Amnesty and Black America..
Published:
This article originally appeared in National Review
One of the sleeper issues surrounding the debate on amnesty for illegal immigrants � an inconvenient one that no proponent of a widespread amnesty wishes to acknowledge � is the devastating effect so-called immigration reform will have on African Americans.
The black unemployment rate is almost 11 percent, far higher than that of any other group profiled by labor statistics. African Americans are disproportionately employed in lower-skilled jobs � the very same jobs immigrants take. As Steven Camarota asked in a recent column, why double immigration when so many people already aren't working?
Who will be harmed most by amnesty? African-Americans.

There are, in fact, lots of job openings but there is a serious lack of unqualified personnel to fill those positions and this report just came out as well. OJT (On the Job Training) needs to make a serious come back in today's world and this will alleviate the unemployment abroad. Back in the old days, my grandfather said that guys that were dependable and worked hard could leave one job and get another one the same day...maybe even better. It was all word of mouth about a guy's work ethics that got him the job and they'd train him to what they needed. This is non-existent today unless you're the son of the big boss or his nephew etc.
People are intimidated by the criteria they need to meet to obtain a given job and so many people are simply good hard workers more than willing to just learn. Employers need to be conveyed this message instead of turning people away just because they may not posses all the requirements. Also, some job is better than no job and no one should turn down an offer if it get's them of the system. In all honesty, Hispanics will accept the least wage for a given job because of their living arrangements. Lots of them all live in one house and pitch in and help with everything and there's nothing wrong with it at all. Blacks don't inherently live this way which makes it tougher to make ends meet with the same wage that Hispanic guy is tickled to death with. This can't help but to make sense, and, is why more and more employers are raising their wages. This reduces the turn over rate drastically and creates a desire for more people to apply for a given job now.
It's all about a happy medium to get people back into the work force, you know. Every single business that has raised wages is experiencing positive growth and it's public information. When people make more money, they have more money to live, spend, and boost the economy...it's proven. I didn't say that a stocker should make the same thing as a dock supervisor but, a higher wage will keep that stocker around and happier for a while longer than being paid like a burger flipper. Just common sense. Thanks for the space, Emily.
You've got more Horseshiite coming out of your mouth, than caters got liver pills or Jim Beam's got whiskey. Other than that, I don't have anything else..
Respect to the blog but then insult others. A real class act.
You may not realize it but it is the black community that will suffer with this group of illegals as having access to low wage jobs and entitlements are just the tip of the iceberg.
