Undocumented workers hurting black employment? Twitter brehs and brehettes say: "nah"

[Booker T Garvey]

People on twitter are just trying to go viral, 99% of the shyt #blacktwitter puts out there they’d never say at a cookout

The data supports the argument, plain and simple. No emotion, no politics, sinbad put it best:

 

[HUSSLA'S P.]

They drive down the wages.

Real shyt.

Ask them nikkas in Texas, Arizona, Colorado, etc....

 

[I Really Mean It]

Let's say we accept his challenge and black people go "work in the fields." If employers paid market wages to a workforce of black people, would their productivity be less than that of the illegals in those fields? Doubtful. Why not put this to a test and see what the outcome is? Of course, that'll never happen because black people aren't willing to take the piddling wages they pay illegals to do those jobs. What you have, essentially, is a black market of labor that excludes the participation of black people and enjoys a surplus of illegal labor that is willing to work for wages below market rates. Black people, particularly ADOS, can't compete against that kind of disadvantage without government intervention. Keep voting for Democrats, though.

It's not just jobs picking fruits and vegetables. Construction, landscaping, janitorial, movers, etc are dominated by illegal immigrants. As far as picking fruits and vegetables, black people or other people would do it if these companies would actually pay a decent wage. Why go pick fruit in the fields for less than minimum wage when you can do something else. Don't say black people aren't willing to do it because black people did it for free during slavery and up through the 60s.

Although I believe the emphasis should be placed on these businesses that continue to hire illegal immigrants when they know for a fact that they're here illegally.

fukk Pabs and his people.

 

[???]

dude needs to shut the fukk up, when these immigrants convert dollars to their country's currency, that shyt is always a goldmine. he doesn't say anything about that, bytch ass spic. work hard my ass...

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

Wait till the next gen goes to college via the dream act....all those gov jobs educated black people rely on will be going to hispanics.

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Sooooo...nobody is going to punish the American companies that hire illegals? You know that won’t happen, because too many whites would be in trouble.

They’ve always had a problem paying livable wages. But that doesn’t seem to be a major concern over at the White House.

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Why do they act like illegals only do field work?

They don’t. But you know all the people saying that think most black people are idiots who have no skills, and can only do that kind of work.

They don’t consider all the college educated black people whose resumes get tossed out for their “ethnic names”.

They also don’t consider...drumroll...there are black people who don’t live near farms!

 

[ColdSlither]

I personally don’t have anything against them. 1) Stop doing supporting destabilizing shyt in their countries that make them want to come here in the first place. 2) These jobs need to pay living wages. I remember reading something about how Georgia tried this. Passed some law to only hire citizens, and for a while it did result in illegals leaving the state. It did result in more black, and white, people getting these jobs. But then they would work for a week or so and not come back. Or were difficult to work with. Why? Because they weren’t getting paid shyt, and also wasn’t going to take any fukkery in general. Those business owners complained and it was right back to illegal help again.

It’s also a butterfly affect. Because we have this huge black market of Spanish speaking workers, it makes it so that even higher paying administrative jobs, just as an example, are only looking for bilingual employees. So now that’s a black person missing out on a 9-5 office job, to someone who either came legally or are anchor babies.

 

[@OffHalsted]

Ain't no fields in Chicago but we top 5 for illegal workers
Also Social Media is a echo chamber..

 

[Arcavian]

They don't have a clear understanding of how this shyt works but we should educate them instead of separate

Imo

 

[Thanos]

As soon as they start paying meaningful wages,. They are ready with the machines. the undocumented immigrants are the temporary buffer.

 

[hayesc0]

It's a nuanced issue sometimes they take our jobs. Many times they are doing jobs literally no one else wants though.

1. Undocumented workers do much more than farm work.
2. For farm work, you can apply to be a seasonal worker instead of being undocumented.
