The U.S. Chamber of Commerce: The New Plantation Masters
Self-deportation ping.
Rising wages for Americans ping.
Affordable housing ping.
Solvent hospitals ping.
The national Chamber wants open borders so its members have cheap (and illegal) help. They don't give a rat's patoot what happens to the nation as a result of that policy. Their idea of "onerous" state laws as laws that work.
Local Chambers of Commerce are not so blind, nor as dishonest, as the national one.

They obviously have no idea what the voters may do to them, if they don’t align with public opinion regarding illegal immigration. Things could get very ugly.
This treasonous rabble also spent millions to prevent legislation to properly label all foreign-based food items. Only fish has been mandated, thanks to the legal machinations of this profits-uber-alles group. They have also fought tooth and nail to prevent any and all actions against China or Chinese goods, relating to safety, dumping or machinations of the Yuan.
The Chamber of Commerce should merge with the ACLU.
One man's "onerous" may be another man's "disasterous".
I just love weasel words.

A modest proposal:
How about all advertising, indicates at the time of the advertisement, where the product or service is provided.
So when Travelocity for example advertises their website, you’ll see “call center in India”. When Target or Walmart advertise a $100 bike, it says clearly “made in China”.
Do this for all advertising, and packaging. Watch how long it takes for “Made in America” to rocket back into vogue - along with a (bunch) of new jobs here!!
Not one tarriff needed.
Do have any information on the food labeling bill, act, whatever? Every time I see a comment such as yours I try to look it up and find nada.
On May 13, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, more commonly known as the 2002 Farm Bill. One of its many initiatives requires country of origin labeling for beef, lamb, pork, fish, perishable agricultural commodities and peanuts. On January 27, 2004, President Bush signed Public Law 108-199 which delays the implementation of mandatory COOL for all covered commodities except wild and farm-raised fish and shellfish until September 30, 2006. On November 10, 2005, President Bush signed Public Law 109-97, which delays the implementation for all covered commodities except wild and farm-raised and shellfish until September 30, 2008. As described in the legislation, program implementation is the responsibility of USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service.
Thanks.
Ironic isn’t it that the Democrats once preached to us about how evil the Chamber of Commerce and its evil minions were, in fact, evil!
If the COC tries to block enforcement of immigration laws, they should be fought at every level...governments should prosecute them if possible, and civilians should fight them any way we can.
Won't happen for a couple reasons.
Walmart drove the small local businesses out of business because people wanted cheaper products and didn't care what effect it would have on the local small businesses.
Americans don't want the low wage high labor jobs. They want high pay low labor jobs.
Like it or not we do have a labor shortage in the high manual labor sector. Our birthrate in this country is still self sustaining, all other industrialized modern countries are negative, but with a growing economy we don't have the labor force for the entry level positions.
Start jailing these ‘patriots’ till we find out what the Constitution says on the matter.
Every step we can take in the direction of encouraging companies and people to build and make things in America, is good for our country.
No one action or step will change things.
But over time, we can change the dynamic. Already illegal immigration has emerged, and become a patriotic rallying cry across America. That would have been unthinkable, just 5 years ago.
Outsourcing and the selling off of America’s industry is even more important, and for many of the same reasons, has the capability to deeply inspire people.
I say we should try it.
Then we should try again.
And keep trying. Every day. In everything we do.
In regards to the Chamber, it’s good to know that the ACLU has an equally evil cousin, just as determined to destroy the country. Different ideologies, but same disregard for laws, and same destructive goals. All traitors.
This is called selling the rope to hang yourself.
