Years ago whites were warned that they would soon be a minority in America. Thus they have taken steps and measures to mitigate this. Low white birth rates and increasing suicide rate mean whites are getting antsy and using any angle to increase their numbers while decreasing all non-blks.
Thus it's hard for me to trust whites when they say stand with us against immigration b/c it's hurting the blk community.
A meta-analysis of the effects of immigration on poorer communities especially blk communities revealed that it actually had little to no negative effect, while newer studies have found that immigration actually helps the economy and even black communities.
At first I called bullshyt b/c we are always touted this whole "resources" spin or as South Park calls it "THEY TURK UR JURBS!" So I'm like how can millions of refugees create jobs in our community?
Studies like these don't help and show correlations between immigration and decreased job opportunities and higher incarceration rates for low income blacks:

So I'm like...nope they gotta go.
But these studies themselves even said "The authors are careful to point out that even without increased immigration, most of the fall in employment and increase in jailed black men would have happened anyway."
Sooooo white people lying again.
Now newer studies have come out saying the exact opposite about the effects of immigration on the U.S. Economy and specifically within the blk community.
"Research
finds that as immigrants enter the labor market, African Americans respond to these changes in the workforce by moving up to higher-skilled—and presumably higher-paying—jobs. In fact, African Americans are three times more likely to transition to higher-skilled jobs as a result of immigration than non-African American workers." (Meaning blks are benefiting more than whites which explains why they pushing so hard against it.)

The Effects of Immigration on the United States’ Economy
"Census data on cities with greater immigration from Latin America shows that for every 1 percent increase in a city’s share of Latinos:
- African American median and mean wages increase by 3 percent.
- The city experiences a 1.6 percent increase in relatively well-off African Americans and fall in poor African-Americans.
- A 1.4 percent increase in employment rates Among African Americans.
- Across different age groups, the 1 percent increase in Latinos yields approximately 1.1 to 2.3 percent fewer African Americans in poverty in the same age group.
Ultimately, even controlling for other possible causes of economic growth in cities, the analysis found “very significant and robust” evidence that African Americans in cities with more Latino immigration “experience much higher wages, lower unemployment, and higher job creation.”
Why Immigration Helps African American Employment
I don't think we are being told everything and this is really about whites wanting to maintain a hold over being a demographic majority in this country. And I think that hurts us more than immigration does to be honest.
In light of this information, what do ya'll think?
