Nuremberg Laws were inspired by Jim Crow. Nazi Pow in Texas were shocked how Blacks were treated. Roosevelt also refused to meet Jesse Owens after he won gold medal yet he was met by Hitler.

Yes, there's lots of construction work right now, but you don't get the point. If you want a stable income, if you raising a family, they you can't just go without work for 3-4 years at a time.
Look at that lull. There were damn near 2 million new homes a year for four years followed by an two-year collapse and then just 500k new homes for three years, and then it was 3-4 more years where the "recovery" didn't breach 1 million homes. That means for whoever was working in new home construction from 2003-2007, a full 3/4 of them had to find some other work from 2008-2014. What kind of career is that?
My uncle was in construction and he was older so he'd done well in his career and piled up a nest egg, but he still went WAY into debt during the lull. And he can do all sorts of shyt, he can work on any job but he was scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to find work. He was talking about guys he knew leaving the field and he said he would have left himself if he was younger. This ain't the 90s anymore.
That's why you see so much migrant labor in construction. When the workload fluctuates by a factor of 400% depending on the year, you're not going to be able to fill permanent jobs for most of your crew.
There's no such thing as "impartial" sources. What you can do, at least, is remove sources which have giant, determinative biases that have nothing to do with the issue at hand. I don't believe racist organizations when they present information on race. Full stop. It's over before it's started.
So far as neoliberals, I hate their agenda. That's well demonstrated.

But it's ridiculous to equate immigration with neoliberalism. Large-scale human migration has been a given for the entirety of human history and especially the entirety of American history. The ONLY periods of American history that didn't have large-scale immigration have been when openly racist White people specifically worked to block immigrants. The rest of the time it's been the norm. Neoliberals have only been around for a few decades and the primary tenants of their platform have nothing to do with whether people immigrate or not - immigration could slow to absolutely 0 and the neoliberal agenda would still hum along smoothly.
And so far as studies go, the general consensus among economists is that low-skilled immigrants improve the economy and state of the average native worker (see some studies here and here and here and here and here and here). But since those gains possibly could all be among middle-class and mostly white people, I linked studies that specifically look at the effect of immigration on people in poverty and those with the lowest wages:
This study finds that immigration does not effect poverty overall and might only have a small local effect in only the most extreme circumstances.
The Impact of Immigration on Native Poverty through Labor Market Competition
This study finds that immigration can very slightly increase the poverty rate (about 1% increase) among households headed by someone without a high school education, and has no increase in poverty for households headed by someone with a high school education or better. It found that looking at race/ethnicity doesn't change those numbers.

Also looking at race and lack of educational achievement together, it found that in the most extreme versions of the model, there might be at most a 2% difference in the poverty rate among Black households headed by someone with no high school diploma, and no effect for all other Black households

The paper later notes that this effect is negligible because the number of households that have no one with a high school diploma is quite small.

I would suggest a much more practical response, if we actually care about such households, would be to work to ensure that all Black Americans can get a high-school education and thus no longer are in competition with illegal immigrants rather than trying to fight immigration when it barely helps such families and half of them will remain in poverty regardless of the immigration rate.
This one looked at a large range of studies but primarily focused on Europe, found either negligible effects (effectively zero) or sometimes small (about 1%) on wages.

Another study looking at the entire range of methods of calculating the impact of immigrants found that the consensus is clear that immigrants create more new jobs than they take:

There's a lot more that could be said of other economic effects of immigration, the wiki page gives a brief summary with links to 70+ studies:
Economic results of migration - Wikipedia
The big dissenter in the field is George Borjas, who is a legit researcher but who also is quite conservative politically and publishes for CIS, he believes that immigration has a larger effect on native workers, that a 10 percentage point increase in the proportion of immigrants in the labor supply could depress wages 3-4%. Note that even that effect is relatively small - you're talking about someone going from earning $9.50/hour to earning $9.22 an hour. While that isn't their preference, that's also not driving anyone into poverty as it would only cost a full-time worker about $45/month and that would be at least partially offset by lower tax hit and higher Earned Income Tax Credit. So in the extreme case, the anti-income researchers are talking about the net income of poor native workers getting depressed by $20-25 a month. And most researchers show no such drop at all.
However, a meta-study of 344 economic impact studies by some pro-Borjas researchers who adopt his methodology found that he had likely over estimated the impact, and that the same 10 percentage point increase in the proportion of immigrants in the labor supply would in fact only depress wages by 1.2%. In other words, that hypothetical $9.50/hour worker would now only drop to $9.39 even if the proportion of immigrants in his field jumped all the way up from, say, 10% up to 20%. That same meta-study also found that negative effects in the USA are smaller than negative effects in Europe, likely because we have a larger, more elastic economy with more natural room for growth.

You mean like Crispy Sotomayor running around in a MAGA hat telling cacs to shoot black children or David Clarke shytting on victims of police brutality on Fox news?
These guys have thousands of people watching them but y’all are pressed about some hypothetical African on Twitter?
Lmfao all of their evidence of this “war” against them is posting random twitter posts of nobodies yet nobody is tossing in them in the bushes when their own people like sheriff clarke is on white media belittling his own ethnic group.

Jesse Owens never said he met Hitler.
Some German reporter in the 1990s claimed that Jesse Owens had met Hitler, even though that goes against all reports at the time. His own family states clearly that Owens never met Hitler and NO ONE at the scene saw it happen even though Hitler's every move was watched. It is clear historic record that they never met.
I'm convinced that that's a white troll. I vaguely remember him being put on that white troll list that's somehow vanished from existence.

That's why you see so much migrant labor in construction. When the workload fluctuates by a factor of 400% depending on the year, you're not going to be able to fill permanent jobs for most of your crew.
As I said, construction in NYC had a slight lull and was right back on. You can't tell me what's going on in my own city, same way you told somebody upthread they can't tell you about Cali.
I find that both of the 'neos' like to bomb and force people from their homes. As of late, they also seem to want those people to immigrate to 1st world nations bc they both require cheap labor, and many immigrants are complicit in this agenda.
Nice to know you're not a neo liberal. I'm not pro- Trump, so we were both mistaken.
Where you at? From? That might explain why I'm so willing to accede to certain Republican talking points.
