Illegal Immigration Crushes American’s Wages
By Paul Ebeling on July 1, 2018
In the latest Harvard/Harris Poll, about 48% of Americans say increased illegal immigration to the US reduces wages for workers, agreeing with decades of data that indicates mass immigration’s crushing impact on Americans’ wages.
Just 10% of Americans say illegal immigration increases US wages while 42% say illegal immigration does not impact wages.
About 73% of supporters of President Trump’s say illegal immigration reduces wages for Americans. Another nearly 60% of Americans living in rural regions of the country say illegal immigration reduces US wages.
As reported, a whistleblower in the California construction industry says American workers were once offered a starting wage of about $45 an hour in the late 1980’s.
Now, fast-forward to Y 2018, nearly 20 years into when illegal aliens began flooding the industry — wages have fallen by more than 50%, standing at just $11/hour.
With President Trump’s tightened labor market, there has been history-making wage growth for American workers in the construction industry, the garment industry, for workers employed at small businesses, Black Americans, and restaurant workers.
The tight labor market has also secured higher wages for overtime workers and high-paying, coveted white collar jobs for American teenagers.
Most recently, it was reported how the construction industry has had to recruit women to take jobs at higher wages rather than hiring illegal aliens.
A Chick-Fil-A in California even raised wages to $18 an hour to retain workers.
Labor data does not accurately explain the wage growth in pockets of blue-collar industries that Americans across the US have experienced due to The Trump Administration’s stricter immigration enforcement. This is largely due to the fact that labor data does not break down wage growth by occupation and industry.

Gang members allegedly committed 5 murders, conspired to murder 8 persons, engaged in kidnappings, extortion, and drug trafficking
BALTIMORE, Md. – A federal grand jury has returned a third superseding indictment charging twenty-four alleged members and associates of the gang MS-13. The indictment was returned on June 26, 2018 and unsealed yesterday.
The indictment was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Robert K. Hur; Acting Assistant Attorney General John P. Cronan of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division; Special Agent in Charge Gordon B. Johnson of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Baltimore Field Office; Acting Special Agent in Charge Cardell T. Morant of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (ICE-HSI) Baltimore Office; Chief Edward G. Hargis of the Frederick City Police Department; Frederick County State’s Attorney J. Charles Smith, III; Chief Timothy J. Altomare of the Anne Arundel County Police Department; Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney Wes Adams; Chief Henry P. Stawinski, III of the Prince George’s County Police Department; Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Angela D. Alsobrooks; Chief J. Thomas Manger of the Montgomery County Police Department; and Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy.
United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Robert K. Hur stated “MS-13 is one of the most violent and ruthless gangs on the streets today. Working with our state and local partners, and using the tools of our Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces, we are determined to dismantle this organization to make our communities in Maryland safer.”
“MS-13 is ravaging communities throughout the United States with brutal violence, recruiting children to their murderous ranks, destroying families, and leaving behind countless victims,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Cronan. “This indictment — which charges two dozen alleged MS-13 members with senseless acts of violence — is the latest example of the Department of Justice’s unwavering commitment to combatting violent gangs that prey on communities, whether in Maryland or elsewhere in our country.”
“This indictment is a direct result of the hard work and dedication shared by state, local and federal authorities in their efforts to combat violent gangs in our Maryland communities,” said Special Agent in Charge Gordon B. Johnson, of the FBI’s Baltimore Division. “We are committed to combating this epidemic of violence that often takes young lives and creates fear in our communities. The FBI and our partners will aggressively pursue gangs wherever they surface and are steadfast to making Maryland a safe place for our citizens.”
“We will not allow MS-13 and its members or their affiliates to bring their nefarious and deadly activities into our neighborhoods,” said Acting Special Agent in Charge Cardell T. Morant. “I am proud of the dedicated agents who have duly executed their duties in our collective pursuit of law, order and justice.”
