Numbers USA Airs African American Unemployment Ad

TV spot addresses the nation's high rate of black unemployment

Numbers USA, an anti-immigration advocacy group, this week released an political ad targeting African Americans and their high rate of unemployment. "I need a job," says a black man, seen with his wife and daughter in their home kitchen. "What I don't understand is why our leaders are going to admit another million immigrants next year when 3 million black Americans can't find work." The ad is running on television and highlights a long-thought xenophobic approach to joblessness and immigration reform. (NumbersUSA)
