Jeff Bezos’ WaPo: ICE Raids Are ‘Cruel,’ Businesses Need Illegal Alien Workers
Breitbart ^ | 12 Aug 2019 | John Binder

Posted on 08/13/2019 6:08:29 AM PDT by PapaBear3625

The Washington Post, owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, who is also the CEO of Amazon, released an editorial this week blasting the enforcement of national immigration law as “cruel” and said U.S. businesses should not be deprived of employing illegal alien workers.

In an editorial in the Washington Post, the editors wrote that the recent raids on seven Mississippi food processing plants by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were “cruel” and “pointless” despite arresting and identifying 680 illegal workers, including more than 200 who had previous criminal records. About 300 of the illegal workers arrested were released that same day on “humanitarian grounds.”

Sounds like Bezos may be nervous about what happens if ICE takes a good look at Amazon's fulfillment centers.

It used to be illegal to hire illegals. Is that still the law or not?

Probably the dumbest statement this billionaire has ever made.

Bezos has way more money than he needs, according to the god of Democrats, Barack Hussein Obama.

If Bezos keeps banging the drum for more illegal aliens to take jobs at Amazon, we should break the habit of spending money at his companies.

It is RACIST to impose SLAVE WAGES on LEGAL immigrants and minorities by importing cheap, ILLEGAL LABOR.

Jeff Bezos’ WaPo: ICE Raids Are ‘Cruel,’ Businesses Need Illegal Alien Workers

I've been hearing about the need for illegal aliens by US businesses since I was a kid, and American business lobbying has had a lot to do with the lack of any meaningful border wall since I was a kid. If American businesses cannot operate without breaking the law, those American businesses are not fit to exist and should file for dissolution.

Businesses “need” low-skill, low-wage, illegal immigrant workers?

Well, that is a pretty crappy business model. Maybe those places should close up shop.

If the services they provide are that vital to the economy as a whole, then either the processes have to be much more fully automated than they now are, or the economy shall have to adapt to not making use of that service.

Economic Darwinism.

So, I’m the richest man in the world because I exploit my workers, is that what he’s saying?

And illegal aliens are even more exploitable, since they don’t complain and that allows companies to make more profit?

“Plantations need their slave to continue functioning economically.”

That is what Bezos effectively said.

Are we not paying a lot of people to not work via snap, etc.?

Maybe they should work. Just sayin’.

Yeah, not only fulfillment centers. Amazon loves its H1B Indians and Communist Chinese. It’s about time they are sent home. Remember Bezos whined about Trump’s continuing ban of people from shithole countries? What, no American Engineers available to fill these jobs? (of course not, American Engineers are forced to work low-paying grocery store and other menial jobs to survive.

He’s the richest man who ever lived. He can afford *union* wages and not even miss it.

PDJT is only doing what was done in the late 1800’s when immigrants from Europe coming to this country HAD TO HAVE SPONSORS.
