Jeb Bush Begs Donald Trump: ‘Come to DACA’s Defense’
by CHARLIE SPIERING

Failed presidential candidate Jeb Bush wants President Donald Trump to save former President Barack Obama’s executive decree offering temporary amnesty to illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children.
“Come to DACA’s defense, Mr. Trump,” Bush wrote on Twitter, sharing a link to a Miami Herald editorial. “With Presidential leadership, this can be resolved.”
The emotional editorial recalls Trump’s assertion to deal with DACA recipients “with heart,” urging him to keep it in place.
“Trump can terminate DACA with the stroke of a pen,” the editorial reads. “That would be a shameful mistake.”
The editorial cites a left-wing study from the Center for American Progress showing the economic contribution of illegal immigrants benefiting from the program.
“Condemning them to possible deportation would be heartbreaking,” the editorial declares.
The editorial advises Trump to leave the Obama-era program intact and to defend it in court, despite a legal challenge led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Jeb Bush Backs Silicon Valley, Democrats, in DACA Challenge Against Donald Trump
by NEIL MUNRO

Establishment GOP champion Jeb Bush — and Donald Trump’s chief rival in the 2016 primaries — has openly allied with Democrats and Silicon Valley’s billionaires by supporting President Barack Obama’s DACA amnesty for 800,000 illegals.
Bush revealed his views in a tweet which touted the Chamber of Commerce claim that more migrants allow member companies to expand and hire more people:
Jeb Bush, Jr. ✔ @JebBushJr
Suspending #DACA renewals=avg of 1,400 jobs lost each business day 30,000 jobs lost each month #PassDreamAct #DreamAct @FWD_us @MiamiHerald
6:41 AM - Aug 31, 2017
The DACA program is in danger because candidate Trump promised to end it on “Day One,” because a group of 10 state Attorneys general has announced a pending lawsuit, and because Trump needs to pressure Democrats legislators and business lobbyists to accept his pro-American “RAISE Act” merit immigration reform.
The economic data cited by Bush is based on claims made by the open-borders, cheap-labor CATO Institute, the Democrats’ Center for American Progress and Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us, which has been derided by opponents as the “billionaires’ liberation front.”
According to its website, “FWD.us is mobilizing the tech community to promote policies that keep the U.S. competitive in a global economy, starting with fixing our broken immigration system and criminal justice reform.” The group was formed to push through the 2013 “Gang of Eight” immigration and amnesty bill because Democrats refused to help increase the flow of foreign tech-workers to CEO’s companies unless the CEOS backed their push to win citizenship for Democratic-leaning Latino and Asian illegal immigrants. That bill would have shifted more of the nation’s economic annual income from employees over to employers and investors, according to a 2013 report by the Congressional Budget Office.
The new joint CAP/FWD.US report says DACA’s end would be bad for the economy and illegal immigrants — but it also shows that Trump’s promise to end DACA will open up to 700,000 jobs to young Americans, including the 4 million Americans who will turn 18 this year. According to the study:
This report specifically finds that for every business day that DACA [two-year work permit] renewals are put on hold, more than 1,400 DACA recipients will lose their ability to work and could be let go by American employers. This could result in monthly job losses for more than 30,000 individuals each month. In total, if DACA is revoked, nearly 700,000 [illegal immigrant] individuals who are currently employed and contributing as a productive part of the American workforce would be stripped of their ability to work and could be fired over the course of the next two years.
The study was also leaked to Axios which reported:
The research comes from FWD.us, a pro-immigration reform group co-founded by Mark Zuckerberg, and the Center for American Progress, with data from the Cato Institute. They’re unveiling the findings this morning, but Axios got an advance look.
The findings: 91% of DACA recipients, 700,000 people in total, are employed. If Trump ends renewals for the program, 1,400 people per business day will lose their authorizations to work.
Why it matters: Ending DACA wouldn’t mean all of the “Dreamers” would be deported. But it would mean they’d lose their ability to work legally, and that could have significant economic consequences.
Multiple studies by business groups admit that the loss of the illegal-immigrant labor force will pressure employers to compete for American workers by offering better wages and working conditions to all potential hire, including new immigrants, Latinos and disadvantaged African-Americans. That is not an immediate problem for Silicon Valley, partly because few of the DACA illegals work in professionals sought by high-tech firms, according to a recent study backed by the CAP.

But the Valley CEOs will also lose political clout if DACA is ended. In likely 2018 and 2019 talks about an immigration reform, Democrats legislators will put a higher priority of restoring the DACA amnesty than on getting more high-tech workers for their Silicon Valley donors.
The last paragraph of the CAP/FWD.US study admits the impact on CEOs of DACA’s removal:
DACA was always designed to be temporary, but repealing the program without a process for individuals currently protected by it to continue to live and work in the United States will place an extreme hardship on U.S. businesses, on local communities, and on the American economy.
Since his 2016 defeat, Bush has returned to his business activities, which includes real-estate and investment and serving on the boards of several companies.
Bush is a strong supporter of increased immigration and cultural merge with Latin Americans countries. For example, in April 2014, Bush ignored the civic and economic interests of 320 million Americans when he endorsed illegal immigration as “an act of love. It’s an act of commitment to your family. I honestly think that that is a different kind of crime. There should be a price paid, but it shouldn’t rile people up that people are actually coming to this country to provide for their families.”
Each year, the government hands out 1 million Green Cards to legal immigrants, plus almost 3 million short-term work permits to foreign workers. These permits include roughly 330,000 one-year OPT permits for foreign graduates of U.S. colleges, roughly 200,000 three-year H-1B visas for foreign white-collar professionals, and 400,000 two-year permits to DACA illegals.
The current annual flood of foreign labor spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees. It also drives up real estate prices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines at least 5 million marginalized Americans and their families.
Multiple business groups admit that Trump’s popular RAISE Act immigration and economic reform would raise Americans’ salaries.
Many polls show that Americans are very generous, they do welcome individual immigrants, and they do want to like the idea of immigration. But the polls also show that most Americans are increasingly worried that large-scale legal immigration will change their country and disadvantage themselves and their children. Trump’s “Buy American, Hire American” policies are also extremely popular, including among Democratic-leaning voters.
