It has long been of concern to me the growing numbers of illegal aliens in the streets of my home town. At first, I took very little notice at the number of men gathering daily on the corners of East Oakland. Being a life long democrat and involved for years in social work related to poverty, crime prevention, and the uplifting of my city it was not strange to me to witness people seeking day labor jobs. But now, I’ve noticed a sencondary trend that is having a more direct effect on myself and those close to me in the African American community. There is a lot of construction going on; public works projects, highway and street reconstruction, and numerous other building activities. Almost to the man these jobs are filled by what I suspect to be illegal aliens. No Whites, No Blacks, No Asians. This is not my view of what America is. One race dominating and benefiting from an entire field of employment. I often wonder as I drive through my streets “How many Black men can’t get a job due to this over population of illegal immigrants? How many Black many who are already Americans cannot feed their families, buy homes, get loans, establish credit, etc. because the banking institutions are favoring this exploding populous of illegal immigrants. http://ccollins1.wordpress.com/2007/12/ ... resources/
