Republican Senators are willing to sell the farm for what would be a terrible deal even if Biden elected to honor the terms.
CBS reports Biden and senators on verge of striking immigration deal aimed at clamping down on illegal border crossings
Trojan Horse Deal Details
- The agreement is expected to give the executive branch a new legal authority to effectively suspend asylum in between official ports of entry when migrant crossings surpass certain thresholds.
- The power, which Mr. Biden referred to as an authority to “shut down the border” on Friday, would be mandated after average daily migrant crossings hit 5,000 over seven days, or 8,500 in a single day.
- It could also be activated on a discretionary basis after average daily crossings surpass 4,000 in a week.
- There would also be a limit on the number of days each year the president could invoke the authority.
1: Biden already the authority to secure the border. He has no interest in doing so or he would have already done so. The administration even ripped open holes in the razor wire fence that Texas erected. If that’s not a come on in message, what is?
2: Has anyone done the math on this? 5,000 a day for 365 days is 1,825,000. There’s your trojan horse right there. We already know what’s inside.
3: Point three is a joke. What’s with this “could” stuff as if Biden would actually do it. Besides, does anyone expect a legitimate count?
4. Point four is an even bigger joke. It would limit the number of days Biden could shut the border even if he wanted to.
Huge Irony of the Deal
The irony of the deal is that the flip side is over a hundred billion in additional spending on Ukraine and Israel that should not be spent at all.
And there’s still more. Here’s bonus point five.
“While the proposal negotiated by the White House and lawmakers would penalize those who enter the U.S. illegally, it would preserve asylum at official ports of entry. In fact, it would require U.S. border officials to continue processing more than 1,400 asylum-seekers daily at these official border crossings when the “shutdown” authority is invoked, sources told CBS News.“
And how does this miracle happen? Here’s bonus point six.
“All the provisions being negotiated would require an enormous surge in personnel and resources, including detention facilities and deportation flights, to be implemented. The Biden administration has asked for $14 billion to fund border operations and hire additional asylum officers, border agents and immigration judges.”
Well, not to worry. The amazing deal Republicans negotiated would only allow 5,000 * 31 In January, March, May, July, October, and December.
My math says that’s 155,000 in those months and 150,000 in the rest except February.
What Republican dimwits negotiated these terms? These clowns are so desperate for money for Ukraine and Israel they will sign anything.

Meanwhile, the floodgates are open.
Sanctuary Cities Seek More Money for Migrants, But is Money the Problem?
On December 30, I asked Sanctuary Cities Seek More Money for Migrants, But is Money the Problem?
I suspect you know the answer to this one. If not here it is. The more money we throw at this problem, the worse it will get.
By the way, if you have not figured this out, it’s very inflationary.
The House should kill this bill outright. But if Johnson puts it to a vote it will sail because every Democrat will back it, laughing all the way.
Added three Tweets to my post. One is one of the biggest lies in history, by Biden
If anybody is qualified to tell one of the biggest lies in history, it’s Biden. By all accounts, his political career should have been over in the late 1980s when he was caught plagarizing, as well as lying about his academic record. But yet here we are. He’s the best and brightest that the dems have to offer.
I think you’d be hard pressed to find any Democrats who think Biden is the best and brightest they have to offer.
He was presented as their candidate specifically to beat Trump in 2020 when it became obvious that the leading candidate at the time, Sanders, had no shot at winning over Trump.
Now many realize he’s probably not the candidate to beat Trump in 2024 but that baring something unforeseen, they are stuck with him.
Biden is monumentally insulting to anyone with any self-respect and pride. Who the hell does he think he is fooling? His lies and disrespect for all listeners, is only surpassed by the blind ambition of the Govenor of California, Gavin Newsom, who claims Biden is the best President of his lifetime.
Biden is an absolute piece of poop. Thats his legacy and his stage 5 Alzheimers isn’t going to save his career. He will get all the delegates and then the DNC will tell him to give those delegates to Gavin or Mike(Michelle) Obama. Thats how its going to roll. He won’t have a second term. He is bound for nursing home and more drooling
Alot worse than pc of …..
