I have pictures of the signs they sponsored.

Oh I don't doubt you - it's just that it doesn't make any sense. Maybe there's an angle here that I'm missing.
The only possible benefit to the unions is that the illegals will most certainly vote for Democrats and are very pro-socialist. That helps them in some ways, but the illegals will also bring down wages which hurts them even more.
Since we are in a global economy, even turning the country socialist doesn't help union workers as their products would be unable to competitively priced.
This is about POLITICAL ISSUES, not Union Members....
The AFL wonks could care less about the illegals, it's all about HELPING DEMOCRATS...
They know this issue is a No-Win for Republicans....
