Laura Ingraham: This promise reshapes American politics

[0:00] FIRST MEANS FIRST, THAT'S THE [0:02] FOCUS OF TONIGHT'S ANGLE. [0:05] IT'S A PROMISE THAT RESHAPED [0:07] AMERICAN POLITICS. [0:08] I WILL SHARE WITH YOU MY PLAN [0:12] FOR ACTION FOR AMERICA. [0:14] OUR PLAN WILL PUT AMERICA FIRST. [0:17] DURING EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE [0:20] TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, I WILL [0:23] VERY SIMPLY PUT AMERICA FIRST. [0:26] AMERICA FIRST SPEAKS TO THE [0:29] DEMORALIZED AND DISAFFECTIVE. [0:31] THE DEMORALIZED AND DISAFFECTIVE. [0:33] THE DEMORALIZED AND DISAFFECTIVE. [0:36] THE DEMORALIZED AND DISAFFECTIVE. [0:38] THE DEMORALIZED AND DISAFFECTIVE. [0:40] THE DECADES LONG BIPARTISAN [0:43] COLLUSION AGAINST THE AMERICAN [0:44] PEOPLE MADE AMERICA FIRST THE [0:46] PERFECT PITCH. [0:47] IT HELPED TRUMP BEAT THE [0:49] CLINTONS, THE OBAMAS, THE BIDENS, [0:53] THE BUSHES, HOLLYWOOD, THE FAKE [0:56] NEWS MEDIA, THE THINK TANK [0:58] CROWD, THE ACADEMIC ELITES AND [1:01] DISAFFECTIVE. [1:02] THE DISAFFECTIVE. [1:03] THE DISAFFECTIVE. [1:04] THE DISAFFECTIVE. [1:05] THE DISAFFECTIVE. [1:06] IT MEANS AMERICA, HER FAMILIES, [1:08] HER PEOPLE, AND HER WORKERS COME [1:10] FIRST. [1:11] WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HOUSE THIS [1:13] WEEK SUGGESTS THAT SOME [1:15] REPUBLICANS STILL REFUSE TO GET [1:16] IT. [1:17] الذING TO BE AT THE HOUSE THIS [1:20] IN THE HOUSE POIS IT WAS AT THE [1:22] heiten' removements 24% TO 204% TO [1:24] EXTEND TEMPORARY PROTECTED [1:26] STATUS TO 350,000 HAITIANS, MANY [1:28] OF THEM LIVING HERE SINCE THE [1:30] YEAR 2010, AFTER THAT HORRIBLE [1:33] EARTHQUAKE THAT DEVASTATED THE [1:34] ISLAND. [1:35] BUT WHAT SHOULD REALLY BURN YOU [1:37] UP, AS MY LIGHT MOTHER WOULD [1:39] DEMOCRATS, THE DEMOCRATS, THE [1:41] DEMOCRATS, THE DEMOCRATS, THE [1:43] DEMOCRATS, THE DEMOCRATS, WHO [1:45] CAUCUSES WITH THEM, JOINED THE [1:48] OPEN BORDERS DEMOCRATS TO PASS [1:50] THIS. [1:51] REMEMBER THESE NAMES. [1:53] MIKE LAWLER, MARIA SALAZAR, OF [1:56] COURSE, DON BACON RETIRING, [1:58] BRIAN FITZPATRICK, CARLOS [2:00] GIMENEZ, NICOLE MALIOTAKIS, [2:02] MARIO DIAZ-BALART, RICH [2:05] MCCORMICK, MIKE TURNER, MIKE [2:08] CARRIE AND KEVIN KILLEY. [2:10] HOW DO THEY JUSTIFY THIS [2:12] DEMOCRATS? [2:14] THE DEMOCRATS, THE DEMOCRATS, [2:16] THE DEMOCRATS, THE IMMIGRANTS [2:18] TO THEIR HOME COUNTRY, WHICH THE [2:20] STATUTE UNDERNEATH CLEARLY [2:23] CONTEMPLATES, IS NOT [2:24] COMPASSIONATE. [2:25] IT'S SICKENING TO THINK MY [2:27] HAITIAN FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS [2:28] CAN BE SENT BACK THERE. [2:30] ENROLLED IN TPS SO THAT THEY [2:33] COULD PAY TAXES, SUPPORT THEIR [2:35] FAMILIES, AND EDUCATE THEIR [2:36] CHILDREN. [2:37] AND THAT'S ALWAYS [2:40] FOLLOWED BY THE FAKE WORKER [2:42] SHORTAGE ARGUMENT. [2:43] IT'S BAD. [2:44] IT'S SIX BM zu [2:49] PAY TAXES AND TOO MUCH OF THE [2:51] FASHION. [2:51] AND