Immigration is also a key to getting some of the black vote.
He needs to go into both Union and Black communities and talk about the damage that illegal immigration is doing to their income and welfare.
He doesn’t need money to win...he can make press by going into these hostile areas and courting them. Screw the money from business people who want cheap labor.
I've posted this before, from my college years working summer construction:
In the late 70's a construction laborer was paid $6 to $8 per hour ($8 was union scale on DC Metrorail, $6 at your everyday new housing site).
Most of the guys working construction had families, and even a few laborers I worked with. Wives, kids, mortgage (obviously the wife was helping).
I have run the numbers, and by any of several common economic measures (CPI, Average Wage Rate, Inflation Rate) today's construction laborer would be paid $24.00 to $29.00 per hour.
I have been told anecdotally and more than once that today's illegal alien unskilled laborer - on the construction site or elsewhere - is paid $12.00 to $16.00 per hour (regardless of taxes or not).
Which means that illegal aliens have reduced the wages for unskilled labor by 40 to 60 percent in the last 30 years.
