Just as elected politicians have sold out their voters, so has union leadership sold out the rank in file. Clinton betrayed union workers by signing NAFTA. I have often asked union members why they continued to support Clinton through impeachment after he sold them out on NAFTA, the answer was they felt they had no where else to go. I now appreciate the feeling, just as union members are trapped in the Democrat party, fiscal conservatives and nationalists are trapped in the big spending, internationalist amnesty party of Republicans run by Rockefeller Republicans calling themselves compassionate conservatives and pimping for the likes of Vincente Fox and Teddy Kennedy.
That’s one thing I cannot understand. If Big Labor feels it was sold down the river by the Dems on NAFTA, shouldn’t it fear it will be sold down the river on immigration? I just don’t get it . . . unless the unions are convinced they can unionize the immigrants. I just don’t see that as a certainty.
