Black Political Zone

I have always believed that the argument that illegal immigrants take jobs that Americans don't want does not bode well for American working-class people and African Americans. Note that the "Americans" in this sentence implicitly refers to the most disadvantaged who we would expect to take those jobs. First, there is no evidence for the claim that blacks and working-class people don't want certain jobs. Second, it fosters the belief that poor whites or African Americans (because they are disproportionately economically disadvantaged compared to whites) are not hardworking and are picky about their jobs. Third, it enables immigrant workers to be exploited economically. Two African American talkshow hosts were on CNN recently discussing the topic.
