"Theres no such thing as a free lunch."
In the nineteenth century American bar owners offered free lunches as a way to attract noontime patrons. Inevitably, the diners would get thirsty, and buy expensive drinksthey paid for their lunch one way or another. Thus the above expression. Prosaic though its origins may be, the phrase captures a deep and omnipresent truth: everything has a price, an opportunity cost, a trade-off. This is true of lunches, and its true of Americas immigration policy.
Despite what The Economist claims, immigration does not benefit everyonethere are winners and losers. In Americas case, the winners are the immigrants themselves and wealthy Americans; the losers are the working class, millennials, and black Americans.
Mass immigration, both legal and illegal, disproportionately hurts black Americans because they are far more likely than white Americans to compete with immigrants for work. The evidence for this is overwhelming.

Perhaps in the next decade black America will realize that voting Democrat hasn't worked, and won't ever work. This would be a the death-blow to the Dems. Can't come soon enough.
How bout we come up with a white paper for black people to convince them to vote less dem and more rep?

A “white paper” sounds racist. I doubt it will get too far....
Maybe instead of a wall, Trump should enlist the “Black Lives Matter” crowd to line up across the southern border and stop those who try to sneak in and take those jobs.
Ah, never mind, the “BLM” crowd doesn’t want those jobs anyway.
BLM has their lips puckered up against the DNC’s ass, they’ll never do it.
That pun was intended. :-)
Republicans will never be seen as more in favor of affirmative action and government benefits as Democrats. Won’t happen.
A good idea. I will aggregate some links that I have in the back of my mind.
