Al Sharpton and Wal-Mart: Open-borders buddies
From Michelle Malkin
The nation’s biggest racial demagogue and the nation’s biggest employer joined hands at the National Council of La Raza’s annual conference to push for another shamnesty bill. AP reports:
The Rev. Al Sharpton and Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott became unlikely allies Tuesday in their call to revive immigration legislation, in speeches before the nation’s largest Hispanic civil rights organization. “Congress needs to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill now,” said Scott, who heads the world’s largest retailer.
Scott attributed his views in part to his Mexican-American granddaughter, who has helped him to understand immigration as more than “simply a cerebral exercise.”
Read the rest here, but hold on….
I thought people like poverty pimp Al Sharpton represented the interest of Negro folks?
Illegal immigration hurts blacks, particularly poor blacks more than any other racial demographic. Sharpton obviously dismisses this notion. Oh well, a few more unemployed black folks as a result of illegal immigrants won’t matter.
Let’s see black unemployment is around 10.5 percent and increasing.
Factoring in education, in 2000, 65 percent of black male high school dropouts in their 20’s were jobless that is, unable to find work, not seeking it or incarcerated. By 2004, the share had grown to 72 percent, compared with 34 percent of white and 19 percent of Hispanic dropouts. Even when high school graduates were included, half of black men in their 20’s were jobless in 2004, up from 46 percent in 2000.
There is furious debate amongst blacks over the economic impact that the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. have on the job market.
I have read many articles by black intellectual types stating that there is no concrete evidence that employers hire Latinos at low-end jobs and exclude blacks from them solely because of their race.
However after being in Los Angeles I frankly think that is bullshit.
These same black intellectuals also state that many blacks will no longer work the low skilled, menial factory, restaurant, and custodial jobs that in decades past they filled. The pay is too low, the work too hard, and the indignities too great. I guess being poor, broke and jobless is preferable.
Now employers vehemently deny that they shun blacks, and maintain that blacks don’t apply for these jobs; I find that hard to believe.
I frankly don’t get why these sellout black folks are so protective of illegal immigrants.
The only thing I can think of is in order to maintain their political slave master relationship with the Democratic Party, black misery must be tied to Republicans, Bush, or tax cuts for the rich.
Let me tell you, growing up in Oakland this culture and job clash was a problem back then. Mexicans and blacks don’t like each other, so any perceived “collaboration” between black folks and the illegal Mexican lobbyists types are just a political smoke screen.
This is an old You Tube clip showing this lady who owns a landscaping business and saying that half of her workforce is made up of illegal immigrants.
The no so subtle message from people like this lady who says her jobs are “too hard for most people” is that blacks won’t be hired, even if they do apply. “You niggas are just too lazy.”
Let’s get real; an entire category of jobs at the bottom rung of American industry has been clearly marked as “Latino only” jobs. Further evidence that illegal immigration (cheep labor) increases the economic misery of poor blacks.
However, Democrats will argue, no problem give the Mexicans the low paying jobs and we will simply increase welfare perks for you Negros who prefer to stay at home and watch courtroom shows all day. It’s the least we can do for you Negros as long as you continue voting Democrat.
