A 2010 report by the U.S. Civil Rights Commission highlighted the negative impact of mass immigration, particularly illegal immigration, on black American communities.
The report revealed that illegal immigration tends to depress wages and employment rates for low-skilled American citizens, especially black men, who are disproportionately employed in low-skilled labor markets.
It also emphasized the growing wealth gap between black and white Americans, coinciding with the influx of illegal aliens and legal immigrants. (Trending: 2024 Miss America Winner Crowned)

According to the Brookings Institute, “From 1989 to 2022, the Black-white median wealth gap has averaged $172,000, and rarely dropped below 10% of this.”
“However, between 2019 and 2022, the gap breeched 10% of the average—signaling an increase in disparity not seen since 2007, when the gap reached $214,970. The growing disparity means that in 2022, for every $100 in wealth held by white households, Black households held only $15,” the report continued.
Vernon Briggs Jr., former professor emeritus of labor economics at Cornell University, said that “no issue has negatively ‘affected the economic well-being of African Americans more’ than immigration.”
Georgetown University professor and economist Harry Holzer, said, “because of a perceived superior work ethic and tolerance for low wages, and use ethnic networks to recruit.”
According to the report, “Dr. Holzer … indicates that employers filling low-wage jobs that require little reading/writing or communication, clearly prefer immigrants to native-born blacks, and encourage informal networks through which immigrants gain better access to these jobs.”
The report recommended collecting data on illegal aliens’ impact on the labor market and imposing higher costs on employers who hire illegal aliens.
