The first generation of illegals worked hard. You would work hard to if the USA was a third world country with no money and no jobs. But you could go to Canada, and get a job the next day making hundreds of dollars.

By your reasoning we should give everyone in China a USA citizenship because they would work hard.
America was doing just fine before the globalists opened the borders and allowed about 25 million of the worlds most uneducated socialists to invade.

Seriously, is the black community aware that Obama wants Amnesty for illegals? and Amnesty is endorsed by the Congressional Black Caucus? and if Amnesty goes through the black community will be tossed aside because the Democrats have a larger minority group to court votes from? They need to wakeup!

From the worshipful chatter I hear on urban talk radio, many black Americans are still in a trance over Obama, and somehow do not blame him for the economic woes. Amnesty for illegals isn't even on their radar. They are being played for fools by the Dems, and have no idea that their days of being courted by the Dems will end and that they will thrown aside like garbage if amnesty happens.

“Speaking of STUPID, saw a bit of stupidpak crying about mean ol Pubbies on “tingle up my leg” spitmaker matthews last night.”

I hope that sell-out gets what’s coming to him this November. Maybe a solid conservative can win the GOP primary there and then let the voters demonstrate in the Nov. general election what they think of Stupidpak selling out protection for the unborn for some water project (or whatever he sold out for). Everyone knows President JugEars signed his anti-abortion EO in disappearing ink.

Excellent analysis. I know where you’re coming from. One thing you need to keep in mind about the Hispanic illegitimacy rate (and it is ghastly) is that the Hispanic male tends to stay with the woman they impregnate. Blacks have more of a random, serial, laugh it off and move on the the next one mentality. After all, the white man will — and should —pay.

“Amnesty for illegals isn’t even on their radar.”

Most of them don’t know what “amnesty” means.

Stuck on Stupid alert.

This is an ongoing problem. but is it stupidity or ignorance? We all say 'can't fix stupid' but we are going to have to try to somehow break through the barriers. There are conservative 'black' leaders and they should be manning the front lines in an effort to educate (imo) and during the lesson, they can show the stark differences between philosphies and how the black people have become 'enslaved' to the state.

I'm not a good debater or instructor because I lose patience with the other side and end up wanting to choke the everloving crap out of the opponent, but there are some that have the patience & ability to transform (loathe that word now) thinking. This is part of what we need right now.

Sorry, but I have to call BS on that.

Call it what you will. Work is there, but people can't pay what they used. Even for the able-bodied guy with a pickup truck, chainsaws, and the rigging to do tree surgery.

Amnesty gonna wack em down another notch. It will vault Hispanics as the numero uno “minority” and the AA train rolls on right over the black man.

I agree with what you said, instead of focusing on immigrants and looking for the best and brghtest, we’ve settled on political correctness and focus on the lazy and stupid.

Many of those jobs would go to legal “guest workers,” per informal polling I have done of small business owners (many of them immigrants themselves from every continent) regarding the feasibility of hiring hood rats.

and yet the black legislators as a bloc are the biggest cheerleaders for higher taxes and higher national debt and punishing small business initiative and socialism

I felt like an owl for almost a year, till I replaced being unemployed by being under-employed...

Went from about $11/hr sitting on my arse, to $8/hr...

And people said I was stupid for taking this job...

The jury is still out on that case...

....that their days of being courted by the Dems will end and that they will thrown aside like garbage if amnesty happens.

As a kind of cross-rate equation between black and Mexican voting blocs, I hadn't given that much thought ..... but I'll bet you're right. Zero cares more about 25,000,000 new votes than he does about spiking up turnout in the old black wards.

Natalie Arceneaux and Tom Sowell (and Michael Steele, if he ever comes to work) need to crank up the volume a bit on this angle.

The worst thing to ever happen to Black Americans since the sixties was to let themselves be “guided” by the Democrat Party. Virtually all the elected leaders of the Black districts, Maxine Waters etal, are the worst collection of scoundrels to ever lead any group of people. They and the Dem Party are gigantic anchors on the efforts of Black Americans to get ahead.

The poor often have no hope.

MAY I SAY THIS . . . AGAIN?

Hoover, Truman and Eisenhower deported illegal aliens in order to make jobs available for returning Military.

It took Eisenhower 2 years and he also deported documented workers on behalf of the Military.

IF OBAMA AND THIS ADMINISTRATION AND THE DEMOCRATS REALLY CARED ABOUT OUR MILITARY, THEY WOULD EMULATE THESE THREE FORMER PRESIDENTS.

Obama does not give a damn about the condition of black America. What did he ever do for them as a community organizer? As a state senator? They were just votes to get him to someplace else.

Obama had an upbringing of privilege. Even in Indonesia, the family "lived in a villa in a garden". Obama went to the best schools and never had to overcome anything. Neither did Michelle, who basically had her life handed to her. They have what they want.

Two days ago, I was in the grocery store and saw a very young girl (maybe eight years old?) with a distended belly that was indicative of either (a) malnourishment (but she looked otherwise healthy) or (b) pregnancy. I think (b) was more likely.

She was accompanied by her elderly grandparents. Grandfather was in a wheelchair.
