SEATTLE, WA (WCMH) - The world’s richest person is giving Dreamers the chance to dream a little bigger.
The Washington Post reports Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife are donating $33 million to fund scholarships for undocumented immigrants called, “Dreamers.”

That term refers to people who were brought into the US illegally as children.

According to CNN, the move comes as the White House rejected a bi-partisan deal to keep them in the country.

Bezos says his adopted father came to the United States from Cuba unable to speak English.

Earlier this week Bezos joined tech titans like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Apple CEO Tim cook in co-signing a letter to congress demanding protection for Dreamers.

They consider the deportation of young immigrants a threat to their workforces.

Not as many as how many Americans illegal aliens have put out of work. When Amazon goes out of business, the customers just go somewhere else, like back to the retail stores who will hire all the workers Amazon laid off.

I bet they pay nothing near what they pay in the U.S.

If Bezos paid Mexican workers U.S. wages, the "trickle down" would boost the local economy and Mexicans would be migrating back to Mexico!
