Hundreds of CEOs Demand Dreamer Amnesty Shortly After Promising Tax Cuts Will Help American Workers

FULL TITLE:Shameless: Hundreds of CEOs Demand Dreamer Amnesty Shortly After Promising Tax Cuts Will Help American Workers

Corporate America is not leaving it to lawmakers and the White House to reach a deal to determine the fate of millions of illegal foreign workers whose temporary permission to work in the U.S. is set to expire early this year.

Instead, more than 100 corporate leaders are demanding immediate and permanent amnesty for millions of so-called “Dreamers.”

Just days after President Donald Trump hosted Democratic and Republican lawmakers at the White House to discuss legislation that would authorize funding for a border wall and end chain migration while also providing legal protections for around 700,000 foreign workers under the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, corporate leaders have signed a letter urging lawmakers to enact a dramatically expanded amnesty program.

Although the letter cites the potential end of DACA as a reason for urgent action, it calls for a much broader amnesty program that would include all the so-called “Dreamers,” a broader group than the 700,000 DACA recipients. By most estimates, the broader group would include millions of illegal foreign workers rather than hundreds of thousands.

This isn’t a surprise. Globalist transnational corporations have been leading the push for a world without nation-states since at least the 1950`s if not earlier. They see it as so much easier and profitable if they could deal only with one global government than with hundreds.

Remember that amnesty for illegal aliens is also amnesty for their employers.

They have been breaking the laws, too.


RIGHT ON - here is what the law used to say although I cannot find the current version most of us remember this quite specifically...(suspect Obama made this obsolete through his phone and pen)

The Law Against Hiring or Harboring Illegal Aliens , December 1999

When Breaking the Law by Hiring Illegal Aliens Doesn't Pay ,November 2008

costs would inflate if they had to hire Americans to replace them to do the work

AND THEREIN lies the entire immigration problem.

Fury rises at Disney over use of foreign workers

From the list I saw, it didn’t sound like they were the CEO’s of the same companies that are passing on the corporate tax savings to their employees. These are liberal CEO’s and do not share willingly with their serfs.

People mistakenly believe that business interests are a conservative force in public life. On fiscal issues they are, but on national and cultural issues they are not. These CEOs are not the outlier, they’re the norm in that the transnational financial elite are committed to a liberal immigration policy and the cheap labor that it brings.

Take all their names. Send in ICE in to investigate their operations and books.

Screw the CEOs. Just run your businesses and hire American workers.

We don’t need you dictating policy for immigration.

Our corporations are some of the greatest bastions of leftist kookery in the world. Are we sure we won the Cold War? The HR department at your city’s largest employer is as left-wing as the faculty at your local university.

The CEOs need to be arrested for breaking our laws. Hiring an illegal is a criminal act.

and that’s how to really end illegal immigration. They won’t come here if there’s no work. Fine and jail employers who hire them.

yeah, Why is that? They benefit from capitalism and yet denigrate it.

That, along with quit giving them welfare, food stamps and every other free handout, would solve the problem.

That means they’ll have to hire and pay real Americans.
That money will stay in this country.
Means more jobs for real Americans
Fake Americans need not apply

It’s long been my observation that the vast majority of CorpAmerica ‘leadership’ belongs in prison. I’ll likely die believing this.

Come forward and let us see you. I would love to change up some of my shopping habits.
