Can you provide any information from a non partisan organization that has studied the impact of illegal immigration on the Black American community?
Careful it's a trap, Mr. uninformed "Me" is setting you up.

Your party loves immigrants more that you. Their most loyal voter base.

Resources to illegal..I mean undocumented immigrants....

Resources to Black Americans their most loyal voter base...

You're looking at things in too small a time period, and all of you need to step back and stop defending the indefensible. Democrats nor Republicans have push through a policy that has helped black folks in more than right around 15 years.

As for immigration, If you don't start with Reagan your premise will be off. Both parties are full of shit. At times each party has had control of both houses and the executive branch and did nothing.


As the nation's attention turns back to the fractured debate over immigration, it might be helpful to remember that in 1986, Ronald Reagan signed a sweeping immigration reform bill into law.
The law granted amnesty to nearly 3 million illegal immigrants, yet was largely considered unsuccessful because the strict sanctions on employers were stripped out of the bill for passage.

At he end of the day that policy served to incentivize border crossings and exploitation of illegals by American employers. The Republican Party nor Trump is going to turn on big business. Earlier this year Trump killed a bipartisan immigration bill championed by Republican legislators so he could use it to run on. He isn't going to do a damn thing about it now either other than provide a show for the gullible. He has used visas and had illegals employed at Mara Lago himself.

Senior Senate Republicans are furious that Donald Trump may have killed an emerging bipartisan deal over the southern border, depriving them of a key legislative achievement on a pressing national priority and offering a preview of what’s to come with Trump as their likely presidential nominee.

In recent weeks, Trump has been lobbying Republicans both in private conversations and in public statements on social media to oppose the border compromise being delicately hashed out in the Senate, according to GOP sources familiar with the conversations – in part because he wants to campaign on the issue this November and doesn’t want President Joe Biden to score a victory in an area where he is politically vulnerable.

For years, President Donald Trump has insisted it’s impossible to find Americans to fill seasonal jobs at his hotels, resorts, and wineries, leaving him no choice but to hire foreign guest workers instead.

But government records obtained by BuzzFeed News reveal for the first time that at least 58 US workers applied for the temporary jobs as cooks, servers, and housekeepers at Mar-a-Lago and other Trump resorts from early 2014 through mid-2018.
Only one of them appears to have been hired.

According to media reports, Trump properties have also employed undocumented immigrants to perform gardening, maintenance, and groundskeeping work, but in the wake of public attention have begun terminating those employees — some of whom have worked for the resorts for years.

Mar-A-Lago Rejected Dozens Of Americans In Favor Of Foreign Workers

You want to be all back up big picture with people that can't see the wart on the end of their own nose.

You have to feed intellectual children milk before solid food. International condensing tone because of all the names they have called me.

If nothing else, every Black American including you needs to be clear on 1 topic.

No matter Republican, Democrat, ACLU, or any other group or organization supporting mass immigration.

What is the impact of mass immigration legal or not on Black Americans?

I know you know the answer but people need to say it.

It needs to be etched into people's brains. Mass immigration negatively impacts Black Americans. A vote supporting mass immigration is a vote against Black Americans.

Both parties might be full of Shit but one actually proves it daily. One is about to send the country into a recession.

Also despite having full control of the Congress is NOT a greenlight to make as many laws that you want. There is a process.
How many laws have the GOP blocked despite EVERYONE supporting them? Especially GOP folks in DEEP RED STATES that can't get voted out of office.

Along with big donors like the NRA and Elon Musk.

A lot of black people have been saying that for a while now. I've said to you before and others when the Texas Democratic Party, in the mid 90's, told the first black man who had been elected to state wide office since reconstruction, the recently departed Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Morris Overstreet, he wasn't a good enough candidate for state attorney general I bailed and have been an independent every since.

As I said earlier this week, neither party can be defended, both are full of shit. Some think that because one party says f_ _ k you and the other other says forget you they some are not saying the same thing although they prove it all the time.

Either are both parties can produce tangibles that will help everybody and blacks folks will benefit as well, but that is not the interest they serve.

There is good and bad with both sides. However it seems everyone and their mother only wants to target Democrats. Who tends to do better when in charge after they fix the mess the other party does.

One tries and the other does not. One tries to win over everyone and the other as of now only cares about one demographic.

I'm not saying they're identical. State, regional and local interest naturally create differences in intra-party politics, but at the federal level things are done right before our eyes that indicate there is not much difference between the two parties as we would like to think.

Have you ever asked yourself how did Biden end up appointing and allowing a man to remain attorney general that dragged his feet for years on prosecuting Trump? I have, and I don't think the appointment of Merrick Garland was by accident, but instead intentional.

Recall, Biden was Barack's VP. Late in Barack's second term, his lame duck year, Supreme Court Justice Scalia passed away. Mitch McConnell, out of spite for Barack's presidency more than anything else, made it known publicly he was not letting a confirmation hearing take place for another justice although Barack still had ten months left in his presidency at the time.

Barack decided he would still try to fill the vacancy anyway. After consultation with another old guard republican, Orin Hatch, he was advised republicans would let Merrick Garland get through. That never happened although Barack went ahead and publicly tapped Garland for the vacancy. I hope you see where I'm going with this by now.

Since Biden was Barack's VP, and new those details very intimately, why would he appoint someone republicans had no misgivings about? What was the real reason behind Merrick Garland taking his sweet time, around two years after already being in office, to actively prosecute Trump?

I believe Garland was intentionally appointed to slow walk the prosecution. I don't believe it bothered his nor Biden's conscious one bit either. Recall what I said earlier, the republicans had no issue with Garland.

In a nutshell, I believe the fix was in from the very beginning. A group of old white privileged men, Biden & Garland, decided to protect another old white privileged man, Trump. Party affiliation and justice took a back seat to the good ole boy fraternity.

As for the economy, you get no argument here. Data supports the markets perform better and job creation trend upwards when democrats are governing.

This is why when Republicans bring up Chicago, New York and California you have to close your ears. Numbers don't lie. Only lips. Although the population of the south red states grew. The quality in life is at the bottom. Here's what stood out in this article!!!

Southern boom fueled fastest U.S. growth in decades, new Census estimates show

The South is already the largest and fastest growing region in the country.

www.al.com

That includes Alabama, which gained around 26,000 people through domestic migration, and another 16,000 from international migration. Those figures were more than enough to offset the fact that Alabama, for the fourth year in a row, saw more deaths than births.
Alabama is one of 17 states to lose population through natural change. It’s a sign that the state, and some others, may still have yet to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Alabama had never seen more deaths than births in modern history until it did so in 2020.
Almost every state in the nation grew in 2024, but while the South grew like kudzu, it was also home to two of the three states that lost people. Both Mississippi and West Virginia shrank last year

This is flat out evil, the era of pain has begun:

The slimmed-down version was stripped of language that would have allowed children with relapsed cancer to undergo treatments with a combination of cancer drugs and therapies. (Currently the Food and Drug Administration is only authorized to direct pediatric cancer trials of single drugs.) The bill also didn’t include an extension of a program that gave financial lifelines, in the form of vouchers, to small pharmaceutical companies working on rare pediatric diseases. It was also missing earlier provisions that would have allowed for kids on Medicaid or CHIP—that is, poor children—to access medically complex care across state lines.

For political veterans, however, the most striking absence in the revised bill was the language that would have extended funding for the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Program.

Elon Killed the Budget Deal. Cancer Research for Kids Was Collateral Damage.

Advocates were celebrating the inclusion of money and provisions to help fund pediatric research. And then the tweets started.
