Two Seeming GOP U-Turns on Immigration Matters
By David North on February 6, 2021
Usually Republican appointees favor employers of foreign farmworkers, rather than the workers.
Usually, such appointees do not seek to use labor unions to advance GOP policies.
While both of those generalizations remain sound ones, we saw exceptions to both this past week in Washington.
In the first, a long-time GOP appointee, hearing arguments in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, lashed out from the bench at a long-time advocate for farm employers.
In the second, the departing acting deputy secretary of DHS signed an agreement with the ICE officers' union, seemingly giving it veto power over DHS policies in the future, which would tie the hands of the incoming Biden administration.
