I agree we need better representation in the Black American Communitry. It is sad that black politician refuse to fight against massive immigration due to the fact it continues to have negative affect on their constituents. For example, unemployment is a serious problem in the black community and yet Rep. Fredricka Wilson continues to lobby for temporary protective status for haitian. This do not make sinse because this means her constituents (Black Americans) now have to compete with cheap unskilled immigrants during scace times.Moreover, she is silent on the wet-foot-dryfoot issue which is a dishonor to her constituents because every new cuban immigrant mittigates employment opportunity for unemployed Black Americans. We,Black Americans, are not properly represented.This is why in 2012 I will not vote for President Obama because of his liberal stance on immigration. Furhtermore, wish to see more Black elected Officials take a more agressive stance on immgration.

My first visit to your website and newspaper and I find that you give space to air the most bigoted hateful and worst of all ignorant citizen of your area. Linda Simmons is a hateful racist and the shame her family feels should be similar to the shame of The Miami Times to give her the space for this drivel.

I am not talking about legal immigrants I am talking about ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS I thought you would know that by the title of the article. Medicare Fraud is #1 and mostly done by criminals brought here by wet foot dry foot hispanics. Illegal immigration takes away jobs and and increases crime like medicare fraud. The problem will be taken care of soon because we are bankrupt. There will be and already is an uprising of American Citizens that are not buying the illegal story any longer. I for one am tired of paying for people that will not pay. I say we need a number that we can call and have them deported immediately.

It is so unfortunate that Ms. Simmions feel that way about immigration. I am interested to know how she managed to relate Medicare fraud to immigration, or immigration to crime and unemployment.
The powers that be would love everyone to think like her. They would rather that we fight amongst ourselves or with other minority groups, and remain distracted and uninformed about the real issues.
The real focus should be on the Prison Industrial Complex, and the politicians who push these policies that allow our kids to be criminalized as early as 8 years old, allow our kids to be housed with adult offenders, outsource prison labor to steal jobs from the tax paying resident, and create an environment that makes it hard for a person who has served their time to find housing, get jobs, and vote.
I hope that we don’t allow ourselves to be distracted by anti-immigration propaganda, and lose focus on the real enemy of our communities.
