There is a word for people who are more concerned with Americans being able to get a decent living than with foreigners being able to get a decent living. That word is "patriot."

Strawman.

Allowing the country to be flooded by illegals drives down the price of labor and hurts working-class Americans. It's had a particularly disastrous impact in the black community.

The willingness of blacks to take certain jobs is way down on the list of disasters that are self-imposed on the black community.

Hardly. It's elemental. Most of our political elites don't give a rat's a** about America or ordinary Americans. They are interested in lining their pockets when in office and cashing in after leaving. The clear and indisputable economic fact that mass immigration hurts working class Americans doesn't impress them any more than do the polls showing that the overwhelming majority of Americans want immigration reduced, because they frankly aren't interested in what oridinary Americans want or think. They are only interested in what the special interests who pay their way want.
