Why don’t any of these stunted clowns contribute to organizations such as ours, AFDI, in the defense of the very way of life that made them immensely successful? Never happens. Ever.
Bezos also owns the Washington Post, which is why their bias on these issues makes William Randolph Hearst’s coverage leading up to the Spanish–American War look positively objective.
Jeff Bezos donates $33 million for DACA scholarships
Eduardo Neret, Campus Reform, Jan 15, 2018:
- Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and owner of The Washington Post, recently donated $33 million to a scholarship fund for illegal immigrant students.
- The donation is the largest ever received by TheDream.US, and according to Bezos will “fund 1,000 college scholarships for Dreamers.”
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos recently donated millions of dollars to TheDream.US, a national scholarship fund for illegal immigrant students.
The billionaire owner of The Washington Post and his wife donated $33 million to the group, which supports DACA recipients, marking the largest donation in the organization’s history.
“MacKenzie and I are honored to be able to help today’s Dreamers by funding these scholarships.” Tweet This
“MacKenzie and I are honored to be able to help today’s Dreamers by funding these scholarships,” Bezos remarked in a press release, which noted that his donation will “fund 1,000 college scholarships for Dreamers.”

“He landed in this country alone and unable to speak English,” Bezos continued, speaking of his father who immigrated to the U.S. when he was 16. “With a lot of grit and determination—and the help of some remarkable organizations in Delaware—my dad became an outstanding citizen, and he continues to give back to the country that he feels blessed him in so many ways.”
According to CNBC, Bezos joined 100 other business leaders in sending a letter in support of DACA to congressional leaders, with Tim Cook of Apple, Satya Nadella of Microsoft, Sundar Pichai of Google, and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook also signing their names to letter.
“We write to urge Congress to act immediately and pass a permanent bipartisan legislative solution to enable Dreamers who are currently living, working, and contributing to our communities to continue doing so,” the letter states. “The imminent termination of the DACA program is creating an impending crisis for workforces across the country.”
TheDream.US offers two scholarships—one that provides up to $80,000 for a bachelor’s degree and another that awards between $14,500 and $29,000 for those who have already completed an associates degree program.
The organization’s National Scholarship is offered to individuals with DACA or Temporary Protected Status (TPS) who have graduated high school or community college, while its Opportunity Scholarship is specifically for individuals who “live in targeted, locked-out states that do not offer in-state tuition to DREAMers.”

In addition to its scholarships, TheDream.US partners with colleges and universities “that are committed to serving and graduating DREAMers,” with partner institutions providing DACA recipients with a “designated Scholar Advisor” for “support and assistance to address all of the emotional, lifestyle, and financial challenges that may prevent our Scholars from completing college.”
Some of the partner institutions include Arizona State University, California State University, Colorado State University, the University of Central Florida, Rutgers University, Texas A&M University, and George Mason University.
A recent report from The Chronicle of Philanthropy ranked Bezos tenth for charitable giving among billionaires in the United States, listing well over $200 million in donations to higher education that Bezos has made in recent years.

A fool and their money are soon parted, Tim Cook of Apple, Satya Nadella of Microsoft, Sundar Pichai of Google, and Mark Zuckerberg of face book will now demonstrate.
Yes, they will demonstrate their ignorance and hate to our country and the negligence to the innocent victims and their families. I bet they are trying to provoke Trump. Dirty
cheap and disgusting games. Not even talking about the transparent conflict of interests. They need the cheap labor and they got it so far. It’s nothing to do with any philanthropy. Americans are not that stupid to buy this nonsense. I hope so.
Just a bit of corporate oneupmanship, nothing like a bunch of billionaires making fools out of themselves in public.
What is astounding is the number treacherous Westerners or individuals now living and prospering in Western countries who are so ready to screw up their own country or country of adoption, and contribute to the downfall of Western civilization. These are totally visionless lunatics, in fact evil people with money. The ‘elite’ who are about as elite as fleas round a dirty dog’s backside, don’t, as Pamela has said, contribute to AFDI, instead contribute to the dregs who don’t love America. I know that on a moral basis I shouldn’t, but sometimes I wish that skilled vigilantes would systematically ‘take out’ these visionless fools. Headline ‘Jeff Bezos assassinated – shot while standing at French window’.
I’ve been praying for a Rogue Black Ops team to take out Soros and his two evil sons……May God forgive me.
