Economist Accidentally Proves MAGA Right About Migrants In Mass Deportation Warning.

A Mexican economist’s criticism of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s plan to mass deport illegal immigrants from the United States inadvertently bolsters the America First leader’s arguments that migrants are driving up costs and negatively impacting the economy. Ismael Plascencia López, with the Northwest Mexico Federation of Economists, warns that Trump’s mass deportation plans could cripple Mexico’s economy and balloon the government’s budget.

“They’re talking about deporting 11 to 13 million undocumented migrants now in the United States; it seems like an impossible task. But, if only one to two million people get deported, it would still be a huge strike on the Mexican economy,” López said in a recent interview.

He explained: “It’s going to be a blow just in terms of the number of people sent here, but what about all those countries that refuse to take in their own people? They will likely end up in Mexico; you have to care for them as well.”

López and other experts contend that the flood of migrants into Mexico will force the government to redirect substantial resources to support deported individuals—necessitating investments in food, housing, and transportation.

On the 2024 campaign trail, both President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance repeatedly argued that the Biden government’s mass immigration policies were a core driver in the increasing cost of housing and food in the U.S. In addition to fueling rising prices, Trump and Vance noted the unchecked flow of illegal immigrants into the country under Joe Biden is also suppressing the wages of native-born American workers.

Economists are also cautioning that mass deportations could reduce the flow of remittances from Mexican immigrants residing in the U.S. The National Bank of Mexico reports that $63.3 billion in remittances were received from the U.S. in 2023 alone.

Tren de Argua Set to Cover Half of U.S. by February.

Experts are increasingly concerned about Tren de Aragua spreading to over half of the U.S. states in early 2025. The Venezuelan gang has already established a presence in at least 18 states, from the hinterlands of Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming to major cities like New York and Chicago.

John Fabbricatore, former director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for Colorado and Wyoming, warns the gang has the potential to expand to more than 25 states by February.

Tren de Aragua, or TdA, originated in a Venezuelan prison and has entered the U.S. due to the southern border crisis. Certain tattoos, including a train, a crown, a clock, and an AK-47, identify members. Authorities accuse the gang of being involved in a surge of violent crimes, including murders, assaults on police, and sex trafficking.

In North Dakota, law enforcement recently detained three suspected TdA members involved in an ATM theft operation. One of the individuals, Henry Theis, was found with nearly $25,000 in cash and confessed to collaborating with others to hack ATMs. “You think, North Dakota—that’s going pretty far. But to them, there’s ATM machines there. There’s jewelry stores there. There are things to rob. There’s rich people there that they can hit their homes,” explained Fabbricatore, saying the Venezuelans “look at the United States as just one big money pit for them.”

In Aurora, Colorado, TdA allegedly commandeered apartment complexes, using one for torture. In New York, the gang has reportedly recruited young migrants from shelters into what police have dubbed the ‘Little Devils of 42nd Street.’

Concerns about the gang’s operations have even emerged in Utah, where they are reportedly linked to criminal activities like prostitution and shootings.

DATA: 60% Oppose Increase to H-1B Visas.

A majority of Americans are opposed to increasing the number of H-1B visas granted per year. These visas allow immigrants to undercut American wages and are used extensively in the tech sector. According to a Rasmussen Reports survey, 60 percent of Americans feel the nation already possesses enough skilled workers for white-collar roles.

The poll’s findings cast doubt on proposals that Congress should increase the number of H-1B visas being issued. Notably, only 26 percent support increasing the present influx of foreign workers.

Rasmussen’s survey shows broad opposition to H-1B visas, with 72 percent of Republicans sure that the country has sufficient talent available at home, along with 63 percent of swing voters—and even 47 percent of Democrats.

The debate over the H-1B visa policy has intensified after President-elect Donald J. Trump appeared to back his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-chiefs, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, in supporting H-1B visas to attract foreign “talent” to the U.S.

Trump had previously argued that H-1B visas are “unfair” to American workers, saying in 2016, “I know the H-1B very well. And it’s something that I frankly use, and I shouldn’t be allowed to use it. We shouldn’t have it.”

Musk, meanwhile, has become the leading advocate of H-1B visas. Reports show that his automotive company, Tesla, laid off thousands of American workers and replaced them with H-1B migrants. As many as 15,000 U.S. workers were laid off in April of 2024, with H-1B migrants used to fill many positions.

