At one time, unions were needed. They are now a thing of the past but still drain the pockets of the very company that pays their way. Personally, they should be left to fail. History shows that something better comes along to fill the void. We would be throwing good money after bad in this instance.

Good points, but something has to give here. You don't want companies to pay employees so much and provide healthcare, retirement etc. Ok, that is understandable. Then you don't want the government to pick up the tab because that would be communism or welfare. Ok, the companies want to bring in cheap Mexican labor; then the same people who are anti-union, anti-welfare then become anti-immigrant. You can't have it all is what I am trying to say.
What's it going to be? Have companies pay employees benefits? Let the government pay it? Bring in Mexican labor and just send the expensive white people home unemployed? You have to pick and choose, you can't have it all. American's won't be slaves. Mexicans will for a little while, then they will want more of the pie.
