So we're pretending I didnt post 6 links earlier in the thread... ok, fair enough
A U.S. Civil Rights Commission report from 2010 found that immigration in general harmed the black community more than others. Its important to note the report did not differentiate between illegal and legal immigration.
National Labor Relations Board: “What happens is you eliminate the rungs on the ladder because a sizable number of black men don’t have access to entry-level jobs,” Kirsanow said. “It is not just the competition and the unemployment of blacks. It also depresses the wage levels.”
“About six in 10 adult black males have a high school diploma or less, and black men are disproportionately employed in the low-skilled labor market, where they are more likely to be in labor competition with immigrants,” the commission report says.
The report continues:
Illegal immigration to the United States in recent decades has tended to depress both wages and employment rates for low-skilled American citizens, a disproportionate number of whom are black men. Expert economic opinions concerning the negative effects range from modest to significant. Those panelists that found modest effects overall nonetheless found significant effects in industry sectors such as meatpacking and construction.
Despite the popular myth that undocumented immigrants only take jobs Americans don’t want, they really are displacing African Americans from employment opportunities
“In 2008, the United States Commission on Civil Rights found black men to be disproportionately employed in low-skilled labor jobs and in direct competition with undocumented immigrants.”
Sure you can argue we shouldnt be at the bottom competing for shyt jobs are fighting to keep those, but the reality is we are at the bottom and we need those entry level jobs. Are you with us or against us?
The fact that they speak spanish alone, has them leaping ahead of blacks here in California, a state that is already pricing blacks out of the market.
fukk em.

Republicans crank up pressure on Trump to not scrap DACA
The president said he'll announce his decision on the fate of the program for young undocumented immigrants as early as Friday afternoon.

President Donald Trump is under mounting pressure from members of his own party not to end an Obama-era program that grants quasi-legal status hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who arrived in the country as children – a group often referred to as Dreamers.
As an unofficial Tuesday deadline approaches, Trump and his staff have received a series of calls from GOP officials warning that any effort to undo the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) could be politically damaging. And there’s an effort to encourage Republican lawmakers to publicly raise concerns about how killing the program could affect the nearly 800,000 young people registered under the program, according to sources familiar with the internal debate.

Trump told reporters on Friday that a decision on the status of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program would come soon.
“Sometime today or over the weekend, we’ll have a decision,” Trump said. “We’ll issue it sometime over the weekend. Maybe this afternoon.”
Asked whether Dreamers should be worried, Trump said, “We love the Dreamers. We love everybody.”
Despite campaigning on hardline immigration stances, Trump pledged earlier this year to “deal with DACA with heart.” At the time, the president stressed that the program is “very, very difficult,” but said that, as a father and grandfather, he loves children.
The DACA program, which was put in place by former President Barack Obama in 2012, allows undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as minors to apply for two-year work permits and shields them from deportation.
While Trump vowed to kill the program during the presidential campaign, he has publicly wavered in recent months, expressing sympathy for those who could be uprooted if DACA is eliminated.
“The DACA situation is a very difficult thing for me, as I love these kids, I love kids,” Trump said in February. “I have kids and grandkids, and I find it very, very hard doing what the law says exactly to do and, you know, the law is rough.”
Top White House aides have been debating the future of DACA behind the scenes for months, and the fight reached a fever pitch this week. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and policy aide Stephen Miller are the most vocal advocates of killing the program, and they’ve both made the case that it will be difficult to defend in court. That legal argument has resonated with the Trump, sources familiar with the debate said, with the president positing it’s better to phase out the program now than to keep it and lose in court.
But multiple people told POLITICO early Friday that Trump had not yet made a final decision, even though he is leaning toward phasing out the program and allowing existing Dreamers to finish out their existing work permits.
Though Trump is largely convinced that he should end the program, he continues to raise concerns privately about the possible political blowback, according to a person familiar with the discussion. But he also sees the decision as a way to show his conservative critics that he isn’t beholden to the so-called “New York Democrats in the White House, the person said.
Texas and nine other states have threatened to sue the Trump administration over DACA if the president doesn’t rescind the measure by Tuesday. While many in the Trump administration see Tuesday as an unofficial deadline to act, president could opt to further delay a decision.
Powerful lawmakers on Friday publicly called on Trump to maintain the program
Story Continued Below
“I don’t think he should do that. I believe that this is something Congress has to fix,” House Speaker Paul Ryan said on Janesville, Wisconsin’s WCLO radio station.
Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, the most senior Republican in the Senate who helped introduce the original DREAM Act in 2001, called Trump to urge the president not to rescind DACA, following numerous leaks to the press that Trump was preparing to do so, a Hatch aide said.
“Congress needs to take immediate action to protect #DACA kids,” Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake tweeted.
Other lawmakers are also applying pressure on Trump. Colorado Rep. Mike Coffman, a Republican, said Thursday he’ll try to force a vote on a bill that would extend protections for the Dreamers. Under the DREAM Act, young undocumented immigrants would have a path to citizenship if they attend college or serve in the military for at least two years.
Ryan said Friday that Obama did not have the legislative authority to adopt the policy. “You can’t as an executive write law out of thin air, and so that’s very, very clear and we’ve made that very clear,” Ryan said.
“Having said all that, there are people who are in limbo. These are kids who know no other country, who were brought here by their parents and don’t know another home,” the speaker said. “And so, I really do believe there needs to be a legislative solution, that’s one that we’re working on.”
Ryan added that Congress wants to give people “peace of mind” on the issue.
“I’ve had plenty of conversations with the White House about this issue,” the House speaker said. “And I think the president as well has mentioned that he wants to have a humane solution to this problem. I think that’s something that we in Congress are working on and need to deliver on."
Bbbbuuuttt no panic
. Just like obamacare...easy to bash but rescinding is brutal. Told y'all nikkas.

I'll sacrifice a few low wage low skill jobs to weaken the political power of white conservatives in this country.
I never want to go back to a time where whites are 90% of this country.
I've seen what that means.

Shocking
Black men making up such a large portion of low skilled workers should be more of a concern.
Agreed, but cosigning policies that exasperate the situation should be out of the question. Dems can
on immigration.
hopefully they took full advantage of the time obama gave them to get an education because with a college education they have a better chance of legally immigrating to canada or europe.

Fair enough, but shytting on black people in the hopes it will hurt whites sound like some agent banter.You may want to really access what whites will lose(power wise) by becoming a minority and weigh it against further destroying black economic mobility. Spoiler, Its not a good trade for blacks at all...
