The Koch Brothers Are Siding With Democrats In The Latest DACA Fight - Page 2

I'm glad most of us understand by now, if anything at least we all became politically savvy during this journey and know what the fuck is going on most the time.

yup yup , we woke.

Agreed. We woke af. I support progressive movement now

Buzzfeed? also, talk is cheap. Have them put their money where their mouth is.

I recently heard the Freakonomics podcast interview with Charles Koch. The reason they're siding with Dreamers is that they actually do support immigration, but only for those who will positively contribute to the country.

The Koch network has a rare message for President Donald Trump: Take the Democrats’
immigration deal.

A trio of organizations supported by Charles and David Koch is urging Trump to accept
congressional Democrats’ weekend offer, which would deliver $25 billion for a border wall
and security in exchange for a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million young immigrants,
according to officials in the Koch network. The White House was unwilling to accept the
deal, instead offering Democrats a two-and-a-half-year extension of protections for so-called Dreamers facing deportation in return for wall money and dropping their demands
for cuts to legal immigration.

But the Koch groups — Libre Initiative, Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Partners —
are all advising the president to take the Democrats’ deal. Brent Gardner, a government
affairs official for Americans for Prosperity, called the proposal “an offer all parties should
immediately accept,” and Libre Initiative’s president, Daniel Garza, said that “Congress and
the White House should seize this chance.”
Nathan Nascimento, an executive vice president at the Freedom Partners chamber of
commerce, said, “If a deal was on the table that offered both security at the border and
permanent status for Dreamers, that’s a deal that Republicans, Democrats and President
Trump should support.”

Democrats’ offer came in response to a last-ditch attempt by the Trump administration to
get border funding in the omnibus spending bill that must pass this week. The White
House offered protections for Dreamers — recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals program, or DACA — through September 2020, according to people familiar with
the talks, but Democrats were unwilling to strike a permanent deal on wall funding in
exchange for a temporary solution for Dreamers.
After the weekend impasse, lawmakers said it was unlikely that any deal extending expired
protections for the DACA recipients would be included in the spending deal. But Congress
will probably have to return to the issue again in the future after the courts rule on Trump’s
decision to rescind the program.

The word Koch in German means cook. If you see, very similar in both German and English Koch vs Cook. The 'ch' is not pronounced like the 'ch' in cheese, rather it is pronounced similarly to the Spanish "J" for Jose.

My favorite German word is lügenpresse

Literally, "lying press"

gotta love German's propensity to utilize compound words.

Like this word Liebfraumilch Lieb (beloved) frau (lady) milch (milk) = beloved lady milk.
