DUNKIN' DONUTS CEO: AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS WILL 'STIMULATE THE ECONOMY'
Breitbart ^

Posted on 10/06/2014 6:16:07 AM PDT by bryan999

On Monday, Dunkin' Brands CEO Nigel Travis said all of the country's illegal immigrants should be legalized.

In an interview on Fox Business, Travis said that comprehensive amnesty legislation "would bring about 11 million more people into the economy." He claimed it "would be a stimulus" because "there's a lot of people who want to work but can't work legally."

Travis also stated that it was "totally appropriate" that there is "a lot of pressure" to make sure "people who work are legal."

"So let's legalize those people," he concluded. "And I think it will stimulate the economy because they'll have the opportunity to earn great wages."

Huh? They are already here, therefore, “will” should be “are”?

Is there a connection?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

The ‘short’ one line says it all -

Think Roman Empire.

It starts when the ‘citizens’ are too lazy to work, won’t pay their own bills, refuse to clean their own toilets, much less get a JOB doing it, refuse to mow lawns, have 4 generations of complete welfare (all forms) dependence and YES, your ‘home grown talent’ will do NOTHING.
Because it is NOT required OR expected of them.

Like trying to tell the kids that aspire to be a Pro Athlete.
Basketball a good example....Probably NEVER more than 500 people (I am being generous) that actually PLAY the game are on Professional (NBA) teams.
Shouldn’t even have to go to School to look at 500 jobs vs 300 million++ people and realize your odds are tremendous that you will NOT play NBA Basketball.
To worsen the obvious, the NBA is recruiting from foreign countries, thereby cutting into the ‘home grown market’.

Another great example is take a Major Police Department and have the local minorities complain not enough of THEM are on the force....Hire THEM and the locals shun THEM calling them sellouts.

A step further to an ‘idiot’ like BO saying he wants a standing civilian ‘army’ and one must wonder (ha) what his motives are.

When you get an all Mercenary, Fighting Force because your own citizens no longer want to serve it won’t be long before those that are supposedly ‘protecting’ you end up being YOUR conquerors.

Think Roman Empire and its fall....

“He wants the population of the USA to increase to say 500 million people so he can franchise more Dunkin Donut stores, sell more sugar laden garbage to diabetics, and he increase his wealth.”

Wonder when Michelle Obama will go after Dunkin for the garbage they are selling?

I won’t hold my breath as the guy is likely a heavy Dem contributor.

Yes, but he is not alone. Likely 90% of our CEO’s agree with him. He is just stupid enough to go public with it.

It’s the Chamber of Comm.....er, Crony Capitalism.

I’m not pickin’ on you....just jumping in....I don’t think this will hurt his business at all.

Americans are too unaware of everything and won’t even hear about this....or they are too stupid to understand the long term implications....or they are fat pigs and just want their junk food and don’t care...or they just don’t want to be inconvenienced.

And these illegals ARE working....they are stealing our social security numbers. They all have jobs. And scum like this CEO all know it and don’t use e-verify....on purpose.

I live about 45 miles from Murrieta and i can say the hand, foot and mouth disease is here in our local schools. Not only is the illegal alien issue a major factor, but many Mexicans who live here travel frequently to Mexico and get their medical treatments met in Mexico. SoCal is already referred to as Northern Mexico.

Hey, Nigel...what’s the point of having any border at all?

FRankly, anyone who eats anything from Dunkin Donuts is an idiot. Their donuts are filled with palm oil (very high in saturated fat) and sugar in the form of dextrose. Dumping this crap into your bloodstream is like dumping a drop of poison in every day. Sooner or later it gets you.

Their "eggs" actually contain some egg, but the stuff they put in their breakfast sandwichs also contains Propylene Glycol which the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry lists as a toxic substance used as antifreeze and a solvent in the paint and plastics industries.

Lastly, their coffee sucks. Go to a nice kiosk staffed by pretty girls working hard to pay for college and get some decent coffee.

American gets the runs on Dunkin.

We have multiple DDs ,in every town ,here on the South Shore of MA. Dunkin has always been my preferred coffee, I hate Starbucks. Well, now I will take my business to Marylou’s. They have spots all over the place and make a good cup of coffee. This is the place that was harassed by the Justice Dept. because they hire primarily young, pretty girls. I think they’re going to see a big uptick in their sales.

.... And let you pay them $3.00 an hour for about a month until Democrats unionize them. Then, your moron, you’ll either pay them $15.00 an hour or close up shop.

I wish I could say I still buy Dunkin’ Donuts, but since Moochelle’s campaign about healthy eatin’, I gave ‘em up.

It’s really dirt that these rich little nothings try to tell everyone else what to do. They know damn well that they are drepressing wages by expanding the labor market beyone it’s need for unskilled workers. What are poor people supposed to do - where will they work when Mexico takes all our labor entry level jobs with their welfare class?

“”Likely 90% of our CEO’s agree with him””


I would think 99.9% of the CEO’s agree with him.

Corporations want a larger population in the USA. It is easier to expand your business in the USA by selling to illegal immigrants (notice how many variations there are of the “Dollar Stores”), than it is to expand into a foreign country.

Corporations like an influx of cheap labor to keep wages down and executive salaries/bonuses high.

Corporations could care less if existing citizens on the lower econmic tier are pushed out of their job by an illegal immigrant who will work for lower wages.

Short answer, they won’t work, as intended.

Welcome to the abbreviated version of the decline and fall of Rome.

Odingo is accomplishing destruction of America at a pace of mere years compared to the Empire of Rome which took centuries of bread and circuses to destroy. Oh, and they still had slaves.

Obama Hussein Caligula—or as a genuine wit posted here recently: Obamatullah.