As Mark Baum said back in ’08:
“I have a feeling in a few years people are going to be doing what they always do when the economy tanks. They will be blaming immigrants and poor people.”
For over 40 years we’ve given away our net worth in the form of corporate welfare and free money for wealthy campaign donors.
We’ve been lied to that “it will pay for itself”, that it will “trickle down”, and all the perps have to do is say “Liberals want your guns”, mention “woke”, or “liberals love illegal immigrants” and the morons go nuts.
Those lost tax revenues created jobs in China, Mexico, Taiwan, everywhere but here, and now the right feeds it’s hungry dogs angry distractions…and it works.
We’re on the verge of watching a career criminal, conman, rapist run for the highest office, and still folks are obsessed with distractions.
There’s one born every minute and they appear to vote Republican.

Socialist rant.
Mish, Amy Coney Barrett is simply a statist. Every Golden Domer I ever met is. Higher Authority knows best, government as corporate org chart, etc. ACB also made court decision on Indiana University Bloomington students for mandatory vax. Judge Napolitano said on podcast a few weeks ago that Trump had talked with him as a candidate for USSC for both that seat and Kavanaugh one, and Trump passed him over both times.
I think Biden or any other Democrat who gets the Presidential nominee will lose the election on the migrants/illegals/economy issue.
What makes that so mind blowing is the biggest problem we have now is demographics, boomers retiring faster than birth rates, we’re the next Japan.
We need workers.
.
We need workers. We do NOT need ILLEGALS that come to our country and get FREE health care, FREE food, FREE housing, etc. Illegals are not allowed to LEGALLY work in the US so they’re not paying income taxes (federal and state). These are only free to the illegals….nothing is free in life. WE are paying for these out of the taxes we pay. (state, federal, county, city, etc.)
I wish. It’s been decades since the US standard of living has been as high as Japan’s and the standard of living in the USA will be significantly lower than Japan’s for as long as we’re alive.
Yes, If this insanity by Democrats continues.
Workers who pay taxes and have health insurance.
You need help, and I ain’t givin it to you. Talk to ppl.
Chasing the Amewican Dream should be evewybody’s right ! Right ?
What the heavy migration of Hispanics in the last forty years has done is decrease the percentage blacks in the population to a low level never seen before. Before the Cubans came into Florida, blacks were 25% of the population. After they dropped down to 20% then 16% and so forth. At the time they said that before they were second class citizens and now they are third class citizens. The same thing risks happening since the immigrants are heavily non-black. Some in the back community are starting to wake up to the fact that immigration hurts them directly and that those coming in are not necessarily their allies and if it continues, the influence of the black community will diminish.
Watts and Compton in Cali were black cities for many decades.
Not anymore.
They can thank DC’s immigration policies for that.
Two Reno, Nevada sized cities a year have to be built in order to house illegals at the current rate. How is that environmental.
Our idiots in charge on display once again…
– 30,024 DECEMBER 22, 2023 | NUMBER OF THE DAY
Migration in the U.S. is returning to pre-pandemic patterns, and the national population grew by 0.5% in 2023.
> They were heralding 30k new arrivals, when we have tens of millions streaming over here into each and every state.
> Can you say “Illegal Immigration” Dolts… So they try to explain this away, by blaming it on a “9% increase in deaths“ (insert your guess here), paired (you saw that right) with “rebounding immigration” Hahaha… I guess all the new folks arriving illegally into our Country, are now considered a “Rebound” I guess maybe, there are no laws against a rebound?
It just keeps getting more silly and more stupid each and every day too…
1.8M is not enough. Our economy needs more immigrants.
Good sarcasm. Penniless, illiterate immigrants are very costly. Start doing some research.
Trump’s request for money to build a wall looks like a REAL bargain.
Yep. $5B compared to $450B.
We’re in trouble if these 10 million who’ve come in 3 yrs, are not deported.
Notice how many times the Chicago mayor uses the word ‘chaos” –
Brandon Johnson Hospitalized With Panic Attacks Over Migrants (youtube.com)
Scott Adams covered the “chaos” thing in a livestream a couple of days ago. Its a team blue tactic going back to the 90s (it was only “risky” then) to scare the oldsters hypnotized by the cable news propaganda. Works on any issue; certainly anything to do with Trump. I am surprised that particular word would work. 60 years ago on Saturday nights that Tennessee Tuxedo guy was in another sitcom where “KAOS” was a madcap version of the KGB.
