Comments on: The Immigration Bill & Its Threat to White Collar Workers http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2007/05/the-immigration-bill-its-threat-to-white-collar-workers/ A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:25:44 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Anonymous http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2007/05/the-immigration-bill-its-threat-to-white-collar-workers/comment-page-1/#comment-661 Anonymous Fri, 01 Jun 2007 15:02:00 +0000 http://s45368.gridserver.com/?p=319#comment-661 It is just really sad when black folks throw their hats in the ring with racist nativists. First of all there is no clear data that immigration has hurt wages or unemployment for blacks. Second, if it has the problem is discrimination by WHITE employers AND a lack of unionization and human rights. Fewer human rights for immigrants means they are more exploitable.<br/><br/>Further, shame on you for playing the national security, terrorist card. This is the same kind of fear mongering the Bush administration uses. Black folk are smarter than that, don't fall for it. We need to stand on moral grounds and support "human rights". Not rights for people we like or those who are on one side of some imaginary border created by the white man.
