White American workers are "so f---ing rabidly racist" their sentiments can be used to scare blacks into supporting comprehensive immigration reform for illegal Latinos, argued SEIU Executive Vice President Gerry Hudson.
"On white workers, I think we got some real problems. I've spent a lot of time in Wisconsin and places like that, where I have heard some of the most anti-immigrant sentiments around," said Hudson, speaking April 6 at a Washington, D.C., conference sponsored by Dissent magazine, which is closely linked with the Democrat Socialists of America group.
"It's also, and this is where you get the black workers first, it's so f---ing rabidly racist, 'til black people get scared. They (white workers) don't just mean you, right? So, you can organize them quicker, like, look at what's there."
The conference, titled "Labor, the Left, and Progressives in the Obama Era," was broadcast on C-SPAN, which caught Hudson's obscenity-laced remarks.
The Service Employees International Union, or SEIU, has long worked with the recently bankrupted Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. SEIU President Andy Stern, who announced his resignation last week, is the most frequent visitor to the White House, according to documents released by the Obama administration.
At last week's conference, Hudson discussed widespread black opposition to Latino immigration reform, commenting, "What's interesting to me, it doesn't take a whole lot to argue these African Americans to another place."
Amnesty to ensure 'progressive' rule
The SEIU is a top supporter of a bill by Illinois Rep. Luis Gutierrez that seeks to document up to 12 million illegal immigrants inside the U.S.
WND previously reported SEIU International Executive Vice-President Eliseo Medina, a recent adviser to President Obama, declared granting citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants would expand the "progressive" electorate and help ensure a "progressive" governing coalition for the long term.
"We reform the immigration laws, it puts 12 million people on the path to citizenship and eventually voters," stated Medina, speaking at a June 2009 Washington conference for America's Future Now!
Medina said that during the presidential election in November 2008, Latinos and immigrants "voted overwhelmingly for progressive candidates. Barack Obama got two out of every three voters that showed up."
"Can you imagine if we have, even the same ratio, two out of three? Can you imagine 8 million new voters who care about our issues and will be voting?" Medina asked. "We will be creating a governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle."
During the most recent presidential campaign, Medina and Gutierrez served on Obama's National Latino Advisory Council. Also on the council was Rep. Nydia Velazquez, D-N.Y., the co-sponsor of Gutierrez's immigration reform bill. Medina was a chief lobbyist credited with a change in the longstanding policy of the AFL-CIO, the largest union federation in the U.S. The union reversed its stance against illegal immigration in February 2000, instead calling for new amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.
The New Zeal blog documented how Medina was honored in 2004 by Chicago's Democratic Socialists of America for his "vital role in the AFL-CIO's reassessment of its immigration policy." That same year, Medina became a DSA honorary chairman.
The DSA also supported Gutierrez's 1998 bid for Congress. In the mid-1990s, Gutierrez served on the board of Illinois Public Action alongside a number of DSA members, including Obama health-care adviser Quentin Young.