May God forgive me, but I’ve been wanted not only the Soros’s ‘taken out’, but the the Obamas, Clintons, Pope Francis, Valery Jarret, Susan Rice, John Brennan, Loretta lynch, Chris Quomo, Jim Acosta and if I think hard enough a few others. And I want it in one night ‘of the long knives”. I would make such an impression on the left.
I think u have the RIGHT idea……..I’ve always wondered why someone hasnt taken out that SOB previously.
Dims have given up the game: they are importing a new electorate to outweigh the political influence of the Americans who are expected to pay their bills.Cheap labor & leftist votes is the goal, often supported by the “repugnants” as well. Object to that & your “racist”.
Dreamers can get all the education they want.But I hope they are still being deported ASAP. I read a good one a day or two ago: if I sneak my illegal kids into Disneyworld & I leave them there,will they be allowed to stay there free(indefinitely)? They can survive mooching.
I have more respect and admiration for someone who makes a much smaller donation in silence. Got none for bozo and his rich wife.
I totally agree with you
Why isn’t he paying for college of the siblings whose brother or sister or mother or father was killed by an illegal? Why isn’t he giving $33 Million to wounded warriors who gave body parts to keep our country safe so he could make billions? If only there was some way to get him out of my life…but Google is in everything.
B/C he’s a used a-wipe on his highway to hell ….
Why isn’t he …? That would be a righteous act and it might detract from his virtue signaling.
I guess no money for the families of people murdered by these criminals. I’m glad I have never patronized Amazon.
Same here. I don’t patronize Apple, either; don’t have FB or Twitter accounts, rarely use google, and wish I was computer-savvy enough about alternative OS to Microsoft so I wouldn’t screw up my computer.
Me neither, no Apple, definitely no FB or twitter, a good alternative to the google search engine is duckduckgo(dot)com, though I do still use youtube to catch podcasts from Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh, even though it’s owned by Scroogle-I go to support the conservative commentators there. I haven’t tried an alternative OS either, though there are some around.
Another, private search engine is startpage.com
I’ll give that one a whirl sometime, too, thanks for the tip!
No problem. It’s a good one. 🙂
I just went there, and it says “enhanced by Google”.. I don’t use google so I’ll just stick to duck duck go.
There is a “proxy” setting, which allows you to do all your searches anonymously
Used to listen to U-tube for music, but since they now put commercials on, I just use my cd player. Never did use any type of social media.
Wish It wasn’t necessary for me. Where I live, we have NO major stores, so I do use amazon….very reluctantly. Always try to find what I need locally first though.
I hear you, and hey, if you got to, you got to, there’s no fault there and it’s good you go locally when you’re able, I do the same when I can.
I don’t even mind paying more to support local businesses. After all, they pay the big shipping costs to get it here.
That’s true, and they don’t have the cushion like bigger chains to mitigate price fluctuations and business killing regs, taxes and fees. I don’t mind when I pay more to shop local and you make better connections that way, too, but that’s more on the humanity side :-).
Surely that money could be better served going to the many victims of Islamic terror around the world?
Bet Bezos didn’t send those families money to help out…..
Problem I see with DACA is that we don’t have an inkling of “who” the “dreamers” are, or how many of them there are. So, soon as we give them amnesty, maybe as many as 10,000,000 are going to say “I’m a dreamer – I was brought here as a child.” We can’t prove otherwise. The whole thing is a scam. There are millions of white men who used to be carpenters, but were replaced by illegals (and they do sloppy work) – now many of those white men are on food stamps, welfare, or have already committed suicide. Same story for millions of other American citizens replaced by foreigners from all over the world.
I could not care less where Bezos throws his money. However, New Jersey has a scholarship fund, of several million dollars, set aside … solely for illegal aliens. Now, when one considers the abhorrent state of new joizies economy and the education level of their state’s residents … You’d think that, perhaps, they could use some of that money to help out their own. Those monies being tax dollars ‘n all.
That’s even a greater reason to steal from the taxpayers to give to the illegals. I hadn’t considered that!
They’ve started experiencing a “brain and money” drain since the tax reform happened. Stuart Varney talks about it every morning on Fox Business…..This new Governor has a whole wish list of how to fleece his citizens….and NJ has a 32 Million (or billion) unfunded retirement problem….Wouldn’t want to be in that state…..
I’ve been of the opinion, that when California leaves the Union, it would be nice if they took new joizie and illinoise with it.
I don’t buy anything from Amazon because I want to support the people who are devoted to their own chosen area of expertise and it’s goods and services.
