Why aren't Black folk anti-immigration?


Are you assuming those folks (janitors, etc) are here illegally and the managers of the building you lease are hiring them? Most maintenance folks at my job are Hispanic also but I am pretty certain none of them are illegal immigrants. I also work with a lot of Asians (Far East and Indian), Russians, Middle-Easterners, etc. I have no problem with them and they do great work.
I am not saying that is the case 100% but I do know that is the case in many circumstances....a large percentage of the circumstances. Hell they just busted congressmen a few years back employing illegals as domestics and yes, I am saying the maintenance guy in the building I office in is illegal.

Yeah domestic housekeepers, home construction workers, etc often aren't legal but the folks working for legit W2 type companies I'm less inclined to assume

Freeway construction, commercial construction...it is happening more than you may want to believe.
 
Kool I think the easy answer to your question is that most blacks realize the problem isn't the illegal immigrant, but those that employ them and the obvious lack of enforcement to discourage employers from hiring them. With little to no enforcement what is there to deter an employer from hiring an illegal immigrant? In addition, the benefits for an employer are alluring. It is not only reduced salaries that are influencing their decisions, but the reduction in total compensation cost. Illegal immigrants have no expectation of medical, dental and vision benefits. They have no expectation of compensation time, sick time, vacation time or FMLA time. No expectation of overtime pay, shift differential or weekend pay. No expectation of payment for unused sick, comp time or vacation time upon retirement, and definitely not a pension. With employers benefiting like they are from illegal immigration/reduction in total compensation cost and the federal government being complicit in allowing to happen it's just my opinion that being anti-immigration isn't where the fight should be waged. Instead, American citizens should be asking for an immediate and swift crack-down on employers hiring illegals. The fines levied against employers engaging in such practices should be allocated towards more law enforcement efforts to address the same so the enforcement pays for itself.

Historically new immigrants have suppressed wages for the working class. And if the immigrants don’t come to us, corporations take the low paying jobs to them.

Indeed, now you're talking about a reduction in total compensation cost plus little if any regulations. No occupational safety regulations, pollution standards or hazardous waste standards just to name a few.
