President Donald Trump’s enforcement of immigration laws has delivered hundreds of jobs at higher wages to sidelined African Americans in Chicago after a Swiss-owned bakery was penalized for employing roughly 800 illegals. The good news was admitted in a Chicago Sun-Times article:

Ed French, owner of Elgin-based Metro Staff Inc., says his company became the main provider of [replacement] workers for the bakery and that about 80 percent of them are black. According to French … wages [are] up by about 25 cents an hour, to just above minimum wage.

He says everyone hired through his company is permitted to work in the country and has passed a background check and drug test.

According to a former consultant to the bakery, MSI paid the black workers $14 an hour, versus the $10 an hour the Mexican workers were making through Labor Network.

Newly hired Latino-Americans are also getting the higher wage.

The wage-cutting illegals — mostly Mexicans — were employed at the Cloverhill bakery in Northwest Chicago and the company’s other bakeries in Cicero and Romeoville. When the illegals were fired, the company’s output fell and it lost customers. The Swiss owner, Aryzta, has since sold the Cloverhill bakery to Hostess Brands.

Obama never intended to do anything for Black Americans but allow them to blame someone else for their situation and life.

That is, to make them ungrateful and thus unhappy. He succeeded, and thus made everyone else unhappy and thus ungrateful.

Bernie Sanders wants to make everyone (whether they bey teenagers or whether they be otherwise very poorly qualified) ungrateful for a low wage job. If anyone can expect $15/hour, unconditionally as a right, who will actually work for $15/hour??? Who will even show up for that???

My father was a diligent worker who held a job (and for a while two full-time factory jobs all his adult life. He didn’t have a college degree, but he did have some college education, and both his parents were teachers (and thus spoke good english effortlessly, and raised their children to do likewise. Both his sons earned engineering degrees; it was expected). The point? In 1950 he made about $5,000 dollars a year. $100 a week. $100 divided by 40 hours = $2.50/hr. No one would have hired him for $15/hour; if they had he would have taken it in a heartbeat.

The point is, of course, that $2.50/hr in 1950 translates, in 2018, to roughly $25/hr, and probably more. There has been that much inflation during my lifetime - a great deal of it during the Carter Administration. And Bernie Sanders - and universal $15/hr no-show “jobs” for North Americans and South Americans - would repeat that performance.
