Union sees immigration reform as winning issue for Democrats
By Sean J. Miller - 05/10/10 07:03 PM ET

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) will turn its attention from healthcare to immigration reform ahead of the 2010 midterm elections.

“We are stepping up our immigration reform efforts as a union-wide national campaign the same way we did for healthcare,â€

SEIU is feeling very empowered under the current administration.

Must have more union members, must have more power, must have more votes, must have more money.

Nothing so apalling as having American unions fighting against American workers. This is outrageous!

B.S.......It's all about replenishing union rolls with illegal alien voters, as unions are losing members due to pervasive corruption and their self serving agenda. Samuel Gompers must be spinning in his grave......

Yes I have been livid about this for some years now. Nobody around me could "get it" when I was upset about the "Freedom Ride For Immigrant Workers" in '03. Of course nobody from my union cared to have a discussion about it either.

This guy in the article, Morillo, he has to do what he has to do but I know he is wrong. This issue creates new divisions and also unites likeminded people from different parties. This is only the tip of a huge issue that most citizens have been doing a slow burn about for decades. No more H1B1 Visas at the expense of citizens! No more foreigners from around the planet having options that citizens don't get!

As far as I can tell things have gotten real quiet except that I heard on the radio that the Phoenix Hispanic Chamber is requesting that people don't boycott - for the exact same reasons I said - our illegal problem will have to go away.

This issue has affected the entire population for decades - from engineering types like Joe Stack to the local nail salon competing with 10 Vietnamese illegally working off the same license for cheaper. All across the spectrum citizens have been shunted aside or faced unfair competition from foreigners who "gamed the system" often with the help of our government.

We are not saying white citizens first. We are not saying black citizens first. We are not saying NDN citizens first. This is not about ethnicity at all and it never was. We are just saying CITIZENS FIRST!
