Council on Foreign Relations backs amnesty for illegals, opposes Arpaio-style raids
Phoenix Business Journal ^ | 7/9/09

Posted on 07/09/2009 5:22:09 PM PDT by FromLori

The uber-establishment Council on Foreign Relations said Wednesday it favors granting legal status to many of the roughly 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., creating a guest worker program for low-skilled foreign workers to come and work in the U.S and opposes local police getting to conduct immigration raids.

The CFR issued an immigration policy report Wednesday that looks to lift caps on foreign university students in the U.S. and allow skilled foreign graduates to get more work visas. The international policy group also wants to create legal paths to citizenship for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants already in the U.S.

The CFR also said local police should not take lead roles in immigration enforcements and workplace raids. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas have been conducting immigration raids and prosecutions against businesses hiring illegal immigrants, as well as drop-houses used by smugglers trafficking illegal immigrants into Arizona from Mexico.

The CFR report does not specifically mention Arpaio but the Valley’s sheriff is the most notable local enforcer of immigration laws in the U.S.

The CFR’s recommendations on guest workers and amnesty mirror plans to be pushed in Congress this year by President Barack Obama. Arizona State university professor Raul H. Yzaguirre and former Florida governor Jeb Bush served on the CFR task force that wrote the recommendations.

The group also wants the U.S. to tweek or ease some post 9/11 security measures that have discouraged immigration and foreign tourism into the U.S. and want the U.S. government to develop new technologies to secure border areas, verify workers’ employment status and enforce immigration laws.

The New York-based CFR is a heavyweight international policy group whose members includes powerful politicians, CEOs and university presidents as well as multinational corporations, media firms and private equity firms.

The Council’s corporate members include Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, American Express, Chevron, ExxonMobil Corp., Rothschild North America Inc., News Corp., General Electric, KBR Inc., Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Co., Soros Fund Management and Google Inc.

U.S. Sen. John McCain, former Arizona governor Bruce Babbitt, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Arizona State University President Michael Crow and Thunderbird School of Global Management president Angel Cabrera are Arizonans that are CFR members.

Other notable CFR members include:

• Former U.S. Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger, Colin Powell, James Baker and Madeline Albright.

• Former U.S. Treasury secretaries Henry Paulson and Robert Rubin.

• Financier George Soros and JP Morgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon.

• Former Federal Reserve Bank chairmen Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker.

• Former presidents George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton and former vice president Dick Cheney.

• Media notables such as NBC’s Tom Brokaw, News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch, Newsweek International editor and CNN commentator Fareed Zakaria and New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs “Punch” Sulzberger.

Gonna be hard to employ the illegals when we have legal Americans who are homeless, living in their cars and willing to work for food.

The CFR follows the Biderberger Plan to turn America into a Third World Nation. Obama gets his marching orders from the CFR. Bilderbergers, CFR, Trilaeralists, Bohemian Grove Satanists are plotting the destruction of the U.S. These quislings dictate foreign affairs and public policy solely to benefit the secret cabal of wealthy elitist whores.

Welcome to the New World Order !

There are now over 25 million illegal Hispanics living in the U.S. How many more from Russia, China and Eastern Europe ______ ? Nobody even knows. Our government is following a secret agenda to bankrupt the nation when government health care is enacted. The cost of treating at least 28,000,000 people who are here illegally is totally insane.

Kind of scary isn't it ______ ?

This falls right in line with the report that shows that our ‘leaders’ favor amnesty, etc. while the PEOPLE of this country do not! Is the the USA of the CFR or what?

Poll: Immigration Amnesty Is Unpopular Outside the Beltway, Pols Remain Clueless
April 16, 2009

[snip]Sixty-six percent (66%) of likely voters nationwide say it is Very Important for the government to improve its enforcement of the borders and reduce illegal immigration. However, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 32% of America’s Political Class agrees.

It makes NO sense, unless the intent is to do just that, turn the USA into an international thoroughfare. Which of course destroys the middle class and our sovereignty. Something very sinister is afoot in this mess.

And it’s VERY scary!

"These people see American sovereignty as merely an inconvenience."

That's the part I have a "slight" problem with. Even in a New world order...this does not need to be, unless they want an unfettered dominance. This is not the spread of freedom, it's the vision of monsters.

The CFR has long been known as the shadow government so yes pretty much.

Many come right out and say they take their marching orders from...

(posted on the CFR website)..

http://www.cfr.org/publication/18515/remarks_by_national_security_adviser_jones_at_45th_munich_conference_on_security_policy.html

“Thank you for that wonderful tribute to Henry Kissinger yesterday. Congratulations. As most recent National Security Advisor of the United States, I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through General Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger, who is also here. We have a chain of command in the National Security Council that exists today.”

Are you aware of the Council on Foreign Relations report titled “The International Institutions and Global Governance”?

The program was launched on May 1, 2008. The Obamageddon’s selection of National Security Advisor Jones was undoubtedly a selection of the CFR and as noted in a previous post we know who he takes his marching orders from!

http://www.cfr.org/content/thinktank/CFR_Global%20_Governance_%20Program.pdf

They did not launch this program with the help of The David Rockefeller Studies Program costing millions and millions of dollars with help from other Front Organizations like the Robina Foundation who gave $6 Million alone, one of the largest operating grants in the Foundations history to help out the United States that should be painfully clear.

The stated purpose of The International Institutions and Global Governance Program is to utilize the resources of the David Rockefeller Studies Program to assess existing Regional and Global Governance Mechanisms. Sound good to you? It says The Council On Foreign Relations has Launched An Initiative To Promote And IMPLEMENT A System of Effective WORLD Governance.

“The CFR has long been known as the shadow government so yes pretty much.”

I’ve always tried to steer clear of the so called conspiracy theories, CFR, Billdebugers (whatever it is!), etc. and deal with the problems that were obviously in our face.

I was given a chart almost 20 years ago that showed the members, MANY of our MSM so called ‘reporters’ included in CFR.

Well, looks like it’s pretty much ‘in our face’ doesn’t it?
I don’t know how we reach the masses to make them understand the dangers of this elitist group think when they control the media and have convinced the masses to be silent sheep out of political correctness.

Yes most who knew or were given information years ago did the same because the media and people in general acted like you were insane if you believed what you saw in black and white. Yet now prominent people are bellowing daily for a new world order and so I guess it is acceptable and they are not not insane when they do it??? Go figure.

I just saw that list again the other day I can’t recall where but it includes even brokaw. I think someone on here has it.

What we should do is DEPORT them all! The CFR has no business sticking their nose in our business. I have a good idea lets treat them like Mexico treats their illegal aliens. Whats good for the goose...

“What we should do is DEPORT them all!”

Bush and Obama want as many illegals as possible in here, so the idea of deportations is not likely.

Demon-maniacs are meeting this month to plan the total overthrow of America. Over 2,500 greedy elitists in one place. My question: 'Where is the 82nd Airborne when you really need them . . . ?'

It seems clear that they think they are running the world and have things firmly under their control. Their delusion is scary.
