    The President Of Mark Zuckerberg's Immigration Reform Group Has Resigned

    Joe Green, the president of the tech-backed immigration reform group founded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has resigned from his post at FWD.us, according to a company blog post.

    We saw this post on Politico, though Re/code's Kara Swisher was first to reveal Green’s departure. According to a confidential email sent to Swisher, Green was likely "pushed" from his top spot.

    Todd Schulte, executive director of FWD.us and former chief of staff at super PAC Priorities USA, will serve as acting president.

    Green served as president of FWD.us since it was founded in 2013, but efforts to reform the laws surrounding immigration have since come to a grinding halt, as a result of congressional gridlock. President Barack Obama has said he will consider executive action on immigration after November's midterm elections.

    “While FWD.us has achieved important milestones in the fight to reform immigration laws, Joe and the Board agreed a change in leadership was necessary,” the company wrote in the blog post.

    Tech companies have long advocated for improved immigration laws so they could obtain visas to hire more high-skilled workers from the global community. Some of the tech leaders involved in FWD.us include VCs John Doerr and LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman; Dropbox founder and CEO Drew Houston; and Microsoft cofounder and chairman Bill Gates. You can see all the major contributors to FWD.us here.

    We've reached out to FWD.us about the move, and we'll update the story as soon as we learn more.

    Zuckerberg wrote a letter to major contributors of FWD.us, which follows below (courtesy of Kara Swisher):

    I’m writing to let you know that Joe Green has resigned as President of FWD.us, effective immediately, and that Executive Director Todd Schulte will become acting President. While FWD.us has achieved important milestones in the fight to reform immigration laws, Joe and I agreed a change in leadership was necessary.

    I’m confident that Todd will continue to lead FWD.us’ work. He played a big role in FWD.us’ efforts to support the Senate’s successful passage of a bill in 2013 and the progress we’ve made over the past year. He has been with FWD.us since June 2013 and has been instrumental in building the case for immigration reform in DC. His prior experience as Chief-of-Staff at Priorities USA, the Super PAC supporting President Obama’s re-election, will ensure FWD.us continues its momentum for reform. Todd will continue to work closely with Rob Jesmer, FWD.us’ Campaign Manager, and the rest of the senior staff and team.

    I’ve scheduled a call today at noon PT to discuss this change and for Todd to lay out his plans for the future, including a discussion of FWD.us’ work with the Administration on the possibility of some immigration reform via Executive Action. Please call XXX for details at XXX if you are interested in joining the call.

    Please keep this information confidential until after 12:30pm PT today.

    Mark

    [Listen] Zuckerberg’s Top Amnesty Pusher Forced Out After Admitting the Truth

    A moment of weakness in which one of the socialist Democrats inexplicably told the truth is now coming back to haunt him.
    One of the top amnesty lobbyists in the country, FWD.us president Joe Green has found himself out of a job at the organization he helped to found. The former college roommate of Mark Zuckerberg has been working hard to open up immigration to what he claimed to be the really qualified candidates from overseas.
    The American workers, in Green’s opinion, just aren’t of the quality that can be found beyond our borders. They are also much more expensive, though the faux altruistic Green never bothers to mention that point.
    Along with importing the “good workers” to replace those Americans which need to be idled before their incompetence destroys Facebook and other large companies, they would also be importing just about anyone capable of walking up to the border fence and saying “I want my EBT card.”

    Can it be an accident that FWD, forward was also the campaign slogan for Hussein Obama’s last election, as well as true progressive trailblazers by the names of Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong? No, the only accident was that Green told the truth. Democrats know better.
    As Laura Ingraham points out, Green has a history of making bad decisions.

    Goodbye and good riddance to both Mark Zuckerberg and Joe Green! They should be ashamed of themselves for trying to harm American by trying to pass an immigration reform amnesty bill that the vast majority of Americans oppose according to our collection of hundreds of polls about illegal immigration!
