I'm a Union member and I've just realized someone could say they're a Union member and then proceed to make an argument from authority that is completely false. I've been a Union member for 83 years and I'm so angry at them.

[oldgrumpyguy1927]

@mrcoldheart You have been a Union member for 83 years? Are you a centurion? What union were you in?

I was part of the steel workers union most of my life and I'm flabbergasted at the way these union leaders throw around dues money to support political agendas. Why would they spend money defending illegal immigrants who then take the jobs of union workers? Makes no sense.

[mrcoldheart]

@oldgrumpyguy1927 That doesn't make sense. If a immigrant worker is part of a union then they pay dues just like you. You should prob focus on stopping political agendas that are anti-union, which there are a lot of.

@mrcoldheart What planet have you been living on? Everything political of late falls the way of the Union. Unions haven't done anything good for people since the 1950's and was there to remember.  So, you want more workers coming in taking American jobs? You might as well be for outsourcing, it's the same thing. These workers send most of their money back to Mexico and Central America. You need to wake up and smell the coffee and stop drinking the Kool-Aid.

@oldgrumpyguy1927 Mr old guy, just because your life only allowed you one viewpoint doesn't mean you get to ignore other Americans. My grandfather, uncle, grandmother, and mother were all union. You sound like a ideologue fool when you say things like "unions haven't done anything for people". Unless you're upper management at major corp you should refrain from saying things that aren't even reasonably sound on the matter.

@mrcoldheart I was a dues paying Union worker for 45 years. At the time, I fought and picketed right next to my union brothers. Now sitting back and doing the math, I realize that there was very little gained by it and the Union leaders were the ones who really benefited. 8 weeks on strike to get an extra 4 cents an hour and some pension benefits...what a laugh...I never made up the lost 8 weeks of wages and the pension benefits went in the wind when the company went bankrupt. We were fools!

How can a Union, or the Government, or even a "book club" represent both illegal aliens and U.S. citizens at the same time?! It's like an attorney representing both sides of a case! Illegal aliens, by the very nature of their status, work against, and are against, the rights and sovereignty of any and all citizens of a nation! Citizens must play by the rules but illegal aliens dont!!! All SEIU represents is B.S.!!!

On occasion, heavily armed Mexican soldiers have crossed over into US territory and fired on U.S. Border Patrol personnel. In one case, a Border Patrol helicopter over U.S. soil was fired upon by a 10-man unit of what appeared to be Mexican soldiers wearing tactical vests and carrying high-powered rifles. In another case, sixteen heavily armed Mexican soldiers in Humvee military vehicles chased American Border Patrol officers more than a mile into U.S. territory.

The cost is being paid by the American taxpayers in more ways than money. Medical service in affected communities is being severely damaged as hospitals absorb more than $200 million in unreimbursed costs. Some emergency rooms have shut down because they cannot afford to stay open. That means local tax-paying Americans are either denied medical care or have to wait in long lines for service as the illegals flood the facilities

Unions were founded by "jews" like communism, socialism, and liberalism. Just part of the agenda to destroy the middle classes of all Christian nations on earth. They help undercut America's productivity and profitibility. Dean Berry Ministries

@mrcoldheart How do illegals get to be union members?

C SPAN “Black Republican Forum” Session 2 (begin at 11:30) Allen West said one of the 1986 caveats was to secure our borders and enforcement our laws, but haven’t happened. (We’re still talking about new amnesty like DREAM Act.) We can’t allow local cities to make sanctuary cities policies, because they will bring our inner city turf wars to epic proportions by bringing in the drug cartel and Columbian gangs. (Mexican Gangs don’t recognize our borders established by the Treaty of Guadalupe)

In November 2010, the unemployment rate was 9.8% with 15.1 million unemployed. (15.1 million/9.8%) = 154 million are able to work in the workforce. 11,941,812 (or 11.9 million) skilled jobs provided to illegal immigrants. GOOGLE “illegal immigration counters”, the 15.1 million unemployed could take the 11.9 million available jobs. The unemployment rate could be reduced to 2.1% {{15.1-11.9)/154}

@mrcoldheart, it is because unions are so pro illegal immigration that most private sector workers would not touch a union. Its obvious that unions are not acting in workers interest, unions are acting in their own interest for greed and power.
