Hundreds of CEOs Demand Dreamer Amnesty Shortly After Promising Tax Cuts Will Help American Workers

FULL TITLE:Shameless: Hundreds of CEOs Demand Dreamer Amnesty Shortly After Promising Tax Cuts Will Help American Workers

Corporate America is not leaving it to lawmakers and the White House to reach a deal to determine the fate of millions of illegal foreign workers whose temporary permission to work in the U.S. is set to expire early this year.

Instead, more than 100 corporate leaders are demanding immediate and permanent amnesty for millions of so-called “Dreamers.”

Just days after President Donald Trump hosted Democratic and Republican lawmakers at the White House to discuss legislation that would authorize funding for a border wall and end chain migration while also providing legal protections for around 700,000 foreign workers under the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, corporate leaders have signed a letter urging lawmakers to enact a dramatically expanded amnesty program.

Although the letter cites the potential end of DACA as a reason for urgent action, it calls for a much broader amnesty program that would include all the so-called “Dreamers,” a broader group than the 700,000 DACA recipients. By most estimates, the broader group would include millions of illegal foreign workers rather than hundreds of thousands.

Why is it that the wealthy often become liberals?

Wealth and power insulate people from the damage done by liberalism. The elites in their gated communities don't have to deal first-hand with the downside consequences of liberal policies.

This is especially true on the immigration issue. As far as the elites are concerned, mass immigration allows them to find a guy to mow their lawn or a girl to clean their house for less than an American. It's the rest of us that have to deal with the crime, poverty, and social decay that result from third world immigration. Similarly, the jobs of CEOs (like those of politicians and media talking heads) are secure - they'll never to outsourced to an Indian call center or replaced by a cheaper guest workers.

AFTER the wall is 1) fully funded, 2) wall completed, or 3)idenify a non-congressionally approrpiation source , then and only then the DREAMERS should be discussed.

THE ONLY REASON THIS IS SUCH AN URGENT ISSUE FOR THE RAT PARTY IS THEY NEED THESE ADDITIONAL 800,000 VOTERS FOR THE 2018 ELECTION!!! I personally don't care if the ILLEGALLY Obama issued EO is expiring in the next few months. Hey libtards - this is what you get when you put your faith on illegal issuances from the first halfrican who sat in the WH illegally.

"Why is it that the wealthy often become liberals?"

For one, because many of them don't work with their minds to solve physical problems or with their hands to build or repair things. That's also increasingly true about people of lower income levels in a throwaway economy of import recipients.

To clarify in a more general sense, they’re more out of touch with physical realities. Money is “earned” in rather abstract ways. Earning becomes a game that includes lobbies for receiving and keeping more money that would otherwise go to other special interests.
