It is the best documentary I've seen in a long while.

Joblessness can be traced to competition from foreign workers
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) recently made the trip ... for a chat with a former member of the caucus, President Obama.
Chief among the concerns of black lawmakers is the president's failure to address a black unemployment rate . Sixteen percent of black workers are unemployed, and among black teens, a staggering 44.9 percent are out of work.
There is ample blame to be laid at the White House door, but the 43 members of the CBC who represent largely black constituencies also bear a large share of the responsibility. While some 8 million existing U.S. jobs are estimated to be held by illegal aliens, the CBC, like Mr. Obama, has consistently opposed tough enforcement of laws against employing illegal aliens.
.. the CBC marches in lockstep with the interests that promote illegal immigration. Since taking office last year, Mr. Obama has all but halted immigration enforcement in the workplace - a policy that enjoys the support of the CBC.
The CBC also has been front and center in the effort to enact amnesty for millions of illegal aliens and throw open the doors to still higher levels of future immigration. Rep. Yvette D. Clark, New York Democrat, whip of the CBC, stood shoulder to shoulder with Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez, as he unveiled an illegal alien amnesty bill that would provide nothing for black Americans.
The CBC also should be the vanguard of the effort to reduce overall levels of immigration to the United States. During the 2000s, the growth of our labor force - fueled by the highest levels of legal and illegal immigration in our nation's history - outpaced the growth of jobs in our economy. ....it is black workers who have suffered the most.

That’s funny, Al Sharpton says America elected Obama because he promised healthcare and immigration reform.
How many of these black folks voted for Barry?
“The long term workers at my Walmart are mostly white as well. That’s just the demographics of the area.”
Yes, demographics have something to do with it. But you said white people won’t work....so how can your above statement match your previous statement?
I’m tired of hearing that ‘immigrants’ have to take the jobs because US citizens won’t work. It’s BS.
Your statement:
“She said lots of people want jobs at Walmart. The problem is that they don’t want to work. When they find out that pay checks aren’t passed out just for coming to work, they quit. The city is 93% white. The problem is the current generation isn’t inclined to actually work. Laziness comes wrapped in all colors. “
Yes, Laziness comes wrapped in ALL colors, including ‘hispanic’. Which explains why 50% of ‘immigrants’ are on welfare, etc. etc. and do NOT work.
“

I don’t know. We keep hearing that 95%-97% of blacks voted for Obama. I don’t believe it. I see too many of them who didn’t. I think it’s just more DNC/Media propaganda.
Wonder if this is the Frank Morris that attends my church?
Is there a more detailed bio @ Wash Times?
No, it isn't.
Actually the union bosses LOVE the idea of a flood of non-union low wage workers. They are a whole new pool of union members where as Americans, as a whole, are not interested either forming or joining a union.
SEIU is the fastest growing union in the country. It is 25% Hispanic "immigrants".
The unions that are growing are those with a large number of Hispanics. Those that do not are shrinking in number of members and in power.
