I haven't heard any yapping from the American labor Unions on this issue. Did I miss it? If you were paying someone to protect your interests at work from greedy bosses etc, wouldn't you be PO'd if a bunch of foreign nationals came into the country and agreed to work for below minimum wage and cut you as a paying member of the labor party, out of your job? Seems to me a labor union doing it's job properly would pitch a big stink about all this?
Could it be that the Unions know that these newcomer laborers are here to stay and ultimately they want to enlist them in their unions too, and don't want to "alienate" the new American workers (currently illegal aliens)?

Some would argue that Labor Unions are the reason for this problem to a certain degree. Others might say the Illegals don't complain. The fact that they don't complain is the problem. If we were a nation of people who didn't complain enough, we might be living down there somewhere south of the border and being enslaved and mistreated by our own government. All this ruckus we are making about this issue is the point. We ARE COMPLAINING and we are not going to stand for this travesty.

You are right about them being quiet. Many middle-of-the road Senators have been saying that unions want to unionize the illegal immigrants.

I am not sure. The meat packing industry let some go and hired Illegals (this I know) but never heard what the union did to stop this. Interesting question-I wonder.
Schools allow them-never here from their union-although you don't have to be a citizen to attend school

More immigrants means more union membership. More union membership means more dues. More dues means the Labor bosses make their Ferrari payment next month.
Labor unions haven't cared about honest workers' rights in DECADES. They're just after their contractual commissions.

Che and Cesar Chavez hated them because they undercut wages. I have to assume unions would consider them scabs. On the other hand, I can see them wanting the illegals legalized so they can bring them into unions and make them pay dues....

I AM A UNION IRONWORKER AND I HAD TO COMPLETE A CERTAIN LEVEL OF EDUCATION TO KNOW WHAT I AM DOING ON THE JOB BUILDING SKY SCRAPERS,BRIDGES,ETC. I DON'T WANT AN ILLEGAL BUILDING A BUILDING THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!! WE FIGHT EVERY YEAR FOR BETTER WAGES, BENEFITS,ETC. IF THEY START HIRING ILLEGALS TO WORK UNION FOR LESS, THEN WHAT HAVE WE BEEN FIGHTING FOR?????
I WORK IN A UNION STATE AND DON'T AGREE WITH THESE RIGHT TO WORK STATES.IRONWORKERS ARE FROM A LONG LINE OF TRADESMEN THAT TAKE PRIDE IN THE WORK THEY DO.IT'S ALOT OF HARD WORK,DEDICATION , AND EDUCATION.
WOULD YOU WANT SOMEONE BUILDING YOUR HOME AND NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE DOING????
AND PANCHA WE ARE NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING TO WORK. WE ARE FIGHTING FOR OUR RIGHTS AS AMERICAN CITIZENS.
