REVEALED: THE TECH SECTOR'S PERMANENT CAMPAIGN FOR AMNESTY
SANTA MONICA, California -- FWD.us, the immigration reform initiative founded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, plans to launch a massive political push in December to support President Barack Obama's planned executive action on immigration. On Tuesday evening, it brought roughly 100 entrepreneurs to a "mini-hackathon" at tech incubator Cross Campus as part of a nationwide push to support the president's strategy. Though FWD.us declares that its mission is "to advocate for policies that will make the American dream achievable in the 21st century economy," its main focus is immigration reform, which it describes as necessary both for economy growth and to "live up to our American ideals." The group includes tech heavyweights such as Microsoft's Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates; Google's Eric Schmidt; and former Napster founder Sean Parker.

They can do what they want, I will hire who I want and I hire American.
THE TECH SECTOR loves a sweat shop
Are they for amnesty? I know they are all over H1B visa program expansion. Amnesty would just give them Mexicans with eighth-grade educations. What use would they be?

I don’t believe the tech sector loves sweatshops. Do you?
I do believe these owners/board members/CEOs have huge egos and want to be admired for their ‘philanthropy’.
I’ve been in the semiconductor industry for 25 years and haven’t seen a sweatshop. I’ve worked with facilities in Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan, Phillipines, Friesing, Thailand, Shenzhen, Portugal, Italy, Nice, Ireland, and Mexico as well as plants in the US.
What I can believe also is that the H1B program can be a jop trap for legal immigrants.
Bringing in illegals for tech jobs makes no sense.
zactly
It’s very simple. The Facebook founder and those on the FWD.US immigration agenda are NOT REALLY concerned about “immigration reform”, because true and needed immigration reform is not about and does not need amnesty, nor does getting the LEGAL immigrants the nation needs require amnesty.
They are all liars because if they weren’t they would admit that what is delaying real immigration reform is that it is being held hostage to amnesty.
They don’t want them for employees.
They want them for Dem voters.
If these billionaires stood to gain just .1% more by making you have 50% less?
They would DO IT.
They loathe you. They loathe me.
Funny how the list is made up of some of the dumbest people in the Tech World.
MS upper management was totally clueless for decades on the problems with Windows and addressed them by hiring cheaper workers.
Facebook CEO is just a kid who stole his idea from MySpace.
You DON’T see the true heavy lifters of Silicon Valley on the list.
That’s what I always thought as well that this dude ripped off MySpace. I think Zuckerberg started FB a year after MySpace went on line. One theory I heard is idiots like this guy embrace leftist causes because the leftys in government give them tax breaks so they kiss leftist butt.

“Are they for amnesty? I know they are all over H1B visa program expansion. Amnesty would just give them Mexicans with eighth-grade educations. What use would they be?”
You’re right, all they care about is H1B’s. But the Democrats care about adding millions of new voters and have made it PERFECTLY CLEAR to these tech weanies that the ONLY WAY to get their precious H1Bs is to also legalize and grant Amnesty to the millions of Mexicans and others that are here. In other words, it’s all or nothing...and the tech weanies are too busy getting rich with their boyfriends to care about the future of the country, so they have chosen “all”.
Obama's bargaining chips. Basically Obama held the tech sector hostage and said, if you support amnesty for uneducated and illiterate turd world illegal aliens, I'll support increasing the number of H1B visas.
