Mike Bloomberg and Rupert Murdoch Go On the Offensive for Immigration Reform http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2010/06/mike_bloomberg_18.php "The idea that Republicans aren't pro-amnesty is a myth." Sure, certain elements of the party have to feed anti-immigrant read meat to their base, but the big funders of both political parties are interested primarily in making money. And for many big companies to make money, they need a flexible workforce. Hence, it should be no surprise that Bloomberg's new coalition, which the AP says " employ more than 650,000 people and make more than $220 billion in annual sales, combined" supports comprehensive immigration reform.
