One argument against illegal immigration is that it suppresses wages for the average American worker. If that's the case, why the hell is the SEIU going to Arizona to rally against that state's immigration law?
As a judge weighs whether to halt Arizona's controversial immigration law, hundreds of Los Angeles union members and activists are planning a bus caravan to Phoenix on Thursday — the day the law is set to take effect.
More than 550 people plan to ride on 11 buses to Arizona to stage a protest and launch a partnership with Arizona groups to boost voter registration. During the one-day trip, sponsored by the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, participants will meet with Phoenix Police Chief Jack Harris, march to the state Capitol and hold a vigil. The participants represent 32 unions.
Huh?
It's the same thing with the union support of Cap and Trade laws. Did it ever occur to these guys that most coal miners are union. How about drilling in Alaska and the Gulf? those jobs are excellent paying union jobs, yet the unions are working with our incompetent administration to kill those very jobs.
If I were a skeptical type, I might think that a pack of global marxists were running our unions.

Exactly right. The left goes ape shit over minimum wage. And so do the unions since union wages are pegged to minimum wage. So why is the left not going ballistic over the millions of illegals that sneak in and work at well under minimum? Because deep down the power brokers on the left know forcing minimum wage would put millions of sub-minwage laborers out of work and drastically reduce incentive for future democrat voters...er uh...undocumented migrants to cross the border.
Now that all makes sense in a sick sort of way if you are a kook lefty politician or a one of his parasitic union bosses who lives high on the hog by supporting left causes. But why does the rank and file put up with this shit? If I'm paying union dues and my job is on the bubble, why would I be marching in support of mass migration into this country of people willing to do my job for a 60% discount?
This is why they don't teach economics in high school. Two mandatory days of instruction on basic supply and demand for every high school senior would wipe out the entire left within 2 election cycles.
