Combating illegal immigration is a much needed measure that will specifically help people of color. Minorities, especially African Americans, have been disproportionately afflicted by illegal immigration. U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner Peter Kirsanow testified that low skilled illegal immigrants have a tendency to decrease the wages of jobs that would otherwise be granted to black Americans. Why should employers pay $7.00/hr to a black person when they can pay an illegal immigrant $3.25/hr under the table? In addition to stealing jobs, illegal immigrants are also three times more likely to be convicted for murder and those who crossed the Mexican border contribute to an influx of gang violence. Illegal immigration is a cancer to America and must be halted immediately. Jobs, lives, and liberty are at stake; those who wish to emigrate to this nation must follow America’s laws and customs.
In addition to lowering taxes and halting illegal immigration, President Trump’s alliance with the National Rifle Association and support for the second amendment should serve as refreshing, especially in light of former President Obama’s aversion to guns. Those who study history will remember that gun control was originally implemented to oppress blacks and Hispanics. As a matter of fact, the First North American English colonies feared that armed black people would revolt against tyrannical slave owners. Isn’t it ironic that Democrats, who claim to be the champions for people of color, would align themselves with gun control when it is rooted in indisputable racism and bigotry?
