Past time for “We the People” to totally boycott the grifting Chamber of Commerce. They should have no political power and should become history. It is obvious that the funding they receive is used to corrupt the constitutional processes or fill the individual pockets of their organization and a$$ki$$ing politicians.
I do not know one Mexican, who has been here for generations, that is for amnesty, and I know a lot of them.
Chamber of Commerce got NAFTA, GATT, now want amnesty. It will happen.
Oh people favor changing immigration law, just not by these clowns.
Under Lesher, the Chamber had endorsed the Clinton health care plan of 1993, angering many conservatives. Congressman John Boehner led a campaign pushing companies to leave the Chamber over its support of the bill. When Donohue took over, the Chamber’s power was considered to be at a low ebb.
Donohue is president of the National Chamber Foundation as well as the Center for International Private Enterprise, a core institution of the National Endowment for Democracy.
The Washington Post wrote “Nobody has mastered this new Washington game better than Thomas J. Donohue.” “Tom is a bodacious, hard-charging, in-your-face kind of guy, which is not the style you see in Washington much anymore,” W. Henson Moore of the American Forest and Paper Association told the Post. He calls Donohue the George Patton of the trade association world. “Tom Donohue threatens, cajoles, badgers — whatever it takes to get what he wants,” consumer activist Joan Claybrook said.

Conservatives need to start pushing the idea that big business is pushing amnesty, and only big corporations are behind it.
Liberals hate big business, and if we can hammer that message enough, the liberals will turn against amnesty too.
” Big business wants amnesty so they can lower your wages, why do you support big business?”
“Big Business wants amnesty to destroy the middle class.”

This traitor is working for the Chamber of Mexican Commerce.
Donahue can move to Mexico if the ethnic composition of the United States is so offensive to him.
Maybe he can form a latter day San Patricio Battalion.
And then we can send a latter day Gen. Harney to see to him...
They can shove it!
The trouble with the business amnesty crowd is they think legalizing folks will enable them to hire more legitimately. Perhaps. But for the many who use migrants and illegals, their business model is based on underpaying market wages. Once the illegals have been amnestied, their base salaries will be the prevailing US wage. If these businesses cannot pay that wage now, they will still require more slave laborers. Illegal immigration will not stop.
Yeah, that’s what this Donohoe guy really needs to be concerned about. Getting to 2016, being faced with an Elizabeth Warren Presidency and THEN coming to the realization (well documented in prior cycle exit polls) that Hispanic voters don’t vote immigration issues, they vote their support for government handout programs like Obamacare. AND that there’s no longer a damn thing he or anyone else can do about it.
The Chamber of Commerce and its supporters (Silicon Valley) need to keep wages low and to do that they need more folks from outside the USA to take those CHEAP jobs so they can make more money.
Crony Capitalists want cheap labor.
I suppose under our new fascism, it's OK for a portion of the business community to make special laws for some people.
92 million out of work ,now bring me more
I think the goal is to have amnesty act as an attractant for more illegal aliens, who they can pay under the table and treat as de facto slaves. That’s the way the 1986 amnesty worked.
