Yup. With all due respect to rampant political mythology, the unions I work with were unanimously and vigorously opposed to even the legal inflow as provided in NAFTA. Building trades unemployment is conservatively estimated at 30% right now, in the relatively robust economy of Seattle, WA. Their position (my local Seattle bldg trades unions) is that OUR jobs are for OUR people.