Under the outgoing Biden-Harris regime, the post-COVID job “recovery” was comprised almost entirely of migrant workers.

Trump Posts Pro-H1B Piece from Far Left Editorial Board. The Responses Are Worth Reading.

President-elect Donald J. Trump is receiving push back from his America First base on Truth Social, after sharing an article by the far-left Editorial Board of the Boston Globe newspaper, saying he “got it spot on when he embraced the kind of visa program used to bring highly skilled technology workers to this country”—i.e., H-1B migrants.

The Boston Globe board is packed with NeverTrumpers, far-leftists, globalists, and anti-Trump hoax peddlers.

“I lost my job to Indian Outsourcing by Verizon,” wrote one user, adding: “Tens of Millions of others have lost their jobs in a similar fashion. You are telling my Daughter that her college degree means nothing anymore because she now has to compete against 7 Billion people across the entire PLANET for a job,” he added, warning of a “bloodbath” in the midterms if the President-elect does not make a course correction, followed by another impeachment.

Another concurred, “I’m a software engineering manager at a FAANG company. There is no skill shortage whatsoever; we have an oversaturation of qualified American computer science graduates already. H1B is big tech’s way of stifling American salaries with less qualified foreign workers to help their bottom line.”

“H1B foreign tech workers have destroyed and undermined the American tech workers,” argued a third. “Over my 45 years in IT, I have seen thousands of good Americans [lose] their jobs and be forced to train their foreign imported replacements,” he continued, saying it is “a lie that there are not enough IT tech talent in America,” and, “The truth is these visas are used to control and suppress American workers and increase the profits of all companies that exploit them.”

‘YOU NEED TO HEAR US.’

Many objectors appealed to appeal to President-elect Trump’s better nature, posting replies such as, “President Trump, I voted for you three times. My family and I prayed for your safety. We supported you because you fought for us, the regular people. My humble opinion, sir, you need to hear us instead of people who benefit from cheaper foreign labor. Put Americans first, sir, just like you promised in the past.”

“[R]espectfully Sir, read all these comments,” pleaded another. “I have scrolled and scrolled and I have not read one American that supports this idea. We want #AmericaFirst #AmericansFirst,” they added.

Many highlighted President-elect Trump’s past opposition to the H-1B visa, saying, “You got it right the first time,” and sharing screenshots of his previous statements on the issue.

BOSTON GLOBE BOARD.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, noted that the Boston Globe‘s editorial board, which is pushing Trump to go with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on the H-1B debate, is “one of the most far left, America-hating institutions in the country.”

“They endorsed Kamala, now they’re endorsing the H1-Bs,” he stressed.

The board is led by James Dao, who has peddled a number of hoaxes against Trump, including but not limited to the Russia hoax. He is supported by Marjorie Pritchard, a COVID and impeachment hoax peddler, as well as MSNBC contributor Kimberly Atkins Stohr.

The board features another dozen or so opinion writers, all but one of them being out-and-out leftists.

Councilwoman’s Fiancé Accused of Being Chinese Spy.

A city council member in Arcadia, California, is under scrutiny after her fiancé was accused of attempting to influence politics in favor of China’s ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in federal court documents. Eileen Wang, who joined the Arcadia City Council in Los Angeles County in 2022, is engaged to Mike Sun, allegedly linked to activities aimed at influencing U.S. policies to align with Beijing’s interests.

Sun, identified in court as Sun Yaoning, reportedly collaborated with Chen Jun, a Chinese agent recently sentenced for bribery, to support CCP policy aims. Federal prosecutors claim that Sun, a former Chinese military serviceman, managed Wang’s election campaign. He described this achievement as a victory against forces he viewed as hostile to U.S.-China relations.

Wang and Sun are noted as collaborators in business enterprises and various pro-CCP organizations. Their ventures include the American Southwest Chamber of Commerce, a nonprofit founded by Wang in 2018, intended to enhance connections between people in the American Southwest and China.

Charged with illegal agent activities, Sun was taken into custody by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on December 19. Although Wang was not named directly in the federal complaint, she is recognized as “Individual 1” with her details paralleling court documents’ descriptions. The court records link her residence to Sun’s last registered address.

Their partnership includes co-managing a mainly Chinese-language media outlet, U.S. News Center, which has prominently featured Wang in her roles before and after her election win. Campaign records show Wang has reimbursed Sun for expenses incurred during her political activities.

