New York Times Celebrates: The Wealthy That We Serve Will Pay Less For Luxurious Vacations Because of All the Illegal Aliens Working For Low Wages at Spas and Resorts

Yay!

NYTimes celebrates lower wages for the hired 'help' that caters & cleans their weekend getaways in the Adirondack hills.
Yes, migration allows clever & comfortable Americans to feel proud as they divorce themselves from the needs of ordinary citizens.

At Breitbart:

Wealthy New Yorkers will get cheaper weekend getaways because President Joe Biden's migration flood is washing away marketplace pressure to raise wages for Americans, says a celebratory article in the New York Times.
"The [extra supply of workers] has been helpful for businesses like the Weekender hotels in the Adirondacks, " reporter Jeanne Smialek wrote on July 24, adding:

The firm's six [legal J-1] visa workers are spread across three of its seven properties, said Keir Weimer, the founder of the company, and are a small but important chunk of its 85-person work force.
The company has also been having an easier time competing for employees in general after a few years of adaptation. Mr. Weimer estimated that pay was up 10 to 15 percent over the past 15 months [when migraton was lower], but said wage growth was beginning to cool.
"We're starting to now get more defined on career-track progression and having wages tied to performance and promotion, rather than just market," he said. "There's definitely less wage pressure than there was a year ago."
The average wage in the area around Old Forge is just $31,844, according to CensusReporter.org.

The New York Times hopes that the flood of illegal workers will put a dent in the hyperinflation unleashed by the profligate spending of the Biden Administration (which they also support, of course):

The article was titled "A Flood of New Workers Has Made the Fed's Job Less Painful. Can It Persist?" The article spotlighted investors' hopes that the wage cuts forced by illegal migration can reduce overall inflation before the top leaders in the Federal Reserve pump up interest rates.
Many investors on Wall Street oppose those interest rate hikes -- and they welcome Biden's inflation-reducing, wage-cutting migration of millions of migrant workers via the nation's borders and airports. The inflow of workers is aided by the government's inflow of short-term visa workers, such as the J-1 and H-2B workers.
Most migrants will hard work for lower wages than needed by American parents. That poverty holds down the portion of inflation that comes from rising wages.
Many businesses favor migration because it allows them to hire cheap and compliant migrants instead of less-desirable American workers, such as former convicts or argumentative workers.
But mainstream Americans and their families have more leverage to win higher wages and better conditions when the federal government reduces migration, as it did under President Donald Trump.

Makes it clear that mass extralegal migration--ie millions--is an essential part of whatever "Bidenomics" is. Reduces inflation at the cost of lowering wages of those at the bottom who most need raises--but that cost is hidden (just as the migrant #s are)

Some additional news gleaned from Ed Driscoll at Instapundit:

Jared Bernstein, member of Biden's Council of Economic Advisors: "One thing we learned in the 1990s was that a surefire way to reconnect the fortunes of working people at all skill levels, immigrant and native-born alike, to the growing economy is to let the job market tighten up. A tight job market pressures employers to boost wage offers to get and keep the workers they need. One equally surefire way to sort-circuit this useful dynamic is to turn on the immigrant spigot every time some group's wages go up."

The nasty yuppies of the broadcast networks are angry that Governor Abbot's buoy-fence on the Rio Grande will keep out illegal aliens and make their four-weeks-per-year vacations marginally more expensive.

Just as we finished up our study looking at the last nine and a half months of border coverage, the broadcast networks began shrieking in disgust at a line of red buoys that Texas Governor Greg Abbott had installed in the Rio Grande. Over their past week their buoy-induced wailing has already eclipsed the airtime given to issues like child labor and drug smuggling since October of 2022.
MRC analysts found that between July 19 and July 26, broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC spent a combined 2056 seconds (34 min, 16 sec) on the buoys across their flagship morning and evening newscasts. Even if we look only at evening newscasts, as our recent study did, we're left with 935 seconds (15 min, 35 sec) -- more than these networks over the last ten months have spent on migrant child labor (807 seconds), illegal crossings from Canada (323 seconds), and drug smuggling (294).
The media hate these buoys for the same reason that they hate any other barrier along our southern border: because they make it harder for illegal aliens to enter the country. It really is that simple.

