The Fierce Urgency of Repatriating TPS Migrants-Jobs and Robots

TPS- Temporary Protected Status  is a temporary status given to eligible nationals of designated countries who are present in the United States. 

TPS meant that citizens from Third World nations, which could not cope with war or disaster were allowed to stay and work in the United States.

Last week, in  vulgar language, President Trump shattered the euphemism of Third World Nations, drawing attention to this immigration program.

The following nations are protected under TPS-

El Salvador (earthquake)since 2001, protecting 263,280 Salvadorians.

Haiti-(earthquake)since 2010, protecting 58,700 Haitians

Honduras(1998 hurricane),Nepal (2015 Earthquake), Nicaragua(1998 hurricane),Somalia(2012 Somali civil war),South Sudan(2016, civil war),Sudan(2013, civil war), Syria( 2012, civil war), and Yemen(2015, civil war).

President Trump indiscreetly disparaged Haitians living in America under TPS, and has advocated for their repatriation to Haiti.

Liberals and Globalists took umbrage at President Trump’s indelicacy, and said that after eight years Haiti was still not sufficiently recovered to accept back  its expatriates living in America.

This Blogger finds that claim stunning.

“What Does Haiti Have to Show for $13 Billion in Earthquake Aid?...NBCNEWS”

13 billion dollars in aid, and Haiti is still not sufficiently recovered? Is it America’s fault that Haiti cannot figure out how to rebuild? Perhaps Haiti is deficient in rebuilding because all the talented Haitians abandoned their nation in its time of need to flock to America.

This Blogger believes that there is a fierce urgency to repatriate Haitians protected under TPS, whether Haiti is ready for them or not. That urgency is that TPS Haitians are taking American jobs away from Americans, particularly American blacks.

“They clean federal office buildings in Washington and nurse older people in Boston. They are rebuilding hurricane-wrecked Houston. (building)The Atlanta Falcons’ new stadium, plumbing and heating systems at Fannie Mae’s new headquarters, the porterhouse at Peter Luger Steak House and even the Disney World experience have all depended, in small part or large, on their labor.

They are the immigrants from Haiti and Central America who have staked their livelihoods on the temporary permission they received years ago from the government to live and work in the United States. Hundreds of thousands now stand to lose that status under the Trump administration, which said on Monday that roughly 200,000 immigrants from El Salvador would have to leave by September 2019 or face deportation.

Even if they remain here illegally, they, like the young immigrants known as Dreamers whose status is also in jeopardy this winter, will lose their work permits, potentially scratching more than a million people from the legal work force in a matter of months. And the American companies that employ them will be forced to look elsewhere for labor, if they can get it at all.

“If you get rid of 26 percent of my employees, I guess I’m going to have to terminate some of the contracts,” said Victor Moran, 52, the chief executive of Total Quality, a janitorial services company in the Washington area — “unless I’m willing to break the law,” which he said he was not. The company employs 228 people with temporary protected status, or T.P.S., all but a handful from El Salvador.

…..The Trump administration has emphasized that the permissions were originally granted because of wars and natural disasters in the immigrants’ home countries and intended to last only until conditions there improved. But in reality, their permissions have been extended so long that they have become indefinite residents, often buying homes and raising American-born children, even though their status offers no path to citizenship.

They, like other unauthorized immigrants, have become indispensable parts of certain industries, taking jobs that employers say no one else will and that immigration restrictionists say could attract Americans if companies were willing to pay more.

“T.P.S. does not exist for the convenience of industries that rely on low-wage foreign labor,” said Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform…… 45,000 Haitians will have to leave by July 2019…..Construction companies already confronting a nationwide labor shortage will have to replace workers from what industry executives said was a minuscule pool, or turn down projects.

“There are no Americans out there to take the jobs,” said Mark Drury, a vice president at Shapiro & Duncan, a Washington-area plumbing, heating and cooling firm. The company and its competitors have resorted to poaching each other’s project managers, engineers, welders and plumbers…..Not only will the company have to lay off its 14 Salvadoran workers, Mr. Drury said, but it was also worrying about the roughly 30 employees who are protected from deportation by virtue of a government program for immigrants who were brought to the country illegally as children. The Trump administration has announced that the program, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, will expire in March…… Drury, who said he had about 40 openings.

 The company — which is helping to build a cancer center, the new headquarters of the mortgage giant Fannie Mae and a project at the headquarters of the National Security Agency — was already turning away work because it could not hire fast enough, he said……

For Stan Marek, the chief executive of Marek, a Houston-based construction company, the decisions to end temporary protections have come at the worst possible time. Houston is waiting to be rebuilt after Hurricane Harvey, yet, he said, there will be fewer people than ever to overhaul the city’s office buildings, schools, hotels and hospitals…..About 30 employees from Honduras, Haiti and El Salvador with temporary protected status have worked for him for over a decade. Some are skilled craftsmen; some are supervisors…..Mr. Marek has pushed on his workers’ behalf, even paying for a public-relations campaign to call for immigration reform…..

