Salt Lake Chamber Dupes the Supporters of the Utah Compact

By Ronald W. Mortensen, April 13, 2011

Did the Salt Lake Chamber dupe Utah's religious organizations, social justice groups, and media outlets into helping it pass legislation that guarantees its business members a large pool of low-cost, easily exploited illegal alien labor? It appears that that may have been the case.

In 2010, the Salt Lake Chamber played a leading role in the development of the Utah Compact, which makes no distinction between legal and illegal immigrants.

Religious, community, and social leaders quickly signed onto the Compact in order to demonstrate compassion for illegal aliens and their families.

The Chamber then played a key role in drafting a bill (HB116) that was purportedly based on the Compact. The Chamber sold it to other signers of the Compact as a unique, compassionate solution to Utah's illegal immigration problem, in spite of the fact that the core precepts of the bill had been developed by the Chamber in 2008, well before the time the Compact was rolled out.

With the support of religious leaders, social justice advocates, and media organizations, the Chamber succeeded in getting HB116 passed by the legislature late on a Friday evening before most of the legislators had even read the bill. A short time later, the governor signed it.

Now, a month after passage of HB116, many of those who helped pass it recognize that the Salt Lake Chamber used the Utah Compact as a tool to defeat legislation that would have negatively impacted its members' ability to hire low-cost, easily exploited illegal alien workers.

Compassion and family unity were only buzz words used by the Chamber to gain support for HB116, which was deemed by the legislature's own attorneys to be unconstitutional and which requires federal waivers than are apparently impossible to obtain. A chief architect of the bill, Sen. Curt Bramble, described the bill as nothing more than "A resolution on steroids."

Thus, the illegal aliens that most supporters of HB116 wanted to help are no better off than before the bill passed. They still cannot work legally, have no access to guest worker permits, continue to be easily exploited by employers, and still risk having family members deported. If HB116 were to be implemented in 2013 without federal waivers not only would illegal aliens continue to be illegally in Utah but in order to obtain and retain a Utah work permit they would be totally dependent on their employers.

Bishop John C. Wester of the Catholic Church, one of the strongest supporters of illegal aliens in the nation, recognized the duplicity of the Chamber and its political allies. He refused to attend the signing ceremony for the Chamber's HB116 and expressed his deep concerns about the Chamber's and governor's immigration solution.

The Salt Lake Tribune, a strong supporter of the Compact, has called for the repeal of HB116 because it is unconstitutional and does nothing to solve the problems faced by illegal aliens.

The extremely influential Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) now tells anyone who calls its public affairs office that it did not and does not directly support HB116 and issued a statement denying that the presence of a senior Church official at the signing ceremony signified direct support for HB116.

Republican legislators and Utah Gov. Gary Herbert who enacted HB116 have come under withering criticism from members of their own party and will likely face serious challenges in 2012.

Republican legislators are running scared and are now trying to convince their constituents that they voted for HB116 because of the LDS church's support for it.

Efforts are underway in Utah to repeal HB116 and the coalition that the Salt Lake Chamber put together to pass the bill appears to be fragmenting as more is learned about the Chamber's self-serving actions that placed profit ahead of the principles of the Utah Compact.

In spite of this, the "Utah Solution" continues to be touted as a model for the nation by the Salt Lake Chamber and its political allies, including Utah Attorney General, Mark Shurtleff and Gov. Herbert.

The Chamber and its allies nationwide are now touting what they call "America's Compact" in order to develop a national coalition. It will be interesting to see if religious and social justice groups and advocates for illegal aliens will be duped in other states and at the national level like they were in Utah or if they recognize the Chamber's efforts for what they really are – guaranteeing an unlimited source of low-cost, illegal alien labor that is totally beholden to employers.

Lou Dobbs Tonight

Monday, June 16, 2008

Tonight, we’ll have all the latest on the devastating floods in the Midwest and all the day’s news from the campaign trail. The massive corporate mouthpiece the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is holding a “North American Forum” to lay out its “shared vision” for the United States, Canada and Mexico – which is to say a borderless, pro-business super-state in which U.S. sovereignty will be dissolved. Undercover investigators have found incredibly lax security and enforcement at U.S. border crossings, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office. This report comes on the heels of a separate report by U.C. San Diego that shows tougher border security efforts aren’t deterring illegal entries to the United States.

