You might disagree but what I have to say is the truth and has come from the mouths of more Mexicans to my ears than most of you will ever personally see much less meet in your lives. The majority of them despise black people and are racist as hell!
In their cultures the lighter their skin the higher they are in the pecking order. This goes back to the days of the first Spaniards there. Lighter skin means more respect, more opportunities. In the US upon seeing an attractive man from south of the border with an unattractive and/or obese white woman the first thing most people think is that he's with her for a green card and while in some cases that might be true more often than not it is an attempt to make taller, lighter skinned children.
So who do you suppose will be the first to jump on offers of housing the illegal immigrants for the hoped for paycheck of $125 per day? I can almost guarantee it will be poor black families. Rich white people aren't stupid enough to take them in, not many hispanic families will either unless they have personal ties. So poor blacks living below poverty levels will jump at the opportunity for free money.
Now how do you suppose it will work out? Taking in people who most likely despise them for money that might never come and who they wont be able to evict if it all goes bad? This will not end well in a whole lot of cases. If the mayor's plan comes to fruition be ready for NYC to be in the news a hell of a lot more than they already are.
I have noticed this not just with Hispanics. I have a Chinese friend that describes herself as "White Chinese". You have 'White" Asians, Indians, Hispanics, and the lighter the color of anyone's skin in almost every country, is viewed as an attractive characteristic, even among American Blacks.
I just recently saw a YouTube video where several African leaders were speaking out about the lack of respect that the United States has for Africans, regardless to whichever country they are communicating with, and that they are reducing their business with America and are doing more business with China and Russia because they treat then with more respect.
Unfortunately, I believe that will be short lived, once they get what they want. Then they will treat them the same way that America does.
You are right about the poorest in New York that will see this as a possible wind fall, will suffer the greatest, but in the end, we will all suffer.
