African-Americans dislike Hispanics on a personal level. At least that’s been my experience. Mutual hate between those groups.
Low skilled labor is being replaced by illegal laborers. No workers comp, minimum wage, social security payments, and work for cash off the books. Companies do this directly or by hiring subs who hire the illegals.
This is why black unemployment is at a record high, especially in large cities. They’re being replaced by Hispanics.
No idea why Republicans won’t drive a wedge between these two groups. Oh, that’s because the Chamber of Commerce and Cheap Labor Express politicians WANT the cheap illegal labor.
That's a big reason why conservatives voted for Trump. We have seen Republicans fail us on immigration too many times. He has shown that he can defy the Dem-GOP conspiracy. Let's hope he stays true to his promises.
Back around 2011, I was reading a personal account of a guy who figured out his cousin’s meatpacking business growth. The cousin had gotten some big grocery contract around the 2005-era for a grocery in the Ohio Valley area. Lots of profit built into the contract. The cousin had figured out a method to increase the profit....bring in mostly all Mexican to do the physical work. Other than three or four supervisors...the rest was underground labor (no insurance, no social security, nothing but $7 an hour on labor). The guy had trailers put up on some remote property....trucked the workers in...paid cash, and ensured no contact with the general public.
I think all across the south and rust-belt....you can find hundreds of operations like this. Small operations with dozens or hundreds of illegal employees. Cops are in on the deal...as are Republicans and Democrats. No one wants to disturb this venture of capitalism.
You are correct....at the heart of this matter...blacks are the ones screwed mostly out of employment. No one will pick their cause or point at how corrupted politics has become.
That's irrelevant. The point, and the article reinforces this point, is that unlimited immigration (legal or illegal) of low-skilled workers moves them into the low-cost majority black neighborhoods and robs opportunities from historically oppressed A-A's who were here first, and whose ancestors had no choice in the matter of whether to be here. That is the historic point during which Coretta Scott King was writing; and despite some gains, there remains a black underclass in our nation today whose chances of economic recovery have been drastically eroded by globalization, offshoring and the flood of non-citizens competing for low-skill work.
