‘Granola bars for open borders?’: Immigration expert Mark Krikorian calls out pro-amnesty companies
Twitchy ^ | 9/11/2013

Posted on 09/11/2013 12:34:54 PM PDT by markomalley

A new report by the Center for Immigration Studies explains that representatives from over 100 companies have sent a letter to John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi voicing support for amnesty. According to the letter, legalizing more than 11 million illegal immigrants will boost the economy.

CIS executive director Mark Krikorian spent time today calling out these companies for favoring illegal aliens over the millions of Americans who are currently out of work:

The companies can work the new people 60 hours/week at minimum wage and not (they believe) pay healthcare.

For a eye opener of what these companies want. Check out Wrangler and Levis in the Philippines. People that work there can’t afford to buy one pair of the product they make.

Yup.

You’ll note we never really see any sort of a panned view of their operations while there’s actually work being done.

We’re led to believe the main characters hand assemble all their stuff while telling pithy jokes.

Each of these companies employ non-college grad personnel in large numbers. We, through our astronomical tax and spend gov’t, are paying welfare salaries including food stamps for millions of Americans. Methinks the solution to these company’s labor desires is staring us right in the face. We could make the world a much better place for everybody if we simply connected the welfare recipients to the employers on this list. Voila! ...and get the suffering taxpayer out of the middle of it all.

We can also “reform” immigration by shifting all immigration to prioritize freedom-loving entrepreneurs.

There, massive problem-solving in less than ten minutes.

I checked the other thread that had the actual letter and the list of signers and I didn’t see Duck Commander or Buck Commander nor the names of any of the Robertsons in it.
