Occupy Portland uses this photo from the 2006 May Day march in Portland as a moment in time when brothers and sisters came together in solidarity! Glory Days! Woot!

Here’s the back story on this photo: many of those protesters were paid. See allllllll the purple shirts in the crowd? They’re SEIU members. Illegal aliens from all over the Pacific Northwest came to Portland to participate in this staged event. This was at the time that so called “comprehensive immigration reform” (read: amnesty) was under discussion.

Union members told me they were paid to participate in the event. And knowing SEIU’s MO, I have no trouble believing it.
