Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) told Breitbart News that black workers across America should be wary of supporting Democrats because of President Obama and other Democrats’ support for immigration policies that displace them economically.
"A nation owes its first obligation to its own citizens,” Sessions said in an emailed statement. “But our current immigration policy advantages the citizens of other countries over our own. Undeniably, one of the groups most hurt economically by unjust immigration policies are African-American citizens.”
Sessions points to a study that Harvard economist Dr. George Borjas published with the National Bureau of Economic Research in September 2006 that found that the employment rate of black men fell from 1960 to 2000—a timeframe during which immigration sharply increased, making it much more difficult for Americans, especially blacks, to find jobs.
Said Sessions:
Research by Dr. George Borjas shows that the long-term large-scale importation of foreign labor has substantially eroded wages in the black community—and yet Senate Democrats voted unanimously for legislation to double the arrival of new workers and deepen this unacceptable wage decline. These new workers would fill jobs in every sector of the economy, denying many low-income Americans a shot at middle class job security.
According to an abstract of the paper, Borjas and two other scholars found that “[a]s immigrants disproportionately increased the supply of workers in a particular skill group, the wage of black workers in that group fell, the employment rate declined, and the incarceration rate rose." It went on to say that the "analysis suggests that a 10-percent immigrant-induced increase in the supply of a particular skill group reduced the black wage by 4.0 percent, lowered the employment rate of black men by 3.5 percentage points, and increased incarceration rate of blacks by almost a percentage point.”

Does not matter, majority of blacks suffer from Stockholm Syndrome, their captor/owners being the Democrat Party, their plantation overseers being the likes Jackson, Sharpton and members of the Black Congressional Caucus.
This should be the first GOP “tallking point”, whenever a microphone is pushed under a Republican’s face.
“Ferguson? Those fellow-citizens need jobs.”
You know, America would have more jobs and they would pay better if we didn’t have OPEN BORDERS, thanks to millionnaire Democrats like Harry Reid!”
LBJ was correct.
I guess as long as Santa Fed keeps providing welfare checks and access to cheap drugs everything is A-OK.

I'll never understand why it is not.
What is happening is an absolute free-for-all and a mad scramble for people to come here illegally (while they CAN) and as soon as possible, because there IS NO policy.
It is all very sloppy and ambiguous... JUST what Liberals and especially what “O” intends.
The idea that there is a ‘policy’ per se, is laughable.
This President wouldn't know policy or policy-making if it fell on him from the 10th story!
I would be amazed if less than 90% of blacks voted for the Obamanation (aka President Obola)if he were on the ballot in 2014.
Trouble is, how many of those "demonstrators" have job skills or want to work?
That is 100% correct. I have been waiting for anyone in the GOP to make that exact point. Even if it falls on deaf ears, it has to have the effect on some who care to listen. In fact, Obozo’s open borders ideas are ANTI US worker, period.
I’d sure like to see Jeff become Majority Leader
An American worker will keep and spend money in the United States. A Mexican, Salvadorean, or Guatemalan will send about half of their money back to their homelands and that only benefits them not us. We’re building up their economies while we continue to wreck ours. How nice of us.
How about his immigration policies could kill millions of everyday Americans. Ebola has broke out. We are all at risk. Why are we focusing on the black community?
How about the rest of us?
It also works for the benefits they accrue once they get “worker status”. We will have half of south america on hour dole by 2025.
Because the Leftist media has falsely tried to picture the Obama Presidency as some sort of victory--rather than the clear betrayal that it obviously is--for the "black community." This is the essential point that refutes a deliberately created misconception, which was so strong it sent tingles up the legs of fatuous apologetic White TV journalists. (Yes, I am referring to the MSNBC idiot.)

You’re correct. It wouldn’t matter if they had video of Obama throwing black babies into the ocean, he’d still get 90+% of the black vote in the 2016 election.
well, can go to planned parenthood in NYC and video black babies being thrown into the garbage. Does that count?
Au contraire, mon ami.
The policy of this administration to fill the country with a new beholden underclass of citizens who reliably vote Democrat.
Black Americans are Americans too and Obama has screwed them over.
