He's a vocal critic of socialism and seems to be an all-around good guy. He urged Americans to vote Trump in 2016, warning that Hillary Clinton "will appoint liberal, activist judges who will work with her to give citizenship to 11 million illegal immigrants."

Though nearly all the other top billionaires are leftists, Democrats, and open borders globalists, Peterffy appears to be the only exception to the rule.

Corporate big wigs and big business support the left because open borders results in a never-ending flow of cheap labor, meaning they can keep wages down. You should see the fuss most companies are making over Brexit, apparently the sky is going to fall after our departure from the EU and our economy will resemble that of pre-National Socialist Germany.

Steve Ballmerwas an early supporter of Zuckerberg's FWD.us, though his name is no longer on their website. He appears to mostly avoid politics.
Casino magnateSheldon Adelsonis a mega-donor to establishment Republicans like Marco Rubio who support open borders. He told Trump early on in his presidential campaign he would give him $100 million but ended up "snubbing" him and giving only $5 million. His main issue is Israel. Phil Knightof Nike is rather reclusive but he attacked President Trump's 20 percent Border Adjustment Tax proposal back in March, 2017.
TheMars familydon't appear to be very politically active. Michael Dellof Dell Computers is another big Republican donor but he too advocates for open borders through the Technology CEO Council in the form of so-called "immigration reform."

But the election of Trump via a campaign that spent far less money than Clinton's suggest that their largesse went down the S bend of history with no net effect.
This is the lesson we're learning from Trump's victory, Brexit and the rise of the anti-left in Austria, Poland, Hungary and other European nations.
No matter how much they spend, it is to no avail if the people aren't listening.
And they aren't listening even more now than ever.

This is one of the most basic concepts that must be understood when thinking like these guys do. These guys give a fuck about nothing other than their bank accounts, but how 'generous' of them to claim that their ambitions are otherwise...

touche--good points. At times the money factor can disappear. It has in the latest worldwide backlash against the left and I sure hope that continues.
However, I would say though that a lot of republicans in particular are pro-open borders because their donors are.

Trump's election was a one time only event. Eastern Europe never allowed themselves to become hotbeds of islamic extremism and took preventive measures to make sure they are not flooded with millions of aliens they cannot assimilate.

But a rich person giving money has way moreinfluenceover the political process than the average voter, so in a democracy they effectively have the equivalent of several votes while the burger flipper has one.
Exactly. And the blilionaire decides for the burger flipper who the candidates issues will be. The burger flipper gets to think his or her vote if equal to that of blillionaires, but of course it does not.

Trump's election was a one time only event.
Which is why I always claim that it is not the Trump era that will set the changes in stone, but whoever follows.
As always, Australia lags behind the rest of the world in terms of social change (it's the heat...nobody gives a fuck for 6 months of the year, so it takes us twice as long to catch up), but I think we're getting close...maybe the next Federal election in May, 2019. The current "conservative" (actually a prog in sheep's clothing) PM has no chance, but the opposition leader, a socialist, is even less popular.
It will be hard for either party to get a majority, and independents will have their best chance ever to take a seat in the house. Hell, I'd stand myself if I wasn't disqualified from doing so.

Because you were born abroad?
We've had recent federal party leaders with dual citizenship.

I am British by birth, and a dual citizen. "Renouncing" would not change that...yet our moronic laws preclude dual citizens from standing unless they sign a piece of paper declaring they are no longer their original nationality.
As in many cases, Governments seem to think that signing pieces of paper is an accurate reflection of one's thoughts, feelings and sentiments.

Seems like every rich donor wants open borders. these are the fundamental flaws in democracy when rich donors and small loud groups have more influence than what the majority wants.
