This is just my opinion, but I believe they’re opposing this, because a precedent will immediately be set in regards to what Trump can and can’t do about illegals and H1B visas following this decision.

Those ads were for the employees to give them a sense the company cares deeply about a social issue.

Their attempt at virtue-signaling on this issue is actually going to cost them PR and customer $'s in the long run.

Others used Super Bowl ads to promote messages of inclusion and tolerance...

The CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS isn't that concerned about “Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen” but they are concerned with ANYTHING that might threaten their access to cheap labor...

Wrapping the idea of cheap labor in BS messages of 'inclusion and tolerance' is sick...

The high taxes and regulations pushed by Democrats hurt small businesses a lot more than they harm transnational corporations, who can more easily afford the overhead, take advantage of special tax loopholes, and if worst comes to worst offshore and outsource.

This is why small business owners are usually conservative, while many CEOs and Presidents of international corporations are perfectly happy with Democrats in the White House.

And after we lowered their taxes continuously over the past 30 years?!?!? We need to raise them and oppose the entire corporate program until they get their s__t straight.

The Cheap Labor Express has wanted the loosest immigration enforcement possible since the last amnesty.
They don’t care about the country.

It’s all about the money. That “Statue of Liberty” nonsense is just greedy liberal bull****.

Nothing prevents these companies from Opening up Shops in these Countries, then they can get the cheap labor.

Google in Yemen would be a great Headline!

Then they should work with government to make changes to rules, reg’s and laws and taxes that have made them look to other nations people for help. Quit sticking your corporate heads in the sand and begin to think as much about the American worker as you do about your bottom line.

How does the far left, who has for years hated corporate America, deal with this?

Corporations vamoosed the right side of the ranch a long time ago. They are run by kooky Ivy Leaguers now.

The Bernie Sanders fringe of the Democrats can't deal with this, but the mainstream Democrats (Clintonites) have figured out that they can get more wealth and power through crony capitalism than with socialism. The "New Democrats" have no problem with giving subsidies and targeted tax credits to corporate partners in return for political support. Similarly, many corporations have come to realize that multiculturalism and globalism fits well with their need for cheap foreign labor, while supporting trendy social causes is seen as virtue-signaling PR.

Immigration law, for invaders and for hired temporary job usurpers, needs to be effected immediately.

Corps are not looking out for American graduates, or for the middle class parents who sacrificed for their sons and daughters to attend college.

It is disrespectful and of families and towards our country.

Bring these bi-coastal wizards to heel.

Corporation want to run the country and they continuously buy off politicians to do it. It is apparent that Corporations HATE "the republic for which it stands" and citizen/states rights.

If a repeal the 17th amendment movement really took off Corporations would be leading the fight against it. They don't want to have to bribe 50 different legislatures. They want one stop shopping for all of their corrupt globalist needs.

Discussing the Civil War, I have come to believe that is where this stuff started. Once they realized they could influence the government to their profit, they never stopped doing it.

Power needs to be further disbursed, not concentrated. Concentrating it makes it far too easy to corrupt.
