Several corporate executives have joined forces with prominent local lawmakers, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, and George Soros’ National Immigration Forum (NIF) to organize a campaign on Monday to target GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill to get them to try to support amnesty.
Those executives include Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, Boeing CEO and chairman Jim McNerney, Marriott hotels chairman and CEO Bill Marriott, NewsCorp chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch, and Disney president and CEO Bob Iger.
Ballmer, McNerney, Marriott, Murdoch, and Iger, along with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro form the “Partnership for a New American Economy.” That group, along with Zuckerberg’s FWD.us and Soros’ NIF, are paying for activists to make it appear to lawmakers as though there is conservative support for comprehensive immigration reform in America. They are conducting a “fly-in” campaign, where those special interest figures will be paying to get people who support their position on immigration reform up to Capitol Hill on Monday to pressure House GOP lawmakers to support such a plan. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is also reportedly supporting the effort.
Ali Noorani, the executive director of the Soros-funded NIF, told Bloomberg News that the effort will bring in 600 activists who plan to have personal meetings with at least 80 House Republican members. Michael Bloomberg, as the Bloomberg News article highlighting the effort notes, is the majority owner and founder of Bloomberg News’ parent company, Bloomberg LP.
Noorani told his pro-amnesty partner’s publication that he will attempt to make it appear as though the conservative movement supports amnesty. “When was the last time that you saw the conservative movement calling for something? Most of the time it’s, ’Stop this,’” Noorani said. “No Republican member really wants to do this, but...

Ha, I just KNEW Shep Smith was undocumented...
So Corporate America is in favor of smuggling and lawbreaking in general?
Then who gives a damn about property laws, which they benefit the most from. Let’s just take their property, redistribute it to Americans.
McNerney the Yale lawyer can move to Mexico and build Aztec airplanes for all the world to buy.
Remember months ago they were running those ads ‘Conservatives for immigration reform’ ?
Wouldn’t in be easily to move your business there rather to move the labor here?..
Yep.
How many RINO’s will pretend that these really are conservatives?
A small House bill ‘only’ to ‘fix’ the H1-B program is the best chance to act as the camel’s nose under the tent. Enough Reps may be bought off to send such a ‘limited’ immigration bill to the Senate. It is there that Harry Reid will strip everything but the title and substitute his WH-approved comprehensive language. At that point we are in grave danger.
Bingo, Once I saw Julian (HUElian) Castro (mayor of the slowing liberal turning city of San Antonio) is on the path to be a big time player in the liberal party. He’s dedicated to get amnesty for the illegals that are constantly a growing stigma on the landscape of America. He wants amnesty so ‘’his people’’ will be given the right to vote( regardless of their ability to speak English or fill out an official form. We have 9 million people here in America who have trouble finding work or have given up looking(some now have taken up residence either on a subway car or in the shadows of the underground. Now he and others (who will prosper with another amnesty program)are going to put pressure on Congress( how exactly will this be done?) to inflate the liberal party. At what point do we stand up and say NO MAS !!
Too bad the leftheads who are figuring out conservatives were right about Obamacare can’t figure out we are right about illegal immigration and amnesty, global warming, and gun control. Imagine how much trouble they could save us and them and this country, if only they would open their minds, and listen to the truth.
Add Benghazi, the IRS, and a multitude of other issues to your list!
Castro should be deprived of his alleged U.S. citizenship.
He’s a Mexican Nationalist, a Separatist, who wants to return Texas - and all the Southwest - to Mexican control.
If they can’t do it with guns they’ll do it by demographic facts on the ground...in other words, Mexican population majorities.
Amnesty is not just a threat to job statistics, it’s a knife in the heart of America. It’s intent is to ultimately overthrow U.S. control of U.S. territory, which is Treason.
And Julian Castro and his Mama are definitely guilty of that. We KNOW what people and country they are loyal to.
Houston, Austin and Crockett are rolling in their graves. And Santa Anna is laughing and sneering.
“Amnesty is not just a threat to job statistics, it’s a knife in the heart of America. It’s intent is to ultimately overthrow U.S. control of U.S. territory, which is Treason.”
Which is why LaRaza should be outlawed. Instead they’re in the White House.
Murdoch and Soros working together.....and we still have Low Info Voters on here who claim Fox News is “conservative”
If these corporate paymasters can shove another Obamacare down are throats, then the Republic is in peril. Crony capitalism is growing as the government takes over more and more of the economy. Government--federal, state, and local--controls over 40% of GDP. We are at a crossroads.
You left out legal immigration, which is a bigger threat than illegal immigration. Every ten years we have what amounts to an amnesty with 1.2 million legal immigrants entering annually. They are essentially the same kinds of people coming illegally, i.e., poor, uneducated, and unskilled.
Maybe
Or they know that this is their last shot till the next congress 2015. The Holidays are coming up and then its election year 2014 and few deals will be made in that climate.
And seeing a Senate bill with all the crap in it has wet their appetite.
I would think that many in HOUSE GOP don't want to give Obama anything now.
I’m all for going back to pre 70s immigration policies, and expecting immigrants to contribute to the economic and intellectual progress of the US, and adapt to our culture. It isn’t forgotten by me, but we need to knock some common sense about illegal immigration into the dying minds of America before traumatizing them with the bigger truth of immigration damage.
The question is whether there are enough of them. Many if not most want an increase in the guest worker program. The Judiciary Committee has already passed out a bill that will do that.
All Boehner has to do is put many of these bills on the floor and a combination of RINOs and Dems will pass it. Boehner only needs about 25 Reps to vote with the Dems. We already had 14 Rep Senators vote for the terrible Gang of 8 bill.
