In his acceptance speech for the Republican nomination for president, Donald Trump reiterated a point he mentioned in his debate with President Biden: mass immigration was hurting Black and Hispanic workers.

There are numerous case studies of industries using an increase in foreign workers to displace Black American workers. Here are just a few:

P.S. Secure our borders. Stop the influx of immigrants and refugees. Implement the Congressionally-mandated biometric entry/exit system. Evict those here illegally. End chain migration. End birthright citizenship. End the visa lottery. End amnesty. End asylum. End catch-and-release. Make E-Verify mandatory. And more! Illegal immigration is a weapon of mass destruction!
