Chamber of Commerce: We've 'Never' Supported Amnesty (are they feeling the heat??)

On Wednesday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce claimed that it has never supported amnesty, despite vowing to spend at least $50 million to ram through amnesty legislation and oppose anti-amnesty and Tea Party candidates.

"The U.S. Chamber does not support amnesty and never has," Sean Hackbarth wrote on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday.

The Chamber of Commerce took issue with Rush Limbaugh's statement that the Chamber would not finance candidates in 2016 who do not support comprehensive amnesty legislation because Limbaugh, though capturing the gist of the Chamber's stated intentions, did not accurately quote Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue.

Limbaugh recently said on his program that Donohue essentially said, "If you don't do amnesty, you may as well not even nominate a candidate in 2016 'cause none of us are gonna give any Republican any money if they don't do this." Donohue had half-joked earlier this year at the event Limbaugh referenced that the GOP would not win the White House if it did not pass amnesty legislation, and he said he hoped it would be passed in the lame-duck session.

“If the Republicans don’t do it [pass immigration reform], they shouldn’t bother to run a candidate in 2016,” Donohue said. “Think about that. Think about who the voters are. I just did that to get everybody’s attention.” But as Limbaugh noted, the Chamber of Commerce is unlikely to enthusiastically back a candidate who is against amnesty legislation.

Liars!

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, along with the National Immigration Forum, and FWD.us organized a "immigration reform" lobbying blitz.

Others involved in the lobbying effort:

• Al Cardenas, chairman of the American Conservative Union
• Frank Keating, president of the American Bankers Association
• Grover Norquist, founder of Americans for Tax Reform

I canceled my membership to the chambers of commerce. I don’t need to be a member of the Democrat.

In other news, the SEIU’s press secretary: “Members’ dues really aren’t that important to us. All we care about is love.”

Lying liars lie.

The US Chamber of Crony Capitalism is one of the most offensive organizations around....right up there with ACORN

[DisorderOnBorder]

The US Chamber of Communists supports Amnesty...what a bunch of liberal liars

Liar, liar, pants on fire. ESAD Chamber of Commies.

Americans should ask politely which C/o/C companies employ illegals--particularly the ones riding the freight train---swarming in at the border.

CONTACT U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Address: 1615 H St NW,
Washington, DC 20062
Phone:(202) 659-6000

Observing mobs of invaders riding atop speeding freight trains for 1700 miles---one can only conjecture on their hygiene.....nauseating to think of how thay might have handled body wastes.

No running water or flush toilets atop that train.

==============================================

The e-coli threat is a given. The C/o/C will employ these invaders in US industry, in retail stores, in restaurants, handling our food and merchandise.

The deadly E-coli is passed through unclean hands from improper bathroom habits. E-coli has been found on the handles of supermarket carts.

And more----there's e-coli contamination on school buses, school facilities, school supplies, books......and public buses that transported them....and so on.

============================================

US manufacturing, Mexican restaurants, fast food hamburger joints, supermarkets, retail stores, lanscaping.....the contamination could get fierce.

Looks like the Chamber of Commerce learned at the feet of the master who stated “definition of is is”; definition of amnesty is. Bill Clinton is a liar and so is the CoC.

They might as well be Democrats as far as I am concerned. They lie like Democrats.

“If the Republicans don’t do it [pass immigration reform], they shouldn’t bother to run a candidate in 2016,” Donohue said

Now they say they never supported amnesty??

They have supported amnesty like the Wall Street Journal supported open borders since the early 80’s.

They’ve been screaming it loud and clear for YEARS.

Exactly right. Most notably in the Wall Street Journal.
