Why do so many unions seem to support open borders and illegal immigration? Capital Research Center's Michael Watson shares the background why.
Have you ever wondered why, on the topic of immigration, unions have gone from protectionism to tacitly supporting so-called “open borders?”

In the episode of Labor Relations Radio, Michael Watson, Research Director for the Capital Research Center shares what can be considered an ‘origin story’ on how unions went from favoring tighter restrictions on immigration to almost no restrictions at all today.
