Why do Hispanic and African Americans hate Steve Bannon?

The book further explains Bannon’s assertion of how mass illegal and legal immigration — where the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million immigrants into the country every year — turns a profit for wealthy CEOs and big business, but is a detriment to American workers who see their wages stagnate for more than a decade and their jobs being taken by foreign nationals.

Bannon explains in the book:

”The low-skill, low-wage, non-English speaking people entering the United States from Mexico are taking jobs from Americans, Bannon strongly believes. “The people most affected by illegal alien labor, is the black working class and the Hispanic working class,” he said. “Go into the inner city. That’s why they’re not paying a guy 12 bucks or 13 bucks to flip burgers at McDonald’s. Because they don’t have to! They get all the labor they want.”

Bannon seeks not just to end illegal immigration, but he wants to vastly curb legal immigration and reduce the number of refugees the United States takes. “Until we have the black working class and the Hispanic working class getting high-value-added jobs, we’ve failed as a society. To me: citizens first. And we don’t need a million immigrants in this country. Particularly, we don’t need a million immigrants that don’t come with a real set of skills.”

Bannon says the U.S. is founded on its citizens, and therefore the needs of its citizens should come before those of foreign nations and foreign nationals.
