Google backs Biden immigration efforts, covers fees in threatened 'Dreamer' program
Reuters ^ | January 13, 2021 | By Paresh Dave

OAKLAND, Calif. - Alphabet Inc’s Google said it would support President-elect Joe Biden’s efforts to pass a new U.S. immigration law and would help cover application fees for immigrants seeking lawful work under a threatened government program.

Google said on Wednesday it would pay for the application fees of about 500 young immigrants seeking employment under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

It comes as Google and other big U.S. employers transition from four years of criticizing outgoing President Donald Trump for restricting immigration policy and undermining the companies’ ability to hire foreign-born workers.

“We will support efforts by the new Congress and incoming Administration to pass comprehensive immigration reform that improves employment-based visa programs that enhance American competitiveness, gives greater assurance to immigrant workers and employers, and promotes better and more humane immigration processing and border security practices,” said Google senior vice president Kent Walker in a blog post.

Walker added Google’s philanthropic arm would donate $250,000 to the organization United We Dream, which helps immigrants unlawfully living in the United States after arriving as children secure work permits and avoid deportation using the deferred action program, or DACA.

Google has in the past teamed with fellow large technology companies when making statements on immigration policy. But only one other tech company spoke out on the issue this week.

Uber Technologies Inc told Reuters it continued to support “Dreamers” and welcomed “the new Administration’s effort to reform our nation’s immigration system.”

The federal government is no longer on our side or in any way legitimate. If “Dreamers” are legalized by the feds, that means nothing to how we should respond to criminals.

All illegals are here illegally (tough concept for democrats, but simple for those with a functioning brain). Even though the feds will not deal with that crime appropriately, we can and should deal with it in a variety of appropriate ways, the mildest of which is to shun illegals and boycott businesses that employ them. Pay extra for a restaurant/contractor that hires Americans, and starve our country’s enemies on the left.

Biden’s Ties To 5 Major Tech Companies (rewards accomplices)
Daily Caller ^ | 1/11/2021 | Chuck Ross / FR Posted on 1/11/2021, 7:04:07 PM by EBH

At least 14 people who (gag) President-elect Joe Biden picked to serve either in his administration or to advise his transition have worked for the Big Tech firms that cracked down on President Donald Trump and Parler, a social media site popular with conservatives.

<><> Apple’s top lobbyist was a chief adviser to the Biden transition team.
<><> A former Facebook executive will serve as staff director in the Biden White House,
<><> a former Twitter executive will serve as chief spokesperson for the National Security Council under Biden.
<><> Current and former Facebbok and Twitterexecs fill other positio ns in the incoming Biden admin, or his transition team.
<><> Google and Amazon execs are in the incoming Biden admin, or on his transition team.

The five tech giants also apparently colluded in acting against Trump and Parler, the conservative social media site.

Once power is fully seized there is always the danger of a runaway regime because a portion of the elitists who manipulated the way into power will actually believe their lies.

No Shiite.

Hiden/Ho promised to give Indians about 10 million green cards, lift all caps on H1B visas and H4EADs, legalize at least 500,000 illegal alien Indians and create a new dreamer category for DALCA Indian kids.

If it was real you can be pretty sure Rudy would have gotten it out before the election.

The fact you can’t see his face should give you a hint.