Abbott should have kept the buses coming: Oak Park, Old Town, Lincoln Park, the mansion with 19 chimneys, Wicker Park, Logan Square, Lake View, Wrigleyville, Ravenswood, Northbrook, Wilmette, Winnetka, Kenilworth, Highland Park…
The dog that didn’t bark: nobody in Chicago media on one side or the other dares name Governor Fatso. He could stop the whole thing in a second by standing in the middle of I-57 at Cairo, IL .
We see how much respect and regard our top politicians have for the phrase “faithfully execute the laws of the United States” that is in their oath of office. What a government!
As for Mish’s remark “if you have not figured this out, it’s very inflationary.” – that is because of government’s choice in how to do it; print money in order to pay for it, along with so many other things too. If instead government taxed us to obtain the money, we would see the other end of the telescope, of having less money. The effect is the same. Government is deciding more of what our national production and national income will be “spent” on, leaving us less to spend on our own choices.
Leave the illegal aliens alone and unvaccinated. The next lab virus released lockdown and get mandated vaccines. Your freedom has limits. Theirs does not.
What is the progressives obsession with turning America into a Mexican Country. It is not progress but is actually de-evolution.
Psychiatrists have a term for the far Lefts current mental state: Toxic Empathy
I think anti-Americanism is apropos too.
This is another issue where pundits debate the obvious, but do nothing. If Texas and the 25 other state Governors stand up to the Feds, what are they going to do – send in the Army? Even if they did, it would force the discovery of what ultimately collapses totalitarian coups, which is soldiers rarely fire on their own citizens, unless the military and LE are being replaced with foreigners (and that is being attempted).
Instead, people should be running for positions in their local and state govt’s to stop all this upside-down BS, like this woman – https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/sole-republican-in-county-gets-arrested-wins-federal-suit-for-political-persecution-facts-matter-5574826?src_src=News&src_cmp=breaking-2024-01-29-2&est=05eKuD2i8Y6dAoC0mH0aBf7T4yYaMIdJEO5uxkyZv0x51DOYJ5pQmUN4p8%2BnWK9Fckw2XQ%3D%3D
“Has anyone done the math on this? 5,000 a day for 365 days is 1,825,000. There’s your trojan horse right there. We already know what’s inside.”
And that’s the exact number of boomers dying each day. Seems reasonable to me, we need the labor. The JOLTS report is out today and it went up to 9.03 million. It will keep going up as more and more people retire. It may go down in a recession but then when the economy roars back we’ll have huge labor shortages and huge inflation.
Who here doesn’t understand that the population is in an inverted pyramid and there won’t be enough people to pay into social security and medicare for the millions of boomers retiring?
The Congressional deal should be stop immigration in exchange for cutting social security and medicare. I’m on board with that but if that’s not going to happen then people need to keep coming in and given work authorization so they pay taxes, ss and medicare.
Keep saying economically sensible things and you’ll become very unpopular here.
Upvoted.
There is another way to obtain what you want: that candidates for immigration (at least a large part of them) are offered a work contract valid for a certain time, at the end of which they return at their home. It works like this in Singapore
And how much money will be spent on traveling back and forth? How much pollution? Are there enough planes, trains and boats to make this happen?
Won’t that drive inflation up for airline, train and ships? Won’t the new whining be about all the immigrants taking up all the plane, train and ship seats to come work here?
Will these contractors be paying into social security and medicare? Why should they if they will never benefit from it?
The truth is there are labor shortages all over the world. Germany just introduced a 4 day work week to attract more immigrants. France, Italy, Japan all have huge labor shortages as does most of the western world. China is in a demographic crisis too.
The world is filling up with old people and not enough young people to do the hard work. I say we grab as many as quickly as possible before other countries do OR we start cutting all these social programs. The math says its one or the other.
An immigrant comes and then goes back 3 years later. This does not make a lot of travel.
