The companies then moved their plants to rural areas, far from the Midwest cities and their unions.

That's not true. You can't move away from unions. Who is it that is going to court for these illegal workers? Unions, that's who. What I don't understand is how the unions support these illegal aliens that have driven wages down across a whole industry.

The unions do not care what their employees make. They just want their dues.

I'll bet that unions that have lots of illegal members exploit that fact and can coerce higher dues from them.

Unions used to have a purpose. Most of them now are simply organized crime.

Because Unions are losing American workers, to stay viable they had to look elsewhere and found a gold mine in illegals.... one example is the construction trade which is specifically backing illegal workers today.

BTW, Arizona just released their most common baby names for 2006 today. Angel for boy's and Mia for girl's. Neither list had an American Name in the top five.

Because the Unions get their cut in dues off the top. Were you under the mistaken impression that they actually cared about their members?
