L.A. Union Member's Dues Used for Pro-Illegal Alien Bus Tour

A few days ago Michelle Malkin received an email from an outraged Service Employees International Union (SEIU) member in Los Angeles who was mad that his dues money was going to pay for a pro-illegal alien bus tour planned by union leaders.

The tour was supposed to start in L.A. and end up in Phoenix, Arizona and was meant to highlight the supposed evils of Arizona's SB1070, the anti-illegal immigrant law that has been so much in the news. The union member that contacted Malkin was apparently "furious" over the union's plans.

I am furious over this and wrote an email back to them to tell them so. I forget to mention to them I am especially upset over them using my dues to pay for this bus and the trip

Well, now the L.A. Times has confirmed the story the outraged union member reported first to Malkin....

I just bought a new car - - one that was NOT union made.

Some person is going to make a patriotic union and cash in...big time.

Looking on the bright side, these idiots are going to Phoenix in July.

Doesn’t this amount to RICO?

I worked in a Union shop for a long, long time. Most of us were Repubicans, believe it or not, and we had a constant battle with the Unions always supporting Demwit candidates and trying to speak for us and using our money to do so.

Union pension funds in the U.S. are insolvent. This results from the financial crisis, fiscal mismanagement and shrinking membership. Union bosses need millions of warm, dues paying bodies in the form of illegal aliens. This plan meshes with the DNC who hopes Obama can legalize between 10 and 20 million aliens by executive fiat one week, then register them all as Democrat voters the next week.

Anything that benefits unions is almost always poison for the rest of us.
