Newsweek
Billionaire libertarian megadonors Charles and David Koch, long associated with support for Republicans and the right wing of American politics, are funding an effort to praise members of both parties working to find a permanent solution for the "Dreamers." The move is a rebuff to President Donald Trump and the congressional leadership, who are trying to quell a moderate rebellion on immigration within their own party.
In their latest effort to pass amnesty for the majority of illegal aliens living in the United States, the pro-mass immigration GOP megadonor billionaire Koch brothers are throwing their support behind Democrats ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
The Koch Network is using its LIBRE Initiative to thank a number of Democrats that are working to find a permanent legal solution for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients.
