Rebekah Mercer own Breitbart is worth a bajillion dollars. They are anti-immigration and have a lot of Republican pacs.

Interesting. Is there any financial reason for their support of strict anti-illegal immigration controls or is it purely ideological?

Cause if it is the latter, then I can see them as allies, if it is the former then we just have some shared objectives.

They are definitely not the Kochs - and other than my current opinion of the GOP which the Mercers are aligned with - they are allies in that respect.

But, the data mining for the GOP angle is bothersome because political fund raising is such a big part of the racket.

Yeah, I think we should probably stay out of this whole thing. They seem like they are our allies but they are shitty business partners. I obviously see why someone wouldn't want to give them a part of their company, but I don't think this is an issue that matters to the rest of us here.
