Huey: People are still talking about how Vicente Fox said Mexican immigrants take the jobs in the U.S. that not even blacks want to take. Granddad: Ha! Ha! Ha! He ain't never lied! Wait a minute!
Well, Huey’s right. That’s why especially here in NYC, you’d be lucky to find ONE Black person driving a taxi! And in many Black neighborhoods you won’t find ANY mini grocery stores owned by Black people! It’s always people from Yemen, Pakistan and Afghanistan! And it’s crazy because not only can we NOT understand a word they’re saying, but we have to listen to their music! That’s why years ago I asked a Black Muslim security guard to teach me a few words in Arabic. He not only did that but wrote out the whole alphabet for me.
Hell they take jobs that White, Asian, and even American born Hispanics won’t even voluntarily do. So yeah immigrants, legal and illegal, have always played a big role in American economy.
