Globalist Business Groups with Koch, Bush Ties Dominate Immigration Talks at White House
Globalist-aligned business organizations with ties to the billionaire Koch brothers, the Bush dynasty, and Republican plutocrat donor class have dominated talks at the White House over a larger legal immigration deal.
Plans to overhaul the legal immigration system — where more than 1.2 million legal immigrants are admitted to the U.S. every year — have been led in the White House by adviser Jared Kushner and Brooke Rollins, formerly of the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
As Breitbart News has reported, White House officials have floated two immigration deals in the last month: One that would give amnesty to nearly two million illegal aliens and another that would expand businesses’ ability to import foreign workers instead of hiring qualified Americans.
The groups consulted over the larger immigration deals include:
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
The Heritage Foundation
Association of Builders and Contractors
Faith and Freedom Coalition
Council on National Policy
George W. Bush Center
Select Milk Producers
Texas Public Policy Foundation
Americans for Prosperity
Libre Initiative
League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC)
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
Business groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Association of Builders and Contractors, and the Koch brothers’ Koch Industries have opposed any cuts to legal immigration levels to boost Americans’ wages and prefer expanding employment visas so businesses have easy access to cheaper, foreign labor.
The Association of Builders and Contractors, for instance, have supported making it easier for foreign nationals to obtain green cards in the U.S., along with advocating for market-based visas where foreign workers would be allowed to take U.S. jobs so long as American industry claims there are no Americans available to fill working and middle-class jobs.
Advocacy groups like the George W. Bush Center, the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity and the Libre Initiative, LULAC, and the Texas Public Policy Foundation likewise have backed policy initiatives to make it easier for employers to outsource U.S. jobs to foreign workers, amnesty for illegal aliens, and an expansion of already historically high legal immigration levels.
The George W. Bush Center recently promoted plans that would allow businesses to import foreign workers as they wish, bypassing America’s working and middle-class workforce and depleting growing blue-collar U.S. wages.
