"Benson's attitude is reflected in a recent Pew Hispanic Center poll, which suggests that African-Americans, in general, view immigrants more favorably than do whites, but they also believe more strongly than whites that immigrants take jobs from native-born workers."

A little cognitive dissonance here. If the elected Republicans weren't so cowardly, they'd see the strategic opportunity to cut into the heart of the Democrat voting bloc and go after African-American votes on the immigration issue.

great point!! An illegal - even one here for 5 to 10 years who is a subcontractor on a landscape, building, road work site does not pay state, federal or local taxes - thus this savings alone under cuts his native worker by 20%+.

How can a black man start a business in painting, landscape or road repairs to compete with this illegal? Are not samll businesses the engine of our economy?

In addition, the all cash society, created by the illegal, allows them to export our money to a corrupt country that can't stop it's leaders, police and military from stealing from the underclass.

The Reps are only cowardly because it would affect their money and power train. After all, they have to feed, clothe, etc their families and friends in splendid style.

Senate’s Upside-Logic Cake

...

This immigrant competition has hit black Americans especially hard. A recent New York Times report pointed out, "In 2000, 65 percent of black male high school dropouts in their 20s were jobless — that is, unable to find work, not seeking it or incarcerated. By 2004, the share had grown to 72 percent, compared with 34 percent of white and 19 percent of Hispanic dropouts."

Old civil-rights groups avoid debate on immigration

...

Yet, many blacks soft-target illegal immigrants for the crisis and loudly claim that they take jobs from unskilled and marginally skilled blacks. Black fury over immigration has cemented an odd alliance between black anti-immigrant activists and GOP conservatives, fringe anti-illegal immigration groups and racially tinged America-first groups.

The sad fact is that blacks blindly vote Bolshecrat. Their 15% combined with the 25% looney left leave the Bolshecrats only needing 10% out of the middle to win. The left would be in the dumps if blacks actually used their vote to mean something. It is the left that needs to keep them a perpetual victim in order to secure their vote. It is the Demovik that is trying hardest to make immigration an issue, where, black demographics will mire them deeply into third place, from their current second, in the political lexicon of Bolshecrat politics.

Not only that, but I might even vote GOP again, as I have done all my life.

I am absolutely disgusted with our GOP "leaders".

They don't give a damn about us.

Well Jabba, as my salty old immigrant Grandmama was wont to say:

"My boy, if the world were a sensible place,
it's the men who would ride sidesaddle."
