Well, let's see. In 1991, Coretta Scott King and other black leaders argued that illegals would have a devastating effect on the black community and that blacks and Hispanics needed education and training programs. In December, 2009, the Congressional Black Caucus wrote to 'Bama, asking that surplus T.A.R.P. funds be diverted to education, job training, and community-based jobs. Too bad that absolutely nobody in washington appears to be listening to these completely reasonable proposals for preparing the poorest Americans to lift themselves up by their bootstraps.

IMO it's unconscionable that we permit Americans of all colors to be undercut by illegals of all colors.
