"They are right about NAFTA at least."

THAT is the funniest post I've read in AGES! They're LYING about NAFTA.Important information at the source.

The AFL-CIO's call for amnesty means more union members! Join to stop unscrupulous employers abusing undocumented workers! Throughout the history of this country, immigrants have played an important role in building our nation and its democratic institutions. New arrivals form every continent have contributed their energy, talent and commitment to making the USA and the American union movement richer and stronger. Newly arriving workers continue to make indispensable contributions to the strength and growth of our unions, benefitting all workers. The AFL-CIO believes the current system of immigration enforcement in the United States is broken and needs to be fixed. Undocumented workers should be provided permanent legal status through a new amnesty program. They should have full workplace rights in order to protect the labor interests of all American workers.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t cheap labor from immigrants one of the reasons labor unions were started in the first place? To protect against slave labor and child labor?
