What are black jobs?

[Stevicus]

And here's the Oxford Dictionary's definition of that term: "a foreign national who is living without official authorization in a country of which they are not a citizen."
So maybe the Left likes to change our language to demonize people who speak facts, but the fact remains that these people from other countries that illegally cross the southern border to live here illegally are illegal aliens.

Well, yeah, it has been an official term for quite a long time, so there's no arguing that. However, that doesn't mean that some people don't like it.

Then they should enter the country the legal way.

So you have no problem with migrants who enter the immigration system according to the law. Great.

According to the immigration process to become legal U.S. citizens. Not the catch-and-release into this country process the border patrol is forced to use before realizing the people they just released are ISIS members or MS13 gang members with a free bus/plane ride to anywhere in our country.

I recently moved from Texas to Ohio. As you can imagine, Texas is full of immigrants, illegally and legally here. I mean, like Texas is a majority/minority state meaning that the biggest group (plain ol' white folks) makes up less than 50 percent of the population. I think there are only four or five states out of fifty that are like that. Anyway, Texas is full of immigrants and Ohio is not. And still, work gets done, fields get harvested, and my yard, which is actually larger than my other yard, went down to $40 a week vs the $69 a week I was spending in Texas. Just throwing that out there. Oh, and grocery costs and all that are the same. Health insurance is a lot higher and vehicle and home insurance is a lot lower. So it all evens out.

Oh, come on. He clearly meant "jobs held by black people". Basically it's how minorities are affected negatively by illegals, which is true.

Probably should have said "American" jobs but I mean it is generally true. Hispanic and Blacks hold a higher number of non-professional jobs.

Trump always off the cuff so probably not the polish of a coached professional politician.
An accurate statement if not PC.

Also consider that he was talking about the unemployment rate among blacks.

 

[Nakosis]

You're the ignorant one if you think there's an infinite amount of jobs and if you think people don't have to compete with each other for them.

And the rest of that is just the usual liberal justification for having "those people" as slave labor in subpar work conditions for illegal pay often times. Liberals are the biggest racists and elitists there are.

Unemployment is about the same as when Trump was in office. I suspect the only way to lower it was times we had the draft.

However are undocumented immigrants included in that stat?

NY seems to be feeling the additional burden of immigrants at the expense of American citizens in the need of financial assistance. So perhaps they are taking the financial assistance needed by American citizens? Well, no matter. I'm sure you don't mind more taxes needed to support them.

Maybe if Washington would adjust its budget to help out places like NY instead of funding wars in far off places.

I have a special mug that I use only for drinking green tea.
I call it my green tea cup.

I would drink green tea from my special green tea cup while watching my favourite show, The Power Falcons.

Also consider that he was talking about the unemployment rate among blacks.

Economic Report of the President, highlighted that the Black-White employment-population ratio gap, after accounting for factors like age, education, marital status, and geographic region, reached historic lows in 2023.

Also historically low. Seems good as it is showing a lack of any racism in the job market.

Doesn't seem like a good argument to claim they are taking anyone's jobs. The facts don't support it.

 

[Stevicus]

Then they should enter the country the legal way.

I agree, and there might be better ways that can be accomplished.

NY would like the right to allow many of these people to work in the state which would decrease the burden and the worker shortage in many industries.

It does seem a problem, allow these folks in but not having a means to support themselves. Perhaps we should control the borders until when get that fixed.

They get here, they have to get an asylum hearing and right now that can take months, that is an awful lot of the real bottleneck.

Doesn't seem to help anyone to come here trying to avoid the normal immigration process.

You can't request asylum from your home country, you have to be in the US, yeah sounds dumb doesn't it?

 

[Laniakea]

I'm sure there are, but having them pour in over the southern border hoping to not get caught, and then released into the country when they are isn't the way. If Trump gets back in the WH, that will change. People are tired of the way things are now.

 

[ImmortalFlame]

People often shorten terms when a context is understood. If people are discussing immigration, a person doesn't have to use the entire term, "illegal immigrant" or "illegal alien" each time. It's understood enough when they say either legal or illegal.

The question is why only for that specific group and not any other "illegal group". That's the point.

This what intrigues me, as a European looking in. Why do so many Americans dislike their country so much, they are prepared to burn it down?

Others are addressed as well in their proper time. In this context, it's illegals who illegally cross our border in numbers over 10 million that are being discussed.
