President Donald Trump is aiming to win votes from black men by highlighting the economic damage caused by Vice President Kamala Harris' immigration policies.
“Kamala's support is crumbling among black voters,” he tweeted Wednesday, adding:
Inflation is hell. To make matters worse, their cities are being used as illegal dumping grounds for foreigners. If Kamala is given four more years, the black community will lose its political power forever. Because most of the neighbors in black communities will be immigrants.
This pitch, which combines economics and politics, comes from Michigan, where black voters have seen Democratic politicians lavishing attention, funding, housing and opportunity on Mr. Biden's massive influx of Latino immigrants. It is likely targeting voters in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Unsurprisingly, one survey report found that 53% of blacks want “all” illegal immigrants to be deported. Public opinion polls from September to October Of the 179 black people Marist posted on National Public Radio. The 53% includes 24% who “strongly” agree. Only 17% strongly disagreed.
The same poll found that only 72% of blacks had a “favorable impression” of Harris. 19% said they had a favorable view of Trump, while 9% said they were “unsure.”
Economic and political pitches appear to be most appealing to young black men. For example, Mr. Trump has received support from the following countries: 20 percent of black people aged 18 to 49according to a Pew poll released Oct. 10.
Even if Trump's pitch on immigration fails to win votes, Harris is expected to import nearly 4 million immigrants in 2025, according to an October Brookings Institution poll. may go down.

In recent months, President Trump has cited the economic benefits of immigration to attract Black Americans.
“The fact of the matter is that his mass murder of black people meant the murder of millions of people. [migrant] President Trump said this in June 2024, saying that the people who are allowed to enter the country through the border are now taking jobs from black people.
[It] It could be 18 years old, it could be 19 years old, it could be 20 million people taking jobs from black people, taking jobs from Hispanics. And you haven't seen it yet, but you're going to see what will be the worst thing in our history.
There are many academic studies and many public opinion polls showing that the wave of immigration since 1970 has hurt Americans at the bottom of the economic chain, especially black Americans. The resulting blue-collar opposition is particularly pronounced in cities such as Chicago, where local Democratic leaders heavily subsidize the influx of immigrants, many of whom work for low wages. and is grateful for Latino leadership in the Democratic Party.
Evidence of harm includes comments from Harris' father, Donald J. Harris, a Jamaican-born immigrant. 1988 report The left-wing Joint Center for Political Research said:
Therefore, the key to a stronger, more competitive U.S. economy and an improved economic position for Black people are policies and programs that increase the productivity of Black workers…
However, current immigration policies, which allow relatively large numbers of low-skilled workers to enter the United States, should be complemented by a set of policies that reduce the burden this immigration places on low-skilled, native-born workers. be.
At the same time that international trade trends turned against American workers, U.S. immigration laws were modified in the following ways: Increase influx of low-skilled workersThey compete for low-skill jobs with home-grown youth and low-skill adult workers… This change poses a particularly serious problem for black people.make up a high proportion of low-skilled adult workers. [emphasis added].
Since 1988, the federal government has dramatically expanded the influx of legal and illegal immigrants, and the Joint Center Progressive support for reducing wages for illegal immigrants. The aid also supports extractive migration, a bipartisan economic strategy to swell America's consumer economy with foreign workers, consumers, and renters.
