The labor movement? I read the labor unions were strongly against illegals and a guest worker amnesty.

The labor movement?

Communist movement, more like. IWW, the International Workers of the World, has been allied with the illegal alien front.

Yeah a logical person would come to that conclusion but all bets are off when dealing with the labor union leadership. The AFL/CIO furnished a lot of their signs in the previous rallies.

I asked my brother in law about this. He's a railroad engineer and union rep. The monday before the protests, Teamsters made decision to honor any 'strikes' in support and were prepared to shut down for 3 to 5 days. Had Longshoremen closed down the ports as was thought to happen, the country would have come to a standstill. Also, our local rally held a few weeks ago was sponsored by Farm Labor Organizing Committee/AFL/CIO. They have 10,000 members in Ohio Michigan and Carolinas.

Apparently the unions are counting on all those 'legalized' workers' union dues and democratic votes.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but, didn't the truck driving union on the docks in L.A. support the illegals by not working that day?

That's what I previously thought, but unions need members - paying members. Who better to grab than your local illegals, ripe for some of those fine union benefits?

They used to be. Now they see masses of illegals from left wing countries as the thing that could save them from extinction. Theyre right.

The labor unions have joined the illegal movement. They hope to make them legal, not necessarily citizens, but legal. Then organize them into a union.
