Hispanics Get Preferential Treatment

This according to black leaders who say peoples of African descent are turned away unfairly:

Black leaders say Mexicans and other Hispanic nationals are getting preferential immigration treatment, as the U.S. systematically turns away people from countries with largely African-descended populations, such as Jamaica and the Dominican Republic...

The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, a Los Angeles-based conservative talk show host and founder of the nonprofit Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny, said the debate about immigration reform is all about politics. "Unfortunately for blacks, politicians like [Sen. Edward M.] Kennedy are more interested in the next election -- and blacks are a small slice of the voting pie, while Hispanic numbers are exploding," he said.

Unfortunately the governments response will likely be to allow more black immigrants in the country, with further burdens on legal taxpayers. Their attitude is try to please everybody.
