President Donald Trump has slammed President Joe Biden’s migration policies, saying they are pushing many Black Americans out of work.
“In fact, his greatest sacrifice to the black man was the millions [migrant] “Black people being allowed across the border are taking black jobs,” Trump said, adding:
[It] We have 18, 19, maybe 20 million people taking jobs from blacks and Hispanics. You haven’t seen it yet, but we’re on the brink of the worst thing that’s ever happened to us in our history.
In contrast, Biden appears to be arguing that the influx of more than 10 million legal and illegal immigrants has driven an economy with high inflation, low wages and low productivity.
All these situations [migrants] Foreigners are coming into the country and taking our jobs. There is a reason why our economy is the fastest growing in the world, there is a reason why our economy is successful.
Republicans portrayed Biden’s incomplete sentence as him arguing that his migration has inflated the nation’s economy.

Trump also sharply criticized Biden, saying his opening up to so many immigrant consumers and renters has worsened inflation.
He’s created this inflation, and it’s killing black families, Hispanic families, and just about everyone. It’s killing people. They can’t buy groceries anymore. If you look at the prices of groceries, they’ve doubled, tripled, quadrupled, and they can’t survive. They can’t survive anymore. He’s created this inflation.
I gave him a country with almost no inflation. It was perfect. It was so good. All he had to do was leave it alone. He destroyed it with another environmental scam and then all that money that was thrown out the window. As sure as you’re sitting there, he caused inflation.
Despite the evidence, Trump did not blame Biden’s migration for causing inflation, rising home prices and higher mortgage rates, nor did he blame Biden’s migration for lowering wages and pushing white Americans out of their jobs, wages and homes.
