Democrats need to stop pandering to organized labor, a group that is always predisposed to view immigration as a problem because it sees immigrants as competition. Many unions have come around to the idea of legalizing illegal immigrants because it means a chance to enlist new members, but not if it means swallowing the GOP’s demand to bring in additional batches of temporary guest workers. 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.
