AFL-CIO - "Family Reunification"
To those who have told me they are good Union supporters and only
the Democrats support Unions, take a look at what your Union dues are
supporting! This is part of a long series of questions sent to me by the state
AFL-CIO as a candidate for Congress. And my reply to those questions.
"The AFL-CIO has a long-standing commitment to the family reunification
principles on which our current immigration laws are based. We also believe in
providing refuge for those fleeing persecution, as well as insuring
compassionate and humane treatment and due process of law for all people who
enter, the United States illegally."
"The AFL-CIO supports retention of the current family visa categories and
numbers, and opposes efforts to make it easier for employers to recruit foreign
workers to avoid the expense of retraining resident workers or citizen workers.
We support fair hearings for asylum seekers, and oppose a cap on refugee
admissions. And we believe that establishing a national database to verify the
identity, employment and benefit eligibility of every person in the U.S. will
only exacerbate the discrimination effects of sanctions imposed on employers who
hire undocumented workers."
My Reply:
Once again, in my opinion you are subverting the cause of American labor by
supporting open-ended immigration both legal and illegal. It is not the job of
the AFL-CIO to reunify the families of Aliens, or to see to it once an alien
arrives here, he or she can take a job that should go first to American workers.
It makes no sense to support policies that rob American workers of their jobs.
And I am sure the majority of your members would agree with me on that.
Did you know you were supporting the importation of illegal aliens and their
families with your Union dues? So, BOTH Big Capital and Big Labor, in the
Republican and Democratic Parties, are working TOGETHER TO DESTROY THE AMERICAN
WORKER!
