Of course... I'm against lawlessness and illegal immigration as much as anyone is. But with this crowd, "illegals" means "Mexicans", legal or otherwise. I'm from Texas and live in NYC. I've worked warehouses in 100 degree Texas summers with Mexicans who couldn't speak English, and from my experiences, if I've got a job I need to do, I will take those guys over many of the unionizes "Americans" I've seen up here. A friend here was telling me recently about a union worker who had been hired by his firm to move some computers from one building to another. My friend's computer was slow in arriving and it was getting late in the day and he HAD to have the computer in place before the start of the next day... yet the union workers (still on the clock) would not bring his computer over from the other building because they had filled their pre-arranged quota for the day or something. So my friend, fed up, finally just said, "Fine. I'll go over there and get it myself," at which point the union worker told him to hang on, he could not be doing this since it was their job and this would cause a legal conflict, and that the union worker would call his supervisor to see if it was OK for the union worker to go get the computer. This kind of story in the completely unionized Northeast (they're blue states for a reason) is nothing unusual. I am so glad that this type of Marxist insanity is so inherently absure to Texans, and I would take every single Mexican I have ever met in my life over white, American, union workers like the one my friend encountered.
Blacks were more likely to be union members (16.9 percent) than either whites (12.8 percent) or Hispanics (10.5 percent). Black men had the highest unionization rate (18.2 percent) among the major demographic groups, and Hispanic women and white women had the lowest rates, 9.8 percent and 10.9 percent, respectively.
I know facts don't mean much to you, but I figured I'd post them anyway.