I think (as a boomer) that the best we can do for our youth is to start cutting all these social programs. We must not let the young people with this choice: either be burdened to pay huge social programs, or loose their country, be replaced. If that is the only choice we leave them, they will have the right to revolt against their parents
What you describe is what your gubermint minions imagined would happen. Every temporary stopgap plan is only as good as there is the willingness to follow through on the whole deal. Now, does it look like a successful outcome or a population replacement?
But we aren’t grabbing people who will work. Those being let in are children, their mothers, older people etc. The kids may one day work (decade or more) but the mothers and older people won’t. Instead all of them will be a drain on the current system which is something we absolutely don’t need.
I’m all for importing workers. But those need to be people who:
1) Are working age (18-40)
2) Have a viable skill (and no, working in the fields isn’t a viable skill)
3) No criminal record
4) Speak English (or are willing and able to learn it quickly)
There are the people we need to be courting to move to America from the rest of the world.
Your mysoginy is bleeding thru badly but in any event any time I have stayed at a hotel it is a hispanic lady cleaning it, when I drive a construction site or Home Depot I see lots of working age men eager to get picked up by a construction crew.
And dont get me started on farms…
Which of the 4 items I am looking for in working immigrants is misogyny?
The illegals / temporary workers you are referencing are something entirely different. The US already has temporary worker visas in states like Texas where workers can come for a couple months, earn money and go home. Nothing needs to change with those policies.
“Germany introduced a 4 day week to attract more immigrants”: Thats a lie. The truth: Most of the millions of new immigrants here are useless for the empoyment market. Many of them can`t read and if they can than only arabic. The costs of the immigration is more than 50 billions Euro per year and this will destroy the welfare state within a short time. Germans have to work more and longer to support this immigrants.
Complete nonsense….where innovation is coming from in Germany. But yes education and training programs needed, that will be the case whether they are immigrants or native born.
link to innovationorigins.com
I followed the link. The site is available in English and in German. The linked item is not available in German, because everybody from Germany would know that it is nonsense. Truth: 3/4 of the millions of immigrants who came since 2015 are not able to feed themselves and will never be. On the site you can read, that the site don
t deal "on what goes wrong today." Thats the problem. They only tell fairy tales about the world of tomorrow. Don`t trust them.“…. are offered a work contract valid for a certain time,”
That would be a phenomenal solution, the problem is there’d be nothing for xenophobes to bitch about.
Singapore has string laws and willing to execute them.
Until the West universally gets governments like Singapore, it would be just another failure.
I agree, and it works like this in South Korea too. I had to get a work visa sponsored in order to come here. If I lose my job, I have 60 days to find a new job, or I have to leave. If I overstay illegally, I’ll have to pay significant fines. I have to pay federal and local income taxes and I have to contribute monthly to national health insurance. I also had to provide a clean FBI criminal background check for my work visa and had to pass a piss test for drugs in order to qualify for legal residency. Nothing is free. It’s why the standard of living is so much higher here than in the USA and why I prefer to live here.
That is a lie, that Jolts number is so blatantly misaligned only a liberal could think its real. Plenty of welfare folks can work, time to end welfare, no more jobs for illegal alien leeches
I agree, social security welfare queens need to get back to work. There are 71 million of these leeches not contributing anything which is why immigrants are needed. The two problems are linked.
there won’t be enough people to pay into social security and medicare
Your apple to apple comparison of the productivity of whites to Hispanic illegals is another progressive fantasy.
US NAEP 2019 mathematics results for high school seniors indicate a majority (54%) of Hispanics, 29% of whites, and 20% of Asians are innumerate. If the US was to take in millions of any ethnic groups, which I do not support, to maintain our standard of living it would be Europeans and East Asians.
Hispanics will impoverish the US.

Wrong boomer. Texas has the most job growth and guess what…

And the reality is that without immigrants, the US will slowly die off..go ckeckout Italy for a glimpse of the future or Spain where entire villages now sit empty.
Look it up on Census.gov, 75% population growth coming from immigration because Americans cant seem to knock up women.
There is economic and demographic reality then there is boomer fantasyland.
Wrong boomer. Texas has the most job growth and guess what… link to
Non sequitur, you’ve failed to grasp and address my argument that Hispanic illegals would offer low human capital to any advanced technological country.