THATשRIBES HER [2:52] CONSTITUENTS. [2:53] I HAVE A LOT OF HEALTHCARE [2:55] WORKERS IN MY DISTRICT THAT ARE [2:57] OF HAITIAN DISSENTIFICANT, THAT [2:58] ARE ON TPS. [2:59] AND MY NURSING HOMES, MY [3:00] HEALTHCARE FACILITIES HAVE SAID [3:01] THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE HERE PAYING [3:04] TAXES, WORKING, CONTRIBUTING TO [3:06] OUR ECONOMY, FULFILLING A HEALTH [3:08] CARE NEED, THEN THEIR STATUS [3:10] SHOULD BE EXTENDED. [3:11] OKAY. [3:12] FIRST OF ALL, THOSE WORKERS ARE [3:16] NOT HER CONSTITUENTS. [3:17] THEY CAN'T EVEN VOTE. [3:19] SECOND, THE STATUTE'S PROTECTION [3:21] RELATES TO THE CONDITIONS IN THE [3:23] FOREIGNERS' HOME COUNTRY, NOT [3:25] SUPPOSED ECONOMIC CONDITIONS HERE. [3:27] AND THIRD, THE WORKER SHORTAGE [3:30] ARGUMENT IS FALSE AND IT'S [3:32] TYPICAL, YOU ALWAYS HEAR IT FROM [3:34] THE CHEAP LABOR LOBBY. [3:35] MORE NURSING HOMES ARE OWNED TODAY [3:38] BY PRIVATE EQUITY THAN EVER BEFORE. [3:40] THE CONVALESCENT HOMES, OF COURSE [3:42] THEY SERVE A REALLY IMPORTANT [3:44] PURPOSE, BUT THE MORE THEY CUT [3:46] COSTS, INCLUDING LABOR COSTS, [3:48] THE MORE PROFITS THEY RAKE IN. [3:50] SO IF YOU BELIEVE MARKET [3:53] ECONOMICS, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT IF [3:55] THERE WERE TRULY A WIDESPREAD [3:57] LABOR SHORTAGE IN THESE HEALTH [3:58] SECTORS, THE BASIC ECONOMIC [4:00] SIGNAL WOULD BE RISING WAGES. [4:02] BECAUSE THE TRUE LABOR CRUNCH [4:04] MEANS THAT MORE EMPLOYERS ARE [4:05] COMPETING FOR FEWER SPOTS, WHICH [4:07] THEN MEANS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE [4:09] TO OFFER HIGHER WAGES TO GET [4:11] THOSE FEWER EMPLOYEES. [4:12] INSTEAD, HERE'S WHAT THE ACTUAL [4:14] PAY LOOKS LIKE ACROSS MANY OF [4:16] THESE ROLES. [4:17] LOOK AT THIS. [4:18] 29 BUCKS AN HOUR FOR LICENSED [4:20] PRACTICAL AND LICENSED [4:21] VOCATIONAL NURSES. [4:22] ONLY $16 AN HOUR FOR HOME [4:24] HEALTH AIDES, NURSING ASSISTANTS, [4:25] ORDERLY 18, 19 BUCKS AN HOUR. [4:27] THERE HAVE BEEN SOME MODEST [4:29] INCREASES OVER THE YEARS FOR [4:32] THESE JOBS, BUT IT'S PRETTY [4:33] BRUTAL. [4:34] AND NOTHING CLOSE TO WHAT THESE [4:36] NUMBERS WOULD LOOK LIKE IF WE [4:38] WERE TRULY LOOKING AT A TIGHT [4:39] LABOR MARKET. [4:40] NOW THE SHORTAGE LOOKS A LOT [4:43] MORE LIKE A RELUCTANCE ON THE [4:45] PART OF CORPORATE AMERICA TO [4:47] RAISE PAY AND INVEST IN AMERICAN [4:50] WORKERS. [4:51] PAY HIGHER WAGES. [4:52] BE MINDFUL OF JOB BURNOUT [4:53] CONDITIONS AND IT'S BURNOUT [4:55] IN A LOT OF THESE SECTORS AND [4:57] YOU WILL HAVE A MUCH BIGGER POOL [5:00] OF NATIVE-BORN APPLICANTS. [5:01] IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER [5:04] THAT THE PROGRAM AT THE CENTER [5:05] OF THIS DEBATE, AGAIN, THE [5:07] TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS OR [5:08] TPS, WAS CREATED BACK IN 1990 [5:10] AS A SHORT-TERM HUMANITARIAN [5:12] TOOL FOR EXTRAORDINARY [5:14] CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS