8-10 Somali Teens Armed With Hammers Attack Bystanders at East Bank Rail Station in MN ... chasing people,” with “several injuries reported,” in Minneapolis

In recent years tens of thousands of Somali illegals have been dumped in Minneapolis. Somalis are African Sunni Moslems. See the Mogadishu civil war and the ongoing violence for a fuller appreciation. We're doubly enriched by this particular diversity, Ilhan Omar was elected to represent Minneapolis in Congress in 2018. Her family fled Mogadishu and was granted asylum in 1995.

Betrayal at the highest levels.

: **********************

: NEIL MUNRO28 May 2019

: The Department of Homeland Security has put hundreds of
: thousands of Central American migrants on a fast-track to
: jobs and a slow-track to deportation.

: The revelation was hidden in a brief statement by acting DHS

: secretary Kevin McAleenan, who told the Senate on May 23
: hearing that 100 percent of migrants carrying children are
: released, some without asking for asylum, and are allowed
: to get work permits as soon as 30 days.

: The DHS is releasing the migrants on the fast-track process
: “because they do not have the space” to detain migrants
: long enough to start the deportation process, said Andrew
: Arthur, a former immigration judge who works at the Center
: for Immigration Studies, a Washington, DC-based research.
: Congress will not fund shelters to hold more than 2,500
: migrants with children, so it is allowing the border
: agencies to be overwhelmed by the rush of migrants.

: The slow-track deportation process allows migrants to delay
: filing their likely asylum request — and so it delays the
: eventual rejection of the asylum claim, which is needed
: prior to deportation. “Rather than potential starting their
: asylum process while in custody [at the border], they are
: not going to take pleadings until they are in [subsequent]
: removal proceedings,” said Arthur. In contrast, the regular
: process allows migrants to be deported in roughly 40 days
: if border officials can quickly record and process asylum
: claims, starting with a “Credible Fear” interview.

: Meanwhile, the fast-track job process allows migrants to get
: work permits as quickly as 30 days after crossing the
: border.

: The conventional process bars migrants who ask for asylum from
: applying for work permits for 150 days. The conventional
: process also allows government officials another 30 days to
: approve the request, so boosting the conventional
: work-permit process up to 180 days. The conventional
: 180-day process takes six months to get a work permit — but
: DHS has been giving work-permits to the migrants in just
: one to three months.

: The fast-track/slow-track process means that employers quickly
: get an extra supply of tough, compliant, low-wage workers
: just as labor shortages are forcing companies to boost pay
: for Americans. The extra labor supply also reduces
: employers’ incentive to hire the population 12 million
: unemployed or underemployed Americans, some of whom are
: sidelined by disability, underinvestment in rural areas, or
: drugs.

: McAleenan exposed the easy migration rules when he answered
: questions from Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman: PORTMAN:
: So, what percent of those families who come up to the
: border and, again, approach your officer, ask for asylum,
: are being released into the community within days?

: MCALEENAN: 100 percent.

: PORTMAN: 100 percent?

: MCALEENAN: Yeah, and they’re not necessarily asking for
: asylum. They – they don’t – they don’t have to. They can go
: into an immigration proceeding and not have to present that
: case for potentially years.

: …

: PORTMAN: And during that time period, can those individuals
: work?

: MCALEENAN: Yes, by and large, although we’re–we’re looking
: at–at tightening the–the rules so that there is not an
: opportunity to take advantage of the system.

: PORTMAN: So, they have a work permit. My understanding is they
: don’t get the work permit immediately but after a certain
: period of time. Is it six weeks?

: MCALEENAN: It’s in … the 30 to 90 days range, that’s correct.

: McAleenan suggested that the border agencies will try to delay
: the award of work permits to migrants. That task, however,
: requires getting more migrants back into the regular
: bureaucratic process.

: The regular process quickly assigns migrants in the
: deportation process. But most migrants counter by asking
: for asylum. In response, the ICE agents at short-term
: shelters near the border conduct a “Credible Fear”
: interview to gauge the migrants’ asylum claims. Almost 9
: out of 10 migrants pass the low-bar interview (under rules
: set by Congress) and are then given a “Notification to
: Appear” at a hearing before an immigration judge. Next,
: migrants cite a separate law which allows them to apply for
: a work permit if they have not had their hearing in 150
: days.

: But DHS officials are not processing the migrants via the
: conventional process. Instead, they are “paroling” the
: migrants with children into the United States even before
: they undergo a Credible Fear interview and get a NTA. Once
: released via parole, a different law allows migrants to
: quickly apply for a work permit. McAleenan did not say how
: many migrants apply for the work permits, or how long the
: work permits last.

: But agency data shows a huge volume of migrants getting work
: permits.

: From October 2015 to September 2016, for example, 270,000
: migrants got work permits via the (c)(8) process and
: another 78,000 migrants got paroled and got work permits
: via the “Paroled pursuant to INA 212(d)(5)” category.

: In the next fiscal year of 2017, the regular number spiked to
: 403,000 but the parole number dropped to 59,000 as Trump’s
: deputies curbed the parole number. In 2017, the regular
: number dipped to 345,000 and the parole number lurched down
: to 18,000.

: DHS officials have refused to tell Breitbart News how long the
: work permits last, are hiding the number of migrants
: getting new work or extended work permits. But McAleenen’s
: comments suggest that the parole number is rising fast in
: 2019.

: The overall award of work-permits is huge — and it is roughly
: equal to one extra migrant worker for every 10 Americans
: who joined the labor force in 2017 and 2018.

: The rush of migrants has spiked in 2019 because the cartels,
: the migrants, the border agencies and the voters know that
: Congress is refusing to block the catch-and-release
: loopholes which are delivering hundreds of thousands of
: cheap workers to their political allies and their donors.
: The migration may reach 800,000 in the 12 months up to
: October. That number includes at least 400,000 extra
: workers, and at least 200,000 children for placement in
: K-12 schools used the children of America’s blue-collar
: communities.

: Background Immigration Numbers

: This year’s inflow of up to one million illegal migrants from
: Central American is only a small slice of the immigration
: economy.

: Each year, roughly four million young Americans join the
: workforce after graduating from high school or university.

: But the federal government then imports about 1.1 million
: legal immigrants and refreshes a resident population of
: roughly 1.5 million white-collar visa workers — including
: roughly one million H-1B workers — and approximately
: 500,000 blue-collar visa workers.

: The government also prints out more than one million work
: permits for foreigners, tolerates about eight million
: illegal workers, and does not punish companies for
: employing the hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants who
: sneak across the border or overstay their legal visas each
: year.

: This policy of inflating the labor supply boosts economic
: growth for investors because it ensures that employers do
: not have to compete for American workers by offering higher
: wages and better working conditions.

: This policy of flooding the market with cheap foreign
: white-collar graduates and blue-collar labor shifts also
: enormous wealth from young employees towards older
: investors even as it also widens wealth gaps, reduces
: high-tech investment, increases state and local tax
: burdens, and hurts children’s schools and college
: educations. It also pushes Americans away from high-tech
: careers and sidelines millions of marginalized Americans,
: including many who are now struggling with fentanyl
: addictions. The labor policy also moves business investment
: and wealth from the heartland to the coastal cities,
: explodes rents and housing costs, shrivels real estate
: values in the Midwest and rewards investors for creating
: low tech, labor-intensive workplaces.
