Why do union (members) support illegal immigration?

1. More democrats means more pro labor laws. Once democrats have a strangle hold on American politics with influx of 30 million democrats not only will you have the right to organize, it will be mandatory.

2. SEIU is service workers - a workforce today of largely non union and illegal using fake SS cards to get jobs. Once they are legal with the help of SEIU they will come into SEIU fold and make union biggest and richest. McDonalds workers and janitors will make $15 an hour instead of $7.

Outrageous! Even Mcdonalds workers need a living wage. Everyone in America should receive at least the average wage!!!!

I know why the union suits support illegal immigration and amnesty and that is because they see new members and more profits.....I mean revenue......I mean union dues.

What I don't understand is why members of unions support illegal immigration and amnesty. If there is a limited number of jobs why would union members want more people to compete with them for jobs?

I just find it interesting that union members turn out to support the suits at protests when it is against their self interest.

Illegals are already competing with the union. By making them legal (and therefore have to pay taxes), it will require the illegals to raise their rates to make the same $$$. That is good for the union.

Also as you said some who became legal would likely also join the union for even higher pay. Which is fine.

Is there any evidence that rank and file union members support illegal immigration? I suspect the most likely explanation of the appearance of union support is that rank and file union members are woefully ignorant of their right to not have their union dues used for political activities they do not support as outlined in CWA v Beck.
