Globalists. Absolutely. Can't speak for their individual employees or management, but the companies are definitely globalist.

stateless, rootless, international bankers without a country... they go from host to host sucking the blood out of those unfortunate enough to let them in. after they've gained control of the country through the media and finance they will bankrupt it, suck it dry and move on to the next unfortunate host.

globalists for sure. Bernie Sanders would have been a very fierce opponent for Trump, it shows you how corrupt the Democratic party really is

Bernie Sanders explodes a right-wing myth: ‘Open borders? No, that’s a Koch brothers proposal’

Sanders frequently targets the libertarian industrialists Charles and David Koch as unhealthy influences on American democracy — but he’s not the first to notice their support for an open borders policy.

The conservative Breitbart and the white supremacist VDARE website each blasted the Koch brothers for sponsoring a “pro-amnesty Buzzfeed event” in 2013, and two writers for the Koch-sponsored Reason — former contributing editor David Weigel and current editor-in-chief Nick Gillespie — have always been supportive of immigration reform.

That’s at odds with what many Republicans believe, and Sanders told Vox that an open border would be disastrous to the American economy.

“It would make everybody in America poorer — you’re doing away with the concept of a nation state, and I don’t think there’s any country in the world that believes in that,” Sanders said. “If you believe in a nation state or in a country called the United States or (the United Kingdom) or Denmark or any other country, you have an obligation in my view to do everything we can to help poor people.”

He said conservative corporate interests pushed for open borders, not liberals.

“What right-wing people in this country would love is an open-border policy,” Sanders said. “Bring in all kinds of people, work for $2 or $3 an hour — that would be great for them. I don’t believe in that. I think we have to raise wages in this country, (and) I think we have to do everything we can to create millions of jobs
.”

“You know what youth unemployment is in the United States of America today?” he said. “If you’re a white high school graduate, it’s 33 percent, Hispanic 36 percent, African American 51 percent. You think we should open the borders and bring in a lot of low-wage workers, or do you think maybe we should try to get jobs for those kids?”

“I think from a moral responsibility we’ve got to work with the rest of the industrialized world to address the problems of international poverty, but you don’t do that by making people in this country even poorer,” Sanders said. "

Globalists. Trump should stay far away from them but he's as close to them as the Clintons and Obama. If they hold that kind of power we should be very afraid.

Closer actually. These people are his friends, and they run in his circles. Clintons? They're just politicians. Trump is one of them.

Surely the blue collar workers who voted for Trump because "He would clear the Swamp" must now realise that his promises were worthless.

Exxon provides about 75K jobs globally, most of them for US citizens. The average salary might be $100K+ employing chemists, engineers, geologists, welders, mechanics and a plethora of other highly paid positions. Their product literally and figuratively lubricates the economic engine of the US. The stockholders or the people who own Exxon are primarily pensions(31%), individuals(21%), mutual funds(20%) and IRA's(18%)...

Exxon operates in so many other countries simply because they are the very best at what they do , period. If you are China for example and want to build a refinery you partner with Exxon.

Is this not something US companies should be aspiring to?
