  1. Immigrants are taking a lot of black jobs. They're hungry and want to work. It's survival of the fittest. They had to move here and are going to make a better life here at the cost of some other people that won't can't compete.

  2. If you look at this really closely it's all about the vision let's divide everybody and keep everybody fighting against everybody else you know all the migrants this and they're taking black jobs and all the rest of it and let's make America great again when was it great for black people I just want to know that because at one time your life wasn't even worth the soul on your shoe if you were black and look at it today line of five black people on the corner and I guarantee the cops will be there to do their job which is to find out why these black folks are out looking for a job

  3. If the Convention had been a convention for Chinese. Then it would have been correct to say, That illegal immigrants are Taking Chinese jobs. Likewise, if it had been a convention of Martian aliens, then they would be usurping Martian jobs. You need to be too self-conscious and Extremely complex . To Take this personally Or worse yet With a racial connotation. But of course. It's Trump, and we have to shoot him down. Very good… So, vote again for Biden OR for Harris, Totally Bad. They have already managed to plunge the world into a debacle. Have they already given wings to the tyrants of the world. So that they can do whatever they want. But now, when Trump comes. They will have to tighten their pants. Or, we explode The World. Let's see who's left? May only the strongest survive… While so many Black Americans… Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, no one but ourselves can free our minds. Bob Marley said it.. Att El Tiguere Que Se Comio La Flor .

  4. I am black and I get him. It is all about this social construct that blacks do jobs that require no expertise. It is not Trumps fault but the fault of the media that brainwashes the citizens. That is why some Caucasians and Arabs still view blacks as inferior. Ignorance is bliss. Do not judge a person by their skin colour. This is just a slip and is no where near the rubbish from the other side. Now Kamala is claiming black ancestry. It comes in handy when you need to use the black people, or claim Indian ancestry when you need to use the Indians. Politics is a dirty game. However, in the last year we have gone deeper than ever into the swamps. When it comes to protecting our kids, we will lay down our lives. Saying black jobs does not hurt me one bit. However, indoctrinating my kids will bring out the "Lion" in me. Trump 2024 all the way.

  5. The way I understood it is that White Americans are wealthier than Black Americans. That’s another story (I’m a proponent of systemic racism being a reality). Black Americans, statistically speaking, are less educated than White Americans. So, who are the ones left with the low income jobs. The Black Americans are. Immigrant are taking low income jobs away from Black people.

  6. A lower percentage of black people have attained higher education than lets say white people…thats a fact. Black jobs simply means that in poor black communities its more likely the workforce will be blue collar…which means illegal immigrants who do blue collar labor for pennies will most definitely take black jobs.

  7. The serial liar Donald Trump ridicously overstates the number of immigrants to maybe 20 million.
    The real number of – not immigrants, but encounters at the border is at about 10 million, and a large proportion of those are "repeats", people who try to get through the borders, caught and expelled, then try again, thus counting one person as two, three, four …

  8. "Effects of Immigration on African-American Employment and Incarceration" – May 1, 2007.

    The 1980-2000 immigrant influx, therefore, generally 'explains' about 20 to 60 percent of the decline in wages, 25 percent of the decline in employment, and about 10 percent of the rise in incarceration rates among blacks with a high school education or less"

  9. So, a black job is ANYBODY THAT HAS A JOB. Trump is saying a job is (any person with a job)? A black job is a person? with a job? Not the job itself? What????How can, an immigrant, take away a person with a job? This is so weird.

  10. “Black jobs” are the same ones that other groups have. The difference is that black people are tied with native Americans with the lowest median household income at $52,800/yr (Statista, 2022). By comparison, hispanics were $10k/yr higher. Whites came in at $81,000 and Asians the highest at $108,700/yr. So there is an element of truth that ILLEGALS coming from 180 countries could very well “take jobs” from blacks and native Americans depending on job requirements, skills held by illegals, and employers looking the other way. Trump is simply providing an inconvenient truth of possibility. Of course they’re not going to take the jobs of black neurosurgeons, lawyers, CEO’s, and high paid athletes! The lowest rung on the job ladder is always most vulnerable.
