Former President Donald Trump has been attacked for saying the phrase “black jobs” as people in the media and the Democrat Party pretended to not know what he was talking about.

The phrase “What is a black job?” was said often and even Olympian Simone Biles got in on the act when she posted on X “I love my black job.”

But what the former president was talking about was illegal aliens damaging the black community by taking jobs from them.

During an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists the former president said that migrants were “coming from the border are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking black jobs.”

And the data proves that he is correct, The Daily Caller reported.

“During the First World War there was a halt to immigration, and all of a sudden, factories in the North could not get enough people to work, so where did they go for their labor supply? Black Americans.” Historically Black Colleges and Universities engagement director at NumbersUSA, Andre Barnes, said to the DCNF. “We had the 1924 Immigration Act, and it reduced immigration from 700,000 to less than 200,000 per year, and the level stayed at less than 200,000 per year for over forty years. And what did we see during that time period? You saw an increase in black employment. We saw an increase in black economic power.”

“When we’re talking about black jobs, we’re talking about these situations here,” he said. “We’re talking about the meat packing jobs that are disappearing between the 90s and the early 2010s that went from majority black to majority Hispanic. That’s what people need to talk about when they’re talking about black jobs.”

Black workers represent a substantial portion of the low skill job sector and that is where migrants are encroaching.

“When President Trump says illegals are taking away black jobs, I don’t see any [other] way to interpret that than they are competing with black Americans who have those jobs,” E.J. Antoni, a research fellow at the Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget at the Heritage Foundation, said to the DCNF. “And because of the increased competition, they are losing those jobs. A disproportionate amount of black people have unskilled jobs, it has nothing to do with skin color.”
