The goals of labor and immigrant rights groups are the same."

What B.S. ! I'm in a machinist union and I realize this only dilutes our wages. Like it or not, organized labor in this country has always been for very low immigration rates thus bringing wages up because of a smaller labor pool.

Our union bosses who go along with this are traitors.

It's interesting because Cesar Chavez and the early UFW union was very much opposed to illegal immigration and even went to the border in an attempt to stop immigrants being brought in for the purpose of keeping wages very low.

How about the mealy mouthedness of our Fedguv? If they'd put half the fire and brimstone into this that they do into medpot, it would be a vast improvement.
