that are destroying the economy. I have to say that I am completely fucking amazed!!!! I am blown away at how quickly the citizens of this country lose site of their goals when given the opportunity to attack one another. I have never seen people willing to go on the attack with such reckless abandon on these issues;
1)CAFTA
2)NAFTA
3)WTO
4)WELFARE REFORM
5)BANKRUPTCY REFORM
6)OVERTIME REFORM
7)"THE DEATH TAX"
8) TAFT HARTLY
9) RIGHT TO WORK STATES

as they are to attack illegal aliens. Illegal workers have always been a part of this economy as long as I can remember. Not to mention many fought your grandparents coming over here by legal and illegal means making the same ridiculous claims of "they steal our jobs". The difference being is that some people organized with those who were supposedly "stealing our jobs" and made greater gains for the middle class than those who were screaming to kick them out. They took something that could have been misdirected class anger and channeled it into positive action.

Many of them had their lives taken from them for doing so.

Now today we are back to the same situation on an issue that divides labor of all walks of life and people are taking the bait. Those that are advocating for stricter immigration laws, wall building, and troops along the border are further to the right on this issue than the great union buster Ronald Reagan was!!!!!!!

I can't imagine brain dead Ronnie screaming "Build that Wall!!!!!!" Ronnie Reagan was not friend to labor.

The issues I listed above are more harmful to labor than illegal immigration is. Not to mention if those that care about the exploitation of labor through NAFTA, CAFTA, and WTO are willing to take the bait on this issue, you may as well cash in your chips now. NAFTA, CAFTA, and WTO are set up in such a way where citizenship does not matter and borders are used to crush labor through weaker regulations on the other side.

We, as the left, have always had a principle that we the people stand together. It is not the government of corporate news outlet that is going to give you an honest scoop on how to protect your labor. That is the issue here!!!! Your not going to win anything in this life by attacking your fellow laborers (Want to see those illegals disappear? Sign them on to labor Unions and watch how quickly the FBI acts. Nothing scares these corporate dummies more than a citizenry willing to act together as one).

PROTECTING YOUR LABOR. Not your jobs!!!! The only way to protect your labor is to embrace those illegal workers and sign them on to unions. GET EVERYONE ON BOARD.
