Washington Post Writer: Solve Inflation With MORE Immigration

Suggests that further problems will occur not with “too many immigrants” but rather “too few”

A Washington Post columnist suggested Monday that the magic solution to rampant inflation and supply chain impediments would be to allow more illegal immigrants into the country.

Catherine Rampell wrote a piece titled that “Democrats are missing the bigger immigration issue,” noting that “Democrats are terrified that a coming border surge might tank their midterm chances.”

She then went on to suggest that problems will occur not with “too many immigrants” but rather “too few.”

Rampell claims, without any evidence or authority, that inflation will start to recede if there are more migrants “who can fill critical labor-market shortages.”

She writes, “The United States is experiencing inflationary levels not seen in four decades. Americans are unhappy, and they are more than five times as likely to cite “inflation,” “cost of living” or the economy in general than immigration as the nation’s biggest problem. These economic concerns are, however, rooted at least partly in immigration policy.”

Rampell continues, “there remains huge demand among foreign-born workers to contribute to the U.S. economy,” adding “the many businesses that rely on these workers are losing critical staff, making inflation worse.” 

She concludes that more immigration will only benefit Americans financially “and, by extension, Democrats’ political fortunes.”

Of course, the notion that supply chain problems are solely to blame for inflation is moronic.

As Harvard economist and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers has repeatedly pointed out, inflation is a direct cause of the Federal Reserve being “behind the curve” on interest rates and the Biden Administration’s massive increase in spending, including the $1.9-trillion covid-relief legislation.

As we noted yesterday,  Biden intends to scrap the Title 42 public health authority, which border officials have estimated will increase the number of immigrants traveling to the border three fold to 18,000 per day.

Appearing on CBS News, former DHS head Jeh Johnson warned that “Numbers at these levels are difficult to handle on the southern border,” adding “Communities on the southern border, catholic charities, the volunteers, difficult to absorb these types of numbers under almost any scenario.”

Arizona GOP Rep. Andy Biggs warned that numbers will be even higher than estimated, suggesting that 20,000 to 30,000 could surge the border every day if Title 42 is scrapped.

“I think this is a political ploy, it’s meant to happen. They campaigned on an open border,” Biggs stated, warning“If you think it’s bad now, the tsunami that’s coming is going to be overwhelming.”

    Video: Border Patrol Head Says Agency Cannot Protect U.S. Because They Are Forced To Process So Many Illegals

    “In terms of flow and the threats that we’re seeing with Fentanyl and with the criminal organizations that are our adversary, it’s about as bad as I’ve ever seen it”

    Jason Owens, the new head of the Border Patrol has warned that the agency is unable to protect Americans from “hardened criminals” smuggling in weapons, drugs and gang members because it is so overwhelmed with processing thousands of illegal immigrants every day.

    Appearing on ABC News, Owens stated that the Border Patrol cannot lawfully send back people illegally trying to enter the country over the Southern border, and has to “enforce the laws that are on the books.”

    “In terms of flow and the threats that we’re seeing with Fentanyl and with the criminal organizations that are our adversary, it’s about as bad as I’ve ever seen it,” Owens urged.

    He continued, “This isn’t sustainable. This is up-and-down the system, everybody is overwhelmed. Even the government of Mexico, which have been great partners for us, the U.S. Border Patrol, a lot of times our facilities are already over capacity.”

    Watch:

    House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner blasted the Biden administration Sunday, charging that they are “encouraging” unsustainable surges at the border.

    The GOP Rep. said that “the manner in which they have — have provided assistance to migrants, not really communicating that our borders should be closed. Instead, have encouraging an open border policy.”

    “You know, this is a national security and an economic security threat. On national security, we’ve seen individuals on the terrorist watch list be apprehended. We certainly see fentanyl and other drugs coming across the border. On economic security, you even have the mayor of New York saying that it’s destroying his city,” Turner added.

    He added that “the Biden administration just in the last 10 days took action to give 200,000 Venezuelans temporary protective status, which includes that they cannot be deported and work privileges.”

    “If we had the right policies, they wouldn’t be here. By providing them these — the open assistance, what you’re seeing is an encouragement for others to come,” he further asserted.

    Watch:

    Less than a quarter of American voters approve of Biden’s handling of the border, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll.

    Video: Biden Claims It’s REPUBLICANS Who Are “Undermining Our Border Security”

    Claims Trump “spent four years gutting the immigration system”

    Joe Biden claimed Thursday that it is really Republicans that are to blame for undermining the security of the southern border, despite a massive surge in numbers of illegal immigrants coming across under his administration.

    Addressing the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Biden also claimed President Trump “spent four years gutting the immigration system.”

    Watch:

    He further claimed that he has “developed federal experts” to deal with the surge of illegal immigrants, whatever that means:

    The comments came after Biden’s press secretary refused to answer questions about the massive influx, including a surge of over 10,000 in one day this week, sarcastically dismissing the issue out of hand:

    She said that using razor wire as a means of stoping illegals entering is a “political stunt.”

    Jean-Pierre instead claimed Biden has “taken historic action” on immigration:

    The border is literally wide open, resulting in over 100,000 illegal immigrants crossing in less than one month:

    Some Democrats still deny there is a problem:

    While others, mainly the ones in big cities, are saying enough is enough now:

    Cape Cod Residents Outraged At Democratic Governor’s Migrant Housing Plan

    Residents turned out in force.

    Earlier this month, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey declared a state of emergency in response to the surging number of migrants in state-managed shelters. Then, last week, the governor mobilized the National Guard to assist with the migrant crisis. Now, residents are outraged with the governor’s decision to house the migrants as Biden’s southern border crisis spreads nationwide. 

    Local newspaper The Bourne Enterprise reports anger spreads across the Cape Cod peninsula as “residents turned out in force to express opposition to the state’s opting to provide temporary housing for migrant families who have been relocated to Massachusetts.” 

    “Protesters outside the building that evening held signs reading “Americans First”; inside, residents at the lectern cited potential board of health regulations, as well as concerns with whether the public school system can accommodate children from the immigrant families,” the paper said. 

    Dozens of residents attended the Bourne Select Board meeting at the Bourne Veterans Memorial Community Center earlier this month to voice their opposition to Gov. Healey’s plan to transform parts of the Joint Base Cape Cod and local area hotels into migrant shelters. 

    Gov. Healey recently asked US Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for help to combat the migrant crisis after her Democratic colleagues in the White House and on Capitol Hill have been determined to undermine Trump-era border policies for open border ones – that have led to millions of illegals pouring into the country over the last several years. 

    The governor has stated, “Massachusetts is in a state of emergency,” and commended the deployment of the National Guard to assist with the migrant crisis. 

    In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams warned in recent weeks that the migrant crisis will “destroy” the metro area

    It’s all fun and games for Democrats until Biden’s disastrous open border policies flood progressive metro areas with illegals.

    Then these Democrats preach “NIMBY.”
