Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us group is pressuring President Joe Biden to grant temporary amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, even as Americans face stagnant wages and rising rents.
By yourNEWS Media Newsroom
Mark Zuckerberg’s network of wealthy West Coast investors, under the banner of FWD.us, is urging President Joe Biden to grant temporary amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. This push comes at a time when Americans are grappling with sagging wages and spiking rents in a high-migration economy.
On April 10, Zuckerberg’s FWD.us group declared that three administrative proposals could benefit as many as 3 million individuals. These proposals include immigration relief for undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens, TPS expansion, work visa pathways for Dreamers, and affirmative cancellation of removal for undocumented parents of U.S. citizen children.
The investors insist that this move is “a moral and political imperative.” FWD.us can be seen as the West Wing of Biden’s administration, with significant influence due to its role in Biden’s 2016 election and funding of many progressive activists and campaign volunteers.
The proposed amnesty would echo President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign-year creation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The amnesty status would also help many illegals clear their immigration record via “advanced parole.”
This lobbying push has alarmed pro-American activists and legislators who oppose Biden’s rollback of the nation’s border laws and immigration rules. Chris Chmielenski, president of the Immigration Accountability Project, warned that if Biden uses his executive power, there would be little recourse for the American people other than to vote against it in November.
He has received ZERO push back from the @HouseGOP – so of course he will do an amnesty. Republicans are literally advancing a Democrat bill to fund foreign aid with no border security, and working with Democrats to do it. The President fears not. https://t.co/4kwThhpP43

Under Biden, the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly avoided lawsuits about the administration’s refusal to enforce immigration laws, partly due to massive resistance from progressive officials. The GOP leadership could attempt to block the deal by adding restrictive language in the top-priority Ukraine funding bill.
Biden may pair the amnesty giveaway with modest enforcement of the border. Some Biden supporters, like CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, are urging him to rebuild his polling support by enforcing the nation’s immigration laws.
However, the investors are relentlessly pushing for their advantage. Chmielenski stated, “The open borders lobby is jeopardizing every other area of the Democratic Party’s platform to get what they want on immigration, and if it costs Biden’s election, and Democrats all of the other things that they care about aside from immigration, they don’t care.”
Polls show that Americans view migration as more of a burden than a benefit. Almost 70 percent of Americans say the U.S. would benefit from new curbs on migration at the southern border, according to an Economist/YouGov February poll of 1,671 citizens. A 54 percent majority of Americans say immigration under President Joe Biden is making life harder for all, according to a Reuters/Ipsos October poll of 4,415 adults.
FWD.us was created by Facebook founder Zuckerberg, who continues to fund the cheap-labor advocacy group via the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. The group plays a central role in U.S. immigration politics, having helped win driver’s licenses for illegals in New York and pushed a white-collar migration bill in December 2022.
Todd Schulte, the president of FWD.us, did not respond to Breitbart’s questions. Border chief Alejandro Mayorkas is closely aligned with the investors and has repeatedly pushed for more illegal and legal migration.
In March 2023, Mayorkas told the Senate’s judiciary committee, “We have employers who are striving to hire, to find people who could fill jobs to contribute to our country’s economic prosperity… Regrettably, our legal immigration system is not designed to meet that need.”
Mayorkas, caught in a lie. He said 8 days ago Laken Riley’s killer was paroled because feds had no reason to hold him. (False) He said 2 days ago he couldn’t remember why. (False) He said today he just wouldn’t talk about it. The truth: they let Laken’s killer in illegally pic.twitter.com/tGbaXhU0U1

In December 2022, Mayorkas told ElPasoMatters.org, “We look to our partner to the north that has a much more nimble immigration system that can be retooled to the needs at the moment… We are stuck in antiquated laws that do not meet our current needs.”
That investor perspective is shared by staffers in the White House who are eager to expand the government’s role in the economy. Katie Tobin, then the senior director for transborder security on the National Security Council, said in May 2023, “The Biden-Harris administration appreciates both the moral responsibility and the strategic opportunity that migration presents — it’s at the heart of our domestic and our foreign policy agendas.”
FWD.us returns the favor, arguing that more migration helps to grow and expand government. They state that immigrants pay nearly $525 billion annually in federal, state, and local taxes, a vital contribution to revenue.
Since at least 1990, the federal government has relied on Extraction Migration to grow the consumer economy. This policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, pushing up stock values, subsidizing low-productivity companies, boosting rents, and spiking real estate prices.
The economic policy has pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors, reduced Americans’ productivity and political clout, slowed high-tech innovation, shrunk trade, crippled civic solidarity, and incentivized government officials and progressives to ignore the rising death rate of discarded Americans.
The policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors and government agencies with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers. Similar policies have damaged citizens in Canada and the United Kingdom.
The colonialism-like policy has damaged small countries and has killed hundreds of Americans and thousands of migrants, including many on the taxpayer-funded jungle trail through the Darien Gap in Panama.
Philly man goes off on Biden: “We got veterans in the streets… but you got migrants coming over here illegally. When are you gonna help the American people?…you’re not mentally capable of running a country bro”
