[null and void]

From the "WHOA, didn't see THAT one coming" Department of the Obvious: 1.Who didn't think that the *now* $6.00-an-hour illegal would be granted amnesty and voila'(sorry, don't know the spanish word for voila'), becomes *newly formed union member* demanding $18.00 an-hour for same job? Suddenly, the cheap wage excuse has ended and the amnesty has been about WHAT, exactly? A brand new democrat voting union has been formed, and once again, we find ourselves screwed.

You missed part 2:

The $18.00 an-hour workers get replaced by a whole new crop of invaders, and need to go on public assistance, because they can't find jobs...

[small voice in the wilderness]

Yep. And you can bet that the Guatemalan Midget Mimes are waiting in the background for their turn. Painting their protest signs and perfecting their forlorn unifying cry of justice: America: Who Will Hear OUR Voices??
