Immigration, open US borders: the secret reason
by Jon Rappoport
December 21, 2014
Here is one, rarely spoken, justification for an open border with Mexico: “Well, we’ve done so many bad things to Mexico in the past, the compensation has to be unlimited immigration.”
If that’s the case, then along with opening the border, the US government would naturally stop doing bad things to Mexico now. Right?
A White House that believes in the past guilt of other administrations would, without question, clean up its own act now.
If not, then the whole pose of apology and humanity is a sham and a scam.
So let’s look at a few present facts.
NAFTA. Obama, during his 2008 Presidential campaign, said he would take another look at that treaty. It needed to be reexamined.
Perhaps he did take a subsequent look, down to the left and far away, as he was flying toward Hawaii on one of his vacations.
NAFTA. From The Guardian, 4 Jan. 2014, “NAFTA: 20 years of regret for Mexico,” by Mark Weisbrot:
“The most basic measure of economic progress, especially for a developing country like Mexico, is the growth of income (or GDP) per person. Out of 20 Latin American countries…Mexico ranks 18, with growth of less than 1% annually since 1994 [when NAFTA went into effect].
“Millions of Mexicans were displaced from farming, for example, after being forced into competition with subsidized and high-productivity agribusiness in the United States, thanks to NAFTA’s rules.”
Truthdig.com, Jan. 9, 2014, “After 20 years, NAFTA leaves Mexico’s economy in ruins,” by Sonali Kolhatkar:
“What in fact happened under NAFTA was that heavily subsidized U.S. corn flooded the Mexican market, putting millions of [Mexican] farmers out of work. Multinational corporations opened up factories creating low-wage [Mexican] jobs at the expense of organized labor and the environment. This, in turn, drove waves of migration north.”
Read that last sentence again.
The truthdig piece extensively quotes Manuel Perez-Rocha, “an associate fellow at the institute for Policy Studies”:
“All these new analyses about how Mexico is becoming a more middle-class society [under NAFTA] and able to buy more products from the United States—it’s just baloney.
“Before NAFTA, I still remember how my father would take me to different industries in which Mexico would manufacture its own tractors and buses. We had an industry that was completely dismantled [by NAFTA] to give way to bigger corporations from the United States to use Mexico as an assembly plant for exporting cars back to the United States. And this hasn’t produced the boom of [Mexican] jobs that was promised. So in the end what NAFTA did was destroy the Mexican national industry and destroy a lot of jobs.
“…the devastation of the Mexican countryside and of the livelihoods of farmers to give way to a narco-economy that has inundated Mexico. This has become very evident in the past few years. [Economic devastation; more unemployed workers and farmers, trying to make a living, join the ‘narco-economy.’]
“…there has been an increase in export-oriented agriculture [from Mexico] that relies on fossil fuels, chemicals, genetically modified organisms, and the excessive use of water. There has also been an expansion of environmentally destructive mining activities in Mexico. There’s been more mining in the last 10 years than in the whole colonial period. There have been higher levels of air and water pollution as associated with the growth of the maquiladora factories [relocated US manufacturing operations in a NAFTA ‘free-trade’ Mexican zone]. And there has been a progressive weakening of domestic environmental safeguards and expanded powers to [relocated US] corporations to challenge environmental policies.”
Kolhatkar concludes his devastating article with a statement that leaves no doubt about Obama’s current intentions, vis-à-vis changing the US stance toward Mexico:
“Today, the Obama administration, which did not even acknowledge the 20th anniversary of NAFTA, is eyeing a new, grander trade deal in the image of NAFTA called the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The TPP is a secret deal being negotiated by the Obama administration directly with various nations. Activists have called it ‘NAFTA on Steroids.’ Obama is seeking ‘fast-track authority’ on the deal, whereby elected [US Congressional] representatives would be allowed to vote on only the entire agreement without being party to negotiations over the details. WikiLeaks recently published a leaked draft chapter of the agreement that has confirmed some of the worst suspicions of activists opposing it. One expert called it ‘A Christmas wish list for major corporations.’”
In other words, the idea that open borders are a humane response to, and an apology for, past US transgressions against Mexico is utter and complete fabrication.
Obama, and whoever his successor is, aim to wage economic war against Mexico at a new and higher level.
One of the results, as mentioned above? This will force new waves of immigrants in Mexico to come north, to the US.
