Ahh... African-Americans. Politically... a block vote for
the Democratic Party - therefore a block vote for the Left.
Americans who are black... the 90% or so who generally vote
Democrat... you folks had better wise up your inner African-American! The Left
is selling you down the river...

One of the sleeper issues surrounding the debate on
amnesty for illegal immigrants – an inconvenient one that no proponent of a
widespread amnesty wishes to acknowledge – is the devastating effect so-called
immigration reform will have on African Americans.
* I ACKNOWLEDGE IT ALL THE TIME! AMERICA FIRST! AMERICANS
FIRST! (AMERICAN BLACKS ARE AMERICANS...!!!)
* AND FOR THAT MATTER.. SO ARE AMERICAN HISPANICS... AND
AMERICAN ASIANS... AND SO ON AND SO FORTH!
* A*M*E*R*I*C*A*N*S...!!!
The black unemployment rate is almost 11%, far higher
than that of any other group profiled by labor statistics.
African Americans are disproportionately employed in
lower-skilled jobs – the very same jobs immigrants take.
As Steven Camarota asked in a recent column, why double
immigration when so many people already aren’t working?
* HISPANICS HAVE HIGHER BIRTH RATES. THE DEMOCRATS SEE
THE HISPANIC "BLOCK VOTE" AS THE BLOCK VOTE OF THE FUTURE. THEY VIEW
THE BLACK "BLOCK VOTE" AS HAVING NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.
Who will be harmed most by amnesty? African-Americans.
* DUH...!!!
The issue resurfaced this week when a YouTube video
emerged of two young African-Americans confronting pro-illegal-immigration
demonstrators in Murrieta, California.
(Murrieta is one of the towns in which undocumented
minors are being relocated — and supporters are squaring off with protestors.)
The young man argues:
"If somebody brought six children to your house and
you ain’t got no job, are you gonna take them in? … What are you gonna do? Are
you gonna try to go out there and take care of these children AND the children
you got already that you can’t take care of? … What are we going to do for the
people who are here who are starving already? … We got our OWN people that are
starving and hungry…"
"Why would we add to the problem?!"
* WHY INDEED...?
* HOW'BOUT... BECAUSE THE ELITES WHO CHAMPION OPEN BORDERS
AND A "PATH TO CITIZENSHIP" FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS DON'T GIVE A CRAP
ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT?! CERTAINLY THEY DON'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT POOR AMERICAN BLACK
UNEMPLOYMENT!
[The young man] also laments the problems in black
neighborhoods where prices “are upped on everything” after large groups of
immigrants move in.
* AGAIN... NEITHER THE DEMOCRATS NOR THE RINO
ESTABLISHMENT GIVE A DAMN. (IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE!)
The young woman argues:
"It’s just too much … We already have our own poor
people. Starvation, kids walking with no shoes … We don’t need other people’s
kids to bring more problems…. You’re gonna watch America go spiraling down …
We’re already in debt as it is. [Now] we’re gonna need more money to support
these kids."
Why are Democratic politicians disregarding the concerns
and needs of black Americans in a push to address the concerns and needs of
foreigners?
Amnesty proponents speak of the need to grant others a
better life – but what of the need to
look out for our fellow Americans?
What of those black Americans whose ancestors quite
literally built this nation through the sweat of their brows?
* OK... CAREFUL... LET'S NOT LAY IT ON TOO FRIGGIN'
THICK...
(*SNORT*)
Instead, Democrats are chucking aside black voters in
their rush to lock in the Latino vote (or so they’re hoping).
Taken for granted as a given come election-time, blacks
are now actively harmed as the Democrats vow to grow their voting base through
importing more and more of what they see as future "blue-voters."
It’s the husband who leaves his wife of 30 years: "We had a good run,
honey, but I’ve found someone new."
Black attorney and member of the U.S. Commission on Civil
Rights Peter Kirsanow, serves as one of the lone voices of reason, repeatedly
outlining the harm amnesty will cause black Americans. In a 2013 letter to the
Congressional Black Caucus, he wrote:
“The obvious question is whether there are sufficient
jobs in the low-skilled labor market for both African-Americans and illegal
immigrants. The answer is no.”
Kirsanow’s statistics demonstrate the way in which
immigration impacts the wages and employment opportunities of black males and
hurts the black community. But no one seems to listen to Kirsanow.
Meanwhile, the harm to African Americans is not limited
to reduced wages, greater competition for jobs, and declining household incomes;
now even the black history of suffering is being diluted. Liberal columnist and
CNN pundit Sally Kohn penned a column last week arguing that the term "illegal
immigrant" is the same as the N-word.
(*SIGH*)
(*SNORT*)
(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
Kohn, is usually fair-minded and reasoned in her
arguments, lumping black Americans’ unique history and suffering with that of
certain Latino immigrants is absurd and offensive. Consider that the N-word was
used to describe a person who was whipped daily, while "illegal immigrant"
is a word used to describe a person who [nowadays often] receives free
education (even in-state tuition!), housing, driver’s licenses, legal aid,
food, and healthcare!
(To even claim the two words are similar is an
unthinkable affront – and insult – to African-Americans.)
* I'VE GOTTA AGREE...
Senator Jeff Sessions’ recent National Review
column “On Immigration, It’s Time to
Defend Americans,” hits the nail on the head. Sessions notes:
"Harvard professor George Borjas estimated that high
immigration rates from 1980 to 2000 resulted in a 7.4% wage reduction for
lower-skilled American workers … The Center for Immigration Studies issued a
study based on Census data showing that 'since 2000 all of the net gain in the
number of working-age (16 to 65) people holding a job has gone to immigrants.' …
If mass immigration is so good for the economy, why then — during this long
sustained period of record immigration into the U.S. — are incomes falling and
a record number of Americans not working?"
Birthright citizenship is already bad enough; largely
refusing to deport illegal immigrants is already bad enough. But now, we’ve
upped the ante even further!
Overburdened taxpayers, including black taxpayers, are
covering the cost to feed, clothe and educate illegals; and black Americans
face the additional burden of having their historic suffering belittled and
their precarious circumstances made even worse.
(*ROLLING MY EYES*)
* AGAIN... ENOUGH WITH THE HISTRIONICS... (BUT THE
GENERAL POINT IS INDEED FAIR ENOUGH!)
Democrats have built a brand as the party willing to
stand up for black Americans, but the amnesty push shows what a false promise
that was. The message to black voters is:
