Trump's pick for Sec. of Labor is a big fan of illegal immigration, or so I've heard. Well, turns out Jeb "it's an act of love" Bush and Eric "hey brother can you spare a dime" Cantor both are quite happy with this pick.

According to Breitbart:

Andy Puzder, Trump’s immigration-boosting nominee to become the Secretary of Labor, promptly sent his very public thanks to the two defeated leaders for their support.

Thanks @JebBush for the kind words. I look forwarding to working with @realDonaldTrump to put American workers back to work.

Thanks @EricCantor. It’s an honor to be nominated!

Puzder is currently the CEO of CKE Restaurants, Inc., whose revenue comes from franchise fees paid by low-wage Hardee’s and Carls Jr. restaurants. The franchised restaurants pay 4 percent of their total revenue to CKE.

On Thursday night, Puzder tweeted his 2017 priorities for the Department of Labor —to grow businesses and create jobs — but did not mention Americans’ wages or working conditions, or if those jobs would go to Americans or to immigrant workers.

As Sec of @USDOL, I look forward to working w/ @realDonaldTrump to enact policies that create #jobs & grow businesses #DepartmentofLabor

End excerpt.

Couple this with our old buddy Paul "Pee Wee" Ryan and his dancing teeth saying we won't kick out the illegally-amnetized "dreamers", and it appears that THE fundamental campaign promise of Mr. Trump may be in some danger.

(by the way, Reince Preibus is loading up the Trump Administration with GOP hacks.)

Donald Trump is a double minded man. The Bible says that a double minded man is unstable, and thus cannot be depended upon. Trump is often for something before being against; he signed an open letter decrying global warming and demanding action before becoming a "sceptic". He gave money to the Clinton Foundation and said Hillary would be a great president. He is a man whose opinions sway because in his heart he has no ideological moorings i.e. he isn't propelled by his faith or his sense of purpose so much as pragmatism, what will work for him. This makes for a double minded man, as pragmatism means allowing the current to take you downstream rather than make the laborious effort to paddle upward.

We must hope and pray Trump does not fail us on this; it is his principle campaign promise, the reason people voted for him. If he reneges on this he will be a one term president and Hillary or Uncle Joe, or some no-name Democrat will replace him.
