The reason I use the term, "union busting immigrants", is because I want to remind the right wing Reagan supporters of Ronald Reagan's stance on unions and his determination to bust the unions. We must never let the right forget that Reaganomics is what has almost solely destroyed America, especially free trade in the trickle down. I have always supported zero population growth and at the time was very opposed to free trade, I supported fair trade and no population growth and I was right. It's a little late for the religious to be concerned about global warming now and most aren't concerned anyway.
The American Miners Association was formed in 1861
Unions first garnered public attention in 1845 when British emigrant reformers flooded the American workforce and zealously spread the gospel of unionism.[3] Since then, American corporate employers used newsletters to tarnish the reputation of unions and depicted them as “foreign importations.”[4] As a result, union activists and members were unfavorably judged as individuals who were against the spirit of American institutions. However, it was the labor leaders who were oftentimes targeted and publicly denounced as “blatherskites” and “demagogues” who were “too lazy to work and unwilling to allow self-respecting men to work.”
Those British immigrant reformers were most certainly Irish, fleeing the potato famine of 1845, and were mainly used to build Rail Roads, tunnels and the Erie Canal.
During the civil war Lincoln sent recruiters throughout Europe, especially Ireland, Germany and Eastern Europe. One of my great great grandparents were in Rhineland, then part of Prussia and answered the call, but arrived here after the south surrendered. The next immigration wave saw people from Italy, Greece,the Balkans and Ashkenazi from eastern Europe and Poland migrating to the U.S. perhaps it was these who were used as "scabs" to bust unions.
Free trade isn't free. It is controlled by governments, on both sides of the table, and unfettered trade, where government is not involved, enables the producer (corporation or nature) to produce widgets at the lowest possible cost, mainly keeping down variable costs like labor, to extract the greatest profit.
NAFTA and GAAT are prime examples of "free trade", and they have created (Thanks Bill)the rust belt, which is now swing states
Free trade and the unrequalted market is the very essence of Libertarianism and why the Koch Brother found the Libertarian party. Daddy Fred Koch, must have fallen in love with communism while building oil wells for Stalin. Article 12 of the 1936 Soviet Constitution states in essence if you don't work you don't eat, and the Soviet Union had the cheapest of all nations labor.
Karl Marx was a proto libertarian, he was against tariffs, and argued that the south should free the slaves and hire them back at market wages, thus produce cheaper cotton, that would allow his partner Frederick Engels, to make a profit. Engels was buying cheap and inferior Egyptian cotton.
There are those who believe and have done the math, that zero population growth is entropic, however the earths population is doubling about every five or ten years. It took 1,000 years to go from 1 billion to 5 billion and today another billion are added almost every other year.
We breed like rabbits (feels so good),but deadly in overpopulated regions that can't feed their population, or provide a basic standard of living, like India.
The Earth is not a cornucopia, and its natural resources or finite, as is the food supply, soil depleted of nutrients can only be replenished with fertilizer, fertilizer today is made from oil and gas, and there are finite oil reserves. Saudi Arabia is running dry, perhaps that is why they have made a move for rapproachment with Iran. The Sunni Shia conflict is 1400 years old, over a question of who is the rightful successor to Muhammad, the Sunni won the war of the mind, in most of the Islamic world.
That they are willing to set aside this 1400 year old squabble is an event that needs to be examined under a microscope, it bodes ill for the west, especially with Iran a virtual partner with Putin.
Global warming, fecundity, resource depletion it all heralds the end of the anthropogene epoch., estimates of it the chickens coming home to roost range from 2040 to the22nd Century.
I won't be around to see it, but my grandchildren and great grandchildren will. Maybe my children, but by then they will be as old as I am now.

You might be right, but I don't see immigrants used for Union busting
