Chamber of Commerce launches immigration-focused ad campaign for Texas candidate
The Hill ^ | 06/02/18 | Max Greenwood

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is hailing Rep. Will Hurd's (R-Texas) support for young undocumented immigration in its first-immigration focused campaign ad of the 2018 election cycle.

"Will Hurd is fighting to protect the Dreamers," the ad, released on Thursday, says. "He's also leading the charge for new border security measures that will keep our communities safer. Will Hurd is working for all of us."

The term "Dreamers" refers to beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which temporarily shielded young undocumented immigrants from deportation and gave them permission to work in the U.S.

President Trump rescinded that program last year, although a court order temporarily protected it. Hurd is among a group of moderate Republicans pushing Congress to pass legislation extending protections for dreamers.

This doesn’t seem like a very bright way to get Texans to vote.

Chamber of commerce wants to suppress fair wages. They would prefer slavery over paying “FAIR WAGES”.

So does Wall Street.
The CoC is their mouthpiece.

CoC wants open borders. National advertisers are members. They also advertise on the networks that support open borders.

Are you funding support for open borders? You are if you have cable tv and buy nationally advertised products.

Your money goes to the cable tv company which goes to the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL.

Your money goes to national advertisers which goes to the CoC.

Your money goes to national advertisers which goes to the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL.

Do you support open borders? No? Then why are you funding open borders?

Cut the cable tv to starve the LEFT MEDIA until they offer a la carte programming
Buy local/generic as much as you can to starve the National Advertisers which will starve the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL.

If you do nothing at all, think of the country your grandchildren will have to live in where conservative values have been designated as “hate speech” and criminalized.

All because we were not willing to disrupt our lives.

They will curse our names and deservedly so.

The USCC should be looked at by conservatives like the old Whig Party leaders. All they care about is “what is good for business”. Back then, though the rank and file were adamantly anti-slavery, the Whig leaders just couldn’t bring themselves to oppose it, because “slavery is good for business.”

So the conservatives split from the Whig Party and formed the Republican Party. And the Whig Party withered, so the Whigs quietly joined the Republicans, and began their quest to become its new leadership.

Today, the same kind of people cannot bring themselves to oppose illegal alien labor. Because they think it is “good for business”. And philosophically, they are even worse, having become internationalist-corporatists. They want a one world government run by corporations.

The USCC does make it easier. If they endorse a candidate, DO NOT SUPPORT THEM. They supported the Bushes, Romney, McCain, Rubio, and a whole bunch more RINOs who have already been booted out of office and the Republican Party.

If such candidates call themselves “conservatives”, THEY ARE LYING.

Does George Bush Junior campaign for this RINO? Does he campaign for anyone? Just wondering.

Hurd’s opponent is a lesbian, Filipina-American, Iraq veteran.
