Rupert Murdoch’s Open Borders WSJ Warns: ‘Bad Sign’ Trump Is Following Jeff Sessions’ Lead
Breitbart.com ^ | 28 Jan 2016 | Julia Hahn

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.”

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.”

...

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.

Damn straight!!!!! Trump is right. How in the hell Americans cannot understand how dangerous open borders are. When fair trade is not fair and we are on the wrong end, it kills our economy and jobs.

Trump for President!

“Trump aligning himself with Mr. Sessions is one of the most encouraging signs about him.”

WSJ Editors are pro-law-breaking.

Shameless.

Labor Supply Increase = Wage Decrease.

It’s Econ 101.

And the WSJ want you to take a pay cut.

It’s for their Big Corporation readership.

Screw America!

Mexicans First!