Of course, I’m under no illusion that I’m hurting Bezos in even the most insignificant way, because he doesn’t have to know anything about any product line, hobby, pursuit or field of interest — only leveraged high finance and speculation.
And he doesn’t have to worry about showing a profit.
Him and Musk, pretty brazen.
‘Hey, Bozos, there are plenty of native-born “dreamers” here in the U.S. who can’t afford to go to college. You basically just told all of them their efforts mean nothing and are worth nothing to you and your ilk.’
Trump should immediately block all funding, benefits, whatever to “dreamers.” They do not deserve any handouts from this country.
If they really want to live here, perhaps the so-called “dreamers” should be required to donate 5 years of service to their local communities, or the gov (not committing any crimes during that time) before they can even begin to be eligible for the benefits that citizens receive.
I thought it was illegal to aid illegals in our country? Doesn’t that make him complicit with their crimes? Where’s Jeff Sessions on all of this?
It used to be. Obama made all that legal
Really Really like your idea. Since it appears we can’t get rid of them, that would make a lot of them leave. Especially the no benefits, which they have ‘already’ taken.
Just doing my part 🙂
that’s 33 million dollars that could help American blacks or Native Americans achieve educational goals!
Sorry but, if Native Americans can’t help themselves with the billions of tax-free casino dollars they are making, they certainly don’t deserve any more handouts.
Many “tribes” do not have casinos. I’m a believer that we have US citizens that are “Dreamers” from every color and stripe .. African descent, European descent, East Asian descent .. you name it …
But illegals do, right?
Most of the members of a tribe get next to nothing. Only the elite get the bulk of the profits. Check articles on San Diego casinos in the March 3, 2017 The Paper in San Diego county.
Who cares about Americans, illegals are first on priority list.
But but…the undocumented “children” are a special case cuz they didn’t mean to break the law. Their parents made them do it! And, knowing this, even after learning they had broken the law as they were educated in public schools, remained here, encouraged their parents not to worry about it and are now insisting on having the same rights as citizens by pulling on the heartstrings of the bleeding heart part of the right and the vote seeking left. The virtues of honesty and integrity are lost on the illegal aliens in this country as well as those who support them.
The CIA owns Facebook. Bezos is just a puppet of theirs. The CIA is one of the enemies of this nation.
Spoken as a true communist. Or as a Putin troll.
I have a very different take on Putin. He is portrayed as a communist monster. What is happening in Russia is not what we are presented with. He is working to promote families, Christianity, get rid of Muslims. He inherited a huge basket of problems when he took power. I think he is one of the good guys in this fight against evil. Not at all what we’re presented with through virtually every media outlet.
I – very cautiously – want to agree with you…..but remain skeptical….
Lady Warrior, I remain hopeful he is one of the good guys.
He is still a dictator.
Hi, Mike E. So, do you believe that the Central Intelligence Agency is not filled, from the very bottom to the very top, with corruption, lying, cheating, murdering, stealing and raping operatives and employees .. that DESPISE The United States of America? Once upon a time, I also, was quite the Pollyanna.
i though this site was just anti-muslim. seems it’s broaden anti-brown also
it’s anti-bums, anti-living off of others’ efforts, anti-lazy, anti-victims, anti-screamers, anti-whiners, anti-blame everyone else, anti-entitlement attitude … etc. Yes, definitely anti-muslim, since muslims are all of those things. And that group happens to include a lot of others, so don’t worry — you’re in the worst of company.
No it’s all the items that Michael Buley stated.Skin pigmentation does not matter.
Is anyone able to translate “it’s (it is) broaden” into English?
Only if you define anti-rape, anti-crime, anti-violence, and anti-child molesting as ‘anti-brown’ …
Like all trash you need to get a white sheet and put it over your head. Don’t bother with the eye holes, you’re blind anyway.
ALL ABOUT CHEAP LABOR, THE PEOPLE OF OTHER COLORS SHOULD ASK HIM ABOUT “THEIR” SCHOLARSHIP MONEY.
Bezos is a businessman and he knows that giving money to DACA will give him an enormous PR and goodwill.
Giving money is very easy for him. To really do something would be for him to move and live in the American working class neighborhoods where these illegal immigrants live. Or to let illegal immigrants live in his own home.
This action may not give him the PR he might expect, I hope.
Guarantee he’s getting billions in free positive advertising for this on all the Liestream channels.
