Today the editors of Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal slammed GOP frontrunner Donald Trump for his opposition to the publication’s long-standing support for open border trade and immigration policies.
The Wall Street Journal, like Murdoch, is decidedly open borders. In 1984, the WSJ editorial board wrote, “If Washington still wants to ‘do something’ about immigration, we propose a five-word constitutional amendment: There shall be open borders.â€
Breitbart News has previously exposed how Murdoch is the co-chair of what is arguably one of the most powerful open borders immigration lobbying firms in the country, the Partnership For A New American Economy. Similarly, Murdoch has joined executives at Goldmann Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup in urging Congress to fast-track President Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, which Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) described as the “second pillar†of a President Rubio’s three-pillared foreign policy platform.
“Republicans should look closely before they leap,†the Journal warns voters. The Journal points specifically to Mr. Trump’s recent hiring of Stephen Miller, the brain trust of populist thought leader Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL).
The editors write, “A bad sign is that Mr. Trump has hired as his campaign policy adviser Stephen Miller, who worked for Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.), the most antitrade, anti-immigration Senator.â€
...
More than 9 in 10 Republican voters oppose the immigration policies ushered by Murdoch, Rubio, and The Wall Street Journal. Additionally, only 11 percent of GOP voters think so-called “free trade†deals will improve wages. By a nearly five-to-one margin, Republican voters believe these trade deals championed by Rubio, Murdoch, and the opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal will reduce wages rather than raise them. It is perhaps, in part, for this reason that Jeff Sessions ran unopposed in both his last primary and the general election.

Trump aligning himself with Mr. Sessions is one of the most encouraging signs about him.
FURM!
I agree.
This is disturbing news about Murdock. I view “open Borders” as un American.
Rupert Murdoch is a “natualized” citizen who was born in Australia. Just another reason why The Constitution doesn’t allow anyone but a “natural born” citizen to be president. That rules out the Two Cubans and it should have ruled out Obola and McLame. If Obola isn’t the poster child for this requirement, I don’t know what is?
This is why I canceled my subscription to the WSJ after more than 2 decades. The paper has gone to hell since Murdoch purchased it. The editorial board is as left wing as the New York Times. Open borders, crony capitalism, anti-conservative. And the quality of writing has gone down hill. It’s like they hired a bunch of college graduates who have never picked up a copy of the AP Stylebook.
You can never go wrong siding with Jeff Sessions!
wary inkterestink
trump is shining the light of day on these guys and they don’t like being outted.
Right! Jeff Sessions is the real thing! What Conservative used to be!
Murdoch crying in his beer. What a crock. I guess this is what money does to your brain. Yeah, look at Hollywood.
Hey, the Jihadi’s boots were provided by you, the American taxpayer. That’s your job. To serve the Uni-Party. Islam means “submit.”
“Partnership For A New American Economy”
This is an organization that is wholly dedicated to reducing the average American wage to somewhere near the world average, via labor competition that MUST involve massive immigration.
IOW, its very existence is a threat to the American Middle Class (and, thus, to our way of life).
I’m voting for the person who is most opposed to this traitorous organization.
Trump/Session 2016. Sessions is a very likable person and will deliver the entire South to Trump on a silver platter, freeing Trump to pick off much of the Northeast and Midwest from the Dems. 400+ EVs, a blowout rejection of both the Leftist Dems and the GOPe.
Let Cruz, the pick of many (myself included, until about 2 weeks ago) for VP, be the Attorney General - with orders to investigate and prosecute the Clinton and Obama crime families with the enthusiasm of a starving pit bull going after a steak.
I agree!!
I will take exception in McCain’s case that if the child is born abroad due to 2 citizen parents due to being deployed, the child should be included because of loyalty to country.
“I will take exception in McCain’s case that if the child is born abroad due to 2 citizen parents due to being deployed, the child should be included because of loyalty to country.”
Perhaps, and I will “take exception” to McLame having represented AZ for far too long. There seems to be some serious cognative dissonance in AZ voters where they mistakenly equate being a POW with having the ability to “serve as an elected representative.” He may or may not have served in the miliary with distinction, but he’s been a disgrace in the Senate for years.
