In 1990, about one in 10 construction workers in the U.S. was Hispanic. By 2005, the rate was nearly one in four; and in 2006, it was two in three...Nationally, the carpenters union was one of the first to open up to the growing Latino work force, despite political fallout from traditional union members who opposed helping illegal immigrants.

"Si se puede!"
Why bother fighting this anymore?
The takeover is complete.

Hey, if they can’t vote, at least their union dues will go to the dems........

[Cicero]

This really plays to the Democrats. They were conflicted between their illegal hispanic voters and their union members. But with 2/3 of the union members now Hispanic, no es problema, hombre.

[sickoflibs]

So much for cheap labor. Who would have guessed that illegals/poor mexicans would be seduced by democrats message of ‘social justice’ instead of capitialism?? Remember Bush sending Tony Snow on Rush’s show to claim these are future Republicans? Well maybe so with Senior mCCain, Visva McCain, of course we have to give up a few issues, like tax cuts, ...

[oldbill]

Somebody needs to explain to this union thug and those illegal workers that their only usefulness lies in the fact that they can be paid cheap wages with no benefits.

When they start demanding equal pay, there will be no reason for them to be hired. Their buddies at the Chamber of Commerce, the Wall Street Journal, the meat packing plants, the landscapers, and the construction businesses will tell them to get lost.

Once they get uppity, maybe even McCain will tell them to get lost. And Tony Snow won’t be lecturing us about whether we would rather pay $30,000 or $50,000 for that remodeling job. It will cost $60,000, with the differnce going to union dues which will NOT be spent on Republican candidates.

What ye sow, ye shall reap.

Arrest the Union leaders and seize their Union assets.

Re: Illegals entitled to Union/prevailing wages

Another reason... I hate unions!

[purpleraine]

Every day we see a new benefit or normalization of illegals. We rant and rave and talk about how wrong it is. I believe we cannot overturn everything that happens FOR them. We must fight for the big picture law: no benefits, no schools, no jobs, no sanctuary, and immediate hearings and removal.

We have no presidential candidate amongst the big three who will take care of this problem. So we'll have another 8 years of this probably doubling the number of illegals.

Some states are stepping up. That may be the way to go.

can anyone else shed some optimism on ths problem?

[Clemenza]

Unions have been organizing (with varying degrees of success) illegal laborers in my neck of the woods for some time now. They had an active outreach to the illegal Portuguese and Irish back in the 1970s and 1980s, so this doesn’t come as a surprise.

[MEGoody]

Go ahead. . .get those illegals to join your union. No employer is going to risk employing illegals if they have to pay them the same as they pay American citizens.

[dforest]

You are correct, the fight is over. All 3 candidates still left in this race are pro illegals.

We are going to get amnesty, open borders, rampant disease, socialism, and a declining USA culture.

Just a short time away now.

I only know of what I have been told. I work with a lot of construction workers here in Los Angeles and almost all are Hispanic. In Los Angeles you are required to pass a Contractors State test before becoming a contractor. It is not an easy test unless you have a photographic memory. Even if you understand what you are reading on plans it is often a debate as to the meaning of a note. With earthquake, wind, soil conditions and environmental concerns, building conditions are getting harder to discern.

The people I work with tell me that in Los Angeles you have to belong to the Union. You no longer need to be a licensed contractor, as an alternative you can also now show you are in the union. This is in Los Angeles’s mind acceptable. Never mind the fact that they don’t check for legal citizenship or if you speak English or you have an education above 3rd grade.

Add to this that very few projects have Union members. No one can afford Union wages. The people that insist on Union workers are the government. Our Schools, our highways, Libraries, everything government related is Union and they don’t check for legal status. This is the reason that our military bases have been hiring illegal aliens to do their work. It can be argued that by hiring Union Members you are hiring the worst of the worst.

I heard some union boss boast that it is not his responsibility to check the legal status of workers. Hey, but let them build a roof over your child’s school.
