Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's immigration reform group announced a new ad Thursday, the same week Zuckerberg made a rare public speech on the topic...

It was bad enough when the puerile Zuckerberg was showing his solidarity with Trayvon Martin by running around in a hoodie. Now he's agitating for amnesty for illegals using the oldest, sleaziest trick in the book: the touching anecdote. We hear about the illegal immigrant who wants to be a Marine, or who becomes the high school valedictorian. We don't hear about the typical ones: the indigent, the criminal, the exploiters of our emergency rooms and various social services.

Of course, what else can you expect from Zuckerberg? His "technological" innovation in creating Facebook was virtually nil. It was all about marketing, as is the amnesty scam that's being pulled off on us.

Could you please add an apostrophe to “Facebook Founder’s” in the title? I missed it when posting the article.

As I posted on a another thread: Zuckerberg is a leftist putz, and I refuse to use his Facebook.

I have yet to figure out what, if anything, Facebook and other social media gimmicks can achieve that traditional websites and email lists cannot.

Mostly, it seems like a faddish way for exhibitionist, narcissistic adolescents of all ages to show themselves off. So it's no wonder Zuckerberg himself prances about town in a hoodie.

Why are they so dam anxious to let millions of CRIMINALS suddenly become citizens (and voters)

For leftists, the answer is simple. They hate America and its culture, and what better way to dilute and destroy it by importing millions of third world peoples with a different language, culture, and way of life. Plus, there's the added bonus that once given citizenship, the lion's share of these people will vote for Democrats.

For the castrated GOP "right", the answer is more complicated. Some of it is just a short-sighted desire for cheap immigrant labor (ignoring the fact that people who earn minimum wage and have huge families consume more than they contribute to the economy). The rest is just a desire to prove to the mainstream media that they aren't "nativist, racist, xenophobic..." etc.

Zuckerberg is also a fan of Obamacare, and held large fundraisers for Dems during the 2012 cycle.

Cause they know they will get crushed without them.

What does a tech thief know about what is good for this country? Another elitist who thinks their opinion is more valuable than anyone else’s.

Democrats who support amnesty are traitors, but at least they're rational traitors. They'll win elections with these people.

Republicans who support amnesty are guilty not only of treason, but of stupidity and political suicide.
