Murdoch, Kleinfeld, Dauman and Ryan Applaud Protection of Immigrant Children

Today, the Partnership for New York City issued a statement on the Obama Administration’s acceptance of a key piece of the DREAM Act.

Joint Statement of Rupert Murdoch, Chairman & CEO of News Corporation; Klaus Kleinfeld, CEO of Alcoa Inc.; Philippe Dauman, President & CEO of Viacom; and Kevin Ryan, CEO of Gilt Groupe:

In the face of Congressional deadlock over immigration reform, the Partnership for New York City applauds the Obama Administration for acting to protect immigrant children from the threat of deportation. We hope this prompts Congress to reach agreement on common sense immigration policies that reflect American labor market needs and American values. Young people who had no choice over coming to this country, have grown up here and now want to become productive members of our society should not be treated like criminals.”

The Partnership for New York City and the Partnership for a New American Economy released a study on the negative impact of current U.S. immigration policies on businesses. Click HERE to read a copy of the report issued in May."

Rupert Murdoch is among group of 'co-chairs' of partner group New American Economy along with new Democrat Party star San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro who says the US must "balance the need for border security" against the fact that we have an "aging work force":

"Julian Castro. Mayor, San Antonio

"America must balance the need for border security against the realities of our aging workforce and the spirit of entrepreneurial innovation that has made this country great."

===========================

Ed. note: I'm glad they made it clear. Their objection to America's immigration policy isn't that we're losing skilled and educated workers. Their objection is we need more unskilled, uneducated, sometimes illiterate, sometimes criminal, penniless, desperate human beings from the criminal, brutal culture of Mexico.
