Youth unemployment is a problem in the US, but an especially bad problem among young black males - I believe I read the other day that the unemployment rate among young black males in Chicago is over 90% - that's insane - and it's not much better anywhere else in the country. What I find interesting is how no one seems to talk about this quite obviously dire situation when discussing immigration reform and amnesty and the flooding of our labor markets with low skill, poorly educated workers - these people are going to be doing the very jobs all those unemployed youth already in America should be doing - why is no one talking about this? How is the way people talk about immigration reform and amnesty not equivalent to us signing off on creating a permanent underclass of unemployed and unemployable youth, especially African-American youth, who are forever dependent on gov't handouts for their survival? This seems utterly crazy to me - and yet you rarely hear people talk about it when discussing immigration reform. I'm not sure why - I'm guessing political correctness - no one wants to touch the subject because they fear conclusions will be reached that will offend some people who very much relish crying grievance over some perceived offense - it's gotta be something like that because this issue has huge problem written all over it and yet it's barely discussed.
