Joe Biden’s DHS released more than 500,000 migrants into the U.S. through the parole pipeline. The parole program was intended to be used in unique circumstances, but presidents have abused it for years. The figure suggests that nearly 170,000 migrants from Latin America and the Caribbean, more than 163,000 Ukrainians, 133,000 migrants via Biden’s migrant mobile app, and 77,000 Afghan nationals have been released through the parole pipeline in less than two years.

Texas Gov. Abbott ordered installing a 1,000-foot chain of orange buoys at a busy area for illegal crossings. According to The Washington Post, the Biden Administration is threatening to sue the state, saying the barriers “violate federal law, raise humanitarian concerns, present serious risks to public safety and the environment, and may interfere with the federal government’s ability to carry out its official duties.” The buoys are part of Operation Lone Star.

Large companies, including Netflix, Disney, and Warner Bros, have started cutting their diversity officers. In the last year, thousands of diversity officers have been laid off, and more are expected since the Supreme Court’s decision on affirmative action. The Wall Street Journal reported said the field has lost demand after experiencing a significant spike following the murder of George Floyd.
The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has delayed production at its factory in Arizona due to a shortage of skilled labor. It’s now expected to start construction in 2025. The company said it wasn’t just high-skilled workers but also plumbers, electricians, and technical workers. There are currently over one million job openings in construction and manufacturing. The problem with labor is multi-layered: more Americans are attending college instead of trade school, the immigration system isn’t skill-based, and labor force participation has declined from 67 percent in 2000 to 61.5 percent in 2023. Millions of able-bodied Americans between the ages of 18-64 aren’t looking for work. (BBC)

The Wall Street Journal had a shockingly honest report on global migration from the third world to developed countries. Countries including the U.K., Australia, and the United States saw rents and home prices rise because of mass immigration. “A recent Goldman Sachs report pointed to immigration as a key reason why house prices in major economies have shown signs of leveling out at higher prices than expected following declines sparked by interest-rate hikes.”
