The Unions and Illegal Immigration

What are the unions doing, supporting an amnesty for illegal immigrants? The "free" movement of labour is inseparable from that of goods, services and capital, and none of those "freedoms" can be contained within any legal framework, which is why those (a tiny number) who benefit from them materially (though not in any other way, but that doesn't bother them) want and welcome such "freedoms".

A new working class is being imported, which understands no English except commands, has no idea of workers' rights in this country, can be moved around at will because it has no attachment to any specific locality here, and can be deported if it steps out of line. The existing working class can then just be made to go hang, taking with it its unions, its minimum wage, its health and safety regulations, and the rest.

The unions (and the Catholic Church, also supporting this proposed amnesty) should indeed be in the vanguard. On the other side.
