If unions are so concerned about their members, why are they not fighting the effort to allow 12 million illegals in country that will drive their member wages down? They dont give a rats @$$.

Because they plan to unionize the illegals once they become 'legal'.

Ergo, more money for the union bosses, and more money for the rat socialists.

Because they are concerned about their membership numbers, not their members.

Large numbers of legalized, unskilled laborers that they can potentially unionize is ideal for the unions.

Happy, satisfied workers also have little need for a union, so it really isn't in the union leadership's best interests to do too good of a job of looking after the interests of their members. They are better off just finding ways of blaming everything on the employers and evil corporations, while not really solving problems.

LOL, where's Cesar Chavez when you need him to call immigration.

Greg Mourad, who specializes in legislative affairs for the National Right to Work Committee, said he does not expect the Senate to pass a cloture vote on the bill. He said Democrats just need to “throw a bone to their labor union bosses.”

He also said it was “obscene” that Democrat leadership would “interrupt important debate in immigration and war issues to have a throw away vote they know is going to lose on an issue as evil as card check.”

That guy's words show who is pushing the immigration bill, and, aside from a few exceptions, it isn't organized labor.
