White House Courts Business On Immigration For Political Purposes
Investors.com ^ | August 19, 2014 | IBD Editorial

Imperial Presidency: Secret scheming between the White House and Big Business on immigration is all about political cover for unconstitutional executive action. Cheap labor now isn't worth socialism tomorrow.

If high-tech giants such as Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, Oracle and Accenture endorse President Obama's impending executive orders giving amnesty to multitudes of illegal aliens without congressional assent, America will in essence have become the corporatocracy the Saul Alinskys of the world have always claimed they fear.

Politico reports that some of these firms and others are talking with high-ranking Obama aides, the White House's goal being these companies' public backing for some impending presidential edicts.

Imagine lawyers in the White House counsel's office in, say, the George W. Bush administration having a private meeting with more than a dozen business executives about unilaterally changing laws. There would be an outcry that the 1% had hijacked democracy in America.

Work permits for those married to guest workers in technology jobs, and for low-skilled construction workers and the like, as well as an expansion of farm-worker visas, are among the steps being reported.

But there could be much more, because as with nearly everything in this presidency, politics are at the root of it. The speech, no doubt, is already written:

Also remember that the Obama administration is promising kickbacks for the business that cooperate, and harsh tax and regulatory penalties for those who do not.

Yep, kickbacks in the form of stimulus packages, subsidies, tax breaks and who knows what else.

0bama has already laid the groundwork for all of them.

Americans need to boycott every one of these BIG businesses that endorses Barry’s freeloader invasion of the U.S. I’m down for it.

Agreed...They’ll be able to take advantage of 0bama’s cheap labor because of taxpayer dollars going to social welfare programs.

Bingo. There should be a registry of all corporations, businesses, farms and such who employ these amnestisas. Goods and services produced by these entities should not be purchased. This is not a boycott but a way to equalize events. Punishment and reward. The offending entities should be avoided regardless of their future actions. CC

This is a typical fascist ploy to enlist big business to support illegal government activity with promises of benefits to come. But surprise, surprise, history teaches us that as soon as their usefulness is at an end, all business except for the biggest megagiants are the next to be crushed by the fascist regime.

I’m not a big fan of boycotts although I do refuse to do business with anyone who pisses me off. However, these boycotts seems to work very well for the “openly gay” homosexuals, “minorities” and other commie lib ‘RATS. It may be time for conservative Americans to take a page out of the ‘RAT playbook. Many of these BIG businesses would cease to exist if conservative Americans decided to not do business with them anymore.

I quit buying from Target last month when they went pro-sodomy.

They’ve already lost plenty. I used to spend decent money there.

Then let the moneybags in the tech companies pay a 70% tax rate to pay for the government handouts to the squatters. We’ve given until it hurts.

In a boycott you stop using goods and services until the entity changes the target behavior. No boycott. Stop using the goods and services of the entity for good. Substitute for an entity that that displays the proper behavior. If you hire amnestistas you no longer get my business regardless of what you do in the future. There are lots of options out there.

That’s exactly what I do. Once I stop, that’s it. I’ll never be back. I’m known to carry a grudge and I NEVER “get over it”.
