Charles' blog raises even more questions about why the SEIU is fighting so hard for illegal foreign workers while its current union members find it so hard to keep their jobs in the face of foreign labor competition. The SEIU led the way last week in sponsoring the pro-amnesty march in Washington and in attacking NumbersUSA's freedom of speech and mobility.

Major Jewish groups have started a campaign saying we should welcome the illegally present because we were strangers in the land of Egypt. But Exodus is very clear that the Jews went to Egypt at the specific direction of the Pharaoh. That means they entered and settled in the country legally. The Jews went to Egypt because there a severe famine in Canaan and all the surrounding lands. There is no such situation in the countries that are sending us large numbers of illegal aliens.

Many unions have declared themselves in favor of legalization of the illegal aliens residing in our nation. For the future, the unions have called for an independent commission to set immigration levels in response to labor market needs. But due to the enormous amount of money made off cheap labor, such a commission would be subject to enormous pressure, even bribery. Why not let the legal American voters decide on the level of immigration? It would be hard to bribe over 100 million voters.

An Illegal alien graduated from Harvard this June. A sob story newspaper article bemoaned his lack of options, stating that he thought that the Dream Act would be law by now. The reporter neglected to mention that the Harvard alumni network is over 1,000 strong in Mexico, and includes the current and former presidents of that country. This guy should be able to find a good job, legally, in Mexico.