ANOTHER [5:16] NATION'S ARMED CONFLICT OR TRUE [5:19] NATURAL DISASTERS. [5:20] THE DHS SECRETARY HAS THE [5:22] AUTHORITY TO DECLARE THE [5:24] COUNTRIES ELIGIBLE FOR THIS TPS [5:26] RELIEF SO EL SALVADOR WAS THE [5:28] FIRST COUNTRY TO BENEFIT. [5:31] BUT IN PRACTICE IT'S TURNED OUT [5:33] TO BE DEFACTO PERMANENT AMNESTY. [5:35] IN THE CASE OF THE HAITIANS, THE [5:37] TPS BENEFIT HAS ALREADY BEEN [5:39] GIVEN EXTENDED THREE TIMES. [5:41] IT IS A TOTAL SCAM AT THIS [5:43] POINT. [5:45] AND DURING THAT SAME PERIOD THE [5:47] UNITED STATES HAS PROVIDED [5:49] BILLIONS IN AID TO HELP HAITI. [5:51] SO THE OBVIOUS QUESTION BECOMES [5:53] THIS. [5:54] SINCE TPS HAS BEEN TREATED AS [5:56] PERMANENT, WHY ISN'T IT BEING [5:59] DEBATED AS SUCH? [6:00] THE TPS PROGRAM ITSELF HAS BEEN [6:02] A MAGNET FOR MORE MIGRANTS TO [6:04] COME IN IN HOPES OF FUTURE [6:06] EXTENSIONS. [6:07] THAT IS THE TPS OF MIGRANTS [6:13] FROM MANY COUNTRIES INCLUDING [6:14] HAITI. [6:15] WE GOT AN EXCLUSIVE BOAT [6:17] RIDE OUT ONTO THE RIO GRANDE [6:18] TODAY WHERE WE GOT TO WITNESS [6:20] LITERALLY ALL DAY LONG A [6:22] CONSTANT MASS OF MIGRANTS JUST [6:23] STREAMING ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE [6:24] AND ENTERING THE UNITED STATES [6:25] ILLEGALLY. [6:26] THEY WALK DOWN FROM THE [6:27] NEIGHBORHOOD IN CILARACUNA, [6:28] MEXICO. [6:29] THEY WALK ACROSS THE DAM IN THE [6:30] COUNTRY. [6:31] SOME OF THEM BATHED IN THE [6:32] WATER. [6:33] THEY CHANGED THEIR CLOTHES. [6:35] THAT ENCAMPMENT GREW TO MORE [6:38] THAN 15,000 PEOPLE. [6:39] AND ACCORDING TO REPORTING MANY [6:40] HAVE BEEN LIVING IN OTHER [6:41] COUNTRIES BEFORE MAKING THEIR [6:42] WAY TO THE UNITED STATES. [6:43] SO DOCUMENTS WERE FOUND [6:44] DISCARDED SUGGESTING THEY WERE [6:45] PREPPING FOR FAKE ASYLUM [6:46] CLAIMS. [6:47] AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS MORE THAN [6:49] 12,000 WERE RELEASED INTO THE [6:50] UNITED STATES. [6:51] THEN FAST FORWARD TO TODAY AND [6:52] POLICYMAKERS ARE VOTING TO [6:54] EXTEND PROTECTIONS FOR MANY OF [6:56] THE SAME PEOPLE. [6:57] MEANWHILE, AT A LOCAL LEVEL, A [7:00] HUGE CONTROVERSY IS SWIRLING [7:02] ABOUT THE BENEFITS THAT ARE [7:04] BEING DULLED OUT TO MIGRANTS [7:05] ONCE THEY ARE HERE, INCLUDING [7:07] APPARENTLY GENDER TRANSITION [7:09] SURGERY. [7:10] A LOT OF LATINO HERE. [7:12] SO DEFINITELY SOME ARE [7:14] MIGRANTS OR UNDOCUMENTED. [7:15] I FEEL SAFE. [7:17] WERE YOU ABLE TO GET THE [7:19] HORMONES OR, YOU KNOW? [7:21] YEAH, I SEE THAT WITH MY [7:23] DOCTOR. [7:26] HERE IN CALIFORNIA, THEY GIVE [7:28] YOU THE BREAST IMPLANT HERE? [7:30] YES. [7:31] FREE? [7:32] YEAH. [7:33] EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T, YOU [7:36] ARE UNDOCUMENTED, YOU CAN GET [7:37] IT. [7:38] AND IN BOSTON, MAYOR WU [7:40] TAKES WOKE TO A WHOLE NEW [7:42] LEVEL WITH HER $500 VOUCHERS FOR [7:45] THINGS LIKE MASSAGES, HAIRCUTS [7:47] FOR MIGRANTS WHO IDENTIFY AS [7:49] QUEER OR TRANS. [7:51] THIS