Harris and Dem support of illegal immigration

 The Federalist Wire:

...

A plan heavily advocated by Vice President Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign could bring a significant influx of migrants to American cities and towns via the Diversity Visa Lottery, an immigration program notorious for allowing a convicted Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist entry into the U.S.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Channel’s Special Report, Harris spoke positively about the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021.

As reported by Breitbart News, this legislation not only promises broad amnesty for millions of illegal aliens but also guarantees a streamlined path to American citizenship for them.

However, a critical part of the bill is its expansion of the widely criticized Diversity Visa Lottery. Polls from 2018 revealed that nearly 60% of likely voters wanted the program to be abolished.

The Diversity Visa Lottery, introduced through the Immigration Act of 1990 by then-Senator Ted Kennedy and signed by President George H.W. Bush, randomly awards approximately 55,000 visas annually.

These visas are distributed to nationals from various countries, including those known for harboring terrorism threats such as Afghanistan, Libya, and Yemen.

Under the Harris-backed legislation, the number of visas awarded annually through this system would increase by 25,000, potentially adding close to a million new legal immigrants to the U.S. every decade.
...

Immigration should be limited to those who would benefit the US and its economy and not just anyone who shows up looking to get in.It should not be a DEI-run program.  The US already is a diverse society.  What the US should look for are people with merit who will make the country stronger and more productive.

 On Sept. 25, the department replied: “As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket, which includes those detained by ICE, and on the agency’s non-detained docket.” This includes 435,719 “convicted criminals” and 226,847 with “pending criminal charges.” Of the 662,566 illegal immigrants with criminal records, approximately 647,000 weren’t detained. This number doesn’t include those who evaded ICE’s eye.

This is more evidence of how irresponsible the Biden-Harris administration is with its open-borders policy.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
