Its a historical fact that the number one group hurt by US immigration policies are African-Americans. Instead of relying on newly emancipated black labor, American industry in the 1870's relied on imported European labor. Same situation occured in the 1960's. Instead of soaking up newly desegregated black labor, the 1965 Immigration law was passed which opened the US to its current round of immigration.
