Trump needs to be a little less lazy and actually study some of the stats and studies. He always falls to comments which give his opposition means to call him out. Just saying "they are taking black jobs" isn't enough.
He should cite a couple of studies and understand some of the details so that he can answer such questions and develop good political ads.
Furthermore, he should take pride and explain that it isn't just J6 people he is looking to pardon, he pardoned many black Americans who were in prison for life for simple marijuna charges. He can also repeat that when he was president he told the world "if there are people wrongfully incarcerated give me a list".
He should promise to set-up a team that will look into cases in which Americans of all stripes have been wrongfully or unreasonably imprisoned. Imagine how that would go over with people if they knew that there would be a federal team looking over the cases of some who have lost hope?
His messaging is sometimes way off. He needs to stop being so lazy if he wants to win and reach Independent voters.
For example, the authors of “Immigration and the Economic Status of African-American Men,” a 2010 study published in the journal Economia, concluded, “We find a strong correlation between immigration, black wages, black employment rates, and black incarceration rates. As immigrants disproportionately increased the supply of workers in a particular skill group, the wage of black workers in that group fell, the employment rate declined, and the incarceration rate rose.”
In the years since, the surge of economic immigration has eroded the standing of Black labor even more. It caused T. Willard Fair, President and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Miami, to write an op-ed in The Philadelphia Tribune where he questioned the pernicious loyalty of the CBC to the Democratic Party’s immigration policy:
“The lasting effects of uncontrolled, mass immigration on Black Americans are plainly obvious and have been well-documented throughout our country’s history,” he lamented in the March 2022 commentary. “So how can any Black politician in good conscience advocate for a more expansive immigration policy that would continue to do us harm?”

How Mass Immigration Hurts Black Americans
The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has an obligation to its base—which means taking a different approach than most Democrats to the migrant crisis.
