The nation’s most influential business lobby urged President-elect Donald Trump on Monday to take a “balanced” approach to immigration and to expand international trade, two areas where the Republican has promised to upend traditional party orthodoxy.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce told Mr. Trump that U.S. companies need to attract immigrants to grow.

Wow. This from the very same group that tried so mightily to defeat Trump.

What's next? The Club for Growth telling Trump how to deal with the trade imbalance?

Maybe Trump can use a strategy similar to the one that he announced for government regulations. That would be “moderate”.

“The U.S. Chamber of Commerce told Mr. Trump that U.S. companies need to attract immigrants to grow.”

We have the lowest labor participation rate in decades, and we need to import workers?

The only thing that the CoC deserves is a RICO investigation.

The Chamber of Commerce wants alien invaders because they can pay them 1/4 of what they’d pay a legal worker. Not only that, but illegal aliens won’t complain when the businesses establish inhumane conditions.

100 million working age Americans without a job.
20% of families with nobody with a job....

Right.....for sure we need MORE illegals, low skill, low education, wannabe free-sh*tters...

If legal American citizens were paid proportionally to the salaries of the 80s to 90s, they could have more children and businesses could grow without the influx of so many immigrants. Idiots

I approve of a moderate course. How about we protect the “rights” of criminals who entered our country illegally by following our existing, moderate laws. Give them a fair hearing, and then fingerprint them, deport them, and permanently bar them from ever reentering our country. That’s moderate enough. If the Chambers of Commerce need more workers, they can bring them in legally and pay them legally, or . . . moderately crazy idea . . . hire Americans.

What’s the balance they’re looking for...a carefully orchestrated dance between national suicide and flaming liberalism designed to obliterate white people while calling the other side racists? Have I got it about right?

Isn’t this the same position GERMANY has taken with the ISLAMISTS?

Yep, workfare. Replace the lost Mexicans trespassers with welfare recipients. They don’t work, they don’t eat. Old school.

Must be tough when they don’t have control or debt to collect.

This is too much. Whatever the CofC wants do the opposite.
