Americans should have the courage to ignore their written laws, to amnesty DACA illegals and accept an open-borders world, says an op-ed by two wealthy CEOs who stand to gain more wealth in a labor market flooded by low-wage migrants.
The op-ed by Tim Cook (CEO of Apple, wealth $800 million and growing) and Charles Koch (Koch Industries, $49 billion and growing) was posted in the Washington Post newspaper owned by Jeff Bezos (owner of Amazon, $98 billion and growing). Under the headline Congress must act on the dreamers, it declared:
We must do better. The United States is at its best when all people are free to pursue their dreams. Our country has enjoyed unparalleled success by welcoming people from around the world who seek to make a better life for themselves and their families, no matter what their backgrounds each successive generation including, today, our own must show the courage to embrace that diversity and to do what is right.
For the Union-breaking billionaires, the 690,000 illegal immigrants are not the migrant citizens of a foreign country; they are our neighbors, colleagues and friends.
Moreover, the law demands that the immigration laws must be subordinated to a former presidents campaign-trail promise, regardless of the voters opinions, the billionaires declare:
Another foundation of our countrys success is our consistent and equal application of the law. In a free nation, individuals must be able to trust that when our government makes a promise, it is kept. Having laws that are reliable is what gives people the confidence to plan their futures and to invest in their businesses, their communities and themselves.

If true....I am very much disappointed...in Koch Bros...
Out of touch with reality.....lots of money will do that to a person.
I once heard a definition of the term expert as: Anyone, on any topic, more than 200 miles from home.
The shoe is the right size.

After working for a Koch subsidiary for more than five years I can tell you the Koch brothers are not a lot of things they are purported to be.
Wealthy white guys who live in gated compounds and refuse to hire anyone over forty....
Cosmopolitans, globalists on a mission to eliminate nations, boundaries, cultures reduce humanity to one huge global anthill. And they think they are on the side of the angels. Same thing as motivates Merkell, dead set on obliterating German national identity, all for the greater good, of course.
They’re confusing courage with weak and stupid. I doubt they’d follow their own “advice”.
People supporting illegal aliens are just taking advantage of them to make money - slave wages, no osha etc.
Unrestricted immigration just results in balkanization. Sick and tired of the citizens of this country getting the shaft.
This is nothing new. They’ve always wanted slave labor above all else. They could care less about the good of the country or its law abiding citizens. Big Cotton never went away, it just changed industries.
The Koch brothers are not libertarian like I was told.
They are Libertarian.
...
And that means nothing matters more than selfishness.
Someone needs a little Ayn Rand.
Ayn Rand was a rotten personality if there ever was one.
