Many African Americans have found employment in government jobs because government agencies were among the first to become equal opportunity employers and to require equal opportunity in agencies that receive government funds like hospitsls, universities, school districts, medical research companies.
What we might end up seeing is a shift in population employment. Remember what Trump said about immigrants? "They are taking Black and Hispanic jobs."
What if the goal is to put immigrants in camps, have them doing cheap or unpaid labor there, and hire out of work former government related African American employees as cheap labor in agriculture and other low paying jobs?
The least persuasive argument against immigrant roundups is the one about logistics. Nazis managed the logistics of rounding up millions of people into camps for unpaid labor. It was a process that perpetuated itself once it was up and running. The number of people registered in a camp would be around 1.2 million. Camps had insufficient food, medicine and sanitation. Diseases were rampant. People died in large numbers. That left room for new imports to the camps from local "holding centers," i.e. walled off ghettos in cities.
Trains were used for transportation. Not only Jews were put into camps or just deported. Non German employees in Germany were ordered out to their home country. The slogan was Germany for Germans. Jews were denied citizenship no matter how many generations of their family had been German.
A lot of people ignored warnings because they said that removals were logistically impossible. There are Holocaust deniers today who say it never happened because it would have been logistically impossible.
