American Citizens Are Relegated to the Back of the Line for Jobs

American Citizens Are Relegated to the Back of the Line for Jobs

When it comes to President Barack Obama, I have always maintained his race has never been a factor in the rejection of his policies.

The color of one’s skin shouldn’t matter in this country.

Yet, as our first black president, it appears he has turned his back on America’s black labor force.

Inevitably, the solution in the past was to grant amnesty, even if it wasn’t called that.

Today, the president calls for immigration reform, but what he really is advocating is amnesty for the 11 million undocumented workers in this country who are largely ...
