Soros-Funded Group Plans 'Fly-In' to Push
House Republicans on Amnesty
The George Soros-funded
National Immigration Forum (NIF) is organizing a “fly-in” of what it calls
conservatives from across the country aimed at lobbying House Republicans for
an amnesty bill.
According to USA Today’s immigration beat
writer Alan Gomez, NIF is planning to organize the fly in with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg’s
FWD.us, and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Partnership for a New
American Economy.
“The fly-in is being organized not by
conservative groups, but organizations that have focused on legalizing millions
of people who are in the U.S. illegally and changing the legal immigration
system to bring in more foreign workers,” Gomez wrote on Monday. He noted that
the 300 activists for an immigration grand bargain were looking to make what he
described as a “conservative pitch” for amnesty.
Gomez noted NIF’s Executive Director, Ali Noorani,
who “has advocated for changes in immigration law to help legal and
undocumented immigrants for three decades," claimed "the broad
collection coming to Washington
represents 'the conservative base of the Republican Party.'"
The event will take place on Oct. 28,
coinciding with President Barack Obama’s and Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid’s renewed push against House Speaker John Boehner for amnesty. Now that
Obama, Reid, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi are publicly pushing for
amnesty after many mainstream media outlets declared it dead earlier this year,
Soros’ groups are trying to make it appear as though conservatives support
immigration legislation like the Senate-passed “Gang of Eight” bill.
Ultimately, the left’s goal is to get the House to pass a series of piecemeal
immigration bills and then combine them with the Senate bill in a conference
committee.
Soros is heavily involved in funding the
lobbying for amnesty. After Breitbart News exposed NIF for being Soros-funded
while running a campaign to make it appear as though evangelicals support
granting amnesty to illegal immigrants, Noorani admitted his group accepts
funding from Soros. Noorani denies that the funding was being used for the
Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT), a project that his group runs the
operations of, but admits that millions of NIF’s dollars come from Soros and
that about 10 percent of its budget this year comes from the leftwing
billionaire.
Soros is also intimately connected to
Facebook’s Zuckerberg’s FWD.us push for amnesty. Zuckerberg hired Soros’ former
chief financial strategist Stanley Druckenmiller. Druckenmiller served as
Soros’ chief strategist for more than a decade.
Mitt Romney's top 2012 campaign donor,
Wall Street hedge fund manager Paul Singer, also funds NIF, as Breitbart News
has reported.
