Republicans have proven that this Employee Intimidation Act is Incompatible with the interests of workers. individual liberty. and the principles of democracy. Moreover. the card check process has proven not only to be biased and inferior. but also ripe for coercion and abuse. Even more incompatible with democracy and ripe for abuse would be to allow illegal aliens the right to approve workplace representation for all legal workers at a site. I cant imagine that anyone truly believes that illegal aliens should be able to weigh in and determine union recognition. compensation. and benefits for legal American workers. This Nation is at a point where illegal immigration has become such a crisis that it is threatening national security. To get this crisis under control and reaffirm our security. it is not too much to ask that all parties. employers. unions and employees. do their part. Employers are already on the front lines of deterring illegal immigration and verifying employee status. Asking that authorization cards be determined as "valid" and accompanied by documentation is just another step to get the matter under control and ensure only legal workers are deciding on union recognition and workplace rules. It is such a small step. Unions can fulfill the requirements by following the same process that employers follow and use the same universe of documents that employers use. and to do this would not only guarantee that Illegal aliens are not determining the rules for legal American workers. but it would add another check to strengthen national security. I urge passage of this motion to recommit.