Do you see this issue more clearly now? Increased immigration northward was always an expected outcome of NAFTA. And so it will be under the TPP.
This is a succession of Presidents—Clinton, Bush, Obama—pushing for immigration as if were an act of kindness (“give us your huddled masses”), when it was a cold calculated safety-valve solution to enable big US corporations to do business in Mexico and make their profits soar, as they put huge numbers of Mexican workers out in the cold.
The elite strategy? “Don’t leave all those angry unemployed workers at the doors of US corporations in Mexico. Who knows what they might do? Let them come to the US for a better life. We’ll prepare the US population to accept them…”
Of course, as US corporations shuttered their doors in America and moved south to Mexico, US unemployment soared, and so did the US trade deficit.
Cover stories were needed to obscure the naked truth. The 2007-08 economic collapse in the US was used for that purpose.
More directly, the Obama administration simply lied about facts and figures. For example, as Public Citizen has pointed out:
“By counting products made offshore as ‘U.S. exports,’ this scam would hide the devastation of U.S. manufacturing…U.S. firms like Apple that have offshored their production jobs would be reclassified as ‘factoryless goods’ manufacturers. An iPhone made in China and sold in Europe would somehow perversely count as a U.S. manufactured export. This would deceptively deflate the reported U.S. manufacturing trade deficit—and artificially inflate the number of U.S. manufacturing jobs. Apple’s brand managers and programmers would suddenly be counted as ‘manufacturing’ workers!”
And that’s where we are. That’s a central thread of the story behind immigration and open borders. And that, to a significant degree, is the history of the Obama Presidency; a giant scam perpetrated on the American people, causing much, much suffering.
When Obama first took office in 2008, several of his closest advisors expected that his first shot out of the gate would be: creating jobs amid massive American unemployment.
They were shocked when, against their advice, he went for national health insurance.
What they failed to realize was their President had a mission that superseded jobs and employment. He was tasked with protecting the mega-corporations who were benefiting from the free-trade treaties, like NAFTA.
He willingly, and with full knowledge, accepted that covert role.
Massive unemployment in the US? Grotesque consequences for the people of Mexico? Not a problem.
Obama is another in a line of Globalist Presidents. That’s what he was in 2008, and that’s what he is now.
Perhaps some of the people who couldn’t believe the facts I presented over a year ago, when I called Obama Monsanto’s man in Washington, will now begin to understand what is going on.
Monsanto is one more mega-corporation the President is pledged to protect.
Romney? Jeb Bush? Hillary? Elizabeth Warren? They have saluted, and will continue to salute Globalism and free trade and economic devastation, in whatever jobs they may hold, as of 2016.
Those who keep sucking at the left-right political teat, arguing progressive vs. conservative, and elevating their favorite “heroes,” are missing the bigger picture by miles.
They keep congratulating themselves on their ideology, while those heroes of theirs—front men and women for elite crime bosses—bathe in the stench of the Globalist Syndicate.

YES! THANK YOU FOR THIS. Will forward to everyone I know.
Jon, don’t forget all teats, political or otherwise – they’re a sign of dependency~! How many people can truly say they are more independent than dependent?…
Jon, you said –
“Obama is another in a line of Globalist Presidents.”
That’s right and any country that doesn’t “produce” a puppet by the globalists, they’ll put one in place anyway possible, which includes wars, murder etc. The goal of the global syndicate is to control the globe and it can only be done with those in place doing the deeds of the planetary controllers. One cannot analyze any one situation as if it stands alone, especially the politics/ economics because while the blame is seeming out front and open, (oh the tales they tell) the chess moves of the cabal is planned decades in advance. If all countries were equal in that a body could make a sideways shift, living anywhere while maintaining the same lifestyle (whatever that means) then open borders would take away that level of slave mentality. But because the controls are different in every country, who can blame those persons chasing beliefs or dreams of something better someplace else… after all, challenges of a different kind are found no matter the location. In the case of the good ol’ USA (sadistic laugh) the working age population is diminishing and with a debt based pyramid scheme, the economy needs more able bodies working since the US is producing less babies…
Why do people continue wondering why this or that, the way of the world… natural creation has an order, but the disorder of the world is manmade. Us with common sense can see the chaos the controllers create, which has us slaves continuously dancing to their tunes, rarely one of personal choice. The best case scenario for anyone is speaking out against the changes “they’re” trying to implement as well as kicking and screaming the whole way so people take notice to being screwed ever which way. Going along to get along, in the end is a detriment to all. Unfortunately people shoot for immediate satiation, rarely thinking of long term consequences. What comes to mind are the smiles of voters exuberant a so called black man is in the white office… nevermind we don’t know where he came from, most likely a CIA agent (his mother/family was) and he’s fulfilling an executive office for a corporation not a governmental seat (it’s absent). Besides I was never a party to the contracts in place we know of as the constitution…
Stress lowers human immunity more than anything… how one vibrates is the key to the utmost health – whether words spoken or heard, words hurt more than sticks and stones, so a body should choose battles wisely and shut off the boobtube.
