Can someone explain how liberal/more open immigration policy helps black folks?

A reasonable, more liberal policy would invalidate this study because these people would no longer be "illegal" meaning they will no longer be depressing wages and taking jobs from low skilled Americans.

Even your own article admits that, education, health, housing, are what's really needed for black folks, which has absolutely nothing to do with immigration.

If cuts to social programs like student loans are what's placing black people in competition with immigrants, wouldn't it make the most sense to fight for those types of programs as opposed to fighting immigrants for scraps?
Interesting. I agree with you long term but latino immigrants are increasing the competition for blacks in the job markets now aren't?

If there are a finite amount of jobs available I want as many as possible to go to poor blacks.

All this economic shyt is whatever, shyt is smoke and mirrors anyway. A large amount of jobs will soon be automated so they're going to have to find another excuse.

I'm fine for enforcing immigration laws as they are, but if white supremacists feel threatened by more "diversity" then I support it. I'm not going to even half way latch on to that philosophy for some "jobs" that won't even fukking exist in 5-10 years. Black folk have survived chattel slavery...we'll survive the economy and the so called immigration crisis too.

In the meantime we could completely ignore the inconsequential and start educating ourselves, being more mental health conscious and you know, start addressing shyt that matters for real on the daily.

Why are more and more threads in HL taking the narrative of, well it doesn't matter if it doesn't help black people? Or I only care about how this issue related positively or negatively to black people. :francis:
Why should I give a fukk about Mohammad the cab driver that passes up every black man in need of a ride getting deported?

Or a self-hating Somali fakkit that's on some Bernie Mack in don't be a menace shyt getting deported?

Mohammad who passed me up doesn't give a fukk what my religion or nationality is, he just sees a black man...All we have is our own bruh, thats reality and our community finally accepting that reality is a good thing...

I'm feeling you on a lot of what you're saying .

However, even if you hold the position that these lowly jobs are going to automated at some point. People still need jobs now. Also if these jobs go away there will still be more competition for the new jobs wouldn't there?

As for the white supremacy angle, I feel you. But my question would be:
Does an increase in the numbers of non- blacks coming in help the lives of black Americans? If so, how?

Yeah I'm still failing to see that guy's angle.

Should we not primarily be thinking how policies of any type affect AFAmericans?

There's more than enough resources for everybody to live comfortably in America. The goal needs to be to shift the gains from the top 10% to the rest of us. More immigrantion would help in that goal. That's why those in power want to curb it.

You did nothing but stereotype, hate, and generileze here.

The same thing you claim is so wrong that when they do it to you.

I agree the that's what the goal SHOULD be, but it's not the goal so here we are

Yes to an extent, but "black" is just a skin color. We don't live here alone. What happens to society happens to us. The morals this country puts forth is representative of us. There's not much that happens here that can be addressed only through the lens of one race. We are all intertwined.

Because that's my point...

Everybody does that shyt to us, especially Mexicans and arabs so why should we act any differently when it comes to them?

Why should I give a fukk about their problems when they could give a fukk less about mine because to them I'm just a ******?
