“I believe that virtually all of those who mouth the lie “Doing the work Americans won’t do” really mean that the illegals are “doing work the Black people won’t do”.”
??? Are you taking the racist attitude that black people will do the work for wages that others will refuse ?
That the next rung up on the “will-work-cheap” scale from illegals is the black ?
Talk about stereotyping ... just who is the racist here ?
I am not racist. Those who say “Illegals do the work Americans will not do” are for the most part racists.
This thread starts with an article from northjersey.com.
I can tell you for a fact that the demographic in North Jersey with the highest level of unemployment is African-American males age 16-25. Has been so for over two decades here. In areas where the African-American community is functioning, and are bringing up good kids, but are living within working class communities, it has become nearly impossible for African-American young males in this state to find summer jobs because every position is filled with legal and illegal immigrants. The NJ State Dept of Labor, NJ Workforce investment Board, and NJ dept of education have been pushing home this point with no success for years, none of the NJ Democrats limousine liberal financial supporters want to hear it. (And the Republicans above county level are worse)
NJ a a whole will have the lowest percentage of high school students in the summer workforce since employment statistics were started. This disproportionately affects the poorest households in the state.
