The president of the nation's largest farm labor union issued a warning to growers yesterday demanding that they support legalization of undocumented workers.

No.

Unless they PROMISE to vote GOP

Thanks for the flag.

Arturo Rodriguez?

Ask him for his green card. Maybe he's looking to become legal himself.

Demanding?

I would like for this character to demand something of me. I have a bad habit of sitting on my butt and doing nothing when people place demands on me. The farmers should do the same.

This is nothing new. The Unions will charge workers making $4.00 an hour or $10.00 an hour the same $20.00 a month in dues. The more illegals that join their unions, the more money and power they have.

Wisconsin Senator, Herb Kohl, helped the Retail Clerks Union of Illinois lower the wages of all grocery store employees, when he owned Kohl's Food Stores.

The stores were able to hire more employees, for less money, and the Union was able to charge them all $20.00 a month, just the same.

The Union and store owners made out like bandits and the employees got the shaft.

Rodriguez warned that a larger agricultural guest-worker program without amnesty for undocumented immigrants would create a disposable work force and reduce job prospects for those already working in the United States.

"The rationale would be we should do the same thing for service workers. We should do the same with workers who work in poultry and meatpacking," he said.

So his concern about job prospects for U.S. workers motivates his opposition to guest worker programs. But his alternative is an amnesty for illegals. Not the most persuasive argument he could make.