It would be much more advantageous to grant citizenship to the Taiwanese or Estonians.

Your easily refuted subjective, biased and prejudiced reply lacks all objectivity because, after all, if your well versed in Leftist thinking, objectivity is a manifestation of white supremacy.
And sadly, since your when you are at work you are neither punctual nor accurate, how do you earn a living? Welfare?
Growing the population is not always the best answer. Some countries get fill the jobs by giving out work visas. You can work but you cannot stay. I am not sure why we do not try that. Some may then apply to eventually become a citizen.
Maybe that should be a requirement to become a future citizen. Sort of like hiring a person as a contract worker before determining to hire them full time.
This may be a good way to vet productive versus freeloaders.
So lets understand this – here is a deal that is certainly better than the situation today and gives the president authority he did not have before (when people claim otherwise they never show the law). Should Biden win a 2nd term without the deal, would the situation be better or worse? Were Trump to win again, would he not immediately try to change the law to something else?
So rather than do something that is in a positive direction the GOP takes its marbles and goes home. Will be quite the chuckle if Biden wins again and makes the border even more permissive!
Hear hear, but let’s just join the crowd and bitch for the sake of it.
hilarious, all these posters who back illegal alien leeches have not show one receipt for taking in these criminal and terrorist scum, show me the receipts hypocrite liberals
“Huge Irony of the Deal”
The irony is that the American people put up with all the government corruption.

This post is bull-tits, worthless.
The treasury announced yesterday they’ll be issuing less debt, that’s tradable news, but not a peep about this from Mish.
While it doesn’t suit the agenda of Mish’s followers, the fact that time was taken to post an bitch-fest about Biden, while ignoring real economic news isn’t going to make me money.
I’ve made similar comments recently as well. I have a jumbo CD maturing on Friday and am struggling with the decision to reinvest in another CD or some T-bills or whether to deploy part or all of the funds in an insane equity market trading near all-time highs, yet with no sign of cooling. Would be nice to hear Mish’s take on such topics, as well as that of the commenters here, but we’ll probably get another EV post instead.
Yikes! A little angry today, Milton. Give Mish a chance. He posts quite a bit of stuff.
And FYI, it’s never a bad thing to have a bitch-fest about [FJB], emphasis added.
Good, you hang here and bitch, I’m off to gather ideas and read tradable news.
Oh, I’ll reveal in bitching about [FJB] all day long!
I think you meant “revel”.
Oh, darn!
If you don’t derive benefit from Mish’s posts, you have a choice. I find Mish’s perspective and clarity on these important matters to be timely and economically relevant.
Declining birth rate, boomers retiring faster than births, JOLTs just reported an increase despite the Fed’s efforts….and you find this post “informative”.
Interesting, would you mind telling us what trade you’re making off this?
.
Why is this migration allowed?what’s the purpose,COVID deaths equals tax based reduced.boomers retiring,young generation don’t want to reproduce who is going to do the lifting,demographics points the way .get over it think Super Bowl people.
I’m waiting for Trump’s probable and strong reaction to this agreement. I think he has the power to prevent it
Hopefully, the power to prevent world war as well.
But funding for darling Israel is at stake! Campaign funds will be withheld by AIPAC if Congress doesn’t do what Israel wants. Who cares about the US. Were just here to serve Israel.
Not sure about the “darling” part, but they’re doing a bang-up job liquidating Hamas dogs.
‘Liquidating Hamas dogs’ is using code for destroying every atom of Arab existence in Gaza.
Gaza should be a parking lot, not all societies deserve to exist.
Spoken like a true psychopath. And who gets to decide who gets exterminated?
The bombs & bullets do. Duh!
All of this is heading towards a biblical end of world war.
Up vote! Especially if they support the Hamas dogs.
Not all Muslims are radical Islamist. But the ones who are AND commit terrorist acts need to be liquidated. It’s that simple.
You can’t negotiate with them. They believe in an abomination of the Koran.
Not really. I think Hamas’s numbers are growing as Israel slaughters innocent men, women and children in the sanctimonious lust for vengeance.
