Attention Obozo: You're Fucked! Black Leaders Oppose Immigration
Bill
The African American Leadership Council asked the Congressional Black
Caucus to oppose the Senate Gang of Eight’s immigration bill at a
press conference
Wednesday morning.
The leaders called on the caucus to protect black workers by opposing
the 844-page bill, portions of which the coalition described as
amnesty.
The bill released last week would place 11 to 12 million illegal
immigrants on a path to citizenship.
Speakers at the press conference cited the disparate impact of
legalization on low-skilled workers, particularly black workers. They
stressed the economic security
issues involved in granting illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
The council questioned whether there are enough low-skill jobs for
both African Americans and immigrants. One member said increased
immigration levels would
keep black unemployment, which is already nearly double the national
average, elevated for some time.
“With unemployment at 7.6 percent, this is preposterous,” coalition
member Charles Butler said. “What makes sense is for America’s jobs to
be reserved for people
who are legally entitled to compete for them.”
The coalition slammed establishment black leaders in the press
conference, saying they do not represent the African-American
community on this issue.
They said they also feel betrayed by the NAACP and big labor, both of
which have backed amnesty proposals.
“Elite leadership is not the same as the black grassroots,” said Frank
Morris, former executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus
Foundation. He said the
immigration issue is often the most divisive between elite black
leaders and regular members of the black community.
The press conference comes on the heels of a letter sent earlier this
month to Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Marcia Fudge (D., Ohio)
by three members of
the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights asking the caucus to consider the
damaging effects of the bill on the black community.
“Grant of legal status will likely disproportionately harm lower-
skilled African-Americans by making it more difficult for them to
obtain employment and depressing
their wages when they do obtain employment,” the members wrote.
