FWD.us, the pro-amnesty brainchild of Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, made a big splash at the House GOP retreat last week in Cambridge, Maryland, with a packet distributed to every lawmaker touting the benefits of a big, comprehensive reform bill.

However, the Republicans who received the document might be interested to learn that one of its co-authors is a hardened Democratic party operative.

According to the file properties of a near-final version of the Microsoft Word version of the document obtained by Breitbart News, FWD.us staffer Jennifer Martin was at one point the last person to modify it.

Martin is a “field coordinator” at Zuckerberg’s lobbying group, according to her LinkedIn page.

Prior to coming to FWD.us in July 2013, Martin had a long history of working for Democrats on Capitol Hill to help get Democrats elected to Congress.

From September until November in 2008, Martin worked on the campaign of Democrat Alice Kryzan in New York’s 26th Congressional district. From February 2009 until May 2009, she was the regional field director for now former Democratic Rep. Scott Murphy’s bid for Congress in the special election to fill the seat Kirsten Gillibrand left open when she was appointed to Hillary Clinton’s Senate seat. After Murphy won the special election, Martin became an organizer for the Fairfax County, Virginia, Democratic Party, for about five months, before signing on to be the deputy campaign manager for Murphy’s re-election bid and serving as his outreach director in his congressional office. Later, Martin worked for Rep. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) in her congressional office for about two years before joining FWD.us.

The document attempts to make the case to House Republicans that they should support amnesty and a massive increase in legal immigration, including more cheap tech labor for Zuckerberg’s Facebook. It uses data and information from left-wing groups like the Center for American Progress (CAP) and from President Barack Obama’s White House. It also suggests groups fighting against amnesty, like the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), NumbersUSA, and the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), are racist.

The packet was also distributed to House Democrats. FWD.us officials specifically touted that it had been given to GOP members ahead of the retreat, and after the retreat, they launched a significant advertisement campaign to sell the GOP leadership's immigration “principles.”

73% 0f Americans DO NOT support immigration "reform" - Amnesty - this is an outright lie being spread by the corprotist Mark Zuckerberg.

Wonder why facebook stock shot up? Could it be payback from the big money guys because the individual investors can' afford it.?

Zuckerberg group distributes memo on ‘The Shocking Extremism Behind Anti-Immigrant Groups’

Yesterday, it was reported that Sen. Jeff Sessions distributed a 30-page memo at the Republican retreat in Maryland, urging his colleagues not to “surrender” by backing immigration reform.

Now comes word that the Mark Zuckerberg co-founded group FWD.us is distributing their own pro-immigration reform memo to Members of Congress.
What makes it interesting, to me, at least, is that the memo (which is titled, “Summary Background Memo on Broad Support for Immigration Reform”) also includes a section (starting on page 18 on ‘The Shocking Extremism Behind Anti-Immigrant Groups.’

It includes links to various stories, such as this one from the Wall Street Journal, which notes that:

“CIS, FAIR, NumbersUSA, Project-USA — and more than a half-dozen similar groups that Republicans have become disturbingly comfy with — were founded or funded (or both) by John Tanton, a retired doctor in Michigan. In addition to trying to stop immigration to the U.S., appropriate population-control measures for Dr. Tanton and his network include promoting China’s one-child policy, sterilizing Third World women and wider use of RU-486.”

A spokesperson for FWD.us confirms the memo “has gone to all House member offices (both Rs + Ds) today – of course including all members at the retreat” — and that it includes “factual information…about the origins and real motivations of some of the loudest anti-immigrant groups.”
You can read the memo below.

FINAL DRAFT House Resources Document by Matt Lewis

Summary Background Memo on Broad Support for Immigration Reform

Over the past few months, a broad coalition of groups has shown Congress
that - in addition to 73% of Americans - key leaders from the business, tech,conservative, faith and law enforcement communities support immigration reform.

Immigration reform is the right thing to do for our economy, our future, andour families. The time for reform is now.

The House Republicans took a critical step toward fixing our broken immigration system with the draft principles that were discussed at the conference retreat. These draft principles being discussed by the Republican conference represent an important step forward for reform efforts.

While some anti-immigrant voices falsely claiming to speak for conservatives may raise concern over the draft principles, they do not represent the majority of the Republican Party: polls have consistently shown that GOP primary voters support fixing our broken immigration system.

To that end, enclosed you will find a variety of resources including economic studies, polling, and statements from key stakeholders. We have also includeda reminder of some of the extremist views driving many of the groups
mobilizing against reform

UPDATE:

Full statement from a FWD.us spokesperson:

“Can confirm this has gone to all House member offices (both Rs + Ds) today – of course including all members at the retreat. We’re encouraged that House Republicans have put forth draft principles to guide their approach to immigration reform – and want to make sure all members have polling, research, and relevant resources in the coming weeks as they work to craft legislation. Relevant resources includes factual information that many of these members may not have about the origins and real motivations of some of the loudest anti-immigrant groups.”