Despite the allegations, Arcadia City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto stated Sun had no role in local government operations. Wang has engaged with the FBI and has expressed her intention to cooperate fully with the investigation. Wang has neither been arrested nor charged with any crime.

REVEALED: Tesla Laid Off THOUSANDS of U.S. Workers, Replaced Them With H-1B Migrants.

Reports from current and former employees, alongside U.S. Department of Labor data, reveal that Elon Musk’s Tesla has significantly augmented its H-1B visa requests to fill positions previously held by around 15,000 U.S. workers who were let go in April 2024. The layoffs were widespread across Tesla’s departments but were notably concentrated in Texas and California.

The H-1B visa program currently allows U.S. companies to hire foreigners for three years, which can be extended once, contingent upon continuous employment with the sponsoring employer. Criticism has arisen due to potential employer control over foreign workers, sometimes equated with modern indentured servitude.

During its aggressive layoff period, Tesla also applied for over 2,000 H-1B visas, accounting for more than three percent of America’s national quota. Many laid-off employees were senior engineers with substantial pay, reportedly replaced by junior foreign engineers receiving lower wages. This practice has prompted concerns about the displacement of American workers and companies leveraging the H-1B program to reduce labor costs.

Musk has ardently defended the expansion of the H-1B program, asserting a shortage of skilled U.S. workers essential for companies like Tesla. This viewpoint, however, has attracted criticism from America-First conservatives who argue the H-1B program jeopardizes American job security.

Proponents like Musk and political figure Vivek Ramaswamy advocate that H-1B visas are crucial for filling vital knowledge gaps within specific industries in the American workforce. A data analysis by The National Pulse disproved such claims.

WATCH: Bannon, Spicer, Ungar-Sargon, & Bergquam Call for Migration Moratorium to Protect U.S. Workers

On Tuesday, December 31, 2024, Stephen K. Bannon hosted former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on WarRoom to discuss immigration, particularly the controversial H-1B visa program. The pair emphasized how the program undermines American workers by prioritizing cheap foreign labor over domestic job growth. Spicer shared insights from a recent poll he conducted on social media, revealing strong opposition to the H-1B visa program. Both men agreed that Americans should be trained and supported for these roles instead of the nation relying on imported, migrant workers.

Bannon expanded on his critique of the immigration system, calling for a complete moratorium until reforms can be made. He accused elites of using these programs to suppress wages and exploit workers while benefiting from cheaper labor at the expense of American citizens, particularly African Americans and Hispanics.

He stressed that the erosion of citizenship and labor rights must stop, pointing out that figures like Elon Musk are promoting policies that harm American sovereignty. For Bannon, it’s about defending the middle and working class, regardless of race, from an elite agenda that undermines their rights.

The episode also featured Batya Ungar-Sargon, who discussed how the real divide in America is not racial but economic, with the working class of all races struggling against a system rigged by elites. Ungar-Sargon’s book Bad News critiques how the media and elites have ignored the working class, framing the narrative as a class struggle rather than a racial one.

Ben Bergquam, who reported live from San Diego, echoed Bannon’s call for a moratorium on immigration.

Bergquam criticized the way political figures and NGOs are facilitating illegal immigration and shared firsthand accounts of the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border. Both he and Bannon painted a bleak picture of the country’s immigration crisis, urging immediate action to restore national sovereignty.

Rep. Victoria Spartz also joined the show, discussing her frustration with the lack of action from Republican leadership, especially Speaker Mike Johnson. Spartz emphasized the need for a commitment to the MAGA agenda, particularly regarding fiscal responsibility and healthcare reform.

WarRoom airs Monday through Saturday on Real America’s Voice and other carriers. Its live broadcasts are from 10 AM to 12 PM Eastern, and replays are from 5-6 PM Eastern and 6-7 PM on Frank Speech.

Saudi Migrant’s Deadly Christmas Market Attack Blamed on ‘Mental Illness.’

Far-left German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser claimed on Monday that the Saudi migrant suspected of carrying out a deadly car-ramming attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, may have been “psychologically disturbed and… driven by confused conspiracy theories.”

The Social Democrat politician insisted, “Such attackers do not fit any threat profile”—although mass casualty vehicular attacks in Continental Europe, such as those in Magdeburg, Berlin, Stockholm, and Nice, are almost exclusively carried out by migrants from Muslim-majority countries. Instead, she stressed that the suspect, Dr. Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, showed “striking signs of a pathological psyche.”

