Rep. Mo Brooks: Immigration amnesty program would undermine job market for African-Americans

http://blog.al.com/breaking/2013/05/rep_mo_brooks_immigration_amne.html#incart_river_default

U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks introduced a new element today in his opposition to the proposed amnesty program as part of immigration reform.

Speaking on the floor of the House of Representatives, Brooks, R-Huntsville, said providing a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens "undermines millions of African-American workers' incomes and job searches by flooding the American market with cheap labor."

Because everybody knows that African Americans can only get low paying jobs.

How very kindly of the Rep. to be so concerned about the African-American workers..better late than never, perhaps?
