[QUOTE="tonyexpress, post: 3426058, member: 1940"] The fact that there are many Blacks, Hispanics and Whites in the working class that are affected by mass immigration legal or illegal doesn't change the fact that they are disproportionately hurt. Again, the facts are the facts and the working class is affected by this and it really doesn't matter what color you are.
