Corporate Cheap-Labor Lobby Opposes Oregon’s Sanctuary Repeal Initiative
avatar By David Jaroslav October 10, 2018 6 Comments
In what should surely come as no surprise to anyone, several big corporations have recently come out against Measure 105, the initiative on Oregon’s November ballot that, if approved, would repeal the state’s 1987 sanctuary law. The Chamber of Commerce crowd’s seemingly limitless appetite for cheap labor has reared its head again, and once more they’re trying to make sure state and local governments ignore and undermine our country’s immigration laws. As usual, it’s wrapped in touchy-feely rhetoric, but it’s the same game as ever: spread disinformation, appeal to emotions, and pad the bottom line.
The Oregon Secretary of State’s Office released their Online Voter Guide for the November election on September 11. In it, five top Oregon corporate officials provided statements for a joint “Argument In Opposition†entitled “Oregon Business Leaders Agree: Measure 105 is Bad for Business, Bad for Oregonâ€: Nike CEO Mike Parker, Columbia Sportswear CEO Tim Boyle, A to Z Wineworks President Amy Prosenjak, and Vernier Software co-founders Christine and David Vernier.
