Zuckerberg Launches New Ad Campaign to Push for Amnesty
Breitbart ^ | 11/18/13 | M Boyle

Posted on 11/18/2013 5:20:22 PM PST by SoFloFreeper

Facebook’s billionaire founder Mark Zuckerberg has launched a series of new television ads pushing for Congress to pass amnesty now, Politico reports.

The new ad quotes President Barack Obama, House Minority Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) and House Speaker John Boehner and strikes, as Politico’s Maggie Haberman wrote, a new “tone” for Zuckerberg.

“The ads, obtained by Politico, mark a shift in course for the group,” Haberman wrote. “Its earlier ads — aired through FWD.us and its partisan-leaning affiliates — sought to persuade with a gentler tone, or by offering cover to Senate Republicans who’ve supported immigration reform by highlighting conservative messaging points. The ads also provided reinforcement to Senate Democrats and House Republicans such as Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).”

The new advertisement is called “Why We Wait,” Haberman reported, adding that this ad is “part of a clear shift in strategy by the Facebook founder’s group to apply pressure on the House GOP, especially with the government shutdown over and the legislative calendar fairly open.”

Haberman reported that there are two different spots, one in English and one in Spanish. They will, she wrote, be part of a weeklong six-figure national cable ad buy and part of a longer online web ad buy.

“On the need to fix our broken immigration system, there are signs both political parties in Washington get it,” the narrator of the English version of the ad says in a voiceover.

Billionaire boys with money to burn, try to cram low wage amnesty down our throats--create more mouths for the welfare state while he parties and lives the life of the upper .001%.

Huge lie in the ad:

“Reforming our immigration system would dramatically reduce our nation’s debt, grow our economy by 5.4 percent and take bold steps to secure our borders,” the narrator claims. “On this, both parties say they agree.”

It sounds as though the Zuck might have a guilty conscience about being a billionaire. He’s looking for warm fuzzies from “the little people”. Hey Zuck! You didn’t build that! Give the money back you sleaze!

Given that the rich and well-to-do benefit from illegal immigration (at the expense of the poor and the middle class), this makes perfect sense. Un ultra-rich 0.001%er lobbying for even cheaper labor: cheaper high-skill labor to write code; cheaper low-skill labor to clean his houses and watch his kids.

Immigration reform has always been about GREED.

Sorry, bro.

The focus is firmly on Obamacare and your money is not going to change that - but feel free to spend it.

The immigration system is not broken, it is just our laws are unenforced.

I don’t use Facebook. I have an account and profile, but it’s for relatives only in case something happens or if I’m traveling to see them. I see folks on Facebook just texting “their status” non-stop. Grown folks in their 40s and 50s even. How the Hell did we communicate back in the days before computers? It’s sickening.

Possibly, since he was sued by a classmate for stealing Facebook.

Stole the FB idea, cheated his college BEST FRIEND, then married the DAY AFTER his company went public in a community property state.

NO PRINCIPLES OR LOYALTY AT ALL.

The wealthy and the mega-wealthy know that they can pretty much exempt themselves from any nastiness about their privileged straits if they simply (a) mouth liberal platitudes, and (b) give money to liberal organizations.

Doesn't even take that much money to do the trick. Fifteen or twenty percent of the cost of a private jet will buy them total absolution from the media hive.

Didn’t one of the Facebook boys renounce his US citizenship?

Done for social status and social one upsmanship in Silicon Valley. Who is the most socially conscious on eco-nonsense and immigration gets the most accolades.

Also for cheap labor in general. The Zuckey types have secure estates and send their children to secure elite private schools. They laugh at average Americans and their travails

Somebody just took him aside and whispered the right words to him.
