Hacked: Soros worked to prevent documentation of illegals

The philanthropic Open Society Foundations run by George Soros sought in 2010 to foster an alliance between civil liberty advocates and proponents of illegal immigration in order to block comprehensive immigration reform, and language that would have required closer tracking of immigrants, hacked documents reveal.

The move was made after an off-the-record meeting in November 2009 between representatives of Soros' organization and groups that included the American Civil Liberties Union, the Human Rights Campaign, the National Immigration Law Center, and the libertarian Cato Institute.

According to a memorandum addressed to Soros and leaked online, the organizations represented a partnership between those who support large immigration flows, and civil rights advocates who were interested in preventing the passage of comprehensive immigration reform legislation that would legalize at least 11 million undocumented workers, but would also require them and up to 140 million American citizens to participate in a biometric database for tracking fingerprints.

"Our goal was to ensure that the privacy rights community and the immigrant rights community, two groups that receive significant support from [Soros] but rarely interface with one another, share information and strategies to avoid the loss of privacy and risk to information security," the memo stated.
