Daniel James is best known for his 1991 book, now out of print: Illegal Immigration: An Unfolding Crisis. In it, James discusses the problems associated with illegal immigration and what can be done about them. Here is one quotation from the book where black social scientists James H. Johnson, Jr., and Melvin Oliver present information regarding American blacks and Cuban immigrants: "Competing for similar jobs in the unskilled and service sectors of the city's economy [Liberty City, Miami - May '80], blacks found themselves losing to Cubans at an alarming rate. Cuban faces soon replaced blacks in such competitive sectors of the economy as hotels, hospitals and restaurants. Employers claimed to find the Cubans more willing to take menial jobs for minimum and below minimum wages. Blacks felt an extreme sense of injustice in the way in which they were being passed by, economically and socially, by the more recent Cuban arrivals" (page 85). Web Destinations
