Head of business lobby slams Trump, GOP candidates for immigration rhetoric (US Chamber of Amnesty)
The Hill ^ | 1/14/16 | Lydia Wheeler

The leader of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Thursday assailed the "very loud" voices in the Republican presidential race who advocate "walling off America," taking what appeared to be a swipe at Donald Trump.

While Chamber President and CEO Thomas J. Donohue did not mention Trump by name, he denounced candidates who he said "are attacking whole groups of people based not on their conduct but on their ethnicity or religion."

"This is morally wrong and politically stupid," Donohue said in his annual State of American business address.

Donohoue later denied that his remark was aimed directly at Trump, the front-runner for the Republican nomination.

Donald Trump has forgotten more things about business than this clown knows about business.

Right! Once you start eating from the Government pig trough, you kind of loose the skills to survive in the wild. That is why the Park Service says: “Don’t Feed The Animals!”

You have to admit that Trump makes the right enemies, if nothing else.

The CoC would do well to rid themselves of this guy, although he is probably just doing what the more prominent CoC memebers want him to do.

attacking whole groups of people based not on their conduct but on their ethnicity or religion.

Trump has attacked illegal immigrants and rapeugees based purely and solely on their conduct!

The only people attacked for their ethnicity and religion are Americans and Christians by Idi Obama and the Democrats!

The Cheap Labor Express is really mad that we don’t want to abandon the rule of law and surrender our country so they can have a continuous flow of cheap labor.

Donahue is a scumbag who is dumb enough to think that when he brings illegal aliens here they will work for $5.00 an hour out of eternal gratitude. He is too stupid to realize that ther second they are cleared and registered as Democrats they will unionize and demand double what the American workers whose jobs they took were making.

I call them the Chamber Of Whores. They don’t care that Americans from college grads to people almost at retirement age can’t get work. almost 100 million out of the workforce. The Chamber of Whores is only interested in cheap labor. And they have succeeded, net income is down thousands of dollars and that doesn’t even include the loses to inflation.

Cost of living adjusted its much worse. As long as the Cheap Labor Express can have illegals depress wages and take away from Americans the jobs only American’s are entitled to compete for, this is what make the Chamber of Whores happy.

These people won’t use E Verify and won’t obey the laws, they should be fined, lose business licences and be boycotted by the American people and law enforcement.

Traitor in suits, that is the Chamber of Whores.

Thomas J. Donohue....remember the name of that corrupt traitor, everyone.

I hope the Justice Department of the next administration prosecutes Donohue and his ilk for treason and corruption.

What’s funny Donahue thought he had all his republican puppets in-line which is about all of them, and then Trump came in that blew up his best laid plans. LoL.
