A Washington Times front-page story on how the pro-amnesty forces are tanned, rested, and ready actually highlights one of their greatest weaknesses. Apart from the fact that the public doesn’t agree with them and there’s 10 percent unemployment, there’s the huge problem that business isn’t enthusiastic about the amnesty framework that’s being proposed. Union leader Eliseo Medina of SEIU tried to spin this by saying “We have a united labor movement”– but that’s not a strength, because last time the labor federation headed by his union worked intimately with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to pass amnesty, with the AFL-CIO standing aloof because of the big guestworker programs. Now, the SEIU figures it no longer has to humor the running dogs of capital and it has embraced the AFL-CIO opposition to guestworker programs (thus the “united labor movement”). But that means the Chamber isn’t buying, and without them, you’re not going to get an immigration bill. Schumer is no doubt trying to come up with a Senate version of the bill that business can live with, but if there’s a large guestworker program, both labor federations will balk.