@joanie on
Well said J…
They will try the same plan again with the first woman in the white house being…tah dah….none other than the cocaine queen herself hilarious rod name Clinton.
That massive Clinton foundation that suck bucks out of the government will ramp up to mega funds towards it’s eugenics programs and globalist agenda.
Good Grief! And they pretend that all of this is for reparation?
They must be lacking both imagination and logic… and think that we are really stupid.
These globalist U.S. Presidents have destroyed so many countries in the world with their illegal criminal wars, who were in fact, just an excuse to put their puppet leaders in charge of these countries to serve their corporative friends.
Why not then open the borders for all the countries they have destroyed financially? Let’s make America a country of 3 our 4 Billion people.
Why not? Their NWO would be easier to manage.
Their remaining problems would now only be North Korea, Russia, China and Iran, Oh, but wait… they are already working on that.
Bottom Line: It is inappropriate to discuss the actual intent/objective behind the adopted immigration policies of western nations.
My bottom line argument in the NAFTA debate (in Canada) was, who will buy the cheap goods the corporations are making once all the manufacturing jobs leave (and people who should know better were horrified at the thought of someone actually saying something positive about real “get your hands dirty” work)?
Nothing has changed.
Thanks Jon for putting all of this in the right perspective. There has been so much camouflage strung out there by the US government in an attempt to blind the people of what is “really” happening that we need to remember the facts, what Jon is saying here.
This is nothing more than the Illuminati tightening their control over every government, man woman and child on the planet. They have everyone’s money and now they aim to have total control thereby assuring this will never ever change!
It is important to remember that these evil nut cases believe that they are divine within the rights of Lucifer and that they reincarnate back within their bloodlines making them immortal some how.
They have gone out of their way to corrupt the Catholic church and pit religion against religion in order to discredit the bible and turn people away from the truth about these times. They have even committed fraud as is evident by the Smithsonian recent report concerning giant skeleton’s found in the 10’s of thousands across America. Anything they can to prove we evolved from monkeys! I don’t know about you but my family evolved from God as is written in the last true book out there. You might try taking a peek at it as it has predicted these times and the only thing left is for the Anti-Christ to reveal itself.
Love and light of truth my friends…..mike
Mike…the last true book although it is poetic art…never the less it is a work of fiction created by the catholic religion. And the church has been corrupt since the start. Its very makeup is HIStory. Not hers. And the purpose of religion is to quell individualism, and the imagination and ultimately destroy the privacy of the mind. It is a blueprint for the domination of spirit. And thus silence is no longer golden, but embroiled in fear, prejudice, delusion and the constant yakking of psychotic ego. I am not sure if we capable anymore of seeing real truth. Religion is not the end of the search, but simply a door we walk through and discovery other levels of consciousness.
Peace
Thank you Jon! Great Article. Reblogged your piece in German at: wp.me/p5gE0B-3g
Yep. And so it goes. Slaves here and slaves there, and a common man’s hope martyred everywhere, led to the pyre by capital. It’s real owners, that is. The ones that get away with nuclear bombings here and abroad, and whose main agent provacateur of terror is a country. Any questions? See Gordon Duff’s speech in Syria. Cat, bag, out. ‘Bout time.
On the brighter side….Mexico is now the fattest nation in the world, surpassing the US last year, so the good news is they are well prepared for a famine and/or ice age should one begin before they die of heart disease and/or cancer.
Statistically, Mexican’s will actually lose weight by crossing the border now. Extra bonus!
