From Breitbart: A coordinated alliance of lobbyists are submerging President Donald Trump and selected GOP politicians under many close friends and allies who are urging them to import more low-wage and submissive migrants for jobs that would otherwise go to Americans who can vote in future elections, according to Business Insider.
On February 10, BusinessInsider.com described the “Make America Wealthy Again” [MAWA] lobbying campaign:
“Trump as a businessman understands that if he doesn’t have 200 [H-2A visa worker] guys cutting the grass at his golf courses, then they don’t look right, and people won’t want to play golf there,” says Cristina Antelo, the founding principal at Ferox Strategies, a lobbying firm that counts the National Retail Federation, Walmart, and the tobacco giant Reynolds America among its clients. “There’s a way to get to Trump and make him realize that. How many businesses does he need to hear from before he’s like, ‘Crap, I really am going to paralyze the entire US labor market if I do this’?”
The MAWA plan is to apply pressure on business allies in Trump’s inner circle, rather than on the president directly, and to steer clear of Stephen Miller, the administration’s most outspoken anti-immigration hard-liner. “Stephen Miller won’t ever be convinced. Forget that,” says a lobbyist from a prominent trade association. “But Trump can be convinced not to screw over fellow businesspeople. Miller isn’t the only dude who has Trump’s ear.”
Business Insider explained that the lobbyists have already begun reaching out to members of Congress and their staffs, and trying to pressure them with a “shock and awe” campaign designed to sway GOP members of Congress “who understand that immigrants are willing to take low-paying, high-risk jobs that are shunned by most Americans.”
Meanwhile, a report published by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) last week revealed that the majority – a whopping 88% – of job growth during the four years of the Biden administration went to immigrants.
