Illegal immigration hurts African Americans

I was on my way to a meeting on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley when a man hawking the Workers Vanguard newspaper stopped me. For those of you who do not live in Berkeley, California or Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Workers Vanguard is a socialist newspaper. The headline screamed, “Open Admissions!” In other words, the paper was demanding that the prestigious University of California at Berkeley let everybody in.
I tried to reason with the man selling the newspaper─I know, I was young and naïve─that, even in the Soviet Union, universities did not have open admissions policies. The elite schools were for the best students; most people probably could not go to university at all. The man denounced me as an enemy of the worker, so I turned around and proceeded to the meeting.
So goes our immigration debate, with thousands of Central American children and other illegal immigrants appearing at our southwestern doorstep, and Democratic presidents pulling billions from their top hats to pay for transporting these uninvited arrivals to their families already residing in the United States. These migrants are not even pretending to be asylum-seekers.
The violence the children are fleeing in Central America is not our problem. It was our problem in the 1980s, but Americans overwhelmingly have decided that it isn’t our problem now.
