Republican Donors Tell GOP Leaders to Back Open Borders And Mass Amnesty to ‘Ease Inflation’

Information Liberation – by Chris Menahan

Open borders and mass amnesty will “ease inflation” — just look at how cheap everything is in California!

From Politico, “Republican donors to GOP leaders: Bipartisan immigration reform would ease inflation”:

More than a dozen GOP donors are trying a new tack in urging Republican congressional leaders to get serious about granting so-called Dreamers legal status: it’ll help ease inflation and the U.S. labor shortage.

In a letter being sent Wednesday to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, 14 donors who call themselves “life-long Republicans” said that reaching a deal on immigration that provides permanent legal status to immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children “makes economic sense.”

“Improving border security and providing a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers is not only morally right; it is also absolutely crucial to addressing labor shortages, reducing food prices and creating jobs for all American families,” the donors wrote in the letter, organized by the American Business Immigration Coalition and shared first with POLITICO.

[…] In April, a bipartisan group of senators — Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) — relaunched discussions on immigration reform. However, they have not reached any breakthrough in those talks. […]

“Until the election is over, they’re going to be a very low-risk group and so we’ll just keep hammering away at them,” one of the signatories, John Rowe, Exelon chair emeritus and a longtime GOP proponent of immigration reform, told POLITICO. “I don’t think the real issue is persuading McConnell and Cornyn … I think the real issue is in showing them it’s safe to have a little courage.”

[…] Craig Duchossois, executive chair of the private investment firm Duchossois Group and another GOP donor who signed the letter, said that “with the division within the country, the odds probably don’t favor” passing immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers.

Politico only tells us two of the 14 donors who signed the letter.

We do know that BlackRock’s Larry Fink is pushing the exact same line.

Politico reported that the GOP’s sellout on gun control is giving donors “renewed optimism” that a mass amnesty could get passed.

Rebecca Shi, executive director of the American Business Immigration Coalition, said the recent bipartisan deal reached on guns, however, renewed some optimism that there is space for both parties to strike a deal on immigration.

Those who signed the letter “are impatient for incremental solutions,” Shi said. “And that’s what we saw this weekend on the bipartisan deal on guns. We … believe that can also happen on immigration with a similar set of negotiators.”

  1. “Improving border security and providing a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers is not only morally right; it is also absolutely crucial to addressing labor shortages, reducing food prices and creating jobs for all American families,”

    1. I’m curious, how is coming here ILLEGALLY “moral”? That makes no logical sense whatsoever.

    2. How does bringing in more people reduce food shortages when we can’t even feed the existing population? Making them work in factories will not help either if the plants themselves are being burnt down.

    3. How does it create more jobs for Americans if there already isn’t any available for the existing population?

    There’s an old saying, “Two WRONGS don’t make a RIGHT.”

    More proof that the political parties are just two sides of the same coin.

  2. How is Mitch McConnell still in office? He looks like he’s got a gun to his head as he’s talking. Whereas Biden always looks demented, McConnell always looks paranoid and ready to pee his pants.

    Is this the elites plan? No young politicians? Keep them old and senile so can they manipulate them into doing anything because they think the people won’t say anything because they don’t want to offend their age?

    Just look at Pelosi. She’s a skeleton. If her eyes were any deeper inside her head, they would need suction cups just to bring them back out. The only young politicians they have are all airheads. Just look at Kamala.
