Unions have their own best interests in mind: Not yours (even if you are a member) and definitely not the nation’s.
About 1,000 nonunion workers, mostly Hispanics upset with the recent firing of immigrants for allegedly providing false documents, walked off their jobs at a Smithfield Foods Inc. slaughtering plant, a union spokeswoman said.
About 300 workers were protesting this morning outside the plant in Tar Heel, N.C., said Libby Manly, a representative of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, which helped organize the protest and has been trying for years to form a union at the plant. The plant is considered the world’s largest hog slaughtering plant.

Smithfield spokesman Dennis Pittman said the company was only complying with a request from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to gather the names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth and gender of workers at the plant. About 600 workers were found to have unverifiable information. The company fired about 75 people for providing false information, he said.
When the unions look at illegal aliens they do not see lawbreakers, they see dollar signs. They know that someone in the country illegally is as easily manipulated by them as they are by under-the-table employers.

Even after their loss, some Republicans at National Review, and Robert Novak, WILL NOT bend on amnesty. See how they ridicule Tancredo? This issue is LOST for GOOD. We spoke up too late. If you haven’t made it out of the middle class by now, look forward to a future as a butler.