…..Mr. Moran, the janitorial services executive, had been worried about the impending cancellation of the program. His staff cleans buildings throughout the Washington area, including the headquarters of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency that would be responsible for deporting his workers, and the offices of the special prosecutor, Robert S. Mueller III.

…………………His affiliates were already shaken once, in November, when the Trump administration announced it would rescind protected status for Haitians, who make up a majority of the staff in some facilities in the Boston area. Salvadorans with protected status make up an even larger proportion of the members’ work force, he said.

Before the November decision, the Walt Disney Company announced that it, too, supported an extension: It said Disney World employed more than 500 protected Haitians…..NEW YORK TIMES.”

Washington D.C. is 49%  black Americans ,

“The African American unemployment rate in Washington, D.C. is 13.6 percent — higher than in any state in the country….HUFF POST.”

Among young black Americans between the ages of 20 -24, the unemployment rate, according to the Brookings Institute is 40%....40 PERCENT.

Yet Globalists are telling America that they cannot find young black Americans to work in janitorial services cleaning federal buildings in the nation’s capital….or DISNEY WORLD. Hogwash.

Young black American males, who cannot dribble or run fast enough to man a Cover 2 defense are desperate to learn a trade, plumbing, air conditioning; they are hungry for entry level jobs…..their way to that employment salvation is blocked by TPS migrants.

There is, should be a fierce urgency to repatriate the TPS migrants, so that unskilled black workers have a chance to live the American Dream; the Dream for which their ancestors were lynched for trying to achieve.

Astute Futurists understand that there is a fierce urgency to cull the American work force before the coming of A.I., Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and ROBOTS.

“It is not just Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Stephen Hawkingwho are freaking out about the rise of invincible machines…..You do not exactly need to be Marty McFly to see the obvious threats to our children’s future careers…..

Say you dream of sending your daughter off to Yale School of Medicine to become a radiologist. And why not? Radiologists in New York typically earn about $470,000, according to Salary.com….. that job is suddenly looking iffy as A.I. gets better at reading scans. A start-up called Arterys, to cite just one example, already has a program that can perform a magnetic-resonance imaging analysis of blood flow through a heart in just 15 seconds, compared with the 45 minutes required by humans.

Maybe she wants to be a surgeon, but that job may not be safe, either. Robots already assist surgeons in removing damaged organs and cancerous tissue, according to Scientific American. Last year, a prototype robotic surgeon called STAR (Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot) outperformed human surgeons in a test in which both had to repair the severed intestine of a live pig.

So perhaps your daughter detours to law school to become a rainmaking corporate lawyer. Skies are cloudy in that profession, too. Any legal job that involves lots of mundane document review (and that’s a lot of what lawyers do) is vulnerable.

Software programs are already being used by companies including JPMorgan Chase & Company to scan legal papers and predict what documents are relevant, saving lots of billable hours. Kira Systems, for example, has reportedly cut the time that some lawyers need to review contracts by 20 to 60 percent……… The Associated Press already has used a software program from a company called Automated Insights to churn out passable copy covering Wall Street earnings and some college sports, and last year awarded the bots the minor league baseball beat.

What about other glamour jobs, like airline pilot? Well, last spring, a robotic co-pilot developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, known as Darpa, flew and landed a simulated 737. I hardly count that as surprising, given that pilots of commercial Boeing 777s, according to one 2015 survey, only spend seven minutes during an average flight actually flying the thing. As we move into the era of driverless cars, can pilotless planes be far behind?

Then there is Wall Street, where robots are already doing their best to shove Gordon Gekko out of his corner office. Big banks are using software programs that can suggest bets, construct hedges and act as robo-economists, using natural language processing to parse central bank commentary to predict monetary policy, according to Bloomberg. BlackRock, the biggest fund company in the world, made waves earlier this year when it announced it was replacing some highly paid human stock pickers with computer algorithms….. A much-quoted 2013 study by the University of Oxford Department of Engineering Science — surely the most sober of institutions — estimated that 47 percent of current jobs, including insurance underwriter, sports referee and loan officer, are at risk of falling victim to automation, perhaps within a decade or two.

Just this week, the McKinsey Global Institute released a report that found that a third of American workers may have to switch jobs in the next dozen or so years because of A.I…… as for Uber drivers, it is no secret that they are headed to that great parking garage in the sky; the company recently announced plans to buy 24,000 Volvo sport utility vehiclesto roll out as a driverless fleet between 2019 and 2021…..all of this stuff is happening now, not 25 years from now.....

“People who are interested in working with their hands, they’re going to be fine,” he said. “The robot plumber is a long, long way away.” NEW YORK TIMES.”

Soon, very soon, the Republic will not be able to have enough jobs for its people; the answer to that coming social catastrophe is to cull the labor force, by repatriating illegal aliens, DACA Recipients, and  TPS migrants.

President Trump may be crude; may even be a racist….that does not mean he is wrong. The American Labor Pool must be culled, must be shrunk, before the advent of robotics or all will be social turmoil; the Republic must maintain the balance between human dignity and machine efficiency, and that can only be accomplished by repatriating the pool of labor which should not be in America.
