Wonder how much the pig known as Richard Trumka sold out the American working class for when he did this?
We already have the highest legal and illegal immigration on the planet, and real unemployment of > 14%.
We need more "unskilled workers" why?

I’m very disturbed that on this thread mere peasants speak against the decisions of labor union bosses and corporations...

Everyone should take note: All supporters of Illegal Alien Amnesty are working with (and for) Big Labor. Anyone not Deporting all Illegal Aliens is working with Big Labor.

Shut up, Native! Back on the reservation with you! You’ve been replaced with a more compliant, socialist, willing to be disarmed hoard.
