Paul Ryan, GOP Establishment Look to Fulfill Koch Brothers’ Amnesty Dreams Ahead of Midterms
Breitbart ^ | 18 Apr 2018 | JOHN BINDER

The Republican establishment is weighing a plan with Democrats whereby millions of illegal aliens who are eligible and enrolled in the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program are given amnesty in exchange for a small amount of border security funding, Reuters reports.

Trump’s earlier compromise plan — that both the Republican establishment and Democrats rejected — would have only allowed the nearly 800,000 DACA-enrolled illegal aliens to remain in exchange for a major reduction in legal immigration levels to boost Americans’ wages.

For example, Trump’s original plan would have ended the process known as “chain migration,” whereby newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S. Additionally, the plan would have ended the Diversity Visa Lottery, whereby more than 50,000 random foreign nationals are imported to the U.S. and authorized the full funding for a border wall on the southern border.

Most significantly, the amnesty-for-border security plan is about the exact legislation that the billionaire Koch brothers have recently lobbied for on Capitol Hill.

Currently, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million legal and illegal immigrants every year, with more than 70 percent coming to the country through chain migration. In the next 20 years, the current U.S. legal immigration system is on track to import roughly 15 million new foreign-born voters. Between seven and eight million of those foreign-born voters will arrive in the U.S. through chain migration.

Sadly, amnesty is the only thing on the GOP agenda from now through the elections.

For the next 9 months, McConnell and Ryan will be just sitting on their a$$, letting the democrats run the show and hog the headlines.

No processing of Trump appointments, no work on rescission, no concern for homeland defense, no support for Trump’s initiatives on North Korea, Iran, - just amnesty.

And they are wondering why they are going to lose in November?

Someone should tell the disciples of von Mises and Rothbard that Abraham Lincoln, the founder of the Republican Party, was a high tariff man, as were all his GOP successors through Herbert Hoover.

There are 600 million people south of the border.
Build the wall and jail the employers of illegals.

Hey Koch boys, just exactly how many dead US citizens is acceptable to you from illegal immigrant criminal activity? What are acceptable numbers that you and the Chamber of Crony Commerce willing to tolerate? Since you seem to deal only in dollars and cold hard figures, give us a number of dead you are willing to tolerate on a yearly level?

At one time people who ran American corporations used to be America loving Americans, now we have globalist Eurotrash wannabe’s with no loyalty to anyone or anything except their bank accounts.
