I don't know about that. I'm in North Carolina.
There's nothing magical about it. It makes total sense that these types of immigrants (i.e. economic or political refugees) end up in neighborhoods where poor and working class black people also live. I don't know if they're getting access to public or subsidized housing, but ... if both groups of people are on the lower end economically, where does the "magic" apply in that?
Pushes? Maybe on the local level, given that a lot of these immigrant families have lived here 20-30-40 years, and maybe ought to have a say in what goes on in their immediate community. But there is no serious effort to give them that right on the federal level.
Prove it. You have shown time and time again this desire to pit black people against every other group, as if they are getting every benefit in the world, while we get zero govt support. This is a demonstrable lie.
Well, for one, Democrats aren't "letting" millions of people in. There is an immigration process that every administration adheres to in more or less the same way, and deportations happen just as frequently under Democrat admins as Republican ones.
I'm not going off of feeling, these are demonstrable facts. I'm sorry I don't have all the time in the world to do your homework, and do the most basic of research to refute this bullshyt. But let's see:
Here's two sources showing the data that migrant arrests have gone way up, and the Biden administration is deporting at a higher rate than Trump did. I'd bet if I kept looking, the same was true for the Obama administration. You are a gullible sucker who has fallen for an obvious lie of "let every immigrant in, and give them all the welfare they want".
And is this your YouTube channel because it's embarrassing. I mean, the first video clips a Fox News (of all sources) clip in which the reporter misrepresents an interaction between some unknown person (maybe border patrol?) and an alleged migrant. She says the migrant claims he wears the shirt so they let him in. But it's clear from the interaction that the migrant doesn't know the names on the shirt. He has to be told it's the names of the President and Vice President, and only after realizing that he JOKINGLY states that he's wearing it so they can let him in. This isn't proof that the policy is to let in Biden supporters. Assuming a guy from Honduras knows the intricacies of Biden and Trump's platform on immigration, and is wearing the shirt as a sign that he knows Biden will let him and everyone else in is dumb and unsubstantiated. That migrant probably doesn't know anything about U.S. civics, or border policy. What's more likely true is this is someone desperate to get in (he's on crutches for godsake), probably given that shirt years ago (very common for America to ship clothing abroad that we don't desire (who wants a Florida State National Champs '23 shirt when they lost?)), and he wore it as a show of solidarity with America since it's red, white, and blue.
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, here is a look at how abortion bans disproportionately impact people of color.

How do you not have this basic knowledge??? Just think about the implications of a world in which every woman and child who gets pregnant has to carry said pregnancy to term. Or consider the world we live in now where there are severe restrictions in one state, so much so that even if remaining pregnant would likely kill them, doctors still won't assist in terminating the pregnancy. Women and children who don't have resources or support to maybe travel could very well die as a result. And obviously, if a certain group is, in general, less advantaged economically than another, then their lives are demonstrably more at risk if medical procedures like this are made more difficult to receive. If a 14 or 15 year old becomes pregnant, a white one is much more likely to have the resources and familial and community support to continue her education, or do anything really except be stuck in poverty. Not saying that's a guarantee, but it's much more likely due to structural factors outside of any of our will. And these are just a couple of examples, it's just a fact that people who tend to be poorer have less wiggle room for poor decisions.
How idiotic could you be? So because white women all receive benefits from affirmative action, that means black people receive zero??? Is that seriously your logic? Again, back to your zero-sum thinking of if any one besides black people benefit from something, then it's not a policy worthy of having. And if you read the article, it cites a labor dept. study which claims that between 1960-1995 5 million minorities were helped due to AA, and 6 million women. Now, this is a very vague break down, because I don't know how many of those "minorities" or "women" are black. Even if we assumed the majority of the "minorities" are black, and all 6 million "women" are white, that's still makes black people 40% of beneficiaries of AA. That's 4 million black people who got a fair opportunity at a job or school that they otherwise would not have had. Why eliminate, or denigrate it as you do here just because another 6 million white women as received the same thing? You would really take that away?
Of course people have a knee-jerk reaction towards race based benefits as opposed to gender, because people still view women as inherently weaker and needing of assistance, where they don't see that along racial lines. That doesn't change the facts of systemic and/or institutional racism, and as long as racial prejudices exist within those at the top (who are overwhelmingly white and male, by the way), you're still going to see discrepancies between the skill black people possess and our outcomes in regards to our success in education and careers.
This misses the point... what, do you agree with Republicans that AA should be done away with? That racial biases and systemic racism should not be corrected for in regards to like housing, employment and college admissions? Because sure, if it helps white women get into UNC, who cares if it also helped some black kids get in too, if it happens at a higher rate for white women, right? Shouldn't you be advocating that more be done to correct for this, rather than get rid of it all together? Or, I mean, of course if you just agree with Republicans, just say that.
