Am. Blacks/Hispanics Opposed to Amnesty Bill Speak Out
American Blacks and Hispanics Opposed to Bush-Kennedy Amnesty Bill Speak Out
Washington DC Joint Press Conference Will Detail Impact in Communities Most
Affected
WASHINGTON, June 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Those hit hardest by the
effects of massive illegal immigration, particularly in major urban areas,
are often American black and Hispanic citizens. Their voices are being
muted in the current Senate debate by powerful business influences
demanding cheap foreign labor and special interests representing illegal
aliens.
The two leading black and Hispanic advocacy organizations for
immigration reform will hold a joint news conference in Washington, D.C.,
on Tuesday June 19, to put a human face on the victims of illegal
immigration and the proposed amnesty. "More often than not, the faces of
those most directly harmed by mass illegal immigration are brown or black,"
stated retired Col. Al Rodriguez, chairman of You Don't Speak for Me, a
coalition of American Hispanics opposed to the illegal alien amnesty.
"Millions of hard-working American Hispanics are victimized by illegal
immigration when resources are diverted from their children's education to
make room for the children of illegal aliens, and every time they look for
work only to find that the job has gone to an illegal alien."
"For centuries, American blacks struggled first for emancipation and
then for their full rights and opportunities as citizens," stated Ted
Hayes, chairmen of Choose Black America, the leading black organization
fighting against amnesty. "Illegal immigration and the proposed amnesty
threaten to undo that struggle in the space of one generation. Before
George Bush and a handful of legislators in Washington sign away our
children's future, we demand a seat at the table to have our voices heard."
