Pro-Mass Immigration Koch Brothers Threaten GOP: Pass Amnesty for Illegal Aliens or Lose Our $$
Breitbart ^ | 24 Apr 18 | John Binder

Posted on 04/25/2018 6:29:56 AM PDT by xzins

The pro-mass immigration GOP megadonor billionaire Koch brothers are threatening Republicans running midterm campaigns, saying they want to see an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens passed or they will “closely evaluate” their aiding and funding of certain candidates.

The Koch brothers represent a number of organizations that purport to be conservative and libertarian-leaning, including Freedom Partners, the LIBRE Initiative, Americans for Prosperity, and Generation Opportunity. The billionaires’ businesses include Matador Cattle Company, Koch Pipeline, and Guardian Industries.

In an interview with The Hill, Americans for Prosperity President Tim Phillips said the pro-amnesty, pro-mass immigration Koch networks would “closely evaluate” their participation in GOP midterm races if those candidates did not help push an amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens who are eligible and enrolled in the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Breitbart News has closely chronicled the Koch brothers’ attempts to not only pass an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens but also keep the current policies of mass legal immigration intact to keep the U.S. labor market flooded and prevent wages for American workers from rising.

The Koch brothers’ agenda of a low-wage economy with mass immigration is at deep odds with Republican voters and Trump supporters. Most recent polling reveals that reducing overall immigration to the U.S. is more important than tax cuts, repealing Obamacare, and even destroying the Islamic State (ISIS).

One out of seven people in the country today, are foreign born. That is the highest percentage in our nation's history. The numbers are so great, that they're overwhelming our ability to absorb and assimilate them into our culture. It's cultural destruction by inundation. America actually needs to halt ALL immigration for at least a quarter century, to give us time to assimilate these people. A half century would be even better

The key to assimilation is not having too many immigrants from any one foreign nation/culture coming in at any one time. Otherwise, they tend to aggregate into ethnic ghetto enclaves that prevent not only the immigrants themselves but their children and grandchildren from assimilating. This is why much of the US southwest is now basically Mexico in everything but name.

In contrast, if an immigrant and hisimmediate family are the only people of his nationality and language in a town, he'll either assimilate very fast or basically starve to death.

I agree. I’ll go a step farther. I think they WANT US to become serfs, too. Their actions prove that they hate the middle class. We are a thorn in their side.

They know that we can't and won't become serfs - the American middle class has all of those pesky, interfering ideas about rule of law, due process, and republican government. That's why we need to be replaced by obedient, docile, and ignorant Third World peasants.

Naturally, the by-product of this is that for every obedient Third World peasant who comes here to mow lawns or push brooms, there's usually a future street thug or gang member in tow, but again, that's not the Koch Brothers' or Mark Zuckerberg's problem - they have their gated compounds and armed private security details to protect them.

The privileged government class will never suffer, nor be in wont for material goods, for as long as they are able to use the power of the state to shelter and protect themselves from either political or natural consequences. Or have you not seen enough to this point to convince you of that reality?

As for us peons? “Let them eat cake.”

The privileged classes, without electricity, would have to learn how to ride big horses with stirrups and handle a jousting lance while encased in armor again. I don’t think they’d be that good at it. Likely some truckers or steel workers would do better and populate the new privileged classes.

True, but that's an ideal level of managed immigration we've rarely achieved in this country. To this day, there are ethnic enclaves in many of our major cities, that began as immigrant ghettos.

Let us not forget that much of the non-assimilation of those foreigners was due to enforced segregation and discrimination by the dominant culture.

That's not as much of an issue today. We've matured as a people, and now welcome those who want to be Americans.

Conservatives need to learn to quit caving to blackmail.

Or we can kiss the America of the Founders, "goodbye."

Corporate Managers & Immigration.

Why do the Koch brothers hate this country and want to destroy it even though it has given so much to them?

The Left's deliberate effort to misdirect attention from the actual realities of human interaction, supported for decades by Academia & the mass media, has had a terrible effect on many who should know better.

Misdirection: Familiar Leftist Approach.

Rather than denounce the Koch brothers, we should tighten the focus on the insanity of not vetting potential immigrants for compatibility with our individualistic heritage. It was never just about money--and the Kochs need to understand that.

More a dose of reality to induce action into the intellectually lazy and politically naive.

” I think they WANT US to become serfs, too.

Yep. The really rich power brokers do not care about the avg person, including middle class folks. They play us for fools and then laugh all the way to the bank when we vote against our own interests.

I’m of the firm belief that you have to take care of yourself (and your family) first and be prepared to face any and all emergencies on your own. Ain’t no Calvary coming to save us.

Don’t get me wrong ... I ain’t going all survivalist ... I’m saying, planning is key to survival. Always has been ... always will be.

Defeatism is never reality. It can become a self-fulfilling reality, however.

No way an immigrant without his share of contributing should get SS. Giving it or welfare to an illegal should shut the program down til that is stopped.
