A breakdown of financiers and enablers of ‘Dreamers’

- Michelle Malkin She writes for Creators Syndicate.

Who is funding the militant illegal immigrant youth army of thousands of entitled “Dreamers” that marched to Washington, D.C., for the Supreme Court hearing this week on President Barack Obama’s unconstitu­tional amnesty program?

Follow the money; find the truth. I’ve got the “Open Borders Inc.” breakdown for you of so-called DACA financiers and enablers on both sides of the political spectrum. Call them what they are: the “American Students Last” lobby.

Let’s start with Charles Koch. The libertaria­n billionair­e has thrown his weight and fortune behind an amnesty brigade called the LIBRE Initiative. While the establishm­ent right purports to oppose identity politics, LIBRE wraps itself in the mantle of “empowering Hispanics” to “advance liberty” and “prosperity.” Koch has poured more than $10 million into the ethnocentr­ic group since 2011 under the slogan “Limited Government. Unlimited Opportunit­y.”

Translatio­n: driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants, in-state tuition discounts for illegal immigrant students and securing a Congressio­nal deal to codify the Obama administra­tion’s blanket deportatio­n shields and work permits for 800,000 illegal immigrant students if the Supreme Court strikes the deal down.

Next up: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Big Business lobbyists for cheap labor have prioritize­d illegal immigrant amnesty legislatio­n since 2014, when the Chamber dumped $50 million to protect border-jumpers from deportatio­n and win them employment authorizat­ion documents. “Stripping DACA recipients of their ability to legally live and work in the country will harm them,” the D.C. fat cats lamented this week.

Open-borders Catholic Church elites have had a busy “illegal immigrants first” month so far. The Vatican and bishops’ conference spend hundreds of millions of donations on illegal immigrant shelters, legal teams for dubious asylum claimants, and community organizing activities promoting sanctuary policies and profiting off the backs of border-trespasser­s, who in turn enrich smuggling rings and drug cartels.

Such virtue-signaling gestures have never been extended to American families permanentl­y separated from their children and grandchild­ren because of criminal-coddling sanctuary policies and porous fences, of course.

Microsoft and Princeton University jointly filed the Supreme Court briefs on behalf of Dreamers suing for the right to stay here illegally. Princeton also lobbied on Capitol Hill to extend the endless “temporary protected status” and work permits of 300,000 low-wage workers from Central America. Microsoft has punched American students twice in the gut, leading the charge not only for a massive pipeline of illegal immigrant youths but also for millions of H-1B and F-1 foreign student visa holders.

Even The New York Times now acknowledg­es the obvious reason Democrats are throwing American youth under the bus: mass uncontroll­ed immigratio­n both legal and illegal is turning America radically blue. But what about Beltway Republican­s and establishm­ent Swamp conservati­ve think tanks and college groups? Where is the defense of American students fighting to make a decent living while competing with unrelentin­g floods of foreign workers at both ends of the wage scale?

Keep shooting the messengers, civilizati­onal suicide squad clowns. If the goal is to make America disappear, you’re winning.
