Presidential Debate at CNN headquarters, Atlanta GA: on Jobs


Donald Trump: Immigrants are taking black jobs and Hispanic jobs

BIDEN [to Trump]: We find that the choice that black families have to make relative to childcare is incredibly difficult. When we did the first major piece of legislation in the past, I was able to reduce black childcare costs. I cut them in half. We've got to make sure we provide for childcare costs. We've got to make sure--because when you provide that childcare protections, you increase economic growth because more people can be in the job market.

TRUMP: He caused inflation. As sure as you're sitting there, 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 and it could be 18. It could be 19 and even 20 million people. 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.
