The tech-industry-backed advocacy group FWD.us plans to fight Donald Trump’s call for mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, which underpins the billionaire’s 2016 presidential election campaign.
The group, founded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other tech leaders, is looking to mobilize the business and technology communities to speak out against the notion of deporting the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States. (This comes just after Zuckerberg announced he plans to give away most of his wealth to help promote equality.)
“We want to make clear to people what the stakes are, and that we are strongly against the astronomical costs that come with mass deportation,†said FWD.us Chief Executive Todd Schulte.
Immigration has emerged as a central theme of the 2016 campaign, with Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump pledging to build a wall along the Mexico-U.S. border and deport those in the United States illegally (his formal position paper talks only about deporting those who’ve committed crimes).
That position falls outside of the political mainstream, according to a poll of 600 likely general election voters in Colorado, Nevada and Florida released by FWD.us....

It is all about foreign cheap labor. NOTHING MORE. Bring it on.
Take your billions, go buy an island. Start your own country and hire all the illegals. Presto liberal Nirvana!
Am I the only person here who every time I see Suckerberg’s picture, just wants to take him into a dark alley and curb-stomp him?
Americans need to get the hell off Facebook!!
Nope. He's the suggest, smarmyest-looking totalitarian hypocrite on the planet. Incredibly, he's actually worse than Gates or the Google Twins.
Smuggest
These people have Hollywood visions of mass deportations.
Its not how it has to work. You just shut off the in-flow. Enforce the law. Let the chips fall.
This is not that big a deal. You just gotta wanna.
Good idea.
I’m sympathetic to your idea for the simple reason that morons like him will never have to live in the cesspool he wants to create.
No
Zuckerschmuck was made beyond wealthy as a creation of Wall Street. He never earned his wealth. He is simply a symbol of the oligarchy that have their hands on the NY Fed spigot to investment banks that poured a deluge of digitally created money units into their accounts and into FB stock. This creation is disgusting.
Now Zucker’s strings have been pulled to land him squarely in the crosshairs of middle America. He’s a symbol of the oligarchy and he should be made an example of what happens when Americans are treated poorly.
He reminds me so much of the European ruling elitists who don’t care about the suffering of the common people due to their policies of letting animals into their country.
Examples would be the thousands child-rapes in England by Muslims, and what has gone on in Sweden (e.g. rapes in Malmo)
As far as wages go, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM, not”cheap labor”. Government wage controls are ALWAYS DISASTROUS, raising cost of goods sold and thus prices, driving down supply, sending business outside the U.S. and reducing employment opportunities. Did any one mention the Constitution gives the feds NO AUTHORITY to interfere with wages???
Eliminate phony, artificial minimum wage and the demand of illegal “cheap” labor disappears. Just like the failed “war on drugs” creates criminal cartels, so government wage controls creates labor cartels. As with most aggregate problems in our country, THE GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM, NOT THE SOLUTION.
Again, “cheap labor” is certainly not the problem - it allows lower costs and lower prices to you as the consumer.
Multi-zillion dollar PAC masked as a charily. Wonder if the IRS is going to give him a hard time. /s
It’s 30 million.
no
So he wants to fight against the rule of law.
He wants to fight against the law being applied equally to everyone.
Sure, that sounds like him.
After his death like Warren Buffett
“Did Mark say when his 99% of Facebook Stock was going to be given away?”
He’s not giving anything away, he’s transferring it to a LLC. Yes, you read that right, not a non profit, an LLC. Pure meaningless propaganda.
