This is a major development if it holds up.
Of course, Eisenhower also was big on Illegals.
I don’t know if Carson is getting much black support. Sometimes it seems they don’t care for blacks that rose above the ghetto and became successful. Just my observation.
ohboyohboyohboy the cat’s out of the bag now!
True, many in BLM are courting Latinos to form solidarity in a revolution. They need cannon fodder and convincing poor Latinos to rise up against a common oppressor could be problematic and make any internal conflicts even bloodier.
Put American Workers First
Decades of disastrous trade deals and immigration policies have destroyed our middle class. Today, nearly 40% of black teenagers are unemployed. Nearly 30% of Hispanic teenagers are unemployed. For black Americans without high school diplomas, the bottom has fallen out: more than 70% were employed in 1960, compared to less than 40% in 2000. Across the economy, the percentage of adults in the labor force has collapsed to a level not experienced in generations. As CBS news wrote in a piece entitled “America’s incredible shrinking middle class”: “If the middle-class is the economic backbone of America, then the country is developing osteoporosis.”
The influx of foreign workers holds down salaries, keeps unemployment high, and makes it difficult for poor and working class Americans – including immigrants themselves and their children – to earn a middle class wage. Nearly half of all immigrants and their US-born children currently live in or near poverty, including more than 60 percent of Hispanic immigrants. Every year, we voluntarily admit another 2 million new immigrants, guest workers, refugees, and dependents, growing our existing all-time historic record population of 42 million immigrants. We need to control the admission of new low-earning workers in order to: help wages grow, get teenagers back to work, aid minorities’ rise into the middle class, help schools and communities falling behind, and to ensure our immigrant members of the national family become part of the American dream.
Additionally, we need to stop giving legal immigrant visas to people bent on causing us harm. From the 9/11 hijackers, to the Boston Bombers, and many others, our immigration system is being used to attack us. The President of the immigration caseworkers union declared in a statement on ISIS: “We've become the visa clearinghouse for the world.”
Here are some additional specific policy proposals for long-term reform:
Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program's lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.
Requirement to hire American workers first. Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need to companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.
End welfare abuse. Applicants for entry to the United States should be required to certify that they can pay for their own housing, healthcare and other needs before coming to the U.S. Jobs program for inner city youth. The J-1 visa jobs program for foreign youth will be terminated and replaced with a resume bank for inner city youth provided to all corporate subscribers to the J-1 visa program.
Refugee program for American children. Increase standards for the admission of refugees and asylum-seekers to crack down on abuses. Use the monies saved on expensive refugee programs to help place American children without parents in safer homes and communities, and to improve community safety in high crime neighborhoods in the United States.
Immigration moderation. Before any new green cards are issued to foreign workers abroad, there will be a pause where employers will have to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed immigrant and native workers. This will help reverse women's plummeting workplace participation rate, grow wages, and allow record immigration levels to subside to more moderate historical averages.
This poll is a head to head matchup against Hillary. Trump is almost tripling Romney’s performance among blacks. And you are right. Most blacks are still not paying attention.
We are talking about millions of extra votes based on this poll alone.
“Add to that the reasonable expectation that Trump has no interest in shrinking the size of government — and it is definitely not a shock.”
And just where did you get that mistaken idea?
There are a number of people being interviewed.
Anybody hear anything from biden yet? No?
Neither does the GOP. Never did. They’ve lied the entire time.
Bwahaha. Go, Donald!
“I don’t know of a Republican that got 25% of the Black vote since Eisenhower.”
And Boosh and the rest, save Cruz and maybe Carson wouldn’t get it either. Hopefully, we won’t get to see.
He probably means the willingness to reach across the isle.
Thanks! Interesting stuff...
It is the plan. Trump and Carson have been friends for decades. You will notice that Trump Carson and Cruz. Already would win moat of the delegates in the early states where delegates are awarded proportionately. ITs the A team. Mr T has the gold and strength.
I’m open to information which would dissuade me of that notion.
Ok, about that stuff you posted.
Where do you live Kabar? Maybe you can perform a little polling experiment?
Go to Ferguson. Or Detroit. Or Baltimore. Or DC. Use the man on the street format and ask walker-bys if they will share whether they plan to vote in the next election or not, and if so, who for. And if you get any answers that say “TRUMP” and you follow-up with “Why”, please let me know how many of them recite the same info you just posted.
The truth is what you posted a lot of previous Republicans have advocated. Rick Santorum is the most recent I can think of who had a similar platform on this from 2012. Did he get any love from the black community? Of course not. You know why? Because they were too busy voting for Obama the Messiah. And why is that? Because Obama the Messiah delivers the goodies just like Trump the pseudo-conservative will.
And Trump undermined his own position by saying he wanted to expedite the “productive” ones back into the workforce after going home. What is Trump’s definition of the word “productive” as it pertains to illegals that would try to reenter legally, and what’s the cutoff?
