Millions of Immigration Documents

An interesting article from www.numbersusa.com about the post-election executive amnesty. This follows this post about protests against the lack of immigration enforcement. This follows this post about the midterm elections that you should begin supporting your closest candidates for! Remember, “Amnesty” means ANY non-enforcement of existing immigration laws!

Report: Obama Administration Gearing Up to Produce Millions of Immigration Documents


Breitbart reports that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a draft solicitation for bids “to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements.” The October 6 notice seeks vendors able to produce at least four million immigration-related cards per year, with a possible “surge” in 2016 of 5 million additional cards.
The agency is seeking vendors that can produce both Permanent Residency Cards (green cards) and Employment Authorization Documentation (work permit) cards. The solicitation does not indicate the numbers needed for each card but the total contract seeks 34 million cards.
Breitbart quotes the Center for Immigration Studies’ Jessica Vaughan as saying that the solicitation “seems to indicate that the president is contemplating an enormous executive action that is even more expansive than the plan that Congress rejected in the 'Gang of Eight' bill.”
Federal agencies have been known to plan for contingencies, so the solicitation does not guarantee the Administration will follow through and purchase the cards. But a solicitation in January of this year seeking escorts for 65,000 unaccompanied alien children well predicted actual needs.
If the solicitation had been issued last year, one could conclude that it was preparation for implementing the so-called comprehensive immigration reform that most anticipated. But the passage of any immigration legislation in the short-term seems unlikely so Breitbart says the solicitation gives “additional credence to the possibility the move is in preparation for an executive amnesty by Obama.”

Tell President Obama to Stop Issuing Work Permits to Illegal Aliens

https://www.numbersusa.com/faxes?ID=14118

On Thursday, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano testified before the House Judiciary Committee. Much of this hearing revolved around President Obama's executive amnesty program, designed to extend deferred action (an amnesty) to at least 1.4 million illegal aliens and give them work permits.




Secretary Napolitano had few answers for the Committee's questions regarding specifics of the program, proving that DHS is ill-prepared to handle the massive influx of illegal aliens seeking sanctuary under the executive amnesty.







Please send a fax to President Obama telling him to suspend any issuance of work permits for illegal aliens until he has stated the criteria and allowed for public comment.

Media misses immigration angle in jobs analysis






By Jeremy Beck - posted on NumbersUSA



Over the past three months, the economy has created an average of 75,000 new jobs and the federal government has created an average of 75,000 new permanent U.S. job seekers via immigration. The mainstream media does not report the latter statistic. For years, NumbersUSA has talked about the 75,000 permanent work permits the federal government grants (on average) to immigrant workers every month. For the last three months, job creation has barely kept pace with the number of green cards issued - a fact that eluded the press and, therefore, much of the citizenryry.



Reporters do a slightly better job in acknowledging population growth's connection to the employment situation. Unemployment numbers are effected not just by new jobs created but by new workers seeking those jobs:



"We added 80,000 jobs in June. That’s not enough to keep up with population growth." (The June jobs report in one word: ‘unchanged’ Washington Post)

"The economy added only 80,000 jobs in June—much less than what is needed to keep up with natural population growth." (Jobs growth painfully slow; unemployed to remain too high for years The Statesman Journal)

But what the Stateman Journal explicitly states, and the Washington Post implies (that U.S. population growth is a completely natural phenomenon), is not true. In fact, U.S. population growth is primarily engineered by Congress via immigration policy. Seventy-five percent of U.S. population growth between 2000 and 2010 was due to 13.1 million new immigrants (legal and illegal) and 8.2 million births to immigrant mothers in that decade and the Census Bureau projects "86 percent of the population growth during the year 2050 may be due to the effects of post-1992 net immigration." The mainstream media hasn't made the connection and has never questioned the government's forced-growth policies during high unemployment.



By ignoring immigration's role in expanding the labor force, journalists give President Obama, presumptive GOP nominee Romney, and Congress a free pass on their role (potential role, in Romeny's case) in importing workers. The coverage of the June jobs report focused on job creation while ignoring worker importation:



"Each month that the economy produces fewer jobs than are needed just to keep pace with population growth adds to the burden the president faces as the clock ticks toward November." (For Obama, a jobs report that keeps stinging Washington Post);

"To simply drop the unemployment rate below 8 percent before election day, the economy will need to add 219,000 jobs in each of the four jobs reports between now and then — a prospect that, given the last three months, seems very unlikely." (President Obama’s troubling trend line on jobs Washington Post).

The Washington Post speculated that the "downbeat report is likely to put pressure on the Federal Reserve, Congress and the White House to do more to stimulate economic growth and new jobs," but wrote nothing about putting pressure on Congress and the White House to slow the increase in foreign job seekers.



MSNBC found no news-worthy connection between the President's amnesty and the unemployment situation. "Despite things appearing to break the president’s way in the past couple of weeks – from immigration to health care, we’re reminded this morning what this election is all about – the economy, with yet another mediocre-to-bad jobs report."



The Pew Hispanic Center estimates that Obama's policy could grant up to 1.4 million workers under 30 years old permission to compete with America's unemployed youth. But ABC didn't see any reason to raise the issue in its story, "People Under 30 ‘Desperate’ For Full-Time Jobs." The desperate Americans in ABC's story are among the most vulnerable to foreign worker competition. Reporters will get another crack at telling their story next month.
