Chamber of Commerce launches immigration-focused ad campaign for Texas candidate
The Hill ^ | 06/02/18 | Max Greenwood

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is hailing Rep. Will Hurd's (R-Texas) support for young undocumented immigration in its first-immigration focused campaign ad of the 2018 election cycle.

"Will Hurd is fighting to protect the Dreamers," the ad, released on Thursday, says. "He's also leading the charge for new border security measures that will keep our communities safer. Will Hurd is working for all of us."

The term "Dreamers" refers to beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which temporarily shielded young undocumented immigrants from deportation and gave them permission to work in the U.S.

President Trump rescinded that program last year, although a court order temporarily protected it. Hurd is among a group of moderate Republicans pushing Congress to pass legislation extending protections for dreamers.

The United States Chamber of Commerce (USCC) is a business-oriented American lobbying group. It is not an agency of the United States government.

Politically, the Chamber usually supports Republican political candidates, though it has occasionally supported conservative Democrats. The Chamber is the largest lobbying group in the U.S., spending more money than any other lobbying organization on a yearly basis.

Chamber of Commerce: We support illegal labor at slave labor prices.

Chamber of Commerce: U.S. taxpayers subsidize our cheap illegal labor.

Hopefully there is a Trump Republican to challenge Hurd, else let him lose and be replaced temporarily by a Democrat.

You are probably going to get flamed for saying that, but I agree.
In some districts it will become necessary to throw the seat to a Democrat for two years to get rid of entrenched Bush League Republicans.
They don’t mind throwing races to Democrats to keep US from electing anyone that would side with US.
They have done it several Senate races that are six year terms.

If we need more labor, we need to employ more robots - the last thing we need is more illiterate, low IQ unskilled workers.

No, I don’t. I’m less than sixty years old so if they were ever respectable it was longer ago than that.

I do remember when few people paid enough attention to their actions to be disgusted by them, but that isn’t the same thing,
