Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us Calls Trump’s Immigration Stance ‘Absurd’

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants is nuts, says FWD.us, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s political advocacy group.

The Facebook founder got name-checked in the CNBC Republican candidates debate Wednesday, as Trump grudgingly admitted calling Florida Sen. Marco Rubio “Mark Zuckerberg’s personal senator” for promoting expanded use of the H-1B employment visas used by Silicon Valley companies.

Trump has argued H-1B visas displace Americans who otherwise might land high-paying tech jobs. He’s advocating restrictions in the program as part of an overhaul on immigration that includes deporting immigrants who lack legal status in the U.S. and walling off the border with Mexico.

Trump Denied Calling Rubio Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘Personal Senator’ — Even Though He Did

FWD.us issued a statement Thursday, saying it utterly disagrees with Trump on immigration issues such as mass deportation. It avoided weighing in on the H-1B visas.

“It is astounding that some in a party that espouses smaller government wants one big enough to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants and millions of their U.S. citizen family members,” FWD.us President Todd Schulte said in a statement. “Mass deportation is absurd on its face and these policies are indefensible on human, economic and political grounds.”

Mark Zuckerberg is absurd. He was raised Jewish but became an atheist. If he has ANY concern for Israel... he betterlearn to PRAY that Trump wins

Zuckerschmuck is a Wall St. puppet just like Obama is a puppet for the hard-core left.

Zuckerberg’s name should not even be known because he is merely a figurehead for Wall St. marketing. His notable skills and experience are confined to programming. Outside of that he’s a Zero, a mere puppet with a clownish story.

But Wall St. chose to cast him as a wunderkind in order to sell an IPO, They needed to create a story and a ‘persona’ that would continue the meme of young programmers bringing innovation. Now their geek creation is out there bashing a real success, a real performer, and a real patriot.

Zuckerschmuck’s only consolidation should be an opportunity to kiss HClinton’s ass as horrid a thought that conjures. In fact, he should be required to do it as just punishment for his stupidity.

I have worked in tech for over 20 years, I can tell you that H1B is the BIGGEST SCAM there is.

There is not one single reason any company should be hiring a foreign worker to write code or administer IT under the H1B program. This program as written is soley to be used when you cannot find an american capable of doing the work. There is no shortage of american’s who are capable of doing this sort of work.

The law is violated wholesale and no one cares.. its a complete scam.

H1B is to skilled workers what illegal immigrants are to unskilled.

Yes. At the end of the day, he is ultimately just a thief.

Love to see Trump lay him out with that line.

The "Facebook founder" wants to tangle with President Trump?

You can take you vaporware company and your undocumented workers to Medico or some other country. Permanently.

The idea that we need a sovereign nation, in order to be a sovereign nation, is “absurd” to Zuckerberg?!?

Damn! All that money, and Zuckerberg still can’t afford common-damn-sense! SAD!!

And the Southern slaveowners called the Northern abolitionists absurd, too. Like them, zuckerberg has linked his next several billions to the importation of slave labor, through both illegal immigration and H-1B visas.

He built Facebook from the ground up, and is worth over $35 billion. Much, much more than Trump, and he built that fortune much faster than Trump built his (and Zuckerberg didn't have the benefit of a YUGE inheritance).

Zuckerberg had the benefit of ethnic networking and solidarity. Silicon Valley has been morphing into the new Hollywood over the past decade or two if you haven’t noticed.

I’m not following you (or anyone else) around, I am expressing my opinions about Trump. No “abuse” involved, and certainly none intended...
