How far will the pro Amnesty Republicans go to appease, Big Labor unions?

election in the American workplace. Starting four years after NAFTA passed in 1998, John J. Sweeney, president of the A.F.L.-C.I.O., began a two-day trip to Mexico--the first by a AFL-CIO president to Mexico--where he said his aim was to encourage Mexican and American unions to help each other in cross-border organizing drives and to find other “practical ways to work together.” Sweeney has opened the borders to all immigrants in his rhetoric today: ” The AFL-CIO and our member unions demand a path to citizenship for Immigrant workers and fair treatment and freedom from exploitation for all the workers of America."

Illegal immigrants know what Sweeney means as many of those same Immigrants are now a part of Sweeney’s plan in this country. These same illegal immigrants realize two things fully: They are here seeking what they think are better jobs but they also understand where to look for them knowing about their own unions and what ours could be via Sweeney’s plan. Sweeney desires in America what all Mexican immigrants know about their unions. In Mexico all public sector workers are unionized and union density rates are still as high as 30 % for the private sector while unions in America are demoralized and in decline. Sweeney has a trap which the unions are about spring on the Republicans that is left out from the current immigration debate but should not be buried. Sweeney’s trap starting in 1998 is a targeted campaign on this side of the border by Big Labor casting aside a means of our democracy-Secret Ballot Elections.

The campaign is really a series of organizing campaigns called card check drives that are making huge inroads in traditionally Republican areas of the South beginning with union successes in Houston and Miami. Why the South for these union card check campaigns that the Democrats haven’t won in years? Could it be because of the proximity to our porous southern border bolsters what may appear now as a small minority election victories into greater union successes boding ill against our working freedom to come?

As pro- amnesty supporters will argue these same illegals help us by taking jobs that no one wants. This is especially true when 11,000,000 illegals become legal through the guest worker program proposed by Congress. These new legal citizens will become a part of the American workforce. But this population explosion in our labor force is being targeted by the unions in their card check organizing drives. Pro- Amnesty supporters, whether they know it or not, are guaranteeing the future of the unions by increasing the pool of workers into industries the unions are targeting--precisely those jobs no one wants....

Realizing this boon, unions have organized pressure on pro-amnesty Republicans to raise the white flag. During the Mayday strikes in LA, which was one of the largest marches of illegal immigrants, unions raised more than $100,000 and were responsible for security, constructing stages and mass mobilization of illegals in the LA county area. Republicans also know that unions payback Democrats at the polls. Unions will use all their might to bring these new immigrants to polls for the Democrats in 06 and 08 to defeat the Republican majority.

There is one counter the Republican conference can take as whole to change this outcome. The counter will take the prime weapon of the Democrats and their union minions away--the end to their card check organizing drives. Such a counter spells out the erosion of union support for pro -amnesty laws in this country. For If unions cannot win elections by their rigged "card check" campaigns why target immigrants at all? Such a counter would also nullify the negative election dynamic if you are pro-amnesty Republican you are not also pro-union. Without a counter Americans will live in fear before a Mexican reshaping of the American labor force along the lines of its vast corruption and greater magnitude of political influence on the Government of Mexico. That single counter that should be used now is the Secret Ballot Protection Act.

The Secret Ballot Protection act gives all legal citizens the right to a Secret Ballot vote. Republicans need to defend this counter that is being challenged by the Kennedy-Miller Bill enshrining the defeat of Democracy in the American workplace. The best defense of the Secret Ballot Protection Act is bringing SBPA to a vote. Without such a vote American workers continue to be subjected to the intimidation and violence of the unions in the public card check process. Unions do not win elections when freedom is involved. By bringing the Secret Ballot Protection Act to a vote with the Immigration Bill and passing it pro- amnesty Republicans will be seen as supporting Democracy in the workplace. Not passing SBPA now but passing amnesty in the immigration Bill will allow unions to grow steadily in power and corruption over the newly legal immigrants betraying the true promise of America to its citizens. SBPA will send a strong signal to illegal aliens everywhere with ideas to shut down cities with their union inspired violence that the path from Mexico City to New York is not a reward for their illegality by making certain a right to the illusory prize of union membership.

