Behind Joe Biden’s Immigration Position

Based on Joe Biden’s statements and voting record in the last 10 years, his policy on immigration while can seem immigrant-friendly and “Open-Border” type can be summarized in three simple words: “Maintain Cheap Labor”. He seems to maintain a position that is conducive to the creation of a low-end immigrant labor class that serves the needs of frugal exploitive employers. We have to examine his positions both on skilled workers and unskilled workers to arrive at that conclusion.

H1-B visas are provided for skilled educated workers. Joe’s stated that H1-B visas should be provided only for jobs that American’s can’t do and has voted “No” on visas for skilled workers. The key here is if he believes in “can’t do” or “won’t do”. It would be hard to take any job and argue that Americans can’t do it and stay true to the “Yes We Can” promo. So, it’s more likely that he means jobs American’s won’t do which are low-end jobs. Having a policy of immigration that supports only low end jobs would certainly be for the benefit of employers eager to exploit foreign workers.

Joe opposes granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. Why would a low end worker who’s “bussed” to and from work need a driver’s license? Joe opposes requiring English as the national language. Not providing the tools that this section of the populous could use to better themselves keeps them indentured to their current job and status. Allowing these immigrants to have identification and the knowledge of the English language would probably enable them to get an education or start a small business and grow out of this cheap labor force and that Joe doesn’t seem to want.

Joe has stated that it is impractical to deport 14 million illegal immigrants. Impractical! Impractical! Impractical is the word that Joe chose to use. Not immoral, not tragic, not un-American but “impractical”. Again this goes to show that he simply values these immigrants as low-end resources for their mighty employers and it would be too expensive to bus these resources out of the country and find costlier native-borns to take their positions. Ask yourself this question: Who would choose the word impractical? Someone who’s after practical things. A cheap labor-force is very practical.

He’s voted for the border fence but has stated that it is to tackle drug trafficking, not that it would stop illegal migration into the country which is consistent with his policy of maintaining cheap labor.

Joe’s voted yes on continuing federal funds for sanctuary cities, no on limiting welfare for immigrants, yes on allowing more foreign workers for farm work, yes on allowing illegal immigrants to participate in social security by way of receiving benefits, yes on comprehensive immigration reform that legalized illegal immigrants by providing them with a “Z” visa where what they could do was limited.

Let’s analyze this voting record. Sanctuary cities are not needed for skilled immigrants as they are legal in the first place. Sanctuary cities are needed to protect the low end labor force. Skilled immigrants are not after welfare either nor depend on social security benefits though they pay into it. While voting no on skilled and H1-B visas, Joe consistently votes yes for low-end immigrant farm workers. Providing welfare and allowing illegal immigrants to participate in social security is simply because Joe realizes that the low-end needs the support of the tax payer so that wages can continue to be low and tax-payer subsidized employment can be made available to greedy employers who need them.

Looking at his protectionist policies for the natural-born American labor force, his anti-skilled immigration stand and open border approach for unskilled low-end immigrants makes it clear that he wants natural born Americans to prosper and attain great heights while the jobs they leave behind should be handled by temporary low-end guest workers creating a low class society of foreign immigrant workers. He wants to see the lower stratum of society be exclusively foreign born. If I’m mistaken, then Joe should make his position clear.
