Koch Brothers: Trump is ‘Wrong,’ It’s ‘Morally Right’ to Import Foreign Welfare Dependents
Breitbart ^ | 10/14/2018 | John Binder

Posted on 10/14/2018 5:20:57 PM PDT by E Pluribus Bellum

The pro-mass immigration, GOP megadonor, billionaire Koch brothers are opposing President Trump’s initiative to save American taxpayers from having to subsidize welfare-dependent legal immigrants.

Since February, Breitbart News has reported how the Trump administration is set to enforce an existing law whereby foreign nationals seeking to permanently resettle in the U.S. would need to prove that they will not become drains on the American taxpayer.

...

Freedom Partners Executive Vice President Nathan Nascimento said in a statement that mass migration welfare-dependent foreign nationals to the U.S. is “morally right,” calling Trump’s reform “the wrong approach.”

“We should always welcome people who desire to come here and contribute because is it both morally right and their efforts benefit our nation, economy, and taxpayers,” Nascimento said.

Koch brothers want slaves, not employees.

The Koch Brothers are NOT pro-America. They are pro-Koch Brothers. PERIOD.

This is ONE topic my goofball LibTard Sister and I agree on, 100%.

And pretty much the only one, LOL!

Why no.
I do not recall when "everybody took the Koch Brother's side." The reason, of course, is that that never ever happened on Free Republic.

I do, however, vividly recall Freepers who took the exact position that the Koch Brothers are echoing now, and were activists for that exact same position.

How dare I say that?

Because I and a contingent of other national sovereignty hawks refused to vote for McCain or for Romney over this very issue. If too many millions of illegal protocomunists come here and are given the vote the country I fought wars for will effectively cease to exist. We explained this to those who insisted that any Republican was always better than the Democrat. Not always.

I believe that the phrase that was used was that not voting for those two open borders sh!theads was "Voting for Obama" as if the same policy would have a different consequence if implemented by someone else. Actually, it would have, in that the Republican Leadership would have destroyed the credibility of the Republican Party, and getting a Reformer like Trump elected as an independent would have been harder.

For the record, I voted for Alan Keyes and then for Herman Cain. Protest vote? Not merely a protest. The pro Illegals in the Republican Party had to lose credibility as to being able to win elections at all with their candidates, and if things fell apart from the Democrats advancing their agenda to quickly we would still have enough patriots to win a civil war.

I knew what I was doing, and so did many other veterans who have views formed by the same training and experiences.

If I die and you die, and my children and your children all die in a war agaimst communists here in the United States, that is still better than being alive in a slow slide to authoritarianism.

You can try to remember whatever makes you happy to remember, but you might do better to search back to those old long ago threads. You will find that even in the Bush years people understood where this would inevitably lead and were vehemently opposing it.

It didn't take a rocket scientist to understand, rather it took an Ostrich to ignore it. An angry ostrich that got upset and posted pictures of cats wearing tin foil hats when the unpleasant truth was explained to them by people with the training and experience to comprehend.

“Koch Brothers: Trump is ‘Wrong,’ It’s ‘Morally Right’ to Import Foreign Welfare Dependents”

Define “morally right.”

The Kochs are reported to be Catholics that believe in abortion and something called gay “marriage.”

I'm not sure I know enough about the Koch's belief system to buy into their occasional moral pronouncements.

If anyone can point me to where the Koch's have explained their moral underpinnings I would like to know more.

Wait a second. I thought the Koch brothers were buying and paying for Trump and he was completely under their control? I can hardly wait for the leftists to admit they’re wrong. </sarcasm>

Enemies within. There is,unfortunately, a large contingent within the Republican party that has NO loyalty to Country or Law, but to their own greed.

I never liked these fools.

Not with other people’s money, it isn’t. That’s theft, unless they explicitly consent.

This is the kind of s—t we seem to get only from wealthy Republicans. I think we should reconsider blindly defending business and wealthy tax cuts until they change their mind over some things like open borders. They should start buying media properties like elite Democrats do and that is another issue I have with them. We accomplish nothing else except take care of them!

Can he explain why?!?!?!

Unlike typical taxpayers, the Koch brothers most likely have not for some good amount of time felt any discomfort when paying their IRS bill.

They may be fully indifferent to the fact their charitable attitude may cause the rest of us discomfort.

Fine. Let the Koch brothers pay a federal tax rate of 99.999%, no deductions, to pay for all the welfare.

Same deal for all other liberal millionaires and billionaires, including Zuckerberg, Gates, Soros, Stoyer, Bloomberg, Spielberg, Bezos, etc.

So these two old pedophiles think it’s okay to steal money from the paychecks of American workers and give it to foreign freeloaders too cowardly to fight for their own country?

“We should always welcome people who desire to come here and contribute because is it both morally right and their efforts benefit our nation, economy, and taxpayers,” Nascimento said.

Now we know why the GOP went off the rails. With billions of Koch dollars in payments to those who betray real Americans, it's easy for them to follow the gravy train. As for me, no, thank you. Those who come here to live off welfare are not contributing; they are parasites. We have enough democrats already.

The Koch Brothers have never, ever, hidden their position on this particular issue.

The sad part is that REPUBLICANS are taking his money and doing his bidding. They are as bad as Soros. Wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t socialize together.