Wow, eye-opening article. The world is well on it’s way to being remade in the image of the corporation for sure — large system management replacing individual and community life, everything and everyone uniform and predictable and, of course, profits over people. It seems to be happening unimpeded now, at all levels and in all areas of society. Articles like this serve to shake us out of the trance and, who knows, maybe people will start taking individual actions in their daily lives to help turn things around; short of ‘divine intervention’ it may be the only option we have.
Re Immigration. If say or do nothing about this criminal third world invasion, you are part of the problem. Keep in contact with your elected reps; consistently go to the polls and vote against the true enemy of the white race: the Democratic Party; do your gardening, don’t eat out and do your own laundry; go to numbersusa and join other organization that advocate a reduction in immigration. Make no mistake, this third world assault is a form of genocide against America’s white.

“I think there’s a resurgence of anti-Semitism because at this point in time Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural, and I think we’re gonna be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies that they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the center of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode, and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role, and without that transformation, Europe will not survive.”
-Barbara Spectre (Israeli TV 2010)
“We will openly reveal our identity with the races of
Asia and Africa. I can state with assurance that the last generation of white children is now being born. Our Control Commissions will, in the interests of peace and wiping out inter- racial tensions forbid the
Whites to mate with Whites. The White Women must cohabit with members of the dark races, the White Men with black women.Thus the White Race will disappear, for the mixing of the dark with the White means the
end of the White Man, and our most dangerous enemy will become only a memory. We shall embark upon an era of ten thousand years of peace and plenty, the Pax Judaica, and our race will rule undisputed
over the world. Our superior intelligence will easily enable us to retain mastery over a world of dark peoples.”
-Rabbi Rabbinovitch
“You have not begun to appreciate the real depth of our guilt. We are intruders. We are disturbers. We are subverters. We have taken your natural world, your ideals, your destiny, and played havoc with them. We have been at the bottom not merely of the latest great war but of nearly all your wars, not only of the Russian but of every other major revolution in your history. We have brought discord and confusion and frustration into your personal and public life. We are still doing it. No one can tell how long we shall go on doing it.”
– Marcus Eli Ravage, a Jewish author, quote from January 1928 issue of Century Magazine
Immigrants to US are fleeing into a gilded cage. Population control will be easier for the elite because immigrants will be subjected to thousands of laws controlling their economic and social behavior and will be subjected to existing and increasing regimens of birth control, chemically modified foods that make you sick and reduce fertility, and fluoridated water that lowers IQ. Lowered populations in south and Central America will make it easier for corporations to steal and deplete natural resources in the displaced peoples indigenous habitat. Welcome to the US police state.

No need to worry. The U.S. people can cheer – israeli firm to build towers on south border.
here’s intro text to the article:
Israeli defense firm Elbit has been awarded a $145 million contract by the US Department of Homeland Security to construct a series of surveillance towers on Arizona’s border with Mexico, the company announced on Sunday.
The project, called Integrated Fixed Tower Project (IFT), plans to see security posts equipped with radars and cameras that can detect human movement spring up along the American state’s southern frontier. The work is to be carried out by Elbit’s US subsidiary, Elbit Systems of America, which is based at Fort Worth, Texas.
Construction of the towers will take around a year, the company said. It declined to provide further details.
Last week, Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona, released a statement welcoming the contract.

are we all in gaza now?
Jon, you nailed it, in my opinion. Me and the buddies I have who like to talk politics, have come to the identical conclusion you have on this whole illegal immigration phenomenon. The elite want OPEN BORDERS and OPEN BORDERS, they shall have–barring the miracle that Main Street U.S.A.”s workers and families, might wake up one day and actually reisist full force the OPEN BORDERS ELITE. PEACE
Good post, Jon
I am wondering how ISIS and the so-called drug wars connects with the immigration scam?
Best
OT
I am not surprised that this is the case. washington is hiding behind the curtain. they actual are owners or major share holders of these corp. Corp are gov entities.
We have all been corportized against our will. Hence we are considered children corp. hence why they make us pay income taxes on non income. why you need permission to improve/use your own proprty and why you need a drivers license for non commercial traveling and why we are forced to pay other peoples (or carry) loads as opposed to helping with their burdens voluntarily. stores accept fiat money (these appear to be company credits or tokens) and costs for housing with regulation as a tax are high due to costs of compliance. hence we have regressed to the past with company stores and company towns. regionalism gives me the feeling that the world is being divided up mafia family style among the super rich families like gangs who hold a terf they guard you think?
