[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all those who believed that black people would migrate to Trump, I can tell you that his "black jobs" line has not been taken lightly. If there was ever one thing that has pissed black folks off, it was that line.

I'm black and I'm shocked at how pissed off folks are - especially black males.[/quote]

The black population statistically has lower socioeconomic standing. This is not a moral judgment. If you believe it’s racist and bad to speak accurately about reality and the world around us, well, luckily there’s a political party for you[/quote]

There's a huge difference between what you said and what he said.

You've said that blacks and Hispanics are disadvantaged and earn less.  Trump essentially said that "black jobs" are the jobs that are being taken by illegal immigrants.  So, essentially that jobs for black people are low income, hourly jobs, frequently requiring no education or no training, that any physical body can come in and do.  Jobs like farm labor, house cleaning, day labor jobs, sweat shop factory jobs (like crab picking on the Chesapeake).  He's said that jobs that are traditionally black are the bottom of the barrel jobs.

Illegal immigrants are not coming in to take jobs that require degrees, work in offices or require training and knowledge.  Those are the jobs that many blacks are making advances in acquiring, but those are not the jobs that are being threatened by illegal immigrants.  The jobs that blacks aspire to, are apparently not "black jobs".  The jobs that illegal immigrants qualify for, are apparently "black jobs".

If you can't see the difference between what he said and what you said, then you are a lost cause.[/quote]

Very weird take of. We have 100,000 of Russians crossed the border since the war began, hundreds of thousands of Chinese. Most of them are college educated and fluent in English. They are taking office jobs. Your assumption that blacks only work at the farms  is racist. [/quote]

Aha, now the Russian trolls are coming out.

You're injecting a red herring.  Trump's comment in the debate was about illegal immigrants coming to take black jobs.  Highly educated and college educated Russians and Chinese are very rarely illegal immigrants crossing the boarder.  They are typically immigrants that come to the US on different types of Visas and either violate their Visas, overstay their Visas.  Visa violaters are far easier to track, detain and deport.  There are very few Asians that are traveling to Central American and crossing the desert to enter the US.

Additionally the companies that are higher office workers are held much more accountable for hiring illegal aliens without verifying their employment eligibility.  It is far easier to find a office work violations.  Just the filing of taxes and FICA go in and if the employee does not have a valid Social Security number, it gets flagged.  It is far harder to find people who work intermittently, who travel around from job-to-job (like itinerant farm hands), who frequently get paid under the table and in cash, and where there is significantly less employment documentation.

Stop with the stupid red herring diversions.[/quote]
