Sacrifice black livelihood, cities, culture and lives for Mexicans, brehs. Believe liberal and Latino bullshyt that has no basis in facts or reality, brehs. Ignore basic economic laws of supply and demand, brehs. Ignore science when it disagrees with your views, brehs. Act a benighted ignorant child:
    • A joint paper by professors at the University of California, University of Chicago and Harvard for the National Bureau of Economic Research concluded that immigration has measurably lowered black wages. One author, Dr. Gordon H. Hanson of UC San Diego, said, "Our study suggests that a 10 percent immigrant-induced increase in the supply of a skill group is associated with a reduction in the black wage of 4.0 percent, a reduction in the black employment rate of 3.5 percentage points, and an increase in the black institutionalization [incarceration] rate of 0.8 percentage points."10

  • Dr. Hanson also testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights that, "The economic adjustments unleashed by the large 1980–2000 immigrant influx, a labor supply shock that increased the number of workers in the United States by nearly 10 percent and the number of high school dropouts by over 20 percent, reduced the employment rate of low-skill black men by about eight percentage points. Immigration, therefore, accounts for about 40 percent of the 18 percentage point decline in black employment rates. Similarly, the changes in economic opportunities caused by the 1980–2000 immigrant influx raised the incarceration rate of black high school dropouts by 1.7 percentage points, accounting for about 10 percent of the 20 percentage point increase observed during that period."11

  • Dr. Harry J. Holzer of Georgetown University and the Urban Institute has addressed evidence from two studies showing that employers may have a preference for hiring immigrants over black citizens, noting the studies show "that employers perceive stronger work ethic among the immigrants, and a greater willingness to tolerate low wages... Some of these perceptions and the hiring behavior they generate might well reflect discrimination, especially against black men whom employers generally fear…"15

  • Vernon M. Briggs, Jr., professor emeritus in labor economics at Cornell, has noted that both illegal immigrant and black workers tend to "cluster in metropolitan areas," thus increasing the likelihood that they will compete for the same jobs. Dr. Briggs adds, "there is little doubt that there is significant overlap in competition for jobs in this sector of the labor market. Given the inordinately high unemployment rates for low-skilled black workers (the highest for all racial and ethnic groups for whom data is collected), it is obvious that the major loser in this competition are low-skilled black workers. This is not surprising, since if employers have an opportunity to hire illegal immigrant workers, they will always give them preference over legal workers of any race or ethnic background..."

That's really evident in my old hometown in Miami, it's been going downhill since Hurricane Andrew.

Argue against the obvious in your own city and put on an ignorant c00n cape for Latinos, brehs. Use conjecture, propaganda, anecdotes and fallacy to argue a conclusion that is and was always wrong, brehs.

It would improve until someone found a "justifiable" way to make life a complete living hell

This is a "reductio" fallacy whereupon you basically say, "We're all fukked anyway". That isn't true. There are better and worse places for blacks. Everything else equal, illegal immigrants have an outsized negative effect on blacks' unemployment, health, safety and incarceration rate. Illegal immigration only works if the immigrants are black (presumably).

What about afro latinos?

Most Latinos in the USA are not Afro Latinos. I don't have any data on them so I'll refrain from commenting on them until I do. Most Latinos in the USA are Mexican descent, then maybe Cuban, DR and PR, so we're informally talking about these groups when we consider the statistics and conclusions therein.

Yup, there's a Miami black poster that said he moved to Alabama because he couldn't find a job. Are the illegal immigrants in Miami of Cuban descent?
