From Breitbart<\/a>: As first-in-the-nation Iowa voters prepare to caucus, open borders financier Mark Zuckerberg weighed in on the race through the president of his powerful immigration lobbying firm, FWD.us.<\/p>\n

In a Monday CNBC interview, FWD.us President Todd Schulte made clear his view that Iowans should reject the candidacy of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg\u2019s spokesman Schulte told CNBC\u2019s Sqawk Alley:<\/p>\n

For the first time, a major party [is] putting forth people who are saying they are going to round up and deport 11.5 million people; they\u2019re going to eliminate high-skilled immigration\u2026 And look, that may get you a win or second place in the Iowa caucuses. That is just a horrible and fatal position in a general election.<\/p>\n

Shulte elaborated just a few hours ago with more attacks on the GOP frontrunner. Schulte tweeted: \u201cTrump\u2019s a hack, runs for [sic] policy specifics. Be it immigration, trade, foreign policy \u2013 answer is always he\u2019s a strongman, others are weak.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schulte continued: \u201cOn immigration, he wandered into something awful that credentialed past apostasies as ok \u2013 rounding up every last undocumented immigrant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg\u2019s FWD.us is also backed by tech giant Bill Gates. Gates has argued for the unlimited admission of foreign workers authorized to take American jobs.<\/p>\n

FWD.us is also backed by other supporters of mass immigration, such as Google\u2019s Eric Schmidt and former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.<\/p>\n

Todd Schulte was named president of the organization in September of last year after his predecessor, Joe Greene, was reportedly \u201cforced\u201d out after revealing his organization\u2019s apparent view that foreign workers are better than Americans.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time Zuckerberg\u2019s lobbying firm has attacked the GOP frontrunner.<\/p>\n

Ahead of September\u2019s CNN GOP debate, Zuckerberg\u2019s immigration firm released an attack ad targeting Donald Trump, in which the lobbying group lectured the Republican Party on the need to pass so-called \u201cimmigration reform,\u201d by which FWD.us means mass amnesty combined with more foreign workers on visas for big businesses.<\/p>\n

Similarly, following the release of Donald Trump\u2019s immigration policy paper last summer, Schulte wrote a blog post on the FWD.us website in which he described Trump supporters as \u201chard-line anti-immigrant restrictionists\u201d who \u201crant that immigrants are taking jobs away from \u2018real\u2019 Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

The number of immigrants in the U.S. is currently at a record high of more than 42 million. Nearly 1 in 7 U.S. residents was born in a foreign country. In eight years time, the foreign born share of the U.S. population will reach an all-time high. If Silicon Valley\u2019s lobbying efforts prove successful, that record will be shattered with even greater force and rapidity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