Video at the link.

At the New York Post: China is banking on America's suicidal immigration policy.

Globalization only made China stronger, and it fractured America's social compact, leading to the intense polarization of our politics today.
The highly educated winners of globalization are on one side; abandoned Americans turned to populism, nationalism and Donald Trump.
Overconfidence in immigration-driven demographics will lead to similar upheavals.
The proportion of foreign-born persons in the United States today, some 13.7%, is about as high as it was at the peak of the last great wave of immigration in the early 20th century.
Back then, pressure on immigrants to assimilate was enormous -- and even so, immigration was political dynamite, with voters ultimately so concerned that they elected Republicans who restricted immigration for 40 years, a pause in which assimilation could take root.
Today, however, multiculturalism, rather than assimilation, is the official ideology of at least one of our political parties and almost all our elite institutions.
Public schools, which enforced assimilation a century ago, now teach students to celebrate every kind of identity except the traditional American one.

So the democrats ululating that illegals flooding the border = cheap labor -- rather than the obvious "destroys the country" angle -- will continue apace.

40 This has been true for forever, business people, by and large, support cheap labor via immigration and would use slaves if they could avoid the ancillary costs. The bigger the corporation, the bigger the profits from cheap labor. Ironically, the cheap labor also becomes a club to beat on businesses that do not follow that policy as they can produce a product cheaper than their competition and scale makes it even more effective at undercutting the non-cheap labor competition until they are gone.

Should be an immigration tax on employers to counterbalance that with the money to be spent by enabling natives to create small businesses.

but i'm joking, the way things are going there won't be a middle class for these people to move up to.

89 The new "immigrants" and especially illegal immigrants take more out of the economy then they put into it. But hey, you get a cheaper vacation and the local community along with federal taxpayers get the bill.

I'm hoping Congress reforms the tax and federal benefits laws so that businesses pay for any handouts these people receive for them or their families. Oh, and for life.

By the way, inflation isn't going away. It's just hiding for the moment.

90 While the influx of immigrants puts downward pressure on real wages, some business owners see the changes as a net positive.

"A lot of these people are used to subsisting on a spoon full of corn mush or whatever they can dig out of the ground. In America, we can stack them like cordwood in a trailer on the edge of the property and feed them leftovers from the buffet and these dumb bastards think they are shitting in high cotton" said Winston Larrimore Constantine III , owner of the Briarwood Resort and Anal Bleaching Spa on Long Island.

"Useless eaters are a little more tolerable when you don't have to feed them much," Constantine added.

101 I don't believe that is true anymore. Perhaps for stoop labor operations such as hospitality services, gardening and light construction, but certainly not for core wealth building industries such as manufacturing, mining and services.

Energy cost and availability is the #1 determinator of who wins that contest.
Posted by: Reuben Hick
-----------
manufacturing and mining have already automated for the most part due to labor union pressures. Ditto for rail roads. But, most of the current economy is services--restaurants, grocery stores, house cleaning, gardening, medical services, agriculture drudge work, construction, food processing, and so on demand low wage workers and preferably workers that cannot unionize.

Tell me a job that pays low wages and I will tell you those will be what these immigrants will by and large be directed toward.

For a long time, sweat shops held on in LA and NY to create garments in the US for example.

And all ancillary costs for medical, schooling, housing, food, increase housing prices, etc. are borne by the taxpayers for these immigrants. So biz wins by throwing the costs at the general public while concentrating the gains on themselves.

125 Wow, tired of economic illiterates spreading false information about inflation.

Inflation happens when you create more money than the actual economy expands. Money is created by Fractional lending from banks (where they loan the same capital out as much as NINE TIMES, which is paid back from real assets), or by Government Deficits (where the fed creates money to support the Gov).

