ICE Agents Union to America: AFL-CIO President Trumka does not speak for us on immigration reform ICE Agents Union to America: AFL-CIO President Trumka does not speak for... -- WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --

Regarding President Obama's recent speech on immigration reform, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka was quoted yesterday by YAHOO NEWS! as stating "Unions did have at one point some differences on the issue, but the entire labor movement is entirely behind this now. We'll be at the table the whole time this thing is being developed to make sure it meets the needs of workers."

Unionized ICE Agent's, however, respectfully say, "No President Trumka, there are still differences within the AFL-CIO, and you don't speak for us."

As AFL-CIO affiliates, the Union representing ICE Agents has been excluded by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and his top advisors and prohibited from participating in the development of immigration policy within the AFL-CIO as well as with lawmakers and the Administration.

I suspect many union workers will oppose their leaders on this issue. But, union leaders have always been known for their greed. They don't care about their members. They see illegal aliens as a new cash cow. Bring them in and collect their dues. They only see $$$$$.
