Great thread because I agree that Black immigrants have overlooked and left out of the conversation. This has been an issue for Caribbean blacks for many years. When they have tried to enter the country and claim political exile like Cubans with whiter skin and more money were accepted. Caribbean blacks crowded on something you could hardly call a boat are met by the coast Guard in the Atlantic and turned around. But when the Berlin Wall was demolished, we welcomed Germans who wanted to escape, here with open arms and created a path for citizenship.