Exactly. So Biden and democrat voters create a disaster at the border by breaking current immigration laws. And then demand Republicans give in to their demands in exchange for a token change in thier insane open border disorder. Break the immigration laws and then demand consessions to maybe “follow” the laws.
Insane indeed. The number of ways these 14M illegals will have negative effects on our economy, drugs, crime, etc in the coming years will be immense. There’s zero downside to closing the border.
The UniParty strikes again. The turtle needs to go. He’s an embarrassment to Congress.
Let’s see what the average news consumer believes about this scenario. Right now the Dems are well-positioned to either get what they want or make the GOP look like hypocrites wrt the border. This is not a claim as to what is really going down, just a claim about public perception.
Does anyone see a good way out of this for the GOP wrt public opinion?
The GOP should emphasize the true nature of this deal and the reasoning for turning it down. GOP should be shouting from the rooftops — or any media outlet that will listen — that a deal allowing 5k illegals per day isn’t really shutting down the border. It’s a game of semantics. But unfortunately, many Americans probably just read headlines.
It also wouldn’t hurt the GOP to enphasize that important national security and immigration issues shouldn’t be tied to aid for Ukraine and Isreal, which is a seperate unrelated issue. Just get out there and tell people that the deal flat out sucks.
The GOP should realize Democratic and MSM elites have become useful idiots to a progressive Marxists as exemplified by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Washington Post.
On the positive side….the more chaos our arrogant political masters create, the more likely the backlash against them.
Too many Americans will remain oblivious until disaster becomes undeniably apparent.
It’s good for Trump, that’s for sure.
“Too many Americans will remain oblivious until disaster becomes undeniably apparent.”
‘Frog in the kettle’ analogy and unfortunately 100% correct.
“My math says that’s 155,000 in those months and 150,000 in the rest except February.”
December saw 300,000 at the southern border.
If Biden gets to sign this, he will go into the election saying, “With the stroke of a pen, I reduced illegal immigration by 50%. Imagine what I could do with four more years.”
Any chance for the future of America is gone with the connivance of those few GOP senators.
The deflating BRICS people invade our country to send money to their families.The
Egyptian Lira collapsed. Tourism stopped and income from the Suez canal slowed
down. USD/EGPp popped up from 6 in Dec 2023 to 70. MBS refuses to take it. Al Sisi might be ousted. The want of dollars is growing.
“…What Republican dimwits negotiated these terms?…”
You know the answer to this Mish. Republicans have no interest in securing the border either. If Republicans go along with this dumpster fire of a bill, it will hurt thier chances of taking the Senate and maintaining a majority in the house this fall.
For the past 40 years everytime a deal was close the GOP scuttled it because immigaration is their single best fund raising issue.
We should all admit that our government really hates the citizens. Government is putting the welfare and health of it’s own citizens last.
Both the Democrats (all of them) and the Republicans (a lot of them) hate us!
There is no other reasonable explanation.
I don’t know if it’s hate, or if they simply see destitute immigrants as more malleable and thus better suited for thier (politicians) end game.
Regardless I get your underlying point and agree 100%.
The simple explanation isn’t hate. It is greed and extreme self-interest. If any one of us could get rich via insider trading, vote in accordance with special interest groups that pay to keep us elected, or extort special interest groups to pay to keep us elected, and have no requirement to produce anything how many would resist? The evidence says almost all of us would succumb.
Maybe. Alternatively maybe it says the kind of sociopaths inclined to seek political power would all succumb. Is it really a surprise that this kind of power attracts the worst human beings?
Absolute. Power!
Migrants will do the work that foolhardy and overly proud Americans think they are too good to do. Who else is going to keep our economic engine humming until the robots take over? Jose will pick asparagus and green beans for eight bucks an hour with a smile on his face and financially support his entire family. Most “native” Americans won’t lift a finger until the min wage is $20
Illegal alien criminals actually get on welfare, get free college tuition, sell drugs, organize child trafficking rings for prostitution and steal anything they can.
Pretty soon they’ll mandate Spanish as a legal national language, otherwise…wait for it…racism!
Plantation owners in 1860 made the same argument. Your lifestyle depends on slavery, just admit it.
Maybe you should help out and pick some string beans yourself.
