Organized labor paid the price for embracing illegal migrants

There’s a paradox when it comes to unions in America in 2024: On the one hand, approval for labor unions is higher than it’s been since 1965; Americans increasingly see the value of collective bargaining to protect workers from corporations.

And yet, just 6% of private sector workers are unionized, a number that has not significantly budged despite the rising popularity of unions.

The author's new book, in which she details the link between the benefits of unions and the role of illegal migration.

What gives? 

To answer this question, I took a pilgrimage to one of America’s great union towns: Las Vegas.

Vegas is the Promised Land for service-industry workers.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
