The Intended Consequences Of Enforcing Immigration Law: More Jobs For Americans

Well...Duh! This is not rocket surgery. Economics may be an inexact (pseudo) science, but this development is completely unsurprising.

African Americans Are Taking Back Jobs Stolen By Illegal Aliens

African Americans are taking back jobs that were stolen from them by illegal immigrants. In August, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers swept up 680 illegal immigrants during raids on seven food processing plants in Mississippi. Without the cheap labor, the companies were forced to hire Americans to do the work.

The best part of this is the monumental struggle to find something bad in increased employment for Black Americans. But rest assured, the NYT and the NAACP are on the job!

The president of the local NAACP compared the raids to slavery, proving once again the NAACP has become nothing more than an arm of the Democratic Party that stopped advancing the interests of African Americans a long time ago.

And...

The raids were believed to be the largest statewide immigration crackdown in recent history and a partial fulfillment of President Trump’s vow to remove millions of undocumented workers from the country. The impact on Mississippi’s immigrant community has been devastating. For nonimmigrant workers, the aftermath has forced them into a personal reckoning with questions of morality and economic self-interest: The raids brought suffering, but they also created job openings.

Amazing, isn't it! Their tortured manipulation of the vernacular carefully avoids the salient data; these people were in the country illegally, therefore they were employed illegally. This is not some ethical conundrum. This is the law. But "the law is a ass" when it conflicts with the NYT world view that the most important goal of the modern era is the subsuming of America in a sea of unwashed illegals, so finally..FINALLY...their progressive utopia can be achieved. And if that destroys their old and tired weapon of choice (Black America)? Then so be it.

13 Citizens are like members of a labor union. Illegal non-citizen workers are basically scabs. The national border is like a picket line. Those who cross the picket line are at risk -- fairly or not, that's just how union protections work. When the scab work force is reduced, the union workers reap the benefits.

Yeah, I get a kick out of pointing out the fact that the NAACP was founded by a bunch of pasty white people and Joos in 1910, along with WEB Du Bois as the token negro. Even worse is that they made WEB DB Minister of Information or some such euphemism for "designated loudmouth", because they weren't stupid enough to let that commie actually RUN the organization.

Not to mention the fact that the NAACP didn't have a black President until the mid-1970s.

The part that kills me is that frankly, black folk deserved better, but they got a bunch of cracker grifters as their major civil rights organization.

54 pep - oh, it's much worse than you fear.

Many of those un-a**ed from the food processing jobs were not deported, nor even placed on a fast track to it. Oh no. "Humanitarian" considerations - families, etc - led to lots of the usual nonsense.

And this kind of "raid" should be a *weekly* occurrrence, nothing unusual.

Better yet, as suggested here and elsewhere for years now, DHS/DOJ should convene meetings with the largest known systematic law-breaking enterprises and offer them a glide-path to legal operations [orderly removal of illegals/transition to legal labor/reasonable help with the human side of things including transportation to countries of nationality + nominal $$$ assistance purely as propaganda for our dumbed-down populace].

With the alternative being this kind of raid, WITH the full menu of civil and criminal penalties for the company perps.

But Trump is still securing his beach-head in much of the bureaucracy, far from doing "mopping up" operations. And Miller hasn't worked any miracles or anything close, and the Beltway GOP remains firmly [and triumphantly, for the most part] athwart Trump's agenda.

And the judicial side is a wasteland of pyrrhic "victories" that further degraded constitutional executive power and the very system, and further aggrandized lawless and pernicious judicial sabotage.

Border barrier kind of OK, bilateral stuff with MX and Central America finally getting much better [i.e. they were forced to cooperate on key items] but years later than should have been the case.

I used to sort of believe that although all these groups had a leftist bent, the organizations were first and foremost for their stated goal. Then all the feminist and womens groups came out against the rape victims and for the rapists, BJ Clinton. That was my eyeopener. At that time one could easily tell all of those groups were leftists first and what their group's stated goal a distant second.