Latinos do assimilate very well. We are cousins, Americans & except for their witchcraft, have the same religions. Criminality is a spiritual/morals problem
Sorry….no sale. The ones here now broke our laws….they start out being criminals. Then they suck up “benefits” that should be going to Americans and their families…especially after the devastation of Obummer…..
Second, there are 100s of thousands who have been waiting for years to get in the legal way…..they have been hung out to dry….I want all “dreamers, DACA” illegals to leave the country and apply like the ones who have been waiting for years…..no exceptions!
…We are either a nation of laws…..or we are not…..we can’t be both.
so your saying its almost impossible to get in/citizenship? I didnt know that.
No – not any more. I am old enough to remember when that was true, but I am young enough – and have been around enough – to know that it is not true now.
Literally – why would a twenty something Latino want to be a hater, racist, bigot monster and pay a dump truck load of taxes when he and his family receive not only a load of Special Privileges but also the psychic benefit of knowing they can blame Whitey for their problems. Plus, if they’re successful due to affirmative action, MBE, DBE, or other programs – they know other Americans deserve it because America is evil and Americans are monsters.
… btw. all sarcasm aside. I spent almost three years working with poor families in the DFW area, and many of the Latin families expressed exactly these beliefs to my face. As I presented a perfectly Libtard face to them, it did not occur to them to keep their opinions of ‘rednecks’ and other ordinary Americans to themselves.
So this opinion is based on hundreds of private conversations with Latin families.

Bezos works for the CIA(clowns in America) and has been paid millions if not billions for working for them and he bought the Washington Post to use it to attack Trump and Christian patriots. I hope Trump has plans for this POS.
A nice, big, fat Anti-trust case would do it….it worked on Microsoft…..
Guess it’s time to stop purchasing from this monopoly everyone complained about Wal-mart but look at this jackass he helps illegals over his countrymen. I’ll pay more not to buy from Amazon, Bezo can piss off

TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ‘HOLE’
Daniel Greenfield
Hey Bezos: how many of your employees who work in the warehouses are struggling to find money to put their kids through college?? Ever think about them?
If these people are properly deported and their college application correctly reports that they are breaking the law by simply being here then none of them should even get the money.
Should be outlawed, as it provides a way for them to stay in the USA.
All money paid should be forfeited and put to better use by the USA government
Sure changes the way I’ll be doing business with Amazon. Worthless backstabbing traitor.
Many of them hate vets.
That’s AFTER the first year. Estimated costs, NOT inclusive of transportation, is close to Sixty-Four Thousand US Yankee Greenback Dollars, PER refuse-gee (love your term, may I borrow it?). That is NOT per family, but for EVERY refuse-gee. So, that family of fourteen would approximate, $896,000, just for year ONE.
My observations suggest the average Latin family with 0-1 citizens and 1-4 kids, gets one SSDI check, EBT, WIC, Medicaid, and obviously child-tax credits for every kid. They also either hold two jobs or one job while mama operates a child care. The complete package, assuming one job is cash and one job is taxed at normal taxes is worth $65,000-80,000 pre-tax dollars for a two income family of four American citizens.
This estimate is based on two and a half years as a pro-bono attorney in the north central Texas area and represents a sample size of well over one hundred families with at least one legal resident or one anchor baby, and one illegal resident or criminal alien.
Working backwards, and adding social costs, I am pretty sure $10k per year per illegal is a very conservative estimate. Plus, I have not considered the cost of the crime rate – since it’s hard to count the value of crimes not entered into the system. Obviously criminals create a ‘broken window’ economy, and increase cost of law enforcement, but since we do not even charge them here unless we have forensic evidence, we have lower incarceration and processing costs. Needless to say, any reasonable figure for crime would also need to include the cost of the blighted neighborhoods and the need for non-criminals to flee to non-Democratic towns.
btw – The crime in Dallas is so bad, our little town is getting ‘illegal’ flight as illegal residents attempt to flee the ‘non-existent’ rapists and murderers from the ‘not’ sh*thole countries. Seems these folks did not get the memo from the Liestream media that their fellow migrants were all upstanding darlings from Utopia come to diversify us.
love your posts too btw.
Bezos should drop dead. He’s sickening!!
Do LEGAL U.S. kids KNOW about this struggling with DEBT
while going to college? What MORONS!
Most legal Americans that age do not realize that any Latin Leftist can qualify for a free education if he/she/57other genders is down with the cause and can string more than two words together without an F bomb.
