The second-biggest loser of the 2024 election is Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who’s being demoted from the highly effective Majority Chief of the U.S. Senate to the largely powerless Minority Chief.
Schumer’s demotion to the minority standing — which is shared by the opposite 46 Democrats — was smoothed by his help for President Joe Biden’s maximum-migration coverage.
That Schumer-backed coverage imported roughly 9 million southern migrants — making certain the defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris and the lack of three Democrat-held Senate seats. That three-seat loss created a brand new 53-seat Republican majority within the Senate, thus forcing Schumer handy over the gavel and return to minority standing.
Furthermore, that is the second time Schumer has misplaced the Majority Chief job as a result of he prefers mass migration above funding in Americans’ prosperity, productiveness, and births.
In 2014, the Democrats misplaced 5 Senate seats as a result of President Barack Obama welcomed unlawful migrants and pushed for passage of the “Gang of Eight” amnesty and low-cost labor invoice. Schumer supported the invoice, which canceled his anticipated promotion to Senate Majority Chief in 2015.
By 2022, Schumer had forgotten his 2014 election catastrophe and was again touting the mass migration directed by Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas:
The 2024 election was a rerun of the 2014 election, partly, as a result of each disasters had been attributable to the Democrat celebration’s more and more unpopular welcome for thousands and thousands of migrants.
Democrat senators are blaming the Schumer-backed coverage for his or her fall. “We destroyed ourselves on the immigration problem in ways in which had been completely predictable and fully manageable,” a Democrat senator instructed the Hill for a November 29 report. “That’s political malpractice. That’s not another person’s fault. That’s not the teams pushing us round,” the senator added.
For a few years, Schumer has favored migrants over Americans: “We’re nothing if we’re not a Nation of Immigrants,” he instructed pro-migration enterprise leaders in 2020:
Immigrants [not Americans and their children] constructed this nation with their fingers, enriched our tradition with their minds and spirit, and offered the spark that drives our economic system.
…
Lots of you could not know this; My center identify is Ellis. Guess what? I used to be named after Uncle Ellis, who was named after Ellis Island, and in step with that custom, our second daughter, we selected her center identify to be Emma for the poet Emma Lazarus, who wrote on this [plaque subsequently added to the] pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, “Give me your poor, your drained, your huddled lots craving to be free.” So that is in my bones as a New Yorker, as somebody whose grandparents immigrated to the nation in the hunt for a greater life.
Nonetheless, the elites and main donors in his hometown of New York Metropolis produce other incentives to fund politicians who favor migration.
The federal government-invited flood of low-wage migrants spikes their actual property wealth and cuts the price of native labor. This influx additionally hides the failure of the town authorities to reform its schooling companies and weaken the financial clout of the middle-class New Yorkers who would possibly collectively elect a reformist mayor and governor.
“A global migration Ponzi scheme is the one factor that averts a demographic doom loop for cities like New York and San Francisco,” as Individuals flee the Democrats’ big and badly run cities, writer Michael Lind wrote in a September 2023 article for Compact journal.
Nonetheless, Schumer and his celebration are additionally deeply reliant on billionaire donors primarily based in his hometown of New York and California, dwelling of failed presidential candidate Harris.
The celebration’s pro-migration donors are exemplified by FWD.us, whose high lobbyist has blamed Democrats for not offering sufficient financial help to Biden’s flood of wealth-shifting migrants.
Mark Zuckerberg and a founding corps of West Coast consumer-economy traders created FWD.us in 2014 to help the “Gang of Eight” migration growth invoice. Schumer helped push that invoice by the Senate, however it was torpedoed when GOP major voters defenestrated the Home Republican’s Majority Chief, pro-migration Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA).
In 2020, Zuckerberg — and his coverage adviser, David Plouffe — helped Biden defeat Trump. Since 2021, Mayorkas has imported roughly 9 million inadmissible migrants to function customers, renters, and employees for the U.S. shopper economic system.
The financial and civic injury completed by Mayorkas’s deliberate migration coverage pushed a big share of undecided swing voters to help Trump over the past week of the 2024 marketing campaign, in keeping with a report by Blueprint2024, a pro-Democrat polling agency.
Harris misplaced as a result of “the political ambiance was fairly brutal,” Plouffe rationalized in a PodSaveAmerica podcast on November 26 — with out admitting how his FWD.us insurance policies poisoned the political ambiance for Harris. “I feel the political ambiance, the need for change … actually offered big challenges for us,” Plouffe evaded.
On November 5, these challenges value Schumer three senators plus the bulk gavel — for the second time.
