How the DREAM act screws African Americans

The DREAM act will screw African Americans if passed into law.  Actually the DREAM act will screw a lot of people, but African Americans might be hit the hardest. 

You might be asking, 'African Americans?  I thought the DREAM act was an amnesty bill!' 

The DREAM act is foremost an amnesty bill.  It essentially allows illegals to live in America with no threat of expulsion.  Down the line these folks will get a chance to become legal citizens, provided they graduate high school, keep a clean criminal record, and intend to attend college.  Any children they have will be born legal U.S. citizens. 

This week Education Secretary Arne Duncan said, “This could be a piece of a solution to a number of the challenges our country faces.”  He went on to explain that... 'the hundreds of thousands of people who could benefit from the act would contribute to the economy.... Because they would be getting better jobs, they’d be paying more taxes, starting businesses and creating jobs, all of which would infuse a much-needed kick-start to the economy and help drive down the national debt.'

First of all, how does it help the economy to import workers when we already have 9.1% unemployment (and an upward trend at that!)?  http://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=z1ebjpgk2654c1_&met_y=unemployment_rate&tdim=true&dl=en&hl=en&q=unemployment

The largest unemployed demographic in America is a 19 year old African American high school dropout who'd work an unskilled labor job.  http://www.businessinsider.com/most-unemployed-person-in-america-2010-12

Who do you think is working those jobs currently?  I'd hazard a guess that people willing to work for less than minimum wage are working unskilled labor jobs.  Illegals are working those unskilled labor jobs.  The DREAM act proposes to make all of those people legal (keeping the jobs squarely out of reach for African American youth).  That doesn't seem like it's going to help the African American community very much.  Keep in mind that African Americans voted in record numbers to elect Obama (19 of 20 African Americans voting in the last presidential race voted for Obama).  Why would he sell them out like this?

I can only think that adding 20 million (presumed) Democrat votes is more important than the votes that got him into the Presidency.  Obama reminds me of that guy Russell Hantz from Survivor.  He runs around promising an alliance to everyone that will listen.  Then as the show goes on he severs these alliances at will once they've taken him as far as they can go.  Sorry African Americans, guess you're voted off the island.
