“Don’t know about your areas, but around here blacks are showing up in jobs formerly held exclusively by illegals “
Blacks were well represented in trades jobs with good wages and benefits (=$23+/hr) - carpenters, painters, bricklayers - before the illegals pushed them out of their jobs with greedy exploiting contractors.
The pure capitalists who support cheap imported labor working under the table in near-indentured status don’t really care about the real free market. They work around it by changing the rules in their favor.
A true free market is occurring now in Alberta, Canada. Without the competition of illegal labor, the oil field prosperity has McDonalds offering flippers and counter folk $15/hr. And yet these businesses are still making tidy profits and the province is running a big budget surplus and financing the rest of Canada.
A rising tide will lift all boats until you start stuffing too many people in the boat then it starts sinking.

Being a honky, I wonder why the black leadership has abandoned their own people in America.......not a peep out of Sharpton or Jackson!
