Lobby–lobby–lobby. This nation is for SALE. Very pathetic and shame!!!!
Frankly, I am sick of seeing tech companies LIE about needing foreign workers to fill their jobs.
The truth is, they want slave labor, to enrich themselves, and they know Americans will not work 60+ hours per week, for modest salaries.
That is the real truth, about why they want to import foreign workers.
A knowledge economy can scale further, create better jobs and provide a higher quality of living for everyone in our nation," he wrote in the column.

He sounds just like his President, doesn't he?
FWD.us quite an interesting name for someone who, if I recall correctly, aligned himself with Romney during the election.
To his credit and like any successful entrepeneur he's stepped back redirected and refocused his priorities.
Is Zuck going to pay for :
'Former' Illegals immigrants using EBT cards?
Car insurance premiums increases because 'former' illegal immigrants are driving without insurance?
Hospital operation costs as 'former' illegal immigrants flood emergency rooms?
Pay for reforming the school system to compensate for english-as-a-second language classes?
Pay for the salaries of Spanish-to-English interpreters in key services such as hospitals, 911 dispatchers, police?
Language classes for key services?
Etc., etc. etc...