With us going to a cashless society, if you use a credit card for purchases, as most do, even if you pay off that credit card every month, IT IS A LOAN, and thus created money via Fractional lending.

This is now a systemic issue, that has been created by the Fed Res bank. Fed raising interest rates will NOT FIX THIS... nor with it fix the Government overspending.

Until someone explains this simple shit to the electorate... we are boned.

I love the assumption that the "highly-educated winners of globalization" are uniformly leftists. This actually isn't true. They are definitely majority leftists, but there is much less uniformity within that group than you may think.

I speak from experience on this, to a degree. I am one of those people, and I know it's bullshit and enormously destructive and want to see the domestic economy open up for more people. The destruction of the "productive economy" or the "real economy" is *not* an actual benefit to most people. Some people do well in that environment, but they are eating the seed grain to do it. I am not the only one who sees that, even in the laptop class.

Seriously, has it ever been easier for the "minor-attracted" to have access to their thrill? If you like the boys, just put on a wig and start twerking. Parents will throw their "sons" at you.

If you like girls, just go park yourself in Target.

Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

It was always quite easy. Even before social media and the last decade of child-pimping, if you really wanted underage sex you could easily get it. Too easy. Yes, ultimately you might get caught, but that usually took decades and dozens of victims. There was always -- always -- someone willing to sell underage sex.

They're freer than citizens. Live in a sanctuary city and you'll see it.

Me, the white guy in the well-kept car from a decent county, would get pulled over at the drop of a hat. License plate lamp burned out? Ticket. Three miles over the limit? Ticket. Yell at your wife? DV charge. Fail to shovel the sidewalk by 08:00? Ticket.

The illegal alien, though - or even just somebody who *might* be an illegal alien - faces none of this. He is, you see, *better* than me. He can speed, drive drunk, beat his wife, refuse to carry insurance, shoot guns off in the air - whatever - and face no consequences. To face consequences would mean charges, and some charges might involve ICE, and involving ICE might involve deportation. We can't have that, now can we? So they get to be above the law, while the legal citizens are squeezed left, right and center and put under the boot to pay for it

239 I doubt the vast hordes from the south have much upward mobility. Lack of English is an impediment; the schools are increasingly dysfunctional but credentialism remains the order of the day. Everything has gotten and is getting more expensive. And those are just the obstacles for people who, while here illegally, are basically honest and want to work hard. As someone noted, they're not sending their best. So add in crime and social dusfunction, like pregnancy early, often, and out of wedlock. They're importing an underclass. That's the intention. Because beggars are easier to please. They'll amnesty them and replace less pliable voters.

They're freer than citizens. Live in a sanctuary city and you'll see it.

Me, the white guy in the well-kept car from a decent county, would get pulled over at the drop of a hat. License plate lamp burned out? Ticket. Three miles over the limit? Ticket. Yell at your wife? DV charge. Fail to shovel the sidewalk by 08:00? Ticket.

-----

In this the cops are the same as they ever were.

For, instance, during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, there is a massive cop, sheriff, and highway patrol presence.

Do they pull over bikers!?! Oh heck no. They hassle the locals and write up tickets right and left.

Bikers, however, are left mostly alone unless they actually cause or are otherwise involved in an accident.

Whoever gets preferential treatment varies by locale.

The founding Fathers knew this which is why there is a Bill l of Rights.

@RobertKennedyJr
Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection. But not me.
Typical turnaround time for pro forma protection requests from presidential candidates is 14-days. After 88-days of no response and after several follow-ups by our campaign, the Biden Administration just denied our request. Secretary Mayorkas: "I have determined that Secret Service protection for Robert F Kennedy Jr is not warranted at this time."
Our campaign's request included a 67-page report from the world's leading protection firm, detailing unique and well established security and safety risks aside from commonplace death threats.

