Migration, Etc. (was Re: Wen Ho Lee Support)

[Max Sawicky]

. . .
Steelworkers and other mass production workers were once predominantly new
immigrants, no?  (In fact, the ratio of the foreign-born to the native-born
workers was much higher in the early decades of this century than now.)
But the unions organized them anyway.  That's the spirit we need.

Thank you for the inspirational message, but unions have
been organizing workers in the U.S., legal or no.
It's already been happening.  There is no contradiction
between anti-WTO politics and organizing foreign-born
workers in the U.S.  It is those who can't get in sync
with the movement who keep dragging in spurious charges
re immigration, nationalism, or god help us social
imperialism.
