Original Title:Alarmed By Planned Immigration 'Surge', Civil Rights Advocate Tells Obama Amnesty Harms Blacks Workers
A top civil rights advocate is warning President Obama that extending executive amnesty to millions of illegal aliens will deeply harm black workers. Peter Kirsanow, as U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner, says in a Oct. 27 letter to Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' recently revealed preparations for a huge ID "surge" extended his alarm over what the president has planned.
“Granting work authorization to millions of illegal immigrants will devastate the black community, which is already struggling in the wake of the recession that began in 2007 and the subsequent years of malaise,” he explained.
"Illegal immigration has a disparate impact on African-American men because these men are disproportionately represented in the low-skilled labor force," Kirsanow added. Noting that he writing as a single member of U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and not on behalf of the body, Kirsanow argued in a lengthy letter to Obama and Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH), the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, that expected executive actions would have negative effects on low skilled workers, particularly African Americans, and higher skilled tech workers. “My concerns center around the effect such grant of legal status will have on two subsets of American workers: low-skilled workers, particularly low-skilled black workers, and high- skilled STEM workers.” Kirsanow has raised concerns about the deleterious effects of amnesty and increases in low skilled immigration will have on African Americans in the past but wrote that the the recent revelation that the government is seeking supplies for up to 34 million green cards and work permits has “renewed” those concerns.

Yep, Obama hates all Americans equally.
I’m guessing he has more respect for conservatives than he has for his useful idiots.
The hell you say.
Forget the free cell phones. Time to break out the free big screens.
Illegal alien surge. I love it.
Black people are on the edge of a cliff and this guy is just figuring out they’re being used by the Democrats. Amazing. Black voters were always the Dems ace in the hole but now that a bigger voting bloc is available in illegal aliens they’re about to be tossed to the curb.
Civil rights, eh? So so mexicans not have civil rights then?
he’s just catching on to this?
I’m surprised this guy could ever explore a truism that lies outside his democrat ‘plantation’ groupthink.
See #9, above. Sheesh. Talk about groupthink.
Sometimes I wonder if this threatened amnesty is a pre-election lie intended to pull one over on the hispanic lobby & chamber of commerce, and Obama really has no intention of taking such a political risk.
When your entire philosophy is based on agendas instead of principles this basic clash is endemic — remember how the feminazis abandoned Lewinsky’s obvious sexual harassment.
To our detriment, conservatives argue values and sometimes principles.
But the left will get another pass from the water carrying MSM
How can this be stopped?
if more poor Latinos flood our shores, as they surely will, two things can happen to blacks and poor whites: they can either wake up and smell the roses and study hard in school or learn a trade and work hard, OR they can further slither down the slope to absolute poverty of mind and body...
It can’t be stopped. That is the point. Blacks won’t leave the plantation. They have been so brainwashed it won’t happen. Obola the Klown will get his 34 million new voters. There ain’t no going back. Best we can hope for is to win once the violence starts.
I was wondering when they’d catch on.
RACISM!
The invders coming thru our southern border are often hard workers, but generally not equipped to take “afirmative action jobs” many blacks hold. They will displace blacks and others from low skill jobs.
He is hardly a fool.
You have totally misunderstood who this person is and what is goals are.
What makes this fool think that Obola gives a flying fig about black workers?
