The Weather Channel is promoting the open-ended claim migrants should be allowed to enter the United States if their homelands are damaged by “extreme weather” — and President Joe Biden is eager to say yes.
“Is it the responsibility of the United States to protect migrants who might be fleeing extreme weather in their countries?” meteorologist Stephanie Abrams asked Biden during a very rare and softball interview beside the Grand Canyon. [emphasis, links added]
Biden replied in the August 9 broadcast:
Look, I think the United States should do everything it can to help people who are in desperate need and have no other means of help. And we’ve always done that.
It is just who we are. We’re the United States of America … for example, one of the things we’re doing is we’re providing for changing the environment, the physical structures, in the countries which they come from.
Biden then drifted away from the topic, saying: “We’re replacing every single lead pipe in America.”

Business groups want to import poor people into the United States and Europe to serve as consumers, renters, and cheap workers.
One claim is that “climate refugees” are being created by climate change, and should be allowed to move into American society instead of developing their own countries.
HERE IT COMES: Democrats have drafted a bill to import at least 50,000 "climate refugees" per year despite the damaging impact on Americans' wages and rents. https://t.co/HMavR6RTaZ

“There could be 1.2 billion climate refugees by 2050,” the Swiss-based Zurich Insurance Group Ltd claimed in June 2023:
According to UNHCR, the UN’s refugee agency, an annual average of 21.5 million people were forcibly displaced each year by weather-related events – such as floods, storms, wildfires and extreme temperatures – between 2008 and 2016.
This climate migration is expected to surge in coming decades with forecasts from international thinktank the IEP predicting that 1.2 billion people could be displaced globally by 2050 due to climate change and natural disasters.
Business groups also want more migrants because it is easier and safer for them to import poor people than to invest in developing countries. Breitbart News reported in November 2021:
Throughout the 1990s, economists expected investors in wealthy countries to move job-creating investments to the developing world and, thereby, raise billions of people out of poverty, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the GOP-linked American Action Forum, said.
However, “for any number of reasons — inability to enforce contracts, political problems — the capital [in wealthy countries] really didn’t flow that way. It stayed in these [wealthy] countries,” he said during an October 26 online talk organized by far-left public publication DemocracyJournal.org.
But economics does abhor a vacuum, and so “now the [poor] labor is coming for the capital,” via international migration, according to Holtz-Eakin, a pro-migration economist who formerly worked for Sen. John McCain and for President George W. Bush when he was pushing the open-borders “any willing worker” claim.
Biden has already imported at least 6 million migrants for economic purposes in less than three years.
That economic policy has helped investors by inflating real estate prices and reducing Americans’ wages.

Okay lets send them to live with Obama Both the Clintons the United Nations Nasty Nancy the United Nations and all the rest of the Global Warming/Climate Change screwballs oh yeah lets send some to Marthas Vineyard and the Obamas who are living in the area once inhabited by the Extinct Heath Hen lets see those Globalists care for those so called refugees
Is the South West in on this ? It’s been over 105 degrees every day for the last month ( as usual )
You’re right. If they were fleeing heat, why are Florida, Texas and California so popular? They are “prosperity” seekers, and I don’t blame them. Don’t label, and use them, as climate refugees.
People want to immigrate into the US to improve their economic condition. As such they use all sorts of excuses. One immigration lawyer said that his client was homosexual and as such was a political refugee due to the intolerance in the country she came from. The woman was interviewed and said she was not a homosexual and despised them. Extreme weather events are not increasing, but due to the acceptance of that narrative in the political whelm it makes a perfect excuse to accept the immigrants.
Immigration may benefit companies who exploit them for cheap labor, but it is bad for the common Joe. Housing prices have sky rocketed making buying a house unaffordable to many young Americans. Following economic concept of supply and demand, a larger population due to immigration has driven up the cost of housing.
Some Eco-Freaks oppose Border Fence claiming it would keep Wildlife from Migration Unless these people are total idiots(Which they are)Birds and Butterflies fly right over Fences, Walls and Borders