IS A CITY ITSELF FACES A [7:53] SIGNIFICANT BUDGET SHORTFALL. [7:55] NOW, ZOOM OUT, BECAUSE TPS IS [7:57] JUST ONE PIECE OF A MUCH LARGER [7:59] POLICY LANDSCAPE. [8:00] THERE'S ALSO SUSTAINED LOBBYING [8:02] GOING ON FOR OTHER VISA PROGRAMS [8:04] TO EXPAND, PARTICULARLY IN THE [8:06] SUPPOSEDLY HIGH-SKILLED SECTORS. [8:07] BUT OVERWHELMINGLY, WHEN THEY [8:10] SAY HIGH-SKILLED, THERE REALLY [8:12] ARE NO SPECIAL SKILLS INVOLVED [8:13] UNLESS ACCEPTING 30% PAY CUTS [8:15] FROM WHAT AMERICAN WORKERS WERE [8:17] PAID QUALIFIES AS A SKILL. [8:18] YOU HAVE A SENATE PRIMARY GOING [8:20] ON RIGHT NOW. [8:21] THIS IS WHAT I SAY ABOUT GETTING [8:23] MORE INVOLVED. [8:24] EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU SHOULD [8:25] ASK THOSE CANDIDATES, WHAT DO [8:27] YOU THINK ABOUT THE H-1B VISA? [8:29] WOULD YOU CO-SPONSOR THE VICE [8:31] PRESIDENT, FORMER SENATORS [8:32] LEGISLATION TO ELIMINATE THAT [8:33] PROGRAM BECAUSE IT'S BASICALLY [8:34] JUST SOMETHING THAT BIG TECH [8:35] COMPANIES TAKE ADVANTAGE OF. [8:36] THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU [8:38] GUYS HAVE TO DO BECAUSE I CAN'T [8:40] KEEP THESE POLITICIANS HONEST [8:41] BY MYSELF. [8:42] I NEED YOUR HELP. [8:43] IN MANY HIGH-TECH SECTORS, THE [8:47] LOOMING MESSAGE TO AMERICAN [8:49] WORKERS IS THIS, PREPARE TO [8:51] TRAIN YOUR FOREIGN REPLACEMENT. [8:52] THIS JUST HAPPENED TO MY VERY [8:54] CLOSE HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND. [8:55] SHE IS ON THE FIELD HOCKEY [8:57] TEAM WITH ME. [8:58] SHE TEXTED ME AND SAID SHE JUST [9:00] LOST A CONSULTING CONTRACT TO [9:02] AN INDIAN NATIONAL WHOM HER [9:04] COMPANY FOUND THROUGH AN INDIAN [9:05] PLACEMENT COMPANY. [9:06] SHE SAID THIS WILL KEEP [9:08] HAPPENING UNTIL EVENTUALLY [9:09] AMERICANS JUST STOP APPLYING [9:11] FOR THESE TYPES OF SOFTWARE [9:13] CONSULTING JOBS ALTOGETHER. [9:16] SO THE QUESTION FOR LAWMAKERS [9:18] TONIGHT, ESPECIALLY REPUBLICANS, [9:20] IS STRAIGHTFORWARD. [9:21] WILL POLICIES THAT THEY ENACT INTO [9:24] LAW ACTUALLY ADDRESS THE [9:26] INTEREST OF AMERICAN WORKERS OR [9:28] WILL THEY ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF [9:30] UNSCREPULOUS INDUSTRIES THAT [9:32] WANT A NEW CLASS OF SLAVES TO [9:34] OVERWORK AND BE UNDERPAID? [9:36] THE ANSWER WILL DETERMINE THE [9:38] FATE OF THE MIDTERMS AND BEYOND. [9:40] YOUNG WORKERS ARE LOOKING FOR A [9:42] DECENT SHOT AT A PRODUCTIVE AND [9:43] HAPPY FUTURE. [9:44] OLDER VOTERS, I THINK THEY JUST [9:46] WANT THINGS TO CALM DOWN. [9:47] THE PRESIDENT HAS ALREADY BEEN [9:49] MASTERFUL AT STOPPING THE FLOOD [9:50] OF ASYLEES AT THE BORDER. [9:51] NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO [9:53] UNDERMINE THAT PROGRESS WITH [9:55] BACKDOOR AMNESTIES OR VISA [9:56] EXPANSIONS. [9:57] THE PRINCIPLE, MY FRIENDS, IS [10:01] SIMPLE. [10:02] TEMPORARY SHOULD MEAN TEMPORARY, [10:04] AND AMERICA FIRST SHOULD MEAN [10:06] AMERICANS FIRST. [10:08] AND THAT'S THE ANGLE.
