So concludes Carol Swain, Professor of law and political science at Vanderbilt University.
“New research by a Vanderbilt professor of law and political science found that illegal immigration is hurting African Americans and the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is not doing enough about it.
In a new book of essays called Debating Immigration, which Carol Swain edited and contributed to, Swain said that African Americans are losing more jobs to illegal immigrants than other racial or ethic groups, yet low income black workers don’t have political input in the debate.
“African Americans have been left devoid of a strong black voice in Congress on a topic that affects them deeply, given their high unemployment rates and historic struggle to get quality housing, health care, education and other goods and services,†said Swain.
Swain used a study conducted by the Pew Hispanic Center, which found high unemployment rates among African Americans and Hispanics was partially attributed to the large number of low-skilled immigrants. Swain added that lax or non-existent immigration rules help businesses get away with hiring illegal immigrants instead of legal workers.
“The greatest competition occurs among people at the margins of society; a multi-racial group that includes poorly educated blacks, whites and Hispanics who compete against each other and against new immigrants for low-wage, low-skill jobs.†(more…)
One of the main reasons why the CBC (and you can also include the NAACP) is not fully addressing this issue is simply because they have become fully vested with Liberals (check their websites to see a list of their allies). They have abandoned some of the historic core values of the Democratic party that seeks to protect AMERICAN workers from being sold out for cheaper labor. Instead of addressing the issue that Ms. Swain is bringing up here, these groups like clockwork will turn it into a race issue (Black and Brown UNITE) banking on a tidal wave of Black rage to stir up ignorance on this issue.
Apparently it works as many folks STILL continue to vote ‘em back in office.
The Illegals and thier supproters are trying to capitalize on Juneteenth by holding a rally in D.C. Care to guess which will make the news somewhere??
8 Jun (Notimex). - Before the obstacles that the migratory reform faces, defending organizations of the rights of the immigrants will make a national march the 19 of June to the White House to demonstrate to president George W. Bush “that we are not giving upâ€. The leader of the Movement By the Right Migratory Reformation, Cristina Lopez, and the defense counsel of immigrants, Jorge Rivera, noticed that with a possible cancellation of the debate on the migratory reform they would increase raids against the undocumented people, who are more than 12 million in this country.
Before it, Lopez informed in interview who “we are organizing a national march towards the White House to demonstrate to president Bush who we are not giving up and we will continue to fight for the right migratory reformâ€. He indicated that before the possible cancellation of the debate on the migratory reform measures will be taken to avoid raids and to create conscience between the community of immigrants, to press please to the Congress of the United States in a right reform.
On the other hand, the lawyer Creek considered that no longer there are immediate hopes of a migratory reform, in addition of which they would increase the casts against the undocumented immigrants. It indicated that if the subject is not discussed again in next November the migratory reform would be retaken up to three or four years later. The declarations of the defenders of the immigrants registered hours before Meeting initiates in this city the 46th Interparlamentaria United Mexico-State, where among other subjects will be discussed the one of the migration and the legal cooperation in security and subjects. The Mexican delegation integrated by 20 legislating ones already even informed that the meeting in a while occurs delicate politician in this country, due to the electoral process that almost went ahead a year, the discussion in the Congress on the war with Iraq and the same debate of the migratory reform. However, the delegation of Mexico anyway indicated that this interparliamentary meeting - that initiates Saturday tomorrow is one more an opportunity to establish a permanent dialogue about the ample bilateral agenda, mainly with the House of Representatives that could possibly open its own debate with respect to its project of migratory reform.
As a black person in NYC. Many minorities including Illegals ar Anti-Black. I am educated ans self taught in a language.It is neither French nor Spanish.
InNYC schols many imcompetent minoritiy groups link up with each other against blacks. They are liars,steal money and identities and put on plastic smiles. They are all Third world and live to steal,lie for money look at Touro College’s expose on faulty degrees and the fact that people offered sex, money and more to alter grades to A’ and B’s.
Yet black people hope to establish a dialogue with these people. Yeah right, me conversing with a prostitute, drug and human traffic person,a henchman.
Many of these Loser Theif Minorities(Thai,Chinese, Indian etc) were kicked out of Europe and America gives them H-1B visas, a political voice and a chance to continue their wave of corruption and it works for them here. Where else can a Drug Dealer , Illegal Immigrant ,with a arrest record,attend and graduate from an Ivy League school, only in America.
