I know that Sen Cruz has received donations from GS, but I don’t think they’re his biggest donations. (IIRC.)
IIRC, wasn’t the GS donation in the $10K area? Not much, compared to Club for Growth’s and Woodforest Bank’s donations....which I’ve already expressed my concern about, previously ;-)
How do we know that this Sutherland guy has much influence on Cruz? Not saying he doesn’t, but are there any links, etc, specifically to he and Cruz?
Sutherland’s views on immigration are scary as heck, btw.
From your previous Wiki link, on him....
Sutherland strongly advocates liberal immigration policies and mass immigration into the European Union. Sutherland gave his opinion to the UK’s Lords home affairs committee on 21 June 2012 as being (a) that “at the most basic level individuals should have freedom of choice” about working and studying in other countries and that EU states should stop targeting “highly skilled” migrants (and, conversely, placing restrictions on low-skilled migrants). Sutherland also argues (b) that migration is a “crucial dynamic for economic growth” and that this is the case “however difficult it may be to explain this to the citizens of those states”. Sutherland’s stated opinions on policy were (a) that “it was fundamentally important for states to cooperate on migration policy rather than developing their own policies in isolation as ‘no state is or can be an island’”[39] (b) that multiculturalism is both inevitable and desirable: “It’s impossible to consider that the degree of homogeneity which is implied by the other argument can survive because states have to become more open states, in terms of the people who inhabit them” and also (c) that “the European Union, in my view, should be doing its best to undermine” any “sense of our homogeneity and difference from others”.[40]
I’m not trying to badmouth anyone. But I look far and wide for information, trying to steer clear of disinformation, of which there exists a great deal online.
The Lame Cherry blog has some of the best intelligence on the candidates.
