Reply #10: I hold nothing against illegals coming to work

I support them doing so.

I'd like to see organized labor embracing them. I think people are a little naive when it comes to supply and demand curves as applied to low income work. Supply and Demand only works when people have choice. People stuck doing low income work are caught between a rock and a hard place. Organized labor Unions gives them access to collective bargaining which helps improve their chances. People that low on the economic scale are not subjective to supply and demand.

The curve works the same for low income labor as it does for medical goods. It'a all about basic needs and survival.

The only way to overcome the negative effects of NAFTA is through a rejuvinated organized labor movement. It's much easier to raise wages through strikes and boycotts.
