The pro-mass immigration GOP megadonor billionaire Koch brothers are threatening Republicans running midterm campaigns, saying they want to see an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens passed or they will “closely evaluate” their aiding and funding of certain candidates.
The Koch brothers represent a number of organizations that purport to be conservative and libertarian-leaning, including Freedom Partners, the LIBRE Initiative, Americans for Prosperity, and Generation Opportunity. The billionaires’ businesses include Matador Cattle Company, Koch Pipeline, and Guardian Industries.
In an interview with The Hill, Americans for Prosperity President Tim Phillips said the pro-amnesty, pro-mass immigration Koch networks would “closely evaluate” their participation in GOP midterm races if those candidates did not help push an amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens who are eligible and enrolled in the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Breitbart News has closely chronicled the Koch brothers’ attempts to not only pass an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens but also keep the current policies of mass legal immigration intact to keep the U.S. labor market flooded and prevent wages for American workers from rising.
The Koch brothers’ agenda of a low-wage economy with mass immigration is at deep odds with Republican voters and Trump supporters. Most recent polling reveals that reducing overall immigration to the U.S. is more important than tax cuts, repealing Obamacare, and even destroying the Islamic State (ISIS).

“the only way we will ever take this country back is through force of arms.”
Good luck with that. I don’t think you can buy SAM missiles, RPGs, Stingers or tanks at a gun show. The 2nd Amendment is a deterrent against tyrants, and if a tyrant calls your bluff, watch out. Actually using it to take down an alleged tyrant can be done, but that’s Plan Z, not Plan A, as Mr. Shea and later the entire South, discovered to their sorrow.
The small business folks that cannot afford to pay minimum wage will be going out of business. Only corporate agriculture will be able to stay in business.
Sounds like bribery to me.
There is no doubt that the conservative middle class has been betrayed by both parties.
We either take over one of the parties or we start a 3rd viable party. Trump has chosen the takeover route.
The Kochs supported the GOP-E. They never supported the middle class. My guess is they consider themselves our betters.
It is.
Why do the Koch brothers hate this country and want to destroy it even though it has given so much to them?
You want to know why the GOP and the DEMS look alike? Other than Trump? This is exactly why, both are funded by folks who want the same destructive things for America, if for different reasons.

Power corrupts
Trump is eventually going to sign an amnesty bill.

BWAHAHAHAAHA! LOLOLOL!
That’s why getting control of the voting process is so critical for us. Fake voting is real.
We truly are in jeopardy with electronic voting.
For the life of me I can’t understand why leftists hate the Koch brothers. I know why conservatives hate them. They have proven that they are scumbags.
Yep.
They have a 1st Amendment right to spend all their billions on political speech, advocating whatever they wish.
But, combined, they are only 3 or 4 votes.
And Republicans would do damn well to remember that.
If ANYTHING resembling an amnesty reaches the floor of either house, political slaughter will ensue. And on such grand scale as to earn a spot next to the Fall of Rome in western history.
The mood of the electorate is FAR more strident than even 5 years ago.
Old Rockefellar repubs who desire only to balance the checkbook. After that, anything goes. That’s the Bush family in a nutshell.
They have gotten us to elect Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Cochran, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi, who all support amnesty.
Simply by being “not a Democrat”.
Koch money should be rejected, the GOP shouldn’t even do business with them. Closet leftists who don’t represent the views of the majority of Republican voters.
