In a recent interview with the Weather Channel, President Joe Biden expressed his eagerness to provide aid to “climate migrants” who may be fleeing extreme weather events in their home countries. When asked about the responsibility of the United States to protect these migrants, Biden emphasized that America has always been a country that helps those in need. He mentioned providing assistance to countries in order to address the environmental challenges they face.
While Biden’s intentions may seem noble, it’s important to question the true motivations behind promoting the idea of “climate refugees.” Business groups are pushing for the importation of poor individuals into the United States and Europe, seeing them as potential consumers, renters, and a source of cheap labor. This stems from the belief that climate change is creating a new wave of migrants who should be allowed to move into developed countries rather than developing their own nations.
Some projections suggest that there could be 1.2 billion climate refugees by 2050. The UN’s refugee agency has reported that between 2008 and 2016, an average of 21.5 million people were forcibly displaced each year due to weather-related events. This number is expected to increase significantly in the coming decades as climate change and natural disasters continue to wreak havoc.

It’s worth noting that business groups also prefer importing migrants over investing in developing countries. Rather than contributing to the growth and development of these nations, it is easier and more cost-effective for them to bring in cheap labor from abroad. This, in turn, leads to negative consequences for American workers, such as stagnating wages and inflated real estate prices.
It’s important to consider the consequences of Biden’s immigration policies. In less than three years, he has already imported over 6 million migrants, both legal and illegal. This massive influx not only affects American workers but also raises concerns among GOP and swing voters. A majority of Americans, including a significant number of Democrats, believe that Biden’s approach to immigration has resulted in a southern border invasion.
While Biden may present his immigration policies as a humanitarian effort, the reality is that they have wider implications that could potentially harm American citizens. As citizens, it is crucial to question the motives behind such policies and ensure that they prioritize the well-being of American workers and communities.
