This is an obvious and primitive psy op. I don’t know if it’s promoted by Democrats or Republicans but that doesn’t matter. Neither want to stop or even mildly limit mass migration. Knowing that voters are very unhappy with the insanely high migration numbers, these bastards pretend that they were about to solve the issue but evil forces prevented them.
How do I know it’s a psy op?
The insanely inflated claims are a dead giveaway. “Trump won’t be able to run on immigration if we reach this agreement in Congress.” This insinuates that the agreement would have immediately solved immigration to the point that Trump couldn’t run on the issue. That’s an absolute lie. The agreement proposes such small-potato modest measures that a hundred Trumps would have ample opportunities to run on the issue.
Not that Trump wants or is trying to run on immigration. For obvious reasons, that wouldn’t be possible.
I’m beginning to realize that nobody ever will do anything but increase migration. I don’t know why it is so but it’s clearly where we are.

Just a few weeks ago you were saying this was Biden blocking everything. Should be obvious now that this is what both parties want.
Trump was also in office and did nothing. Obama was tougher on illegal immigration. Let that sink in.

That’s completely true. Trump, Obama, Biden, McConnell – they all want an increase in migration and for Russia to win. I have no explanation for this other than a deeply interiorized self-destructive impulse.

“Who’s paying them?”
Don’t know about the US southern border, but in Europe there’s a bunch of NGOs (presumably funded by Soros / WEF types) who make a living transporting migrants to Europe (whereupon they lose all interest in them and they’re left to flounder and most end up on welfare and/or petty crime).
The mafia is also involved.
Traditionally up until the 1990s or so Mexican migration to the US was mostly through compadrazgo networks (one compadre doing a favor for another) with an organized crime presence (rateros who were likely to rob and abandon those unlucky enough to come into contact with them).
I’m assuming there’s a similar dynamic in the US.
It’s essentially a new slave trade (smugglers being paid to transport people) but rather than forced labor the human meat being trucked around is dumped into a hand to mouth precarious existence and kept alive by welfare.
It’s not remotely sustainable anymore than the housing bubble was and it will probably pop soon with horrible consequences for everyone except those responsible for keeping it up and running now…

Yeah, clearly the mafiosi and cartels and things are making bank on this, and the NGOs are justifying their livelihoods by continuing to do whatever it is they do.
But who’s paying the Democrats and Republicans? Like, the immigration thing: clearly unpopular with voters, on both sides of the aisle, but all the politicians are totally committed to open borders. It’s not because they’re such nice people. I have a hard time imagining how it benefits their cushy stock portfolios. It’s because someone’s paying them to do it. Who?

There’s a narrative that says “if you look at fertility rates in the world, mass movement of people from high fertility to low fertility countries is economically inevitable”. It matters a lot (to me) whether you do this legally (Canada?) or illegally (US!) but I’m not sure one can stop the overall phenomenon.
Until 2020 I spent my entire life in California since age 5 so this may bias my view. But even conservative anti-abortion commentators don’t dispute the overall trend.

I’m not sure what the word “economically” is doing in this sentence. Is the idea that our economy will collapse because we don’t have enough people? Is the quality of the people unimportant in this calculation? We have tens of millions of native-born men permanently out of the workforce. It doesn’t look like people shortage is a big problem here.

“Neither want to stop or even mildly limit mass migration.”
Well, yes, because those “muddled asses, yearning to be given free shit” are essential to a modern-day form of Triangle Trade.
Whereas in the Old Bad Days of Slavery As An Economic Service, the other two sides of the triangle were industrial and agricultural products, they have it worked out now so goods don’t have to transit borders.
Now the migrants do, and they enter into a consumer relationship with governments and mega-capital so their consumption uses funds from governments, quangos, and charities to consume physical resources (especially real estate, most especially rental real estate).
This provides the much needed activity for governments on the decline to cook the books, making this activity seem like economic times are improving, while also giving mega-capital what it wants through justifiable price rises beyond that of inflation.
So it’s a Triangle Trade of migrants to giro technicians to physical asset consumers, in which any labour the migrants produce is irrelevant because the primary capital drivers are orders of magnitude larger.
Call it the Biden to Blackrock trade, it has a certain appeal to it, although it’s been in place much longer than The Current Regime.
But that Triangle Trade is so significant to those Chamber of Commerce types that they’ll do nothing to stop it, even as it erodes their ability to do business as non-financial activities.
This is the late capitalist stage that Samir Amin, Fredric Jameson, and Adam Curtis have been warning about: eventually the only activity in such economies reduces to veiled forms of financialisation.
As for the migrants themselves, nobody seems to bother with thinking much about their negative effects in a “boom” economy.

Real estate, schools, medical services. Who will pay for this all? What will these children do after sitting in a classroom where they don’t understand a word? Even adult brains can’t deal with that. What do we expect from children?
This is a crime, pure and simple. It’s a terrible calamity inflicted on both the migrants and Americans.
