Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) recently blamed America’s current labor shortage, in part, on former President Donald Trump’s efforts to fight illegal immigration. What did he say?
Speaking with reporters Monday after the Senate parliamentarian ruled against including a pathway to citizenship in the forthcoming budget reconciliation, Schumer claimed that one of the major reasons for the worker shortage has to do with “how Trump cut back on immigrants.”
“The American people understand that fixing our broken immigration system is a moral imperative [and] also an economic imperative because immigrants are so important to our economy,” the top Democrat said.
“Talk about shortage of workers — one of the main reasons is how Trump cut back on immigrants, both documented and undocumented,” he argued. The lawmaker added earlier, in specific reference to the Senate parliamentarian’s ruling, that the decision was “extremely disappointing” to him.
“It saddened me, it frustrated me, it angered me, because so many lives are at stake. But, make no mistake, the fight continues,” he said. What’s the background?
Schumer and other Democrats in Congress had been working diligently alongside the Biden administration to pass progressive immigration reform as part of the president’s $3.5 trillion spending plan by providing green cards and a pathway to citizenship for approximately 8 million immigrants from four categories: so-called “Dreamers,” those with Temporary Protected Status, farm workers, and essential workers.
But that plan ran into a wall over the weekend after two moderate Democratic senators — Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.) — signaled they might block the spending package.

Then, on Sunday, Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough dealt another blow to President Biden and his Democratic counterparts in determining that the immigration reforms could not be considered within a budget reconciliation because they would amount to “by any standard a broad, new immigration policy.”
“The policy changes of this proposal far outweigh the budgetary impact scored to it and it is not appropriate for inclusion in reconciliation,” MacDonough concluded. What else? In the backdrop of all this, the U.S. economy continues to grapple with a labor shortage amid its slow recovery from COVID-19 pandemic […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
