Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie, have donated a $33 million scholarship grant to TheDream.US, which is the nation's largest scholarship program for "dreamers" -- young immigrants whose protections against deportation for being threatened. According to the organization, the donation will allow 1,000 undocumented immigrant graduates of U.S. high schools with DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) status the opportunity to attend college.
The grant is considered 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," Bezos said in a statement.
According to TheDream.US, Dreamers are typically ineligible for federal grants and loans. They are unable to receive state aid in 44 states.

Bezos need a lot of cheap labor for his Amazon sweat shops
ReplyDeleteI try and avoid ordering from amazon. Usually go direct to the manufacturer and save $. Bought a HP computer direct and saved $600. I wish president Trump would hit them with anti - trust laws. Bezos is a globalist that doesn't put the USA first.
ReplyDeleteThe same guy owns WAPO - I'm sure we can depend on his impartiality......
ReplyDeleteWell Amazon is no longer my choice. He is definitely not for America or my niece would not still be paying off her student loan. America has Dreamers - where is their donations for school.
ReplyDeleteNow all of these educated illegals will take even more and better jobs from our citizens!

ReplyDeleteWhen you buy Washington Post or at Amazon you fund and underwrite this guy.
Of course if DACA dies his gift becomes a meaningless PR ploy.
I guess he couldn't find any poor AMERICANS who had some "dreams" but couldn't afford the bill.
ReplyDeleteThey paid taxes. They obeyed the law. They're screwed.
Bozo can afford to give to illegals because he will not pay his workers a livable wage.
ReplyDeleteI guess this is why he in now the wealthiest man in the world. He works his employees with near poverty wages and donates millions to illegals.
Amazon is a $hihole company.
American's first! Bezo's a Zero!
ReplyDeleteBezos does exactly what he is told to do and say.
ReplyDeleteNothing more northing less
He is a tool of the elite who own these technologies.
Bezos is the front man (child).
You want to donate to illegals and not Americans First. All I want is $100.000.00 so I can pay off my house and buy a new care so can continue to work and take care of my family at the age of 62. Is that too much to ask from the 1 perenter.
ReplyDeleteShould have given this to Americans First and Animal shelters in America before Illegal Foreigners !!!!
