The Antisocial Socialist

Fantastic pics from France. Love that "Inaccompli de '68" especially. Can't help hoping there's something really revolutionary going on there...

Great immigration post too. Do wonder though... if you turn his (ironic) argument round: if the immigrants already there in the US were to succeed in unionising themselves and winning decent wages and conditions and forcing employers to keep to them, would that stop or greatly reduce the flow of immigrants because the employers would no longer be able to use them as cheap labour? And if so, what would we reckon to the xenophobes campaigning for union recognition and labour rights as a means of halting immigration???

(Yes, there is some devil's advocacy going on here...)
