Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us Calls Trump’s Immigration Stance ‘Absurd’

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants is nuts, says FWD.us, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s political advocacy group.

The Facebook founder got name-checked in the CNBC Republican candidates debate Wednesday, as Trump grudgingly admitted calling Florida Sen. Marco Rubio “Mark Zuckerberg’s personal senator” for promoting expanded use of the H-1B employment visas used by Silicon Valley companies.

Trump has argued H-1B visas displace Americans who otherwise might land high-paying tech jobs. He’s advocating restrictions in the program as part of an overhaul on immigration that includes deporting immigrants who lack legal status in the U.S. and walling off the border with Mexico.

Trump Denied Calling Rubio Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘Personal Senator’ — Even Though He Did

FWD.us issued a statement Thursday, saying it utterly disagrees with Trump on immigration issues such as mass deportation. It avoided weighing in on the H-1B visas.

“It is astounding that some in a party that espouses smaller government wants one big enough to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants and millions of their U.S. citizen family members,” FWD.us President Todd Schulte said in a statement. “Mass deportation is absurd on its face and these policies are indefensible on human, economic and political grounds.”

Well I hope Zuck holds onto some of his 35 billion because his product is like trying to hold sand in a colander. FB is a trend and its already losing steam and will eventually go away when somebody comes up with something else cooler. Its a stock that does not represent a product you can hold in your hand. Stocks come and go.

But regardless of who has the most money Mark Zuckerberg is a little progressive millennial who hasn’t got a clue about politics. He wouldn’t last 15 minutes in a business negotiation with Donald Trump. He isn’t on a first name basis with most of the heads of every country in the civilized world and the Mideast. Neither does have the connections, status and power that Donald Trump has.

People pay attention to what Donald Trump says. Zuckerberg, not so much.

lol. Sorry I noticed what’s happening in SV is what happened in Hollywood. Yes, Jewish networking has profound effects on our lives.

Facebook's Founder needs to stop imagining that he is some sort of mediator on all social, political & ethical questions. He has been one lucky puppy, in the way a bad idea caught on; that does not make him a guru on our cultural debate issues. (A bad idea, for all the reasons now coming to light in the wholesale sacrifice of privacy that fuels his bad idea's success.)

If the lucky puppy's undermining of social values would entitle him to some honor other than that of the most notorious voyeur in history, just what might it be?

Obviously, I do not have a Facebook account! But I do know some folk who have learned why not the hard way.

I suspect that Trump is going to bounce the fellow around like a ping pong ball.

He lucked out, playing on the moral decline, which has drawn out exhibitionist tendencies in people who have nothing better to pursue. The exhibitionist aspect of posting on Face Book is what propelled his wealth creation; not any real brilliance. The difference between him and another technician with the same programming skills, is one immensely lucky hit, which has very bad sociological effects on our culture & character.

Zuckerberg is a reprehensible human being: Get rich and screw over your fellow citizens. Hey Mark, if you think that foreigners are so great take your company to India and make a public nuisance of yourself there.

BTW Mark, I will never ever use Facebook.

Zuckerberg is one of those guys who’s brilliant in some areas, and a total idiot in others.

Nonsense.

Excuse me while I go buy tickets for the upcoming Seth Rogen film, a “Christmas” movie by our ancient friends in Hollywood, in which the star vomits during Christmas service after literally mocking the crucified Christ.

What can you expect from such evil, vile, excrement-obsessed people who mock God and Life and equate Life and Natural Rights from God to sodomizing others? It is a vile satanic worldview-—warped-—intrinsically disordered.

Totally irrational and an evil anti-Christian worldview (anti-Age of Reason/Modern Science and US Constitution). They are Marxist utopians.

So one over-the-top, gross-out movie starring a Jewish actor is proof of a Jewish conspiracy in Hollywood?

Again, take your anti-Semitic garbage somewhere else.

I have a bogus Facebook account because you can’t really navigate around it without signing in. What is useful to me on Facebook? Businesses and political outfits with a presence there.
With my phony-fake name-fake profile logon I obviously am not connecting with friends and family there.

An interesting approach. So you are not posting pictures in questionable taste, at least. (Just kidding, but you understand what I am criticizing.)

While the Founder has lucked out, he has created one more cultural sewer in our declining pride in who we are. Your device for getting around the conduct most of our grandmothers would have deplored, does make sense.

Meanwhile, I’m off to see a movie about Nazis, or maybe one about the porn industry, or about how a black scientist saves the world, or an uplifting Tarantino effort.
