OK< I admit, I work in a job without many blacks, Motorsports) and have few black friends, although I really like and respect the blacks. My best friend in college was a black. SO I have no one to ask this of, and I am hoping some of you out there may be able to tell me.

I have read that the illegals are depressing wages, and making it harder for the black person to compete with them on jobs. Black men and women both have to make a living here, and having to go up against someone who has a "great work ethic" and who will also work for less than minimum wage seems to be a losing deal for the black person.

Also, with blacks demending better schooling, and their already facing uphill battles with schooling scores, seems they would realize the illegals are taking away from the black education.

in the health care field, many blacks depend on assistance. With the illegals, there is only so much $$ to go around, and having to share that with illegals mean a smaller part of the pie.

wiith that said, why isn't Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton coming out demanding a change, demanding border protection? I know they are both really out for themselves, but if they can march/protest/etc. a flag in S.C., shouldn't they have a say about this? This seems more affective to the black population than a flag. Also, they seem to love to Bush bash, why are they missing this golden opportunity?

Just wondering. Hope to hear from some black friends out there.