Speaking to reporters, Faeser stated that investigators have not yet determined a motive for the attack. Her statements came after a session with a parliamentary committee investigating the December 20 attack, which resulted in five deaths and over 200 injuries.

Faeser also referenced copious social media activity on the part of Abdulmohsen, noting that “tens of thousands of tweets” over the years still need to be analyzed.

BACKGROUND.

The German authorities are facing criticism for allowing the Saudi to carry out the attack, as the authorities in his home country had sent them at least four warnings about his “very extreme views” as recently as last year.

He arrived in Germany in 2005 and was granted asylum in 2016, despite being fined for making threats in 2013, further threatening attacks that would gain “international attention” in 2014, and threatening to obtain a firearm and shoot judges in 2015.

There is some evidence Abdulmohsen held “anti-Islamic views,” with Faesar insisting he is “Islamophobic” and the German federal police attempting to link him to the “extreme right.” However, it is relatively commonplace for migrants from countries like Saudi Arabia to fake apostasy, homosexuality, and other beliefs and lifestyles prohibited under Islamic law to bolster their claims they would face persecution if they were deported.

Bannon Dominates H-1B Visa Poll on Musk’s Own Platform.

WarRoom host Stephen K. Bannon is dominating the debate on H-1B visas on X (formerly Twitter), with a poll revealing users support his opposition to the visa program over the platform’s owner, Elon Musk. The tech billionaire had said the United States should double the number of foreign workers. However, a poll initiated by former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, with close to 100,000 votes, saw Bannon capturing a whopping majority of 67.4 percent of voters.

Bannon and Musk have been divided on the issue of H-1B visas. Musk has advocated for more supposedly skilled immigrants to be allowed into the United States, while critics of the program, including Bannon, argue that the program favors foreigners at the expense of American workers.

Over the weekend, Bannon launched an attack on the H-1B program, saying, “Let me repeat: the H-1B visa program is a total and complete scam, concocted by Wall Street’s lords of easy money and Silicon Valley oligarchs to boost profits.”

BIG TECH.

Reports reveal that Musk’s automotive company, Tesla, has filed over 3,200 H-1B visa applications this year. H-1B workers can work for much lower wages than Americans, maximizing corporate profits.

However, Tesla is just one of several large American companies taking advantage of the H-1B system, which is dominated by Big Tech firms including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and others. Just 30 companies made up over 25 percent of all the H-1B petitions approved in 2019 alone.

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) FY 2023 report to Congress states that 386,318 H-1B visas were filed last year. A third were new, which indicates that the supposed cap of 85,000 was exceeded that year.

The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam has outlined why H-1B visas should be ended, as the visa program purports to pay large wages to workers but often pays a legal minimum that is actually well below rates expected by Americans.

Here’s What Trump Has Previously Said of H1-B Visas.

President-elect Donald J. Trump has heavily criticized the H1-B foreign worker visa program in the past, including comments in 2016 slamming the mass immigration pipeline as being implicitly “unfair” to native-born American workers. These comments stand in stark contrast to the calls by tech billionaire Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who are defending H1-Bs and, in Musk’s case, even calling for the program’s expansion.

“First of all, I think and I know the H-1B very well. And it’s something that I frankly use and I shouldn’t be allowed to use it. We shouldn’t have it,” the President-elect said during a 2016 primary debate, pushing back on Senator Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) advocacy for the H1-B program. “Second of all, I think it’s very important to say, well, I’m a businessman and I have to do what I have to do.”

Trump added that the visas harm American workers, calling them “very bad” and “unfair.”

Analysis by The National Pulse has revealed that despite the 85,000 worker cap, in fiscal year 2023, 386,318 new and ongoing H1-B visa holders were approved under the auspices of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). This number far exceeds the statutory cap as some academic and nonprofit institutions engaged in research supposedly critical to the national interest are exempt from the legal employment limits.

Additionally, USCIS data indicates only 22 percent of H1-Bs hold a master’s degree, while just eight percent hold a PhD—suggesting claims the program only applies to “highly skilled” labor is a misnomer at best.

Despite Trump’s earlier criticism of the foreign worker program, the New York Post claims the President-elect is now backing H1-Bs. The newspaper wrote that Trump reportedly told them that he’s “always been in favor of the visas.”
