[Breitbart] President Joe Biden’s border deputies spiked the December inflow of job-seeking migrants to roughly 200,000, even as his economy forced down wages and pushed up inflation for more than 100 million working Americans.
Official data suggests that Biden’s deputies are flooding the labor market with one foreign worker for every young American who joins the economy.
This 100 percent inflation of the nation’s labor supply cripples Americans’ ability to negotiate decent wages in their national labor market, and also supercharges the inflation of housing prices.
The loss of bargaining power shifts more than $50 billion every month from ordinary Americans to investors and CEOs. That wealth transfer is rarely admitted by Democrats and Republicans, or by establishment media outlets, most of whom prefer to shout about border chaos.
Federal data for December showed that border chief Alejandro Mayorkas allowed 120,562 single adults into the United States in December. In contrast, President Donald Trump’s deputies allowed just 5,592 single adults through the border in December 2020, or one for every 21 single adult migrants officially admitted by Mayorkas in December 2022.
Mayorkas has the legal power to exclude all migrants under the Title 42 rule — but only excluded just one-in-five arrivals, or 40,000. That is a steep drop-off from October, when he excluded 80,000 migrants in the weeks before the November election. Congress’ 212(f) law also gives the president the also legal power to exclude all migrants, but it is rarely used.
Mayorkas’ distracted border agents also watched at least 70,000 extra “gotaways” slip through the border. Mayorkas has repeatedly vowed that gotaways can stay and work in the United States so long as they do not commit criminal felonies.
The huge inflow of labor also reduces the marketplace pressure on employers to invest in high-tech, productivity-boosting machinery. That inflow of workers — and consumers — also pushes the U.S. economy towards a low-tech services and retail economy instead of a high-tech manufacturing and export economy.
The inflow also also shifts wealth from young to old, for example, by driving up young Americans’ rents and housing costs.
But the inflow of foreign workers into Americans’ workplaces is much higher that 200,000 illegals per month.
For example, the data also shows that Mayorkas admitted “81,450 “family units” of adults and children. Most of the adults will find jobs to help pay off their smuggling debts. He also admitted 12,294 “unaccompanied” youths, most of whom will also seek work.
Mayorkas, a Cuban-born, pro-migration zealot, is also smuggling many more migrants through the border via the “parole” pathways operated by Mexico-based, progressive-funded non-profits. That inflow is not included in the monthly reports.
The monthly number also exclude the routine inflow of roughly 80,000 foreign temporary workers. This group includes H-2A farmworkers, H-2B blue-collar workers, and the H-1B, OPT, L-1, E-2, and TN white-collar workers.
The monthly number also excludes the inflow of roughly 1 million legal immigrants allowed by Congress. That legal inflow includes about 650,000 work-ready adults, or about 50,000 per month.
All told, Mayorkas is overseeing the inflow of roughly 200,000 single adults, perhaps 30,000 additional job-seeking parole adult migrants, plus roughly 80,000 legal temporary workers, plus about 60,000 work-ready legal immigrants.
This flood of roughly 370,000 foreign workers is likely greater than 350,000 young Americans who turn 18 every month of the year.
Since January 2021, Biden has welcomed at 2.5 million people across the southern border, and has allowed at least 1 million gotaways. That two-plus period of illegal inflow delivered roughly 3.5 million migrants — or roughly the number of Americans born in 2022.
In recent months, Mayorkas has sketched out his plan to convert the U.S. government’s complex, chaotic and obscure migration system into an explicit labor-delivery system for employers and investors.
[KhaamaPress] Following the terror attack in the heart of Kabul in December, which housed mostly Chines nationals, China is allegedly accused of providing modern military equipment to the Taliban ...Arabic for students... according to sources.
The Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... Khorasan Province (ISKP) Lions of Islam were behind the brutal terror attack, resulting in the injury of several Chinese citizens. China’s weaponry support to the de facto regime in Kabul has reportedly begun following the terror incident and the rising instability which threatens the country’s interests and the implementation of the "Road and Belt Initiative" (RBI) in Afghanistan.
Furthermore, Chinese sources have expressed concerns about the volatile security situation and the rising militancy in Afghanistan which could turn the country into the hub of Lions of Islam in the region.
"In response to the growing insecurity and militancy, China has sought to provide the de facto authorities of Afghanistan to fight all forms of terrorism and extremism," Zafar Iqbal Yousafzai, author of The Troubled Triangle: US-Pakistain Relations under the Taliban’s Shadow in The Jamestown Foundation said.
After the withdrawal of the US and international forces in August 2021, China deepened its engagement with the Taliban-run government for several reasons. China was among the few counties such as Iran, Pakistain, and Russia asking the international community to help the Taliban stabilize the country. With no major international player on the ground, the opportunity seemed quite good for China to support the Taliban and achieve their national interests in war-torn Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, ...back at the buffalo wallow, Standing Buffalo drew a bead on his old enemy and squeezed the trigger... the US presence in Afghanistan was a strategic threat to China. Now with the US gone, closing ties with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is a new geopolitical development for China, reported Jamestown Foundation.
China will give its utmost efforts to succeed in achieving its interests in Afghanistan through mega economic and development projects, under the umbrella of its well-known Road and Built Initiative.

[AlAhram] Safwan Thabet, the chairman of the country’s biggest dairy and juice producer Juhayna Food Industries, and his son Seif El-Din, who were detained over terror charges, were released, the businessman’s daughter wrote on social media on Saturday.
Thabet has been kept in pretrial detention since December 2020 for allegedly joining a terrorist group in the case 865/2020. Seif El-Din, deputy chairman of Juhayna, was then arrested in the same case in February 2021.
