“Think about it: unions will never achieve the best terms for workers when a large part of the workforce is illegal and operates in a shadow economy,”

And that is the rationale.

Unions are SOOOOO stupid. They don't realize that with an abundant labor force, they lose all bargaining power. They may think this Kenyan is on their side...but when they are all together in the unemployment line, will they all still love him?

The secretary said the Obama administration is “committed to this issue.”

When we said Obama should be committed, this isn't what we meant.

Napolitano said. “As labor leaders have made clear to me, immigration reform will be a boon to American workers. “
This is actually the money line. Notice where she and the Kenyan are getting their marching orders from? The unions.

“A tough and fair pathway to earned legal status will mandate that illegal immigrants meet a number of requirements—including registering, paying a fine, passing a criminal background check, fully paying all taxes and learning English,”

And if they don't? Will they be DEPORTED? or will they continue to squat here and collect freebies?

What does this have to do with Homeland Security? Nothing. It’s merely Democrats looking for votes.

50,000,000 new citizens by next year (not 12 million) before the 2012 elections..

For the last 20 years the border patrol estimates 10,000 cross the border every day. Do the math...

Civil unrest WILL break out in this country if this plan is attempted.

This is not a threat.

Its just what is going to happen.

14 million votes before 2010. As much as all this pisses me off, I have to give the Democrats props for getting what they want done. I cannot believe that the Republicans did not just plow through whatever they wanted. They couldn’t even pass Social Security. I hope that when Republicans get the majority again that they learned at least this from the Democrats.

Obamacare for illegals won’t be illegal after all.

Now that’s a lie you can avoid.

LOL! Unions NEVER achieve the best terms for workers. It's an equalizer. The worst and best employee make the same - thereby squashing all motivation. It is socialism.

Napolitano said that she has seen a “major shift” in the immigration landscape, which the Obama administration hopes will make it easier for Congress to pass new immigration laws.

The only shift is that there are more Dems in Congress that will vote for amnesty against the wishes of their constituents.

And if they don't, they still get free health care.

Oh, there’s been a major shift in the landscape, but AWAY from your position, Janet.

The union workers have faith that their leaders will continue their thuggery on behalf of the membership. That’s as far as they think. The union bosses keep the members stirred up with hatred of the companies they work for, and that’s what their worker’s world is pre-occupied with. Legalizing illegals will increase the number of union members which fattens the union bosses’ coffers, and that’s all they care about, along with growing their power and ability to basically call all the shots within the companies.

zero and his union thugs are the reason we no longer care if we buy American or not. If it’s made by a union shop, we generally don’t buy it. All that does is fatten contributions to the rats and zero.
