Billionaire Koch Brothers: ‘Serious Mistake’ to End Welfare-Dependent Immigration to U.S.
Breitbart ^ | Dec. 14, 2018 | John Binder

Posted on 12/15/2018 5:24:02 AM PST by Mr. Mojo

The pro-mass immigration Koch brothers say ending welfare-dependent immigration to the United States would do “serious harm” to the nation and be a “serious mistake.”

President Trump’s administration is looking to implement a policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the mass importation of welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public charge” rule whereby legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the past, including using Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.

The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.

The billionaire Kochs — avid defenders of mass immigration and free trade — are decrying the welfare-dependent immigration ban through their network of organizations.

It's perhaps time to end incorporation of business. For now on let's make it so that business is on its own. The government won't regulate business, but neither will it protect it from lawsuits in the form of incorporation.

Now there's a hell of an idea!

People don't seem to understand that capitalism and corporatism are NOT the same thing.

They sound just like Merkel.

That’s because they ARE GLOBALIST/Open Border/NWO corruptocrats, just like her.

Scary that they’re so OPEN about it.

And these people are not Soros - they fund, and I guess own, the Republicans (at least I whole lot of them). May God help us.

That is also why some groups oppose the $15/hour minimum wage - they don’t want to be priced out of some freebies (which are lost at various income levels for different types).

Many of these imported peons won’t be “laboring” for anyone; they want docile subjects hooked on public assistance and services, nothing more. With the steep drop in white births over the decades, our elites are looking at a future with nobody to dominate.

Privatize the profits, socialize the costs. The Koch brothers own many Rep congressmen. Americans for Prosperity is their front group dispensing their bribe money.

It is curious how these white “elites” seem to believe that a “Brown America” would tolerate “white elites”?

The Chamber of Commerce GOP has ALWAYS been in league with the Left on immigration.

The Koch brothers aren’t twins: one is more conservative than the other.

When my parents immigrated to the US in 1950 they had to sign that they would not be a burden on ANY government. Couldn’t get a green card unless my dad could show he had a job waiting for him. The sponsor was responsible for them financially.

I used to admire the Koch brothers. Now, not so much.

The US taxpayer has been subsidizing the Koch brothers’ businesses for decades by giving welfare benefits to their illegal workforce. It’s cheap for them, but costs $70,000 for each illegal for us. It’s way past time to start deporting their illegal workers.

Somebody (maybe Coulter or Carlson) said these people were willing to fill our neighborhoods with these imports while their own neighborhoods still resembled 1950s America.

A “brown America” will be funded politically by white elites, so they’ll do their bidding; just look at Obama. Also, that horse-teethed barmaid in Queens; they set her straight quickly.

The Koch’s have been controlling the Bush League Republican agenda.
Open borders and amnesty are what they are all about.

We need to stop the bleeding from this particular wound, as it, once started, seems difficult to staunch, because it leads to generational dependency, inherited as surely as wealth.

Poverty is a state of mind, not of money. Once the mindset is established, the wish to live above one’s station in life throttles any chance, ever, of pulling oneself out of the endless morass.

These EVIL, WICKED rich men don’t give a d _ _ _ about our country, preserving our nation, or PROTECTING its CITIZENS; THE ONLY THING THEY CARE ABOUT IS MONEY AND PROTECTING, AND PRESERVING THEMSELVES AND INCREASING T H E I R PERSONAL FORTUNES AND INTERESTS.

Almost all these nouveau rich billionaires are guilt ridden and ought not to be taken seriously politically. However they have great wealth, can and do influence people. IMHO they are overplaying their hand ( Steyer, the Kochs, Bloomberg, Soros, Gates etc). Historically it often does not end well for such wealthy people.

It’s funny how the Kock Brothers were once touted as “Right-Wing” at one time. Is this what modern Libertarianism embraces?

The Koch brothers aren’t right, left, or libertarian. The Kochs are robber baron, no different than the railroad tycoons of the 1800s, who imported Chinese by the boatload to blast their throughways, staff their mines, and bring in the opium to keep their subjects pliant and submissive.
