Black American Leadership Alliance Marches on U.S. Capitol to Protect American Jobs (stop amnesty)

WASHINGTON, June 11, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Monday, July 15th the Black American Leadership Alliance (BALA) will host a march and rally on the National Mall called the DC March for Jobs. The purpose of the march is to oppose all forms of amnesty, to protect American jobs for American workers. The BALA and participants will march to the steps of the Capitol to petition Congress, the Gang of Eight and the Congressional Black Caucus, demanding that they protect black labor by opposing amnesty and halting efforts to double legal immigration levels, as required under the bill.

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights recently reported that illegal immigration has kept wages and employment down over recent decades, particularly among black men. With unemployment for blacks at nearly double the national rate (13.7%), the number of African Americans living in poverty and without jobs is sure to soar should the bill be passed.

"Now is not the time for Congress to increase competition for scarce jobs by adding millions more workers through legalization," said Frank Morris, Alliance leader, and former Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. "Increasing immigration levels through amnesty and new visa programs, particularly at the low skilled level, will flood the labor market with millions more people, leading to higher unemployment, more poverty, and a lower standard of living for many in the black community." ......

Members of the Coalition include:

Frank Morris, Former Executive Director, Congressional Black Caucus Foundation; Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson, President and Founder of BOND (The Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny); Bishop Felton Smith, Prelate of the Tennessee Eastern First Jurisdiction and Senior Pastor of New Covenant Fellowship Church of God in Christ in Nashville, TN; Charles Butler, Veteran Chicago area Talk Show Host of The Take with Charles Butler; Leah V. Durant, Former US DOJ Immigration Attorney and Executive Director, Progressives for Immigration Reform; T. W. Fair, President and CEO, Urban League of Greater Miami; Vernon Robinson, Former Council Member, Winston-Salem, NC and former candidate for US Congressional Office; Kevin Jackson, Radio Host and Executive Director, The Black Sphere; Leo Alexander, Broadcaster, Writer and Political Commentator, Washington, DC; Kevin Martin, Author, Writer and Political Commentator; Tom Broadwater, National Chair, Americans4Work.

Ike was the last person to do anything about that problem but the progressives say the 50’s was a bad time for America.

It's kind of surprising we haven't heard more from groups like this about the chilling effect of illegal immigration/amnesty on the job market. Is it any wonder the job outlook for young black men is so dismal?

Good for them. I hope some conservatives are out there marching right along side them.

“They can thank the messiah and his RAT cohorts.”

For the most part, these are not the people who would claim Obama as messiah. They deserve our support, not our condemnation.

One thing that most liberals don't seem to understand: the animosity between leaches who are black and leaches who are Hispanic is extremely high. This ought to be interesting.

A whole deck of race cards.

Perhaps, but I suspect they'd vote for him again regardless.

I am one of the people helping to organize the March. The objective of the March is to stop the Rubio-Schumer amnesty. The so-called black establishment leadership has sold out blacks and all American workers by supporting this bill. The Black Caucus is a prime example.

This is an opportunity for all of us to show our objections to and anger at this amnesty bill. Anyone living in the DC metro area is especially invited to attend. We will have buses coming from NY, NC, Georgia, all of VA, MD, etc. This is no laughing matter. Both parties have abandoned the American worker. American jobs for American workers.

Given that 95% of black Americans voted for Obama (twice) this group is either a highly self-selected statistical anomaly, or they did indeed view Obama as their Messiah - and not very long ago, either.

Here’s a suggestion. Carry signs that say “AMERICAN-AFRICAN”. AMERICA COMES FIRST.