Twenty-one defendants are charged with conspiracy to participate in a racketeering enterprise known as the La Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, including:
Jorge Raul Guerra Castillo, a/k/a “Pelon,” age 36;
Carlos Hernandez Diaz, a/k/a “Positivo,” age 25;
Milton Portillo Rodriguez, a/k/a “Little Gangster,” and “Seco,” age 23;
Juan Carlos Sandoval Rodriguez, a/k/a “Picaro,” age 19;
Francisco Ramirez Pena, a/k/a “Tepo,” and “Advertencia,” age 24;
Jose Alberto Sibrian Garcia, a/k/a “Chango,” age 26;
Darwin Arias Mejia, a/k/a “City,” and “City Boy,” age 25;
Miguel Lopez Abrego, a/k/a “Timido,” age 30;
Albaro Rosa Moreno, a/k/a “Slow,” age 23;
Ervin Arrue Figureoa, a/k/a “Tricky,” age 19;
Ronald Mendez Sosa, age 20;
Edwin Ruiz Urrutia, a/k/a “Sylvestre,” age 19;
Brenda Argueta Argueta, a/k/a “Prima,” age 19;
Carlos Ventura Morales, a/k/a “Pantaya,” age 30; and
Danny Hernandez Solorzano, a/k/a “Titre,” age 20.
The names of six other defendants charged in the racketeering conspiracy remain sealed.
In addition, Darvin Guerra Zacarias, a/k/a “Chapin,” age 26, and Luis Fernando Cruz Rodriguez, a/k/a “Catra,” age 21, are charged with conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering, along with Guerra Castillo, Hernandez Diaz, Portillo Rodriguez, Sandoval Rodriguez, Ramirez Pena, Arias Mejia, Rosa Moreno, Arrue Figueroa, Mendez Sosa, Ruiz Urrutia, and Argueta Argueta.
Samuel Diaz-Ramos, a/k/a “Pequeno,” age 32, is charged with money laundering conspiracy.
MS-13 is a national and international gang composed primarily of immigrants or descendants from El Salvador. Branches or “cliques” of MS-13, one of the largest street gangs in the United States, operate throughout Frederick County, Anne Arundel County, Prince George’s County, and Montgomery County, Maryland. All of the defendants except for Rosa Moreno were allegedly members and associates of the Fulton Locotes Salvatrucha clique of MS-13. The indictment alleges that Rosa Moreno was a member and associate of the Parkview Locos Salvatrucha clique of MS-13.
The six-count indictment alleges that from 2015 and continuing through 2017, MS-13 members and associates engaged in racketeering activity that included murders, conspiracies to commit murder, attempted murders, extortion, robbery, kidnapping, drug trafficking, and money laundering.
Specifically, the indictment alleges that the defendants murdered five individuals in Frederick, Anne Arundel, and Montgomery Counties, dismembering three of the victims. In addition, the defendants allegedly conspired to murder eight individuals, maiming and assaulting one of the individuals with a machete, shooting one individual in the head, and kidnapping and threatening another individual with a firearm to extract payment for extortion.
The maximum sentence for the racketeering conspiracy is 20 years in prison, or up to life if special circumstances are proven; a maximum of 10 years in prison for conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering; and a maximum of 20 years in prison for money laundering conspiracy. Initial appearances for the defendants began on June 27, 2018, in U.S. District Court in Baltimore.
An indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceedings.
United States Attorney Robert K. Hur commended the FBI; HSI; the Frederick City Police Department; the Anne Arundel, Montgomery, and Prince George’s County Police Departments; and the Anne Arundel, Frederick, Montgomery, and Prince George’s County State’s Attorneys for their work in the investigation, and recognized the Baltimore County Police Department for its assistance. Mr. Hur thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kenneth S. Clark and Matthew DellaBetta, and Trial Attorney Catherine K. Dick of the Department of Justice’s Organized Crime and Gang Section who are prosecuting this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.

Obama’s kids anti-borders protest today in Atlanta: “NO BORDERS, NO NATIONS, F**** TRUMP!”
