Zuckerberg in Mexico - I don't get it

So Zuck is pushing amnesty and throwing a ton of money at it.
Are these Central American kids the new frontier of tech labor? Have we exhausted the Asians, Indians and, um American, workforce?
I don't see the benefit to Facebook. Thoughts?

The "benefit" to Facebook is more along the lines of "these new voters tend to be Dem, who are his allies" than any other benefit.

BTW, I find this quote to be pretty telling....
quote:
So I would pose a question to Mr. Zuckerberg. I read in the news that Facebook is now worth more than $200 billion. Is that not enough money to hire American workers for a change? Your company now employs roughly 7,000 people. Let’s say you want to expand your workforce 10 percent, or hire another 700 workers. Are you claiming you can’t find 700 Americans who would take these jobs if you paid a good wage and decent benefits?
Let me just say one more thing: Facebook has 7,000 workers. Microsoft just laid off 18,000. Why doesn’t Mr. Zuckerberg call his friend Mr. Gates and say: Look, I have to hire a few hundred people; do you have any résumés you can send over here? Maybe I will not have to take somebody from a foreign country for a job an unemployed U.S. citizen might take.

I am pretty sure computer programmers are not running across the border in masses.

Dude not a progressive for shite. Hes wined & dined with plenty democrats and republicans to get what he wants. Hes like Chris Christie's number 1 supporter.

I really don't understand this either.
You have Progs like this guy doing this, and our government advertising for them to come here and take our free shite (that we can't afford).
Why do Progs just want to give it away? I get the votes part, but damn. I just can't make sense of it.

I know why people think this and it may be true to some extent, but I think these billionaire progressives are playing an entirely different game than you are.
Elections don't have real consequences for them and no matter who wins this or that race, they know we are marching towards unbridled progressivism.
They want to be part of a new world order. They already are, in fact. They see themselves as secular saviors of humanity.
It wont end well, but they don't know that.

Very well said. A two class citizenry is emerging in the US.

People should start deleting their Facebook in protest.

CC is a progressive in case you didn't know. He's progressive light, not a straight out communist progressive type, e.g., Shumer/Durbin.

Yep. Meanwhile they play the increasingly imaginary middle class against the so-called poor.
I just read A Tale of Two Cities for the first time and was struck with the descriptions of the time leading up to the French Revolution.
We have our own aristocracy now, but technological progress has created such an abundance that they don't have to starve us to enrich themselves as did the aristocrats back then. I would obviously rather be a moderately well off American in 2014 than a French peasant in 1780, so please don't believe that I'm advocating la guillotine for people like Zuckerburg or even trying to say they are evil like Monsignor from the novel.
I just wait for what new horrors will be dreamed up for the little people. Maybe we really are living in post-historical times, but it's hard to believe that when so much of the world still lives in abject poverty and experiences a lack of security that we can't imagine.

They're not. If they're really good, like the kind that FB hires, then they're already here.

They do the most damage. Because people don't know they are voting for a slow march towards total government control.

I don't think that's the case with Zuckerberg. He's a fricking kid who through a simple great idea with the help of some friends won riches that he doesn't think he is deserving of. I think he suffers from the same guilt that most of Hollywood suffers from; that it's not fair that all this shite came so relatively easy to him while there are people starving elsewhere.
He doesn't seem to me,at his age, to be a guy that would be thinking about political consequences 20 years from now.
At his young age I would have to think its an emotional issue rather than any political strategy.

without immigration, American birthrate would be negative.

Did you know that Yahoo was forced by the Government to turnover records of their customers?
Is Zuckerberg living under the same government.
The Jusice Dept. find JP Morgan then dictated that a portion of the money be paid to their pet groups.
