Wealthy CEOs Lecture Americans To Show ‘Courage’ by Submitting to Diversity and Amnesty
Big Government (Breitbart) ^ | December 14, 2017 | Neil Munro

Posted on 12/14/2017 8:18:10 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Americans should have the courage to ignore their written laws, to amnesty DACA illegals and accept an open-borders world, says an op-ed by two wealthy CEOs who stand to gain more wealth in a labor market flooded by low-wage migrants.

The op-ed by Tim Cook (CEO of Apple, wealth $800 million and growing) and Charles Koch (Koch Industries, $49 billion and growing) was posted in the Washington Post newspaper owned by Jeff Bezos (owner of Amazon, $98 billion and growing). Under the headline “Congress must act on the ‘dreamers,’” it declared:

We must do better. The United States is at its best when all people are free to pursue their dreams. Our country has enjoyed unparalleled success by welcoming people from around the world who seek to make a better life for themselves and their families, no matter what their backgrounds … each successive generation — including, today, our own — must show the courage to embrace that diversity and to do what is right.

For the Union-breaking billionaires, the 690,000 illegal immigrants are not the migrant citizens of a foreign country; they are “our neighbors, colleagues and friends.”

Moreover, the law demands that the immigration laws must be subordinated to a former president’s campaign-trail promise, regardless of the voters’ opinions, the billionaires declare:

Another foundation of our country’s success is our consistent and equal application of the law. In a free nation, individuals must be able to trust that when our government makes a promise, it is kept. Having laws that are reliable is what gives people the confidence to plan their futures and to invest in their businesses, their communities and themselves.

Republicans for cheap labor and Democrats for voting blocks are destroying the country.

I noticed both Cook and Koch live in the U.S.A. using our laws to get rich.

Now they want to ignore laws to get richer.

How about “we” decide that theft, burglary, pillaging etc is okay as long as it it perpatrated against just them?

Funny that they think it’s okay however when we the Average Joe’s are the victims.

Americans need to show courage — by implementing a 20 year moratorium on all immigration. From everywhere.

Cook, Koch, and Bezos can invite MS-13 members to live in THEIR houses. See how THAT goes, billionaires, before you start to lecture US.

“So say the billionaires who build walls around their Estates.”

They really believe that will save them.

Fools.

690,000 that will then each be allowed to sponsor 25 or 30 relatives.

The Koch brothers are not libertarian like I was told.
They are Libertarian. That’s the only excuse I can think of for the open borders nonsense. Regardless, I’m taking them of my Xmas list.

Third world immigration, “legal” and “illegal” is poison. It will kill our nation.

We may or may not have already injected a fatal dose. If Trump can pull the IV drip out of our veins, we might survive.

If it stays in, its all over. The United States of Kalifornia. Forever. No going back.

If we get Amnesty it will be like replacing one IV drip with four. We die quickly.

How about these wealthy CEO’s show courage and hire American citizens, even if it cuts a bit into the dough they stuff in their own pockets?

Showing courage, ha! That would involve the exact opposite, protecting our borders and citizens against the illegal invaders.

Yes, let's follow Obozo's example and just ignore laws we shouldn't like. That's some fine advice from people who are wealthy enough to be exempt from laws.