WSB RADIO actually reported this! Here!
“NO BORDERS, NO NATIONS, F**** TRUMP!”
Their signs say, “Abolish Ice” and “F-Trump.”
About two dozen protestors remain outside the Atlanta City Detention Center. Some of them cursing at cops as the officers pass by heading into the jail. Members of the group like Brandon want to get rid of ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, despite the fact President Trump tweets he will never get rid of the federal agency.
Brandon tells WSB Radio he believes in a world without borders.
“We refuse to accept the mass incarceration of anyone, much less immigrants who come to our country seeking opportunity and security for themselves and their families.”
AJC story uses “progressive groups” to describe the anti-enforcement mob – better than the usual “civil rights groups” and “immigrant rights groups” – and maybe progress in reporting?

“The Atlanta march was one of the more than 700 planned to take place across the country as progressive organizations asked people to take to the streets to express their concern with the family-separation policy. Although President Donald Trump has signed an executive order ending the policy, children remain in detention centers and apart from their families.”

Elated v. Scared: Americans Are Divided on Justice Kennedy’s Retirement
By Richard Fausset, Farah Stockman and Jose A. Del Real
D.A. King, the head of an Atlanta-area group that opposes illegal immigration, heard word of Justice Anthony M. Kennedy’s retirementwhile vacationing on St. Simons Island, off the Georgia coast. He was elated thinking of the conservative who might replace him.
Kristen Clarke, a civil rights lawyer, heard the news on the radio not far from the Supreme Court itself, as she was driving to a Capitol Hill hearing about the Voting Rights Act. She figured her job defending voting rights was about to become much more of a challenge.
In West Hollywood, Curtis Collins was working out at Barry’s Bootcamp, and he said the Supreme Court justice’s announcement dominated the Wednesday afternoon conversation among the predominantly gay group of men exercising there. “Everybody was talking about it, how appalling it was,” he said. “Everyone was saying they were scared. We don’t normally talk about politics in there.”
And in North Carolina, as the news of the impending retirement flashed on Amy Mahle’s phone, she wondered whether God might soon answer her prayers — and let her finally see the high court overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case establishing a constitutional right to abortion. “I think it’s possible,” she said. “I would love that.”
It is not exactly shocking when an 81-year-old man decides to retire after 30 years on the job. And yet, Justice Kennedy’s announcement this week still managed to deliver a powerful jolt to the nation. His departure comes at a fragile time for the country, as a first-term president has vigorously assumed the role of disrupter-in-chief. President Trump said he wanted to pick a jurist who could serve at least 40 years on the court, potentially cementing the president’s impact on the country for generations.
For many liberals, the departure was almost too much to bear, particularly after a month in which they were disappointed by Supreme Court rulings that, among other things, narrowly upheld Mr. Trump’s travel ban, curtailed union power, and let stand a plan to purge state voter rolls in Ohio.
“We are so much more screwed today than we were yesterday, and we were pretty screwed yesterday,” said Monica Russo, a 41-year-old stay at home mother on Long Island, who had just put her daughter down for a nap when she saw the news on Twitter.
Coming on the heels of Tuesday’s decision upholding the travel ban, Ms. Russo felt overwhelmed.
“My stomach dropped,” she said. “I know that Trump is hellbent on replacing any justice with somebody who would be a threat to reproductive rights. It makes me want to do anything that I can to make sure that everybody knows the importance of voting in November.”
Americans of all political persuasions are now bracing for what is likely to be an incendiary confirmation battle, and pondering what effect a newly constituted court will have on longstanding issues, like abortion, and more recent controversies, like immigration, that Mr. Trump has stoked.
Mr. King, eagerly awaiting who will move into Mr. Kennedy’s office, is a well-known and influential activist in Georgia whose flavor of anti-illegal immigrant activism prefigured that of Mr. Trump: He is president of a group called The Dustin Inman Society, named for a teenage boy killed in 2000 in a wreck with an undocumented immigrant driver…Read the rest here.
