So if we get guest workers,will the unions be able to organize them to demand more pay and benefits? If so, it kinds of defeats the purpose for cheap labor.

Not to worry. Since the President has absolutely no intent of enforcing either the border or the interior, the guest workers will quickly find themselves competing with a fresh batch of illegals.

Yep. They will. And because of withholdings included in those paychecks, they wont be as cheap as the their now Illegal variant.

BINGO!!! Buy the man a drink!

The people that use and abuse illegal aliens will still need them to undercut legal wages. When these illegals are given guest worker cards, they will be legal and be standing around with way too many other "legal" guest workers now who complain that the illegals took their jobs! And yes, the Unions want them. Many unions contribute to Maldef, LaRaza, etc.