ONE PROBLEM WITH THE CHAMBER’S LA RAZA AGENDA IS THAT THERE ARE NOT JUST 12 MILLION ILLEGALS. THE NUMBER NOW EXCEEDS 40 MILLION IN OUR JOBS, JAILS AND WELFARE, AND THEY BREED LIKE BUNNIES!

Chamber of Commerce Says It Supports Path 'To Legitimacy' for 12 Million Illegal Aliens

Wednesday, January 12, 2011

(CNSNews.com) - U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tom Donohue, noting that 27 million Americans are unemployed, underemployed, or have given up on finding a job, said his organization supports a "way" "to legitimacy" for the estimated 12 to 14 million illegal aliens who are working in the United States.

“Unemployment had exceeded 9 percent for 20 consecutive months,” Donohue said in his annual State of American Business address at the Chamber’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. “Some 27 million Americans are either unemployed, underemployed or have give up looking for work.”

“In fact,” Donohue said, “we must create 1.2 million jobs a year just to absorb the new entrants into our workforce.”

Later in his remarks, Donohue said the Chamber would continue its efforts in support of comprehensive immigration reform, which some conservative critics consider to be a form of amnesty.

“Almost all of us are sons, daughters, or descendents of immigrants,” Donohue said. “The Chamber will continue to pursue comprehensive immigration reform.” He also cited the "urgent" need to improve visa processing, oppose attempts to gut temporary worker programs, and increase the number of foreign worker visas.

At a press conference following his speech, Donohue was asked by CNSNews.com if comprehensive immigration reform included a so-called pathway to citizenship.

“We think the most important parts of comprehensive immigration reform would be, first of all, a way for the, shall we say 12 million here, to legitimacy so that they can easily participate in society, pay their taxes, drive cars and that sort of thing,” Donohue said. “Second we need a guest worker program,” he said. “People could easily come back and forth for work and some of that would be seasonally, for crops and for recreation organizations and so on.

“And third, we definitely need a way to deal with high-end, talented folks that are needed in this economy. Donohue called it "amazing" that after years of training in America, professionals such as Ph.Ds in chemical engineering are now finding it hard to stay here.

Donohue said citizenship for illegal aliens should not be the top priority. “I don’t think the citizenship thing is necessary right now,” said Donohue, adding that protecting the U.S. border was also important. “I think we ought to pick the four or five things that everybody needs and let’s get it done.”

Donohue also said that the United States should keep the promise it made to Mexico 15 years ago to allow “safe, carefully inspected” Mexican trucks to transport goods into the U.S., as called for in the North American Free Trade Agreement. Labor unions strongly oppose the plan.

Donohue said the U.S. economy is “in better shape than we found ourselves last year,” and he noted “a new tone coming out of the White House.”

One indication of warming relations between the White House and the Chamber, which represents 3 million mostly small businesses, includes a scheduled address by President Barack Obama at the group’s headquarters on Feb. 7.

Among the areas Donohue said the Chamber would concentrate on in 2011:

-- restraint and reform of the regulatory process, including stopping the EPA from enacting regulations to limit greenhouse gases – a task that should be left to Congress, he said.

--Expanding American trade, rebuilding the country’s infrastructure and developing U.S. energy resources, and reducing the federal debt and deficit also made the top four on Donohue’s to-do list.

Donohue concluded his remarks with his trademark line-in-the-sand approach while expressing optimism that the Chamber can “work together” with the Obama administration and Congress in the coming year.

“Our approach in Washington will be to call them as we see them,” Donohue said. ‘We’ll continue to have our differences with the White House on some issues but we’ll work together on other issues."

“We’ll support the new House leadership on many occasions, and we’ll work with Democratic legislators as well, but no one should expect the Chamber to march in lock step with anyone,” Donohue said.

“We have a clear mission and agenda of our own,” he said. “It’s to continue to win important policy victories for our members and the American business community. It’s to support, protect, and advance the free enterprise system that made this country great. And it’s to help create good jobs and promising opportunities for all the people of our country so that they can achieve the American dream."
