This has always puzzled me. Has it not dawned on Blacks that Hispanics would further dilute Black opportunity? Hispanics would get all the benefits of being a minority without the level of discrimination Blacks get. And quiet as kept, many Hispanics want to come here to mesh into the "majority" (think, Ted Cruz)

I think it's just because the left TELLS them that fighting illegal immigration is "racist". That buzz word just elicits a knee jerk reaction to resist without giving it any thought that their jobs are being taken away. Meanwhile what race is illegal?

What?! “All the benefits of being a minority?” And what are those “benefits?” I see why you’ve always been puzzled now.

Depends on who you talk to. Alot of black people are on both sides of the aisle on that subject. For me, I lean on the conservative side on that issue as I get older and see the effects of illegal immigration.

Because most of them are sheep who hold the propaganda lantern for plutocrats and globalizers. They know to keep their mouth shut about things that matter.


Everyone knows that mass immigration lowers wages for Black workers; and says nothing. Everyone knows mass immigration increases housing costs for Black people; and says nothing. Everyone knows that mass immigration swamps schools in Black areas; and says nothing.

Their job? You mean working as farm labor? They stopped that long ago after the civil war that freed them.

Topics like this are among the dumbest ever conceived. Have you polled every black to come to your conclusions? Do you base you conclusion on anything at all?

And the "build that wall" people can't wait to mesh right back with them.

I will give my opinion. I'm not pro-illegal. At the same time, I understand that there are people who prefer hiring illegals over hiring Blacks. Someone on the P&OC forum several years ago even admitted it. This tells me that even if illegals were gone, Blacks would still be more likely to be turned down for jobs than anyone else. Studies have shown that even with education accounted for, Blacks with college degrees still have higher rates of unemployment, even with the degree adjusted for.

The DNC told them it's not an issue.