If one Is “down with the cause”, they needn’t worry about reducing the F-bomb content of their speech. In the USA, that’s just the way we roll.
True. But that’s not the test. The one’s I have met – on the free scholarships – can pretend to be the upstanding, clean-cut, superior being from Central Casting. They only cuss when they think they’re not being overheard by the Gringos.
I believe that they increase their profanity, when white men are present. They only turn down the “homey” language when they think that they’re being filmed.
How about our inner city youth? Not good enough? Or not as much press?
So…90% of his business is with Americans…..and instead of helping American kids get an education, he’s going to educate illegals. If only there was someway to cut this traitorous jackazz out of my life….but it’s in everything….everywhere….
Hard to not make purchases on amazon. Oftentimes, they have vendors that sell products that I cannot locally source. However, with a bit of working around that site, I can usually come up with the vendor’s name. Oftentimes, they have their own website. A quick duckduckgo search and I have that vendor’s website, wherein I can make that purchase, without going through amazon. For the most part, I try to source things through local, small business vendors. But, sadly, often that cannot be done;
So what we have here is nothing less than Jeff Bezos and his wife committing treason!
you are not allowed to advertise on this site….yet every morning I open Geller there you are….and every morning I block you…..
Same picture, different name; right?
That’s the one….changes their name, but same avatar….
LOL. I got tired of ‘reporting’ so now I just use the little arrow next to the name to get rid of “it”.
What an a-wipe. Typical hateful, racist, bigoted Leftist.
Americans have to pay through the nose – and Latin-Leftist-Nazis already get free educations. So … wtf?
They need more advantages over the fifth-class Americans? No, not really.
If these people were not criminals – or minimum wage slave level verker bees – they would ALL ALREADY BE DOCTORS AND NUCLEAR PHYSICISTS.
No DACA bigot faces any obstacles other than the stupidity between their ears.
WTF is happenig? The golden shower for illegal criminal invaders?
If he does not know what to do with his money, he could give it as bonuses to his workers… Or donate to American foster kids… But he likes illegals better… I wonder whether muslim jihadists and other criminals are also eligible for those grants? What man won’t do for love… It really got me.
bezooos is working on endowing another scholarship fund, specifically earmarked for soomali moslem cops that murder unarmed white women.
Hello ABCDE. You’re being ‘followed’ on DISQUS by a scum named “Topher Smith” (a very nasty extreme leftist homosexual). I suggest you X him off your list of followers.
He was banned (in prior accounts) several times by DISQUS. He gathers info
on people to dox them to employers, families etc (or threatens to if
they don’t pay him).
You might consider using the privacy option on your DISQUS profile (for a while). X-ing him as a follower won’t stop him manually following your comments page (it only takes you off his automatic list). Your decision of course. Have a great day!
and he gives NOTHING to American born citizens.
What happened to the idea of lifting up U.S. citizens first? Wouldn’t helping our struggling inner city citizen-youth be a more suitable object for your misplaced generosity? I guess not; you’d rather promote the open borders narrative. What a shame! Shame on you for promoting this migrant, not immigrant, influx of illegals!
Heaven forbid that Bezos help Americans!!! OK, if he wants to help ‘cuz his father was an immigrant then do the same thing for IMMIGRANTS, not illegals…
Sounds like Bezos and the other billionaires may be a bunch of dumb-shi+s. Why don’t they use their money to better the lives of children in Mexico and other Latin-American nations? They could build some fine schools and hire teachers to teach kids, so they can turn their shi+hole nations into decent places to live. Nooooo, can’t figure that out so what do they do? Invite the 3rd world to the USA so they can turn the USA into a shi+hole. BEZOS YOU’RE A DUMB A$$.
All the super rich and their so-called charity, just makes things worse. Why not donate to homeless shelters (how many homeless in the single state of California alone?), to setting up sustainable small scale urban farming projects for the poor, teaching crafts and trade skills to down-and-outs, that kind of thing. Oh wait, of course not.
Now they will not be sucking as much from the US taxpayer, right? Don’t need in-state tuition now, right?
And they can take their world class educations back to their motherland and improve conditions there, right? Riiight.
What about AMERICAN DREAMERS???
That’s the equivalent of the average American donating $3. But the great news is if all liberals put their money where there lying forked tongue mouths are we will no Longer need taxpayers to ever pay another dime to subsidize illegals stealing from the American taxpayers!
Question: Wasn’t it the immigrants who stole the native’s land??
