TSO has a case of the Red Gorilla Ass: Screw you SLC Chamber of Commerce!
Thanks for your support Chamber of Commerce, no really. Why give us an entire day, we should only get 1 minute, and the rest of the day should be hijacked by you assholes.
Rather than celebrating Veteran’s Day and honoring the men and women who have served their nation, advocates for illegal aliens use Veteran’s Day to push their amnesty agenda.
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of November in 2010, community, business, political, and religious leaders who place the interests of illegal aliens ahead of those of the United States used Veterans Day to launch the so-called Utah Compact.
The Utah Compact was developed specifically to push the amnesty agenda although it never mentions illegal immigration. The Compact was carefully crafted to give the impression that those signing it are simply stating their support for “immigration.” However, the authors of the document and the primary signers strongly support amnesty for all illegal aliens.
As former Arizona State Sen. Karen Johnson wrote: “Pretending that the ‘Utah Solution’ was something new, unique, and more compassionate than previous attempts at immigration reform, they put it in a pretty new package, slapped a brand-new label on it, and took it on tour, trying to foist it off on other states and Congress. But despite the new packaging, it’s still all about amnesty. And the vaunted diversity of the Utah Compact is a sham.”
I have emails into both the SLC Chamber and the national one, but I won’t bother waiting for a response. I hereby designated Christmas Day as “Screw You Chamber Of Commerce, And the Horse You Rode In On” Day.

Want to get your point across? Find and publish a list of members and partners, and point out that they have supported this hijacking and hearty “Fuck You Veteran’s” done on their behalf. Name and shame, and name and refuse to do business with them.
I compare this with my local Chamber, which took part in a week’s worth of events honoring veterans and doing for veterans. Not all Chambers are good, glad mine is. As for SLC, they have re-affirmed their support of this and the disrespect to those who serve. Screw them, every way possible.
I think of Salt Lake City as akin to Austin–a bunch of fucking moonbat liberals surrounded by a state of sanity.
It is worse than that. This whole amnesty business is driven by the leadership of the LDS Church, which sees 2 things: Supporting illegals gives them a really large chance to gain converts for their church, and a new source of inexpensive labor for their farms and manufacturing facilities. There has been a strong and consistent storyline that the LDS church has been actively involved in helping illegals enter these United States and getting them settled in Utah. Hyrum City has 2 large meat-packing facilities which used to be owned by the Miller brothers. One was a dedicated beef processing facility, and the other pork & chicken products. Additionally, there was a separate trucking company with long-haul refrigeration units to take these products across the nation. Both of these facilities were a source of good jobs for the locals until Swift Premium purchased them. Suddenly, there were swarms of illegals showing up and taking over the work. One recent ICE raid netted over 200 illegals at the beef facility. The hew and cry from the local Mormon Elders was intense that these “new converts” and “simple immigrants” were being “torn from their families”, yadda yadda yadda. A similar situation happened at the IKEA plant, and the Wurlitzer factory. Same church backlash against ICE, etc. Why the concern from the LDS church? All those new converts are expected to fork over 10% of their earnings (gross, not net) as tithing to their new church. It’s like the mafia. That money gets passed from the local Wards to the Stakes up to the HQ in SLC. In addition, those low wages the illegals are paid helps increase profits, and 90% of all those major businesses in Utah are owned and/or operated by Mormons, who are also expected to pay tithes to the church. I’ve lived there. I’ve seen it both while living and working there. It isn’t just the Chamber of Commerce that’s supporting this, it’s the whole damned State government, also made up of a majority of Mormons who make certain that state laws don’t veer from the teachings of the… Read more »
