Therefore, the republicans know they have us just where they want us. Where can we go?

You can go down to defeat if you like...For me? I'll vote conservative...Hopefully, within the party, but I will vote conservative regardless...

Have to get rid of that mentality that some are not electable...Everyone is electable if people will vote for them...Vote for the Conservative...

I knew Cesar Chavez. His first office was in Lamont Ca. where I grew up. As a girl when we got out of the movie theatre we used to go to his office for candy. He always had a huge bowl of penny candy for the kids.
Cesar Chavez was also adamantly against illegal immigration.

That's right, I agree with you tell all the moonbat's you don't like to sit out the next election. That way you can keep your illegal house maid or what-ever.

Not only is it appropriate. It's their obligation. They're the ones who put themselves on the line. The ones risking their lives. They're the ones actually trying to keep the invaders out. Not Bush or the Senate

They have credibility, regardless of the fact that they belong to a union.

The 30 percenters are still true believers.

Go back and read the debates.

Don't have to...The moderators never even asked a question about illegal immigration...

you're so stupid

I see you are smart enough to read this form's policy about personal attacks. Yes, it sure is easy to get people to join you on your own personal little hate train.

Yes, I remember how Bush serenaded Fox and family AFTER he was elected. People on this site claim that he was upfront about amnesty and the guest worker program before he was elected. I just want to see the links and refresh my memory as I don't recall.

then begin "hammering" the greedy employers who hire them


If they had only done that in the beginning we wouldn't be in this mess

A fun site, they left the AFL/CIO, though still belong to the less political (yet Dem oriented) AFGE.

Lots of people think bombast is persuasive. I don't.

The unions in California have a death grip on the legislature and are pushing a socialist agenda that I have fought for years. I have been on the front lines fighting the unions in California. When Chavez died in 1993 the UFW became as corrupt as all other unions and lost their vision and direction. While they may be irrelevant in a political sense, they are still a metaphor for the plight of the farmworker and you still see their recruiting flag flown in the fields. Missing in the illegal immigration rights marches was the red flag with black eagle. I have not followed the UFW since my father-in-law died in 2004 so I readily admit my knowledge is somewhat dated. My question however is still pertinent.

Why is the UFW, still a metaphor for the plight of the farmworker, so obvious in it's absence from the illegal immigration discussions?

Why are the unions not speaking out against illegal immigration? Seems the unions are losing membership possibilities if illegals consume the jobs.

They dont have to benefit immediately. As long as America is morphed into a quasi-socialist utopia, they're satisfied. The illegals contribute towards this goal in the long run (doing the work that they...well..)

Salinas was the only time I ever got to meet him. He was very soft spoken and humble. I understand he often stayed in peoples houses rather than hotels. When you see port-a-potties in the fields, Caesar Chavez had them put there.

[pgyanke]

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

I have... but they were all Democrats...

"However, the repubs know that the defacto guest workers/illegals have helped the economy"

Please tell me exactly how they have helped the economy. Do you have any idea what they cost for education, health care and other social services? Who fills our prisons? With what group do the police and justice systems spend the bulk of their resources on in the border states? Please be specific.

[savedbygrace]

Feel the same way about police and firefighters?

[chris1]

They won't. Have you heard even one good argument from an OBL pusher? Not one.

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

Your reaction is as pathetically knee jerk as the typical liberal's. You're going to dismiss anything he has to say just because he's in a union? Well stick your fingers in your ears and hum "union, union, union" and I guess you won't hear anything unpleasant.
