Translation from the union: "We want higher salaries."

then begin "hammering" the greedy employers who hire them.

Well now, that's the one thing you won't hear out of Congress or the White House. I suppose the proper tribute has been paid.

I am no fan of unions. Why are the unions not speaking out against illegal immigration? Seems the unions are losing membership possibilities if illegals consume the jobs. The Farm Workers Union should be the most vocal opponent to illegal immigration. Anyone know what is going on here?

It seems nobody but McKennedy is buying the Bush amnesty

I liked the border patrol, right until I learned that they are unionized.

Huh. Is it appropriate for these agents to criticise the President like this?

Sounds more like they want to be able to accomplish their mission and secure the border, and they're tired of being attacked from the rear.

I never heard of anyone saying they would vote for someone they hadn't even heard of yet.

"There are a lot of very wealthy farmers in the Yuma area who dominate the local economy and have been using the cheap labor of illegal aliens to build their wealth for many years. Bush speaks their language."

They should be voluntarily paying a luxury tax as an offset to the social cost. Put it in the SS system. If they are audited and haven't paid the tax, treat em like drug dealers who don't pay their tax. Confiscate their stuff. The agent's right. It's not complicated. Close the border and hammer employers. just don't bitch when the inflationary pressures of paying more for citizens to do the work coupled with rising enrgy cost ushers in another 1970's. Oh joy! Paul Volcker can you hear me?

Yes. LE Protective Associations can do that. Good thing in this case.

I have wondered the same thing. Unions should be full force against the amnesty.

Senator Allen from Virginia made good comments against amnesty. Too bad that Senator Warner, also Republican from Virginia, is all for it - that the same senator who was briefly married to Elizabeth Taylor. He is a mean-spirited guy.

Ah, is that why Hillary jumped on the immigration issue about 8 months ago before it was the topic du jour?

Are these agents Democratic voters?
