44. Undocumented immigrants don't compete for union jobs.

Thu Jul 10, 2014, 01:55 PM

Jul 2014

I am in the SEIU. Documented immigrants in our union who work for the service industry have been fighting for a $10.00/ hr living wage long before you ever thought about it. They can out organize any of us and in Santa Monica and other cities they have won bringing the rest of us the benefit of their hard won gains.
Your bull shit scare propaganda was learned from someone just like you who doesn't know what the truth is!

What is your solution to the problem of the disappearance of well paying jobs pnwmom Jul 2014 #18

He doesn't have one - just the GOP position of giving away what last few good American jobs are left FreakinDJ Jul 2014 #32

Wrong - it increased H1B visas 400% FreakinDJ Jul 2014 #29
