10 hilarious reactions to Donald Trump’s ‘Black jobs’ remark from presidential debate

Former President Donald Trump argued during the first presidential debate that illegal immigrants were taking away jobs from Black people.

Trump, whose 2024 campaign aimed to boost outreach among Black communities, stated that illegal immigrants took away "Black jobs." "The fact is that his big kill on the Black people is the millions of people that he's allowed to come in through the border. They're taking Black jobs now. They're taking Black jobs and they're taking Hispanic jobs. And you haven't seen it yet, but you're going to see something that's going to be the worst in our history," he said.
