I pay fairly close attention to the 2020 campaign news and especially when it comes to the Dem candidate’s plans for immigration should they regain the White House.
But, I think it’s odd that with all the other news about Michael Bloomberg, there is little mentioned about his now decade-long plan to increase immigration as seen in his National Partnership for a New American Economy.
I told you all about it here last November, but I have been writing about it off and on for years.
Now I see that there is a short piece at Bloomberg news briefly summarizing his immigration plans.
But, strangely, no mention of his organization that has been gradually softening up mayors by handing out grant money and praising elected officials for a decade through his New American Economy network.
Michael Bloomberg Unveils Plan for ‘Broken’ Immigration System
Michael Bloomberg proposed an immigration plan similar to proposals from his moderate [LOL!] Democratic presidential rivals that includes reversing President Donald Trump’s policies, creating a path to U.S. citizenship for undocumented residents and allowing “place-based” visas.
Bloomberg’s plan contains many of the same elements as those offered by Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg. They include rescinding Trump’s travel ban, ending family separations at the border, protecting so-called dreamers — young adults who were brought illegally to the U.S. as children — as well as increasing the cap on resettling refugees and updating the asylum process.
The former New York mayor does not go as far as progressive rivals Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who would decriminalize migration.

Bloomberg would expand temporary worker visas to address labor shortages and allow certain localities to petition for “place-based” immigrant visas to meet economic or social needs in their communities.
For regular readers of ‘Frauds and Crooks‘ this should give you a chuckle….
He would also allow more opportunities for foreign-born doctors, nurses and other health professionals to address the shortage of health-care workers in under-served areas.
And, now see his platform that includes increasing refugee admissions to 125,000 per year! (Trump’s is presently set at 18,000.)
End policies that run counter to our deepest values as Americans
Mike will rescind President Trump’s disgraceful travel ban, end family separations at the border, establish rigorous safeguards for children, and promote alternatives to detention for individuals and families who pose no threat to public safety. Mike will set the annual refugee resettlement target at 125,000 and also restore fairness and timeliness to the asylum process. And he will honor and protect immigrant service members, veterans and their families.
[….]
Mike will create a federal Office of New Americans to support the integration of newcomers….

Divorce of some cities and states from the Union suddenly appear an attractive proposition. Strong borders around them, they can import who or what they want.No federal aid, though.
See this story:
‘It’s Over: Michael Bloomberg Told New Mom To Find ‘Some Black’ For A Nanny’
This story and more like it says it all..
And one of the Montana Candidates for Governor, Greg Giantforte, is part of the same team!
When will we wake up!
Kind of getting it from both sides with Republicans saying the job picture is so great that we need thousands of immigrants to fill all the vacancies.
No doubt, the Chamber of Commerce types that are Republican want the labor, and so do the Dems. The low wage laborers will vote for the Ds. In he middle are the rest of the “deplorable” Americans getting hosed.
The support for illegal immigration into the United States of America by Democrats like Bloomberg Biden Nancy Pelosi Buttigieg and many others is betrayal for the law-abiding citizens of the United States of America and the great Armed Forces of the United States of America