The National Alliance for Worker and Employer Rights calls on Majority Leader Frist, HELP Chairman Enzi, Speaker of the House Hastert, Majority Leader Boehner and Chairman Mckeon of Ed & Workforce to strengthen our national border protections against illegal immigrants with even stronger internal borders in our workplace by voting on and passing the Secret Ballot Protection act post haste.

How far will the pro Amnesty Republicans go to appease, Big Labor unions?

Shouldn't that read, "how far will the it's not amnesty, pro-amnesty Republicans go to appease Big Labor Unions?"

Outstanding post! Apparently the Dems/Unions after a sure-fire plan for taking back control of America and the workplace. I believe they just might do it too.

It's going to take a miracle to save the America from RINO's, Dems, the illegal invasion and terrorists. Did I leave anyone out?

Pray for America!

The Unions are against Amnesty. They don't want the low wage competition. Thus the title of this article represent a complete intellectual bankruptcy on the part of author and the Perpetual Whiners who seem to simply scream any nonsense slogan or talking point that validates their emotionally hysteric position. /p>

Apparently you didn't read this: Sweeney has opened the borders to all immigrants in his rhetoric today: ” The AFL-CIO and our member unions demand a path to citizenship for Immigrant workers and fair treatment and freedom from exploitation for all the workers of America."

Seems to me that votes and political power are more important to Sweeney than the good of union workers.

I see. It not about the facts, it about self validation for the Perpetually Pissed.

I'm just quoting the article. And you're the one who always sounds pissed...

The Republican party is lost.

It's time to move on, regroup, reorganize and find a new to means of advancing the conservative agenda.

They are attempting to establish a second class citizens labor pool, much like Southern Aristocrats did with American slaves.

This is a result of the aristocrats of both the Democrap and RINO party of the Senate. Note that we now have three party politics, Republican Party, The RINO party and the Dimocraps. The RINOS are attempting to pull a coup on the neoconservative movement in this country, thinking that we will go away. They are wrong.

We will defeat the RINOS at the polls before they can do any damage, and we will defeat this POS Senate Bill, Which according to Rush Limbaugh is not about immigration, it is about expanding federal government and Balkanizing our nation.

They're actually out there saying that the conservatives don't want to be the reasons that we're standing in the way of progress and success here, and they're going to set you up for the blame if the Senate bill does not maintain itself or remain intact by saying if you don't sign on to moderate, unpopular things like this, that you will lose. It's just the exact opposite. This bill, this immigration bill was written by the open borders lobby, the La Raza-type groups. You can't read this and escape that conclusion. I mean, this bill includes all kinds of traps against enforcement. It confers all kinds of rights on illegal aliens. It's going to make it very, very hard to enforce any of this.

It was written by lawyers. I'm convinced this legislation has been written by lawyers who do this work day in and day out, who litigate on behalf of illegals and seek to change even the most arcane rules to their advantage. Let me cut through all of the noise here, folks, and just hit you right between the eyes. These senators do not want to control immigration. They want to expand it. They don't care whether it's illegal or legal immigration. What they did was vote in favor of changing our society so as to massively empower the federal government. The federal government will have far more control over wages than before. Entitlement programs are going to have to expand in order to accommodate all these new arrivals and their children. Taxes are going to have to go up in order to pay for all this.

Wealth will be redistributed from the middle class to a new class of poor that we are welcoming in here as Senator McCain has so excitedly said in his press conference yesterday. That is exactly what this is about. It's all being done under the rubric of immigration reform. What we're actually doing is importing poverty in order to enhance big government. It is precisely what is going on here. I cannot emphasize this enough. We went through all the details of this bill. You can't possibly assume from reading this that this is actually -- or conclude that this is -- about immigration. It just isn't, and I have been right about that from the get-go.

The editors at National Review have a little editorial today on their website. The Senate wouldn't even vote down the earned income tax credit for illegal immigrants that bop in here as a result of this. So you watch what happens. If this bill remains as is, the impact on the legal system incalculable, the impact on the economy, on the bureaucracy, local and federal level public services, the entitlement crisis. It is a massive, massive pro-poverty bill. Bring in some people here in poverty; get a number of new victims. Our economy is doing well, and there are fewer and fewer victims, fewer and fewer people in poverty. We need this. It's the country club Republicans and the blue-bloods trying to take back the party from the conservatives.
