“So much for cheap labor.”
It’s a bluff. Sometimes these union apparatchiks make an attempt at seeming as if the illegals aren’t depressing wages. This is done to keep the rank and file confused.
The union ruling class makes more money by increasing membership, not raising memberships’ wages.
The employers naturally want cheap labor. The unions want dues and political power. The unions can only get this by lawsuits and democratic voters by excluding available non-unionized labor (that they cant control) who ends up voting democrat for benefits they cant work for. The illegals themselves will in a short time vote democrat(through children raised on government handouts). Public schools teach them to DEMAND what is theirs. Big businesses and lobbies protect themselves from the higher taxes through lobbying and campaign contributions. Joe six pack’s mother, wife, girlfriend, single mother votes for ever higher taxes to expand the schools their fatherless children are crowded out by future Marxist revolutionaries that came across the border.
Wakeup Bush, McCain, Kemp : you don't create conservatives by government handouts, even if it’s moving them to middle class. You create a religious belief and loyalty to government, which is seen as Mommy.
