While most civil-rights leaders, including Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, support illegal aliens and amnesty, many African-Americans believe they do so as partisan Democrats and not in the best interests of blacks in America.
A national coalition of American blacks who support enforcement of US immigration laws, commended the decision by the leadership of the House of Representatives to hold field hearings later this summer.
While the White House and the Senate are backing legislation that would grant amnesty to more than 12 million illegal aliens and flood America’s labor market with millions more new foreign workers, opposition to the plan from all sectors of the US population has been growing, according to Black leaders of the coalition.
“It is a refreshing change to business-as-usual in Washington that the House of Representatives is prepared to go around the country and listen to the voices of the American people,” said Frank Morris, chairman of Choose Black America.
“They’ve heard from the high priced lobbyist for cheap labor interests and from millions of illegal aliens who marched in the streets to demand that they be rewarded for having broken the law. Now members of Congress and the media will have a chance to hear directly from the American people about how mass illegal immigration is affecting their lives and what they want done.”
Choose Black America was formed because black citizens of America have been disproportionately harmed by mass illegal immigration and fear seeing their interests further decimated by the amnesty legislation that was approved by the Senate, according to organization officials.
“We look forward to the field hearings that the House is planning to hold and we hope that they will come to black communities around the country so that they can hear the voices of black citizens,” said Morris.
“As members of Congress come to the cities and even the small towns of America, it will be an opportunity for them to see how the failure of our government to enforce immigration laws is affecting people’s jobs, their children’s education and their ability to access health care and other essential services. Unfortunately, as is too often the case, the people who are harmed the most are America’s black citizens.”
The group supports the House’s emphasis on enforcing US immigration laws, and opposes efforts to grant amnesty to illegal aliens and create new guest worker programs.
“Mass illegal immigration is not a victimless crime,” Morris observed. “There are real people who lose their jobs or the chance to earn a better living. There are real children who are stuck in schools that cannot educate because they are overwhelmed by the children of illegal aliens. All too often, those victims are black.”
“We hope and expect that when members of the House get out around the country they actually listen to what the American people have to say. The American people need to carefully consider the Senate amnesty provisions that would grant benefits to people who have broken multiple laws that are not afforded to law abiding citizens,” concluded Morris.

I have long felt that as bad as the senate bill is for all Americans it really shafts blacks. Illegals are depressing wages on low skilled jobs that nmany blacks have.
First paragraph says it all..."nail it them!"
We will still need illegal workers who will be able to be paid unlawfully low wages - if they are to do the "jobs American just won't do."
well this should put the DUmmies in a pickle
But if they were stopped and deported wages would go up. There is no such thing as a job Americans will not do, just jobs Americans will not do for low wages and no benefits.
I do wish we weren't being lied to about the number here. 12 million is way too low, try close to 30 million and you would be a whole lot closer to the truth.
So? We just import more economic slaves who'll be amnestied later.
I do not know if anyone noticed, but jesse jackson approves of the illegal immigrants when it states that in this thread. I thought here was there for the advancement of black people. /sarc
But I guarantee that this info will not get out to the public and once again people will want him to come and help them in their dire need. He needs to be exposed as the racist scum that he is. He is not for the advancement of his own people. He is there for his political and financial gain only and nothing else.
Wait, I know this, you all know this, why am I wasting my breath?
And, sadly that will be what happens.
I'm in full agreement BUMP!!
Correct
"While most civil-rights leaders, including Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, support illegal aliens and amnesty, "
I may be cynical but the reason they do is that they lose their power if the masses of black folk rise up. Illegals help to depress wages and that helps to keep people down and keep Jesse up.
Bush needs to look to see who his bedfellows are on this issue. He's in league with the Kennedy's and the Jacksons of this world. That ought to tell him something about his stance.
Amen on the "jobs Americans won't do" B$. It reminds me of the WH saying no one else wanted the SCOTUS nomination except Meirs. Complete horse shite'!
Ooooh! I love it when people (of any skin color) smarten up and throw off the chains. You can hear those Demon-rat manacles clanking to the floor empty!
rps1:
"other than fighting terrorism, what good has Bush done?"
"George Bush is out of touch with most Americans...."
Speak for yourself.