The business tycoon and his son faced charges of joining and financing a terrorist group to help it change the regime by force. They were also accused of aiding and abetting assaults against the army and police personnel and their institutions and of harming the economy.
"God has accepted our prayers, my father Safwan Thabet and my brother Seif El-Din Thabet are with us," Mariam Thabet wrote.
Safwan Thabet is an engineer who also served as the chairman of the Chamber of Food Industries at Federation of Egyptian Industries.
The case 865/2020 also includes Egyptian business mogul Sayed Ragab El-Sewerky, the owner of El-Tawheed & El-Nour department stores. El-Sewerky was also arrested in December 2020 and is still behind bars.
No official statement on the freeing of Thabet and his son has been released at the time of writing.
Authorities arrested Safwan Thabet in December 2020, and he remained in detention pending an investigation into accusations that he helped fund a terrorist group — a reference to the Moslem Brüderbund, which Egypt banned as a terrorist organization.
The freeing of the two men was the latest in a series of releases of pro-democracy activist muppets and government critics in recent months.
Over the past year, Egypt released or pardoned dozens of detainees as the country’s human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... record came under international scrutiny when it hosted the UN climate change summit in November. The government also embarked on a dialogue with its critics.
The Egyptian government has been relentless in its silencing of dissenters and clamped down on independent organizations with arrests, detentions, prison sentences, and other restrictions.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] Weapon shipment has arrived board a military plane designated for the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militia in Hadhramaut province.
An official source confirmed that an Emirati military plane arrived yesterday, Friday, at al-Rayyan airport in Mukalla city, carrying weapons and a number of officers, including foreigners.
The source indicated that the plane unloaded its shipment of weapons and military equipment dispatched for the STC militia to fight its battle against the hard boyz of the "First Military Region" affiliated with Islah Party in the districts of Hadhramaut.
This comes after the "Hadhramaut Tribes Alliance" loyal to Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... announced that ten thousand rustics were recruited to confront the STC militia.
In early January, the UAE sent a military cargo plane carrying a large amount of weapons to the city of Mukalla, while the STC sent about three militia brigades to the city during the past two months from Dhalea, Aden, restive Lahj ... a Yemeni governate located in the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It is the stomping grounds on the southern secessionist al-Harak movement and Abyan ...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirate after seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues... provinces.
#Canada is set to repatriate 23 #ISIS-linked citizens, among them British-Canadian Jack Letts, also known as 'Jihadi John'. It would be Canada's first repatriation of male ISIS prisoners. https://t.co/soHXxbhmNj
According to a report by Sky News, Canada will repatriate Jack Letts, also known as ‘Jihadi John’, as part of its pledge to take back 23 ISIS-linked citizens from camps and prisons in North and East Syria.
No doubt it will be exciting for all involved.
Letts joined the jihadist outfit in 2014 and was arrested by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in 2017. He has been held in northeast Syria ever since. Though born as a dual British-Canadian citizen, he was stripped of his British citizenship by the UK Home Office in 2019.
He previously expressed regret over his actions and pledged to aid de-radicalization programs if released.
A Canadian federal court ruled that Letts and three other men being held in northeast Syria must be repatriated by the government. Family members of the men had brought the case before the court, arguing that the Canadian government was violating the men’s constitutional rights.
The court said the men should be repatriated “as soon as reasonably possible”.
Last week, the Canadian government had informed the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) that it was ready to repatriate six Canadian women and 13 of their children.
Canada has repatriated only seven of their nationals since 2019. The last repatriation took place in October 2022. Until now, Canada has only repatriated women and children.
[AlAhram] Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi has given instructions to establish large mosques nationwide, belonging to the Ministry of Religious Endowments, to spread true religion, Presidential Spokesman Bassam Rady said in a statement on Saturday.
El-Sisi gave instructions to develop an integrated plan to establish the new mosques, noting that these mosques should become beacons for disseminating the true teachings of religion and that they should encompass activities related to both Dawah and learning and recitation of the Koran.
He highlighted the need to select good locations for the new mosques and allocate appropriate spaces for them.
The president also issued instructions to increase the efficiency of the main mosques in all governorates.
He made the remarks in a meeting to review the activities of the endowments ministry with Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, Minister of Religious Endowments Mohammed Mokhtar Gomaa and Minister of Social Solidarity Nevine El-Qabbaj.
El-Sisi emphasised the importance of enhancing training programmes for Islamic preachers. These programs aim to help preachers become more personable, more enlightened, and more culturally aware. They also help them to become more oriented — culturally and intellectually — towards the modern world so as to present the correct teachings of religion in ways that are not at odds with reality.
In addition, the president also gave instructions to increase the cash rewards for the international Holy Koran competition that the Ministry of Religious Endowments will organise in February to around EGP 2 million.
During the meeting, Gomaa briefed the president on the ministry’s training courses for preachers and religious leaders in African countries to promote the culture of dialogue, belief in diversity, and acceptance of others within the framework of spreading true religion.
Furthermore, the meeting discussed the ministry’s religious and social plans for the holy month of Ramadan.
The ministry’s contribution to community service — which is carried out in coordination with the ministries of social solidarity, supply and internal trade, as well as with local government authorities nationwide — was also on the agenda of the meeting.
El-Sisi has called for reforming the religious discourse on more than one occasion in the face of bully boy thought and waves of terrorism.
The president has urged religious institutions and scholars to intensify their efforts to spread the values of coexistence, intellectual diversity, acceptance of others and tolerant Islamic instructions.
In October, El-Sisi said that religious practices in the region need to be rethought in light of the changes and developments in societies brought about by modernity.

China will provide them with all the knockoff Nick products they need. Food will be pricey. Maybe they can just order high volume DoorDash from Tajikistan.
