Commentary by<\/em><\/span> Joe Schaeffer<\/a>\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/span>@Schaeff55<\/a><\/p>\n

You may have noticed that as fed-up Americans express their total exasperation over the illegal immigration crisis facing this nation, the big-box media organs of the ruling progressive establishment continue to pound away at themes 100 percent opposite of the reality citizens experience every day.<\/p>\n

There is a very good reason for this, and it underscores the pure, abject selfishness of an elitist class that is only concerned with preserving its comfortable parasitic existence at the expense of the general public. Read to the bottom and all will be explained.<\/p>\n

An enormous, obviously coordinated effort to promote the notion that massive immigration is needed to fill jobs and fuel the U.S. economy has been revving into overdrive of late. A staggering amount of brand name \u201cnews\u201d organizations are an active part of the operation.<\/p>\n

The dreary similarities in the various accounts make it crystal clear: this is a regime party line.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Chicago Sun-Times on April 9 published an op-ed<\/a> by two activists with a radical take: ALL illegal aliens should be given work permits:<\/p>\n

Far from \u201cpoisoning the blood of this country,\u201d as former President Donald Trump has said, immigrants are building and maintaining the very foundations of our society even as they remain unseen, unrecognized and underappreciated. It\u2019s time we changed that….<\/em><\/p>\n

We, along with a coalition of more than 85 nonprofit organizations, business leaders, faith organizations, and elected officials, <\/strong>call on [installed President Joe] Biden to extend work permits to all undocumented workers as quickly as possible<\/strong>. This is a common sense move that would help fill job vacancies while catalyzing economic growth, enhancing tax revenue, and fortifying workplace protections for those who have long contributed to our communities from the shadows.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Associated Press on April 12 dropped a feature \u201cnews\u201d article<\/a> picked up by major newspapers and other dominant media outlets across the country. Its main theme: Illegal alien labor is keeping the U.S. economy afloat.<\/p>\n

*Important side note (you\u2019ll see why further below): Washington, DC Swamp think tank the Brookings Institution is cited as a reliable source.<\/p>\n

Did you know the economy was prospering? Perhaps you missed that while your knees were buckling as you paid for your shockingly expensive supermarket staples in inflation-racked Bidenomics America:<\/p>\n

How has the economy managed to prosper<\/em><\/strong>, adding hundreds of thousands of jobs, month after month, at a time when the Federal Reserve has aggressively raised interest rates to fight inflation \u2014 normally a recipe for a recession?<\/em><\/p>\n

Increasingly, the answer appears to be immigrants<\/em><\/strong>. The influx of foreign-born adults vastly raised the supply of available workers after a U.S. labor shortage had left many companies unable to fill jobs.<\/em><\/p>\n

More workers filling more jobs and spending more money has helped drive economic growth and create still-more job openings. The availability of immigrant workers eased the pressure on companies to sharply raise wages and to then pass on their higher labor costs via higher prices that feed inflation<\/strong>. Though U.S. inflation remains elevated, it has plummeted from its levels of two years ago.<\/em><\/p>\n

Note that third paragraph. The AP is telling the American people that they should celebrate worker wages being kept artificially low by massive unchecked immigration.<\/p>\n

NBC News on April 7 filed its submission<\/a> for the Pravda-like chorus. Headline: \u201cHow immigrants are helping boost the U.S. job market without affecting inflation.\u201d<\/p>\n

*Important side note (you\u2019ll soon see why): Brookings is again cited as a reliable news source.<\/p>\n

The takeaway: Joe Biden\u2019s economic miracle is due largely to massive unchecked immigration:<\/p>\n

Economists increasingly believe that the post-pandemic surge in immigration is a key reason the economy has been able to grow steadily without pushing inflation higher<\/strong>, as the new arrivals have helped employers fill roles at levels of pay that have kept a lid on overall price growth.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In a note to clients published Friday, titled \u201cWhy we have both strong growth and lower inflation,\u201d Goldman Sachs chief U.S. economist David Mericle said rising immigration had boosted labor force growth. As a result, the strong demand that consumers continue to exhibit elsewhere is unlikely to raise prices by much, \u201cif at all,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Once again, NBC News echoes the corrosive narrative that low worker wages are good for all Americans.<\/p>\n

The Hill on April 10 chimed in<\/a> as well, with \u201cHow immigration is helping the economy defy expectations.\u201d It again serves as an apologia for cheap wages due to an immigration avalanche:<\/p>\n

At the same time, productivity has seen an upward trend over the past two years, indicating that workers could be producing more compared with how much they cost.<\/em><\/p>\n

A significant increase in the immigrant workforce could be adding to these dynamics, especially because immigrants tend to make less money than their native-born counterparts.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The shamelessness should be astounding. But, of course, it is not.<\/p>\n

These regime media apparatchiks fully know what is going on. The exploitation of vulnerable populations that in the long run lowers respect for all workers \u2013 legal citizens and illegal aliens alike:<\/p>\n

Deutsche Bank: most of the jobs growth last 2\/3 years is due to undocumented immigration, low wage jobs helping keep inflation in check.<\/p>\n
