Even you can’t actually believe the nonsense you spew.
Anyone against immigrants is against Black people. No one can look at me and tell the difference between me and a Jamaican, Haitian, Cuban, or Brazilian, or a Nigerian. They are all my people.

Just knock it off already. And also put down the bottle.
Btw, notice how people like Giuliani or Trump never get any significant support from Black Americans. Most voting African Americans would agree with me. They/we voted for De Blasio, not Lhota in 2013.
African Americans by in large vote Democrat, and for the same politicians that support immigration and for the same politicians that have large Hispanic, and Asian bases.
Rikers has become a huge money pit for taxpayers of NYC to run ($1.36 billion). Its conditions and high profile aftermath deaths (Kalief Brower) have turned Rikers into a huge legal and PR liability!
The problem is, that very few people want the jails in the boroughs, even though it may be a necessary reality.
The following are heavily against the plan.....
NIMBYs. No neighborhood, good or bad, rich or poor, wants a facility in its neighborhood
Correction officers, who lose jobs
Very progressive social justice advocates, who advocate de-criminalization, like disbanding police and permanently ending the incarceration system

Kapi had a good idea, put them in industrial zones. But that's besides the point because we ALREADY HAVE A PLACE TO PUT THEM - it's called Rikers Island. It's a perfect place and WE ALREADY HAVE IT. If the conditions are bad then fix the f***ng conditions! Don't just let out the rapists and burglars
