Where is Ann Coulter "wrong" here in this debate over immigration?

[kingofnyc]

What did she say that is right?

well she is 100% on the piggybacking of civil rights issues
to give her credit she acknowledge the wrong doings of America to blacks as far as slavery and Jim Crow laws etc. etc. and basically said certain people come to this country and think they are entitled to these rights

If you have more labor than is needed...then you will have downward pressure on wages.

This is scapegoating.

1. Wages have not kept up with productivity across the board. Whether you are talking about a day laborer cutting grass or a college graduate working as an accountant.
2. Productivity gains have only benefited a small group of people (large shareholders and high ranking executive)
3. There is also a correlation between gains for workers and strong unions. When we had strong unions between circa 1945 to about the early 80s, wages kept up with productivity gains across the board. Destruction of unions and decrease in their power correlated with wages not keeping up with productivity gains.

It's deeper than rap.

And if people like Ann Coulter care so much about the wages of the working poor, maybe they should support raising the minimum wage. But they don't.

They are just fanning the flames of xenophobia in order to cater to their xenophobic audience.

There is plenty of evidence that Mexicans compete with and take jobs from blacks.

Please show me evidence that Mexican immigration has excacerbated black unemployment

That's how it works in a vaccuum, irrespective of things like wage floors, geographic locations, qualifications, requirements, nepotism, etc.
If everyone in the US was competing for a set number of jobs in 1 industry with the same requirements, an no barrier for entry, then yes, this would be true.
In the real world, there is a massive variance on jobs, geographic locations, hiring barriers, and degree and work requirements.
How many Black people are competing for menial agriculture jobs, or manual labour jobs?
Neither you nor Ann Coulter has a complete 360 view of how economic prinicples work in the real world.
Any way she's anti-POCimmigration. I don't hear her complaining about European immigrants

 

[Broke Wave]

Lmao so at the bottom of the barrel are black and mexican jobs, only a certain amount mind you, and thus they must compete for these jobs and Mexicans are outpricing blacks and filling in all these positions? But mexicans dont take the advanced jobs of the whiteman right? like I legit do not understand the premise?

In fact, does someone want to direct me to the link between illegal immigrtation and unemployment? How about illegal immigration and a downward pressure on wages? Do you guys realize that wages have been stagnate since 1980?

It's not really scapegoating... if the unions wanted to continue to have power, then they shouldn't have became so lousy.

 

[Red Shield]

Anyway none of this really matters. The average person isn't going to be able to do anything about illegal immigration.

if MILLIONS of illegal people flood the country, then yes there will be a struggle. How does this not make sense?

I'll never make it to Assistant Manager of Burger King if the Mexicans keep taking all the fast food jobs

"where is Ann Coulter wrong..." is a troll topic if i've ever seen one

1 star

it's @Napoleon thread

This is very dumb attitude to have, low skills jobs are the foundation for the black economy, it's where young people start their resume, and it's where people with low education or low skills can start

And the other thing is the proliferation of bilingual requirements in entry level customer service and government jobs hurts black people

This ignorant attitude comes from black people letting white liberals (who have much more wealth, much more education and access to better jobs) guide the black agenda

Low skills jobs are vitally important to developing black wealth and a black economy, anybody saying otherwise is stupid and ignorant

I was just commenting on simple issues like immigration, not complex issues like @Napoleon 's posting career
