The real question is what is the impact of legalizing 11 million people and then also to continue bringing millions more
whatever podcast you are listening to is not asking the proper question about immigration and what impact it has on black people
But when it comes to whether DACA recipients are taking jobs away from other Americans en masse, one top economist says there aren't facts to back that up.
"There is no evidence of that," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, about Sessions' statement. "Repealing DACA is particularly wrongheaded as economic policy."
DACA beneficiaries also tend to be employed in higher-skilled jobs than workers who are in the country illegally.
"While the latter were heavily represented in jobs that involve manual work — such as construction and extraction, and building and grounds cleaning and maintenance — DACA-eligible workers were most commonly found in white-collar occupations that are usually done indoors in formal business settings," the Migration Policy Institute wrote in an August report.
I'm not saying that black people don't get passed over for jobs that they are otherwise qualified for (they definitely do, I know from personal experience), but please show me the direct impact of DACA recipients on black employment levels. Show me where qualified black people are being passed over en masse by DACA recipients specifically.
