The Big Racket

      Comments Off on The Big Racket

The Biden administration is considering curtailing the ability for citizens to travel freely but has effectively hung out an “Open Borders” sign for illegals to come into the country.  That would mean the border would once again be overrun by drugs, sex traffickers and criminals.  Is this just the usual hypocrisy from the Left?  Or is there something more sinister going on?

ARIZONA […]  In recent days, more than 1,000 people who had been detained after crossing into the U.S. have been released into the country in a reversal of the Trump administration’s near-shutdown of the border. Many more people are gathering on the Mexican side, setting up a test of America’s ability and willingness to admit migrants during a pandemic.

On Thursday in Mexicali, across from Calexico, Calif., migrants could be seen trying to scale a border fence. A migrant camp in Matamoros, Mexico, just across a bridge from Texas, has grown to 1,000 people over the past few weeks.

There is something more sinister going on.  The best title for it might be “The Big Racket.”

Sundance over at CTH has written on this subject multiple times over the years.  I will be quoting liberally from his posts.

Politicians on both sides of the aisle play political games with the issue of illegal immigration. As Sundance has noted:

There is no greater disconnect from ordinary Americans on any singular issue than the policy positions of Democrats and Republicans in Washington DC surrounding illegal immigration. President Donald Trump was confronting their unified interests.

Let’s understand that the vast majority of Americans regardless of background are opposed to an open borders policy.  So why is there such a clear disconnect between policy proscriptions from our elected representatives and the wishes of the electorate?  The answer is simple.  Money!

Massive illegal immigration is supported by both sides of the professional political machine.

….

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce pays politicians to keep this system in place.  All Democrats and most Republicans support mass immigration. Almost no DC politicians want to take action on any policy or legislation that stops the influx. There are billions at stake. None of the GOP leadership want to actually stop illegal immigration; it’s a lucrative business. Almost all of the CONservative groups and politicians lie about it.

Is it any wonder that there was such an uproar over Trump’s attempts to change how this system worked, over stopping the flow of illegals?  The Washington elite did not want the tap to be turned off.  They had to distract the public from what is really going on.

This kind of “breaking news” is designed to create an uproar and chaos.   Separating children from their parents was not an issue during the Obama administration.  However, once PDJT threatened the cash flow, it became front page news.  Literally hours of broadcast time and many inches of column space were spent haranguing the public over these children while the Big Racket continued behind the smokescreen that was created.

Let’s check out Southwest Key, the company highlighted in Tapper’s tweet.  The company received over $600 million from the government in 2018 alone.  Most of this was to care for children.  More than 98% of their income comes from government grants.

Almost $3 billion for one company.  A detailed breakdown of the monies awarded to this company can be found here.

Sundance reports that Southwest Key is “the mother lode of sketchy exploitation of immigration.

Again, this is just one company.  And this kind of sketchy behavior is not limited to non-sectarian companies.  Religious or faith-based organizations are part of the problem too.  In the past 10-15 years, illegal immigration and refugee resettlement have been a financial windfall for them as well.

Sundance did extensive research back in 2014 about the financial arrangements that are part of this scheme.

We have identified (through extensive research) that each UAC, each individual, is estimated/evaluated at a HHS cost level of around $40,000 per grant (give or take). So if you see a grant for $2,325,000 you can divide by $40k and find out that’s about 58 (people) UAC’s in that facility or process for the quarter (3 month period), or time they are being transitioned/processed in that facility or organization.

Who was the biggest beneficiary that Sundance identified in 2014?

Baptist Child and Family Services Emergency Management Division (BCFS-EMD) $270,000,000+

Of course, they are not the only ones.  The US Conference of Catholic Bishops was another big beneficiary.  Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services was a third.  Now the people in the pews probably do not know about this.  However, the higher-ups inside the church hierarchies certainly do.

“Faith Based Immigration Services” is code-speak for legalized human smuggling.

So when you’ve got each individual immigration business making multi-hundreds of millions; and politicians getting kick-backs (lobbyists); and bribes to Mexican government officials; and payments to smugglers; who do you think actually wants the business to stop?

It certainly isn’t Wall Street or the US Chamber of Commerce.  The smuggling of illegal aliens benefits these people by forcing wages down.  This is especially true with people who have few skills or who are unskilled.  Biden’s Open Borders policy will quickly wipe out wage gains that have been made by people at the lower end of the labor pool during the Trump administration.  Millions of people are back on the road to poverty because of the actions of the avatar in the White House.

This is why PDJT was opposed at every turn on the issue of reforming immigration and trying to protect our border.  PDJT was threatening to end a very lucrative business model for Washington elites whether they be politicians or lobbyists or the US Chamber of Commerce.  It was a business model funded by massive amounts of US taxpayer dollars.   A significant percentage of that taxpayer money works its way back into the pockets of the DC politicians by design.

All Democrats and many Republicans benefit from keeping the border “open.”

This is the Big Racket.  It is run by many people who have abandoned all pretenses of being morally good.  Quite simply, this represents evil in some of its worst forms including sex trafficking and child exploitation.  The perpetrators of this evil will continually deflect the public’s attention by running some scheme or sideshow whenever sunlight happens to touch any part of this operation.

I am reminded of Lady Proxima in the Solo movie.

Any sunlight scalded the skin off of her.  The same is true here.  Sunlight will permanently mark those who have participated in this evil scheme whether they be politicians or priests.

Purveyors of the truth need to keep a spotlight on this so that more and more Americans will stand up and take notice.  It is time to end this evil and to hold accountable all who participated in it.
