The United States Chamber of Commerce says it is “critically important” for the Senate to pass two amnesty bills that will pack the U.S. labor market with more foreign workers.
Last week, the Democrat-controlled House — with support from 30 House Republicans — passed two amnesty bills. One of the amnesties would put about 4.4 million young illegal aliens on track for American citizenship while the other would provide green cards to up to 2.1 million illegal aliens claiming to have worked on U.S. farms.
The Chamber of Commerce praised the House Democrats’ passage of the amnesties. In a statement, the Chamber’s Vice President, Neil Bradley, called the amnesties “critically important” to big business and corporate interests.
“Both the American Dream and Promise Act and the Farm Workforce Modernization Act are critically important to the business community,” Bradley said:
In a letter to Congress, Chamber executives urged lawmakers to pass the amnesties, claiming “they provide bipartisan solutions to very important issues.”
The Chamber’s push to pass the amnesties is significant because of the campaign cash that the business group continues to funnel to lawmakers. The biggest campaign donations went to lawmakers such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO), Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
The Chamber’s support for the amnesties comes as multinational corporations like Amazon, Google, Marriott International, Verizon, and Apple are driving the lobbying effort to pass the more expansive of the two amnesties in the Senate.

Do we have a list of the prime funders of the National CoC?
SCREW THEM, and their cheap labor whores!!!
CEOs love those meek foreign workers, so easy to exploit and intimidate. And a counterforce to Americans who expect to compete with them.
The Chamber is the largest lobbying group in the U.S., spending more money than any other lobbying organization on a yearly basis.
The US Chamber of Crony Communists.
They tell the Bush League Republicans how high to jump.
I think they need to be named, “Chicom Chamber of Commerce”. They sure as heck are representing America!
No doubt Lindsey Graham has his fingers crossed.
“They wouldn’t let us do it back in 2006, maybe now the country really has evolved!”

Meanwhile another US factory closes to send 140 jobs overseas. How many other similar announcements will Chamber of Commerce members issue in small and large towns around America this week?
While the story says the work will go to other company facilities, the company no longer manufactures the fabrics produced by the closing factory in the United States. This is the last one to close.
No doubt the federal and state governments will sponsor retraining programs for these American citizens. How many millions will the CEO make in bonus and options this year? Probably more than enough to make the this factory competitive.

SNAKES!
As soon as they are all here legally they’ll start organizing unions. They only work cheap out of desperation.
Serious question: Where are you going to find someone to replace your roof if not performed by a crew of Latinos?
I’m not for amnesty, but this country desperately needs people willing to work. It’s getting more impossible to get things done and it will only get worse.
I never thought I’d say this, but screw the chamber of commerce.
