Damn is everybody going Harry Reid these days.
The face of a liar.
I would say, "Thanks for the laugh", but it's not a bit funny.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce burnt their bridge with me.
When they declared war on the Tea Party they declared war on me.
F’em.
They’ve been screaming it loud and clear for YEARS.
This denial is totally ridiculous.
I’m allll FOR property rights and getting rich, but make no mistake —these slick-operating sheisters would sell their mother down the river for 0.00001 cents.
Sorry, but culture and country do come into the mix SOMEWHERE.
Chamber of Commerce —heartless, sick, greedy AMERICA HATERS.
BS.
screw the COC
Never thought id see the Camber of Commerce go un-American.
LIES! They still support amnesty. They just call it immigration reform, same as their comrade Obozo
+The Chamber of Commerce agenda is cheap labor and damn the American workers and our country. They only care about saving labor costs.
"Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia."
Amnesty by any other name is still amnesty, and it won’t change by cloaking it with political agendas and jargon.
Technically they are right. They want *illegal* workers, not US citizens. If they could, they would be all in favor of restoring slavery for cheap labor.
The Chamber of Commerce is *not* a patriotic American organizations. Their leadership work for multinational corporations who support internationalism over nations, and the RINOs who support them see these multinationals as their *real* constituents.
Once conservatives control the Republican party, they need to insulate themselves from these often anti-American organizations. If a corporation would sell-out America for short term profits, they should not be influencing our government.
They are just getting around to telling us now. They never have clarified what they were for. Just “comprehensive immigration reform” which includes amnesty and will be totally incompressible when they get done. It will be another one they have to pass to see what’s in it.
We never supported amnesty. You said that. We never said that.
This is as ridiculous as Brit Hume saying ‘amnesty’ was NOT in the current comprehensive immigration legislation, in fact, it has never been in any of the immigration bills.
These people use the same talkingpoints. It doesn’t matter which party they are in or whether they are politicians or reporters/media people.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas J. Donohue said Monday that Congress must get back to the issue of immigration, arguing that businesses need an influx of immigrant labor because American workers aren’t available.
“Immigrants do not typically compete with Americans for jobs, and, in fact, create more jobs through entrepreneurship, economic activity, and tax revenues,” he said. “Immigrants serve as a complement to U.S.-born workers and can help fill labor shortages across the skill spectrum and in key sectors.”
The chamber brokered a major deal last year with labor unions that called for illegal immigrants to gain legal status and for an increase in future legal immigration for work purposes. That deal cleared the way for the Senate to pass a broad immigration overhaul.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ON IMMIGRATION REFORM: ‘WE’RE GOING TO USE EVERY TOOL AND RESOURCE AT OUR DISPOSAL’
“We’re going to use every tool and resource at our disposal. And we’re going to keep pushing our leaders to do the right thing for our country, if not before the election, then after—perhaps during a lame-duck session,” U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue declared Monday in a blog post.
According to Donohue, while leaders have shown they are unlikely to move forward with immigration reform in Congress this year, his body is not going to stop pushing for it.
“Those of us who have been fighting for years for meaningful reform are disappointed by the lack of progress,” he wrote. “But we’re not discouraged, and we’re not deterred. In fact, the business community and our coalition of partners—including labor, law enforcement, the tech sector, civic organizations, and the faith-based community—are more determined than ever to fix our broken system.”
The Chamber of Commerce has been a force for immigration reform, arguing that the reforms they seek will benefit the economy by expanding businesses’ access to more employees and attracting more business investment to the U.S.
Earlier this spring, Donohue said that, if the GOP did not pass immigration reform, they would not have a chance in the 2016 presidential election.
“If the Republicans don’t do it, they shouldn’t bother to run a candidate in 2016,” Donohue joked in May. “Think about that. Think about who the voters are. I just did that to get everybody’s attention.
Donohue’s blog post did not make reference to the influx of illegal immigration, largely from Central America, that has resulted in a crisis at the southern border. However, at a news conference last week, Donohue acknowledged that the surge has made moving the ball on immigration reform harder.
“You’re damn right, it makes it more difficult,” he said, according to the Jacksonville Business Journal .
Despite the difficultly, Donohue stressed Monday, “We know that immigration reform will ultimately get done—because it must get done.”