There is something called Deadweight Loss, which discusses how higher labor costs make employers loose the less profitable positions/employees. when you have four guys working who make enough to cover their positions and taxes AND Corky's (who is a nice guy but totally not there) it becomes hard to justify keeping Corky on when the wages go up so they other guys are just barely earning their keep.
Most of the positions that are lost are non-essential postions, generally they are "customer experience" postions, like the kid who checks your oil and washes your windshields, or the box boy at the grocery store, both of whom you will never see again.
High end resorts have clientele who expect washroom and spa attendants, which are customer experience posts, not "night clerk and bookeepper" type posts.

Boldly written are the texts they carry, and deep is the hem of their garments; 6 their heart is set on taking the chief places at table and the first seats in the synagogue, and having their hands kissed in the market-place, and being called Rabbi among their fellow men.

Biden will spend the next 10 days at his Rehoboth Beach manse reportedly working on his economic plan. LOL to whoever believes that. He is hiding out and most likely with a gaggle of fellow criminals strategizing on his Hunter problem which will blow up on him.

omg is that what they're saying? 10 days to work on an economic plan after what happened in court 'tother day?

I love this. 10 days of billable hours by Latham & Watkins, 10 days of recriminations and violent tantrums, 10 days of calling Judge Noreika every filthy name in the book and wondering how to get her off the case, all while Secret Service agents look the other way as Hunter's dealer visits.

307 I'm listening to Santana's 1969 self titled album.

I met Carlos when we were both checking into a hotel in Vancouver about 20 years ago. The man was wearing a cape.

There are some men who can wear capes and he is one of them.

IMO, we are already under judgement, and the country is already lost.

Many illegals do not want to assimilate

Assimilate to what?

Can you identify anything that is uniquely American?
Posted by: Reuben Hick

=========

This is easy. They give up the tribalist, socialist b.s. that turned their own countries in to shytholes and get with the American way: work for your living and all men are created equal. NO, you don't vote for someone just because they have an Asian name. Oh, I just admitted something: Many legals don't want to assimilate either.

320 Sometimes you're without honor in your own country
because you have a massive stick up your ass. Not because you're a "prophet."

You can cry in the wilderness all day and all night, and that
does not make you a prophet. It just makes your eyes red.

Every dry alky and ex-drug addict thinks he's a "prophet."
There is a little more to it than that.

321 What makes you think those people weren't sent by God? Just because they don't talk like they're straight out of the King James Bible doesn't mean they're not sending God's messages and warnings.

----------
Generally speaking, it is the leadership, society, and the people that need repentance. Almost all of the biblical prophets were not people holding positions in the government or religion or society but outsiders even society's downtrodden.

322 all while Secret Service agents look the other way as Hunter's dealer visits.
Posted by: Blonde Morticia

Knowing what we know now, the Secret Service agents are probably down for partying with Hunter--strippers, hookers, blow and and booze probably makes for a grand ole house party.

Ole Joe though is probably demanding that they bring him tweens to sniff and fondle.

323 Donald "46%" Trump and his brand have gained only 46% of the vote 4 election cycles in a row (Trump popular vote % in 2016 and 2020 and gop % statewide in swing states in 2018 and trump candidates runing in 2022)

After 2016, with Donald "46%" Trump as our standard bearer, the GOP win-loss record in major statewide elections in the 5 swing states we MUST win back is a dismal 4 wins vs 21 losses.

In 2022, trump candidates running statewide underperformed non- Trump candidates by about 15%
(See AZ Treasurer, GA Gov, NH Gov, OH Gov)like it or not, 15% of America can be persuaded to vote GOP, but WILL NOT VOTE TRUMP

If we non inate Mr. 46% Trump in 2024, WE LOSE. the 5th time will be just like the prior 4... Trump gets 46%

324 Enough of this diversity is strength BS. Its the mantra of failed states everywhere. Name one nation that was diverse that survived three hundred years. Yugoslavia, Russia, Iraq? Empires are not nations in a normal sense held together by military strength rather than bonds of mutually agreed virtues. Austria Hungary, the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Turks all lasted more than three hundred years but all failed. Yet Poland, Japan, Iceland, Ireland have endured for how many centuries?
