2. That is what the question was about
She did engage in some immigrant baiting but let's not attack her by taking what she said out of context.

7. In fairness, she said the man was saying that he did not have
as much work as he used to, because of the undocumented workers who were getting the bulk of the work.

11. She did not say that at all.
She was speaking to an African American man who can not find construction work because his jobs are being taken by undocumented workers. Let's not lie about things. We are all listening to the same debate after all.

25. I thought that was a good response on her part.

She sort of a gave a black eye to Obama by talking about a black PERSON who lost jobs to illegals.

Now he was actually saying immigrants weren't responsible for ghettos not individual jobs lost but it was a good move on her part.
