That doesn't make any sense. If the conspiracy is that voting for amnesty will decrease tradesman wages, either you are wrong...or tradesmen are dumb as a sack of rocks. Why would anyone be part of a massive conspiracy to depress their own wages?

OP you are right. The question has been asked but they defend it because Obama wants it. It's just another thing that will hurt his supporters.

Nobody is claiming a conspiracy. Just stating these union folks are dumb as hell supporting a party that wants to amnesty millions of people that would be delighted to do the unions job for half the price.

I know a lot of these guys.....they do what their union bosses tell them.

"Vote democrat!"

They are, for the most part non-thinkers.....they cannot see tomorrow let alone a year from now.

Why would "our" government push this once again?

We have seen the effects for decades ('65 & on).
There were big promises made several times that never came to pass (sure sounds familiar).

I would say Occam's razor between a large majority of hundreds of thousands of tradesman in this country being borderline mentally disabled versus a really stupid conspiracy proposed by one single person. Considering the low numbers of people that believe really wacky things, that seems more plausible.

And why create this new J-Visa for unskilled workers and also say they are exempt from Obamacare mandates.
It's like they want American citizens displaced from their jobs.
