NumbersUSA

My name is Mark Krikorian, executive director of the center, and today we have a, uh, returning guest on a returning topic.

Roy Beck, who is the founder of NumbersUSA, wrote a book during COVID called Back of the Hiring Line, with the subhead A 200-Year History of Immigration Surges, Employer Bias, and Depression of Black Wealth, basically tracing the history of immigration in the United States and its effect on Black Americans.

But the reason, uh, we're having Roy back is that he put out a second edition, which isn't just, you know, with a new forward or something.

It's substantially expanded with whole new chapters, and I thought it was worth talking about the new material that Roy wrote about.

As one last question, have you sent this to the members of the Black Caucus and to, you know, other prominent Black voices? Has anybody even kind of said, "Don't tell anybody, but yeah, this is a really important issue, and I appreciate it"? Anything like that.

I mean, any reaction at all from a kind of conventional, prominent Black figures?

Well, first of all, sadly, it was delivered personally, not by me, but by our colleague at NumbersUSA, Andre Barnes-

Right

Jim Marter, what do you say?

Yeah, so look, I mean, you know, that's the kind of Democrat voter that should be voting for me because I stand with Numbers USA.

They actually have a plan for how you tackle the immigration problem.

I believe in enforcement, you know, the way he said.
