“Illegal immigration is the greatest threat to blacks since slavery,” Hayes declared at a recent Choose Black America meeting in Inglewood. “Immigrants got our jobs, the hospitals, the schools. Black folks can’t compete.”

Victim mentality.

Victim mentality.

How can blacks, or any citizen for that matter, be expected to compete against under-the-table, cash labor that avoids taxes and other government regulations?

Victim mentality.

The fact of the matter is that working citizens are being victimized by illegal immigration. The poorer the worker, the more that worker is being victimized.

Blacks and immigrant labor competing is nothing new. Go look up the Draft Riots in New York. Historical fact. After the civil war, immigant labor kept black Americans from moving north.

There are only soo many low skilled jobs. In the real world, competition and increased supply lowers prices for labor.
