I was talking amnesty. I agree with Scott Walker busting unions. Also I agree with appealing to union workers whether they leave or stay in the union.
When Rand or Boehner talks about “just legalizing” the illegals they are inviting the illegals to take all sorts of jobs outside of restaurants and farms. Like in banks, armored trucks, offices and military installations. Compassionate amnesty lite is heartless to working and middle class people.
This is in fact a point that is not hammered enough and you are entirely correct. To adopt your position into my own theme: why does the GOP run away from the immigration issue, when it should be saying that any form of amnesty [including non-citizenship "guest worker" programs] is going to harm the most vulnerable people in our society? It isn't going to hurt the very rich: they love their near-slave labor. The Koch Brothers and Soros are in agreement on this; very rich Democrats and very rich Republicans both want lots more cheap jobs, and they want the jobs to stay cheap. Amnesty is going to displace low-skill, low-wage people. As a matter of fact, it is going to harm new, legally minted Latinos more than probably any other group except [possibly] Blacks.
