Ruben Navarrette: Lessons for Democrats

Organized labor believes that foreign workers of any kind — legal or illegal — threaten U.S. workers. And it contributes enough money to Democrats to get them to believe it, too.

This portion (above) of Navarette's piece is mostly science fiction. Major unions oppose illegal immigrants?

Try googling SEIU and AFL/CIO, genius.

The Union to which I belong has a Spanish language insert in it's monthly "newspaper" which panders to those of the illegal persuasion. Most of it is not the same subject matter printed in the English section, presumably because there would be significant outrage if it were.
