Here’s the premise: Democrats/Liberals are ready to sacrifice any Americans, even their constituents, in their greed for power.
1.First…their refusal to support a border wall, and to stem the avalanche of illegal immigration
Guess who this hurts?
Obama's US Civil Rights Commission, 2010 Report:
"The United States Commission on Civil Rights (Commission) is pleased to transmit this report, The Impact of Illegal Immigration on the Wages and Employment Opportunities of Black Workers. A panel of experts briefed members of the Commission on April 4, 2008 regarding the evidence for economic loss and job opportunity costs to black workers attributable to illegal immigration. The panelists also described non-economic factors contributing to the depression of black wages and employment rates.
Illegal immigration to the United States in recent decades has tended to depress both wages and employment rates for low-skilled American citizens, a disproportionate number of whom are black men."

As shown by Hussein Obama's paean to illegals to go out and vote.....there is a benefit to the Democrat Party, if not to their most loyal constituents.
2. How to explain this counterintuitive endeavor by the Democrats?
After all, without the black vote, Democrats would never win a national election.
"...what would happen if a smaller percentage of blacks turned out:
- At 90 percent black turn-out, Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes slide into the GOP column.
- At 75 percent black turn-out, Pennsylvania’s 21 electoral votes go Republican.
- At 70 percent Michigan’s 17 electoral votes turn from blue to red.
- At 50 percent the GOP collects Delawre’s three electoral votes.
I don’t know what a realistic number to project is for the effects of angry black apathy, but I’ll stop at 50 percent. It may be that going as low as 75 percent is unrealistic. Most likely it’s impossible to say. (And this doesn’t take into account things like congressional districts where black voters make the margin of difference.)"

Oh, and that title…’More Likely Than Whites…'
I’ll get to that next.
