WASHINGTON, April 23, 2013 --/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Wednesday morning, April 24 at 9am, the African American Leadership Council will host a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, to oppose the Senate Gang of Eight's 844-page plus, immigration bill. During the conference, the Council will call on the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), to protect black labor by opposing amnesty and halting efforts to double legal immigration levels, as required under the bill.
Many black leaders have recognized the harm caused by large increases in immigration as the Senate bill entails. As the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights recently reported, illegal immigration to the United States in recent decades has "depress[ed] both wages and employment rates for low-skilled American citizens, a disproportionate number of whom are black men."
"The Senate Gang of Eight's immigration bill is not only impractical, but immoral," said Frank Morris, Council leader, and former Executive Director of the Congressional Black CaucusFoundation. "Increasing immigration levels through amnesty and new visa programs, particularly at the low-skilled level, will flood the labor market with millions more people, leading to higher unemployment, more poverty, and a lower standard of living for many in the black community." Blacks have an unemployment rate nearly twice that of the national average. The Senate's immigration plan to drastically increase the immigrant work force will continue to keep that number high.

One would think they they would intrinsically understand that unrestrained immigration hurts black most by depressing wages for the entry level positions that the black community needs if they are not going to apply themselves in school.
Schuster also wants to turn our freeways into TOLL ROADS, so I don’t blindly follow him.

Its about time.
Link does not work
Meanwhile, The Caucasian Leadership Council has yet to comment on today's developments . . .
I’ve wondered when the black reps in Congress would finally begin to look after their constituents interests’ on this issue. But I’m not counting any chickens before they hatch.
True dat
I never guessed that I would agree with the CBC on anything, but here we are.
I hope Hannity does another townhall with black conservative leaders and this topic to be included.
About time?
This has been happening for at least 6 years

Looks like they are finally waking up to the fact that Obama and the Demoncrat party has kicked them to the curb in favor of the next new thing, a very prolific Hispanic segment that wants to replace the Blacks at the government trough! If they had stopped to listen to what the leadership of the left has been saying they would have figured this out years ago!
