What difference would it make if blacks are underserved by these people anyway?
Surely you don't think these people are doing a good job, do you?
BTW...do you hope this happens to white "leaders" too, seeing as how white people are primarily responsible for the illegal immigration situation to begin with. After all, You don't think black folks own all of those meatpacking, textile, and other heavy industrial plants, do you?
The effects of mass immigration have more of a negative consequences on Blacks. This has been consistently found in studies. I suspect you don't care much though.
Obama has deported more illegal immigrants than the last two Republican presidents. Try again mountainrose!!! I seriously don't know where conservatives get their false information from...
Lol he just changed how deportations are counted. Interior deportations, the traditional measure, have all but grounded to a halt.
This is something alot of people overlook, many Hispanics in Rangel's district are likely either illegal immigrants or only have legal residency status. Furthermore, US citizen Hispanics tend to have abysmally low election turnouts and even lower voter registration figures.
Not even that but a lot of Hispanics in his district are Puerto Ricans. A candidate running on Dominican solidarity isn't going to do much for them.
The man has cultivated relationships with power brokers for 40+ years. It'll take more than a marginal Dominican state legislator to dislodge him.
I don't really blame him for thinking that way. A lot of people are tired of unrestricted immigration and how everyone is expected to tow the party line (both Democrat and Republican) that immigration is always good and that America should allow as many immigrants as possible. It is really annoying that criticism of mass immigration is ignored and everyone is expected to believe out of control population growth in the USA is a good thing despite how awful the economy is and how it is incapable of producing jobs to keep up with the population growth.
The powers that be want a pliant serf class I'm shocked the Left no only doesn't see this but are actively promoting it.
Quite honestly seeing Mr. Rangel drooling and rambling on via the media makes one wonder why this man doesn't simply give it up? It isn't like he hasn't had good innings and surely must be weary of the toll politics takes upon one. Even Dingle and other senior congressmen have retired and or are going to do so.
One can only assume Mr. Rangel wants to some how not leave office while the legacy of scandal is still attached and fresh in person's minds. Then there is the pride/benefit of being an AA politician holding office with the first member of that race as POTUS, something Mr. Rangel and others of that group have held as a long cherished goal.
They get addicted to the lifestyle and perks. Most people would.
What difference does it make what race a business owner is? There are many mom and pop businesses ran by minorities and whom are Democrats that hire illegal aliens also. To hear some talk it is only white, rich conservatives that hire illegal aliens.
Not even that but a lot of Hispanics in his district are Puerto Ricans. A candidate running on Dominican solidarity isn't going to do much for them.

Mr. Rangel is very much a part of and had benefitted from the Democratic machine that while not as powerful in NYS/NYC politics as before still is a force local politics.
Still things do not always go the Machine's way. Christine Quinn was their darling in the recent NYC mayoral race and look what happened to her.
No, he hasn't. Obama himself admitted that his high deportation numbers were skewered as what was being counted were those turned away at the border also. His latest policy is not to deport any illegal aliens unless they are "convicted" criminals. Not to mention that he gave thousands of them a stay of deportation with work permits.
False information - it has been practically open borders with Obama -- too much proof to document here, try to read news besides the liberal propaganda and you will be better informed. I just moved from a border state, it has gotten way worse under Obama.
How did I guess that you were going to reply and not substantiate your claim!!!
