I just about fell out of my chair (leaning backward). So boman do you have any information about weather or not this an ongoing suit?

Mickey, All I can say is these lawmakers are creating some of the worst PATHETIC changes that our times have ever seen.

No change. Nothing different than what has been done the prior 8 years.
The illegals will get the jobs only if the employers hire them. This is where unions would come in to put a stop to it by picketing sites and slowing the jobs down, causing the contractors who hire the illegals to get hurt in the wallet.....That is if the republicans hadn't been doing their best to wipe out the unions for the past 20 years.

Have you been sleeping for the past two months comrade?





Unions support illegal immigration, they could give a crap about the working man or the US citizen, all they care about is their cut.

No, I just read it in the srticle you posted the link to, and was somewhat perplexed. But then again, we all know some contractors do hire illegals.

Chamber of Commerce? I guess they are looking at the cash flow or the money that is spent by illegals.

It seems to bebusiness as usual to me. Well, maybe not for white middle class men who are in the trades now.

That just burns me- Federal stimulus spending should be going to help Americans, not people that don't belong here in the first place. The fact that congress thought to put it in the bill, and then these groups worked to have it removed just angers me to no end.

We may have a way to get out of this mess!

The goverment just pissed off the wrong guy.

By unions I'm talking about Carpenter's, Electrician's, Roofer's. These guys won't stand for it. They don't want US citizens taking their jobs let alone illegals. I have a friend who's a retired union roofer. I remember him telling me about guys who "took a walk" of a roof for crossing the union back in the '70's. When there was plenty of work the unions haven't raised a stink, now that their jobs are drying up you will see a lot more action on their part.

mickeyco

They don't have a choice, they'll be working with them the Unions are actively recruiting illegal aliens and anyone or anything else that can pay union dues.

Here is one of tons of stories on the Unions support for illegal aliens:

I'll say it again, the Unions could give two sh!ts about the working man or the US citizen, all they care about is their cut, they don't care if the money comes from a citizen or an illegal alien, they don't care if the illegal aliens lower wages or are out raping and killing thousands of Americans every year, they care only about the money, period.

I had to re-read the article again...cause I was just to pissed off the first time I read it that I only read half of the story. We'll see what happens in June/July if it passes legislation.
