Google backs Biden's immigration plans, pledging $250,000 to help 'Dreamers' settle in the US

    Google has backed President-elect Joe Biden's plan to help 'Dreamers' settle in the US, pledging $250,000 to the cause.

    Biden previously suggested 'Dreamers', residents brought to the US illegally as children, should be granted citizenship 'immediately.'

    A host of Big Tech companies previously bashed Donald Trump's freeze on immigration visas that Silicon Valley firms depend on to maintain a competitive edge.

    In a blog post, Google SVP Kent Walker said it was "important that Dreamers have a chance to apply for protection."

Why should Google do anything more than cheer Biden on here? They know who's gonna pick up the bill anyway.

What the socialists are going to do to us over the next few years and God only knows how many future generations is going to be very painful and the only thing I have to look forward to is whining and crying odf the idiots that voted for this when they how hard it's going to hit them in their wallets and savings and those Constitutional rights they were so okay with taking away from others. Small comfort I know.
