That is because they want to stay as the #1 minorty.

Always someone else's fault.

Here we go. Let the fighting begin. May the most dependent on the government win!

[Brilliant]

Won't happen because the Dems know that the black voters will vote Democratic no matter how badly the Dem leadership treats them.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Wouldn't they still be? Wouldn't the illegal aliens outnumber African Americans? Isn't there something like 20 million already here, or on the way?

[investigateworld]

So black folks won't be affected by the loss of entry level jobs?

[misterrob]

"Mass illegal immigration has been a major impediment to black advancement in this country over the past 25 years,"

Uh, no it hasn't.

[WOSG]

"Our government has failed us, our elected officials have failed us, and now they are prepared to compound the damage with an amnesty and guest worker program ..."

Wait a second... Only "right-wing extremists" are supposed to be saying that? ... and speaking the truth about the economic impact on black low-wage earners no less.

Have we found the elusive black right wing!?!

Not a lot of people remember this, but the late Democratic Congresswoman from Texas, Barbara Jordan, spoke quite often about how the overwhelming percentage of unskilled workers counted among recent immigrants did a lot of harm to African-Americans, since the obvious effect was to suppress wages.

While I have found several links on her participation in the Bi-Partisan Committee on Immigration Reform (1994) in which this was said, I cannot find anything on a separate report she prepared herself not long before leaving office in which she charged that unregulated immigration was one of the most persistent threats to social progress for African-Americans. Maybe someone else can locate it.

This is anecdotal, but I heard a man who identified himself as black on a call-in show claiming that he couldn't get a construction job because he was told he had to be bi-lingual. True or not, there is no doubt that blacks and illegal aliens are in competition for the same turf.

I am racist against racists.

You people sound igerrant.

MESSAGE TO WASHINGTON POLITICIANS:

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE FURIOUS!

ENFORCE THE LAW!

"Always someone else's fault."

Well, in this case they are RIGHT. The cheap-labor lobby and the immigration lawyers and La Raza dont exactly have the concerns of working-class black Americans on their agenda...

"An illegal alien amnesty would not only reward tens of millions of lawbreakers, but would result in tens of millions, perhaps even a hundred million, new mostly low-wage workers and their families entering this country over the next 20 years," said Morris. "The first to lose from such a program would be African Americans, but, ultimately, all Americans who work for a living would suffer a devastating blow."

[Savage Beast]

"That is because they want to stay as the #1 minorty."

NO. You are wrong. It is because their children will inherit this country, and they do not want it destroyed!

[WOSG]

"This is anecdotal, but I heard a man who identified himself as black on a call-in show claiming that he couldn't get a construction job because he was told he had to be bi-lingual."

That's beyond anecdotal... multiple Freepers have talked about particular industries where working shift supervisors are required to be blinigual, eg, chicken processors, etc.

"True or not, there is no doubt that blacks and illegal aliens are in competition for the same turf."

Quite true. Economics 101.
