If protecting union jobs is the only point, anti-immigrant & 
pro-protectionist nativism is patently pointless.  New immigrant 
workers are more pro-union than native-born workers -- hence the 
AFL-CIO's new stance.  To survive, organized labor has to sign up as 
many as it can, native or immigrant, legal or illegal.  Many foreign 
nations have higher rates of unionization than the USA also.  Since 
most trade & investment flow within the circle of rich nations, one 
might say that it is the USA that is bringing down labor standards of 
Japan & Western Europe by its cheap un-organized labor.

The best way to protect union jobs is to sign up & make all union members.

That's exactly what they are doing.  And you are going to see
those new union members shoulder to shoulder with the old,
calling for the protection of their jobs and wages against
cheap foreign labor.
