(“Chicago businesses offer 400 jobs to on-the-run felons” seems like a more accurate headline, because after all, the first act of these foreigners on our soil was a felonious one, and it’s a crime for which they’re not paying.)
Meanwhile, black Americans have the highest unemployment rate in the country; according to the latest national data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that number was 5.8% for October 2023. According to a September report from a local Chicago outlet, Chicago unemployment rates hovered around the national average, but among black residents? That number was a whopping 14.3%.
Chicago Job Fair Offers 400 Jobs for Migrants as Native Black Population Suffers Rising Unemployment
Migrants were treated to a job fair in Chicago where employers were looking to offer about 400 of them jobs. Meanwhile, unemployment for city residents continues to trend upward.
The job fair was held on November 2 at the Chicago area Misericordia Home on the city’s north side where nearly 500 refugees from Venezuela, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Ukraine showed up to be courted for potential employment.
With interpreters provided for them, the migrants met with representatives in fields including health care, manufacturing, hospitality, logistics, and others.
The companies also offered help securing government services, legal papers, and even training and educational opportunities.
One of the organizers of the job fair was a migrant from Afghanistan.
Siam Pasarly, the co-founder of Kaar Poh Staffing Agency, told Chicago’s WGN-TV that he hopes to help immigrants avoid the struggles he went through when he first came to Chicago.
“It is very difficult, it is very tough. Until you experience it, you just don’t know,” he exclaimed.
Meanwhile, even as other sectors in the city have recovered, black unemployment in the Windy City is still bad.
According to Crains Chicago Business, the black unemployment rate is 10.9 percent in Illinois, more than three times higher than white unemployment at 3.4 percent.
In Chicago, it is worse as the “jobless rate rose from 43.7% to 57.4% between 2019 and 2021 for Black people ages 20 to 24 in Chicago. The unemployment rate increase for Black women aged 20-24 was staggering, rising from 32% in 2019 to 60% in 2021,” the business paper noted in June.
By August, national unemployment was at 3.7 percent, but for black Americans in Chicago it was 14.3 percent, WTTW-TV reported.
This is one of the many problems that is riling the city’s black population against the rapidly growing number of migrants in the Windy City.
The influx of illegal aliens has many activists for Chicago’s black community worried and angry. In September, left-wing Chicago Catholic priest Father Michael Pfleger said that fast-tracking work permits for illegal immigrants would put jobs for his black flock at risk.
“What are we putting in place to make sure that there are no institutions in this city, this state, and country that will fire Black people because they have to pay them $15 or $16 an hour and then hire a migrant and pay them $5 an hour? What are we putting in place?” he asked.
In another case, Chicago activist Zoey Lee, who appeared at a Chicago City Council meeting, voiced a growing sentiment among black Chicagoans, accusing city leaders of trying to start a “race war” between black Americans and Hispanics.
“To come here and continue to see more Hispanics and Latinos get jobs than blacks here is a disrespect,” she added. “It’s a punch in the face.”

As unemployment in the black community climbs, Chicago Democrats hold a job fair for illegals
At the beginning of this month, a Chicago-based staffing agency partnered with a number of local Democrats to hold a job fair for around 400 open job positions, to a group of around 500 illegal aliens; from a Breitbart item on the news yesterday:
With interpreters provided for them, the migrants met with representatives in fields including health care, manufacturing, hospitality, logistics, and others.
The companies also offered help securing government services, legal papers, and even training and educational opportunities.
(“Chicago businesses offer 400 jobs to on-the-run felons” seems like a more accurate headline, because after all, the first act of these foreigners on our soil was a felonious one, and it’s a crime for which they’re not paying.)
Meanwhile, black Americans have the highest unemployment rate in the country; according to the latest national data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that number was 5.8% for October 2023. According to a September report from a local Chicago outlet, Chicago unemployment rates hovered around the national average, but among black residents? That number was a whopping 14.3%.
Now I mention the job statistics for the black community because that’s a large chunk of the Democratic voting bloc in Chicago, and three top-tier “partners” of the event were local Democrats: “Alderperson” (not Alderman) Andre Vasquez, “100% Pro-Choice” Kevin Olickal, and the far-left Hoan Huynh.
Well, congratulations to the black Chicagoans, because they’re getting exactly what they voted for, even though they probably didn’t realize it—they went to the ballot box for abortion, skin color, and “progress” and got more unemployment, more crime, and more betrayal. Illegals are the Chicago political machine’s newest crop of voters, of course they’re rolling out the red carpet to accommodate; getting these tens of thousands of people on the government dole means a new reliable voting bloc for years to come.
Just yesterday, Peter Von Buol, a longtime friend of AT sent me this video:
A Brandon Johnson supporter demanding he stop the buses from dropping off “immigrants” because they’re stealing all the handouts for which the blacks have been waiting… but still supporting him? Didn’t she ever hear the “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me” saying?
I also can’t figure out why the average leftist voter can’t figure out that corporations and businesses are money-making ventures, not charities. They’re not hiring illegals over Americans because they’re dedicated social justice warriors, they’re hiring illegals because it benefits the business.
