Sen. Hawley Shames Mayorkas for Importing Teenage ‘Slavery’

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-MO, shamed President Joe Biden’s border chief by exposing his systematic exploitation of teenage workers in debt to labor traffickers across the country.

Hawley, during a Senate Hearing, asked Mayorkas: “Why have you allowed 345,000 children and teenagers to be smuggled over this border? Then they are sent to modern-day slavery traders?”

You are giving them these children. They are modern day slave traders. What’s going on? “Why are you doing that?” Hawley asked.

Mayorkas dodged your question, saying that “there are some factual errors in your question.” He then claimed that his agency will police more U.S. work sites to prevent the exploitation and smuggling of migrants who owe high interest debts to cartel-backed smugglers.

I showed President Trump the numbers

When I was with Donald Trump this past week, I told him that we’re making an impact with key Latino voters. But Kamala and the Democrats are outraising us. And unless we raise another $59,278.10 in the next 48 hours, we may not be able to keep the momentum going. Don’t let that happen!

It is a lot of false information. If I may state what I have been trying to say: We’ve made a significant policy decision to concentrate our enforcement efforts and criminal investigations on employers who exploit vulnerable individuals, including underage workers.

Hawley’s public shaming Mayorkas – and his Democrat ally – is a rare attempt by the GOP-dominated donor class to win the support of the non-ideological, swing voters that decide elections.

Swing voters are ambivalent about the decision of President Joe Biden to increase the inflows of foreign workers and consumers. These voters may change their minds if GOP politicians highlight the economic and human costs of Biden’s pro-migration policies.

The administration has welcomed more than 4 million illegal and legal migrants as well as hundreds of thousands child migrants.

These “unaccompanied children” — also known as teenage migrants — are forced to pay high-interest debts for smuggling by working at low-wage jobs, sometimes in difficult conditions.

They are attractive to employers in the United States who don’t want to hire six million Americans who were unable to find work because of age, criminal records or drug use, laziness, weight, disability, or an unwillingness to accept a job at a lower wage.

Hawley’s shame of Mayorkas helps put Democrats on defense, just like Democrats used media-hyped “child separation” claims to put Donald Trump on defensive in 2017.

New York Times articles, such as one on April 17, which stated:

Veteran government employees and contractors repeatedly told the Health and Human Services Department – including in reports sent to Secretary Xavier Becerra – that children were at risk. The Labor Department issued news releases highlighting the increase in child labour. Senior White House staff were shown evidence of child exploitation. For example, clusters of migrants found using industrial equipment or caustic chemical.

Marvin Che, a [migrant] from China, told us that he arrived in the United States at 16 years old and worked 12-hour shifts overnight with other migrants children, packing Hefty party cups, as well as other products, for the Pactiv Evergreen manufacturer. Marvin Che said, “We came by ourselves so we had to work hard.”

A boy in Florida who was working on construction told reporters that he felt embarrassed about his lack of reading skills. In 2021, he was also released — at the age of 12 — by a man that had sponsored at least 5 children. He was immediately put to works. A 13-year old released to a man whom he’d never met last year said that he wanted to enroll in middle-school and learn English. Antonio told the crowd that “people don’t realize” how many kids are living in poverty.

The progressive wing of the Democratic Party is in favor of the child migration because it allows illegal migrants to bring their families into the United States. The Democratic Party gains more customers as a result of this population shift, which gradually replaces the outspoken American citizens.

Extraction Migration

The federal government has operated an unpopular economic Extraction Migration policy for many years. This policy is similar to colonialism, in that it takes large amounts of human resource from countries that are in need, reduces trade and uses imported workers, consumers, and renters to grow Wall Street.

The inflow of migrants has successfully pushed down American wages, and also increased rents and house prices. In addition, the inflow has forced many native-born Americans to leave their careers in various business sectors. It also contributed to a rise in death rates among poor Americans.

This lethal policy also drains wealth and jobs from the heartland by flooding coastal investors with low-wage workers and high-occupancy tenants, as well as government-subsidized consumers.

The inflow of immigrants also decreases the political power of native-born Americans because it allows the elites to ignore the needs and concerns of the average American.

Mayorkas has said in many speeches that he is creating a system of mass migration to provide workers to wealthy investors and employers, and to give “equity to poor foreigners”. Mayorkas says that the nation’s border law is subordinated to an elite opinion of “the values our country”.

Swing voters are not fond of migration, and in particular labor migration. According to a poll conducted by National Public Radio, a left-of center organization in August 2022, 57 percent of Americans believe Biden allows migrant workers from the southern border into the United States. A 54 percent majority of Americans said Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to a poll commissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR) in August 2022.