That's another thing. Some of think the Democrat party is going off the cliff. You ignore the historical evidence that shows the Republicans following the Democrat party leftward over the decades.

The GOP is always being led and fooled by the "demographics" and figure it makes sense to follow the Democrats towards the left, but moderately.

Not only that, but have you ever seen even one thought piece about the troubling constitutionality of sanctuary cities being in open rebellion to the federal government? No, you have not. Not a peep from the DNC media.

Now, counties in VA are declaring themselves Sec Amendment sanctuaries from state gov gun grabbing. And right on cue, I'm being told that this is double plus ungood to not ascribe to the diktats of the elected government.

89 Dems' nominal electoral success is only part of the picture.

The GOP's indifference [i.e. support] towards mass illegal migration and all the civic social public safety and legal rot that accompanies it remains a constant [nearly unchanged in the Trump era].

The judicial usurpation and lawlessness continue and escalate - with only personnel changes [appointments] offering any hope of temporary, and far from certain, restoration of common sense and rule of law.

Most important of course, the electorate accepts it all. The economic boom makes it likely the electorate will become even lazier and more complacent about it all. Every bit of this is fixable via voting, but very unlikely any fixing in our near future.

Vic had a link this morning of TuCa holding forth about the state of the Republican party. It is becoming a Trump party, but way too slowly. Of the Republicans in office in the House when Trump took office, something like 43% are gone to retirement or electoral defeat.

***

The position most elected Republicans have long found themselves in when it comes to illegals is that the voters that elected them want strict enforcement, but the corporate sponsors that fund them do not, hence they talk a tough line but never actually do anything.

Part of what makes Trump different is that he has FU money and thus doesn't need the corporate donors.

People who refuse to actually be part of the system they supposedly want to reap the benefits of: real immigrants.

It is rhetorical kung-fu that takes advantage of the idea that immigration is vital and beneficial. It also allows them to say that only immigrants are being hurt by the enforcement of immigration controls. It's retarded, but people fall for it.

Is it only blacks who are taking these jobs? I'm uncomfortable with that. And I'm struggling to put into words why.
Posted by: creeper

I can put it into words why. In my experience with the younger crowd today, the "good" white youths (serious about education, have some drive) will ONLY do jobs where they can sit behind a screen and a keyboard 8 hours a day. The bad ones only want to deal and smoke pot or meth.

You can still find some anglo plumbers and electricians, but here in Texas I haven't seen an anglo general construction worker in about a decade now. Same goes for mechanics.

There is some concern about mass deportations resulting in a less vibrant community. Fewer examples of twenty people living in a single-bedroom house. Diminished crowds of men hanging out on public property drinking, urinating, gambling, and poking prostitutes in front of the world. A severe shortage of used diapers discarded in parking lots.

A dark time indeed, approaches.

196 African Americans have to vote for Democrats because:

1. They voted for Democrats in the past.
2. Republicans are evil.
3. The Democrats are the party of Abortion.
4. Something...something...civil rights.

Therefore, it is not necessary for the Democrats to do anything beneficial for the African Americans to maintain their vote.

The Democrats can, instead, concentrate on the Hispanic and Muslim illegal immigrant 'vote'.

African Americans? I am sorry but the Eighties called and they want their Democratic Voter Pandering back.

Starting next school year, it will be illegal for public schools in California to suspend students in first through fifth grade for willfully defying teachers or administrators.

Then, from 2021 through 2025, it will be temporarily extended to kids in grades six through eight.

258 81 The GOP is always being led and fooled by the "demographics" and figure it makes sense to follow the Democrats towards the left, but moderately.

I have never understood this argument. It's idiotic. Assuming that groups of people will vote the same way forever is just foolish. It is the same thinking which made the GOP throw up its hands and whine in despair initially in 2016, and drove HRC to not campaign in WI, MI and PA because "Oh well, they are blue states, and they will be that way forever, because once you vote blue, that's it." They were all shocked when the WI, MI and PA electoral votes all went to Trump.
