As long as the government handouts for the unemployed remain lavish and so generous, many people see no reason to work, unemployment isn't a problem as long as you get plenty of free food, plenty of free health care, free Obamaphones and free cable televsion.
If the government handouts get cut however -- then people would see the need in jobs. The NAACP supports unlimited immigration because it doesn't really see a problem with high black youth unemployment -- it's leaders benefit very nicely from maintaining a victim status for their people.
...as if every person of African descent in the U.S. is of the same ethnic/cultural background. Guess there any aren't non-Hispanic people of African descent or so-called "blacks" who are immigrants, who may themselves be in need of amnesty or any Hispanics who are of African descent or so-called "black" that are in need of amnesty.
Should I assume that the "ordinary blacks" that this man speaks of does not include those from Africa or the Caribbean then right? Certainly not Hispanics who of African descent either right?
Also, did he miss that Charles Rangel is of Puerto Rican descent? Oh but I guess because he's of African descent, he can't also be Hispanic right? He simply almost beat out by another Hispanic.
SMH.

Of course there are some, but there aren't many.

Right. He is referring to black descendants of slaves whose families have been in America a very long time. They comprise the vast majority of the black population in the U.S.

Maybe so, I was not aware that Rangel is Puerto Rican on his father's side. In any case, he was an associate of MLK, marched in Selma, and has always been known as a black leader, so he is vulnerable to a challenge from a Hispanic in a heavily Hispanic area.

Exactly, there are some. So just because he sees people who in his eyes are "blacks" supporting amnesty, he shouldn't assume that it isn't for their own.
Funny, I knew nothing about Rangel's history with MLK. Only thing I knew about him is that he's a Puerto Rican and African-American politician.

??? Where are the generous government handouts for unemployed childless adults? Food stamps only for 3 months every 36 (?) months. No Obamaphones if they share housing with other unemployed adults. Where's the free cable television?

Look at the big spike in "disability" and the perfectly able bodied types living off disability handouts.
You can bet your life if more Americans had to think about working for their living, they would not be so happy to have millions of illegals coming in lowering wages and taking jobs. The unemployed don't see a problem with 400,000 jobs being created and 1,500,000 immigrants moving in to take them.
Just like there was no big outrage with blacks when a president of a foreign nation Vicente Fox made that claim that Americans don't want the jobs. There is little work ethic as long as the government makes it very very easy to plan on never working.

What's the disability rate for young black adults (say, 18-34)? And given their high unemployment rate and low wages, how easy could it be for them to live on disability that would pay them what, $600 per month?

Well -- with their high unemployment rate and low wages, if it were difficult to live off government handouts, you wouldn't see this large support for unlimited immigration and amnesties. They would want jobs for American citizens.
It's obviously easy enough to live off government handouts when you don't mind that every job in the USA is open to anyone in the world who might want it --- all other nations have immigration laws and a big reason is to protect jobs for their people.
