Or we could import them into YOUR hometown and let them drag your schools down, overcrowd your hospitals, increase your property taxes and lower your property values. It's all warm fuzzy goodness until they become YOUR problem.The better question is what could possibly go right?
Invaders have been using our kindness of asylum to get into the country even though unqualified. Ears allowed them entry while they awaited their court date; that's what's attracting them here. What Trump is doing is having our military stop them at the border, and setup tent cities outside of the border. So if you really want to file for asylum, fine. But you can't have access to this country until your hearing. Those cases take three to four years to be heard. So if they want to live in tents all that time, fine with us. But more than likely, most will just turn around and go home.
Furthermore it will be a deterrent from other bands of people thinking they can get through our borders using asylum.
A great plan all the way around.
What could go right? We could import people, make them live in a city owned formerly abandoned house in the ghettos of Cleveland or Detroit for a decade like a new version of the Homestead Act and make them citizens if they work and stay clean.
Hell yeah! Bring them on. When we imported them Bosnians 20 or 25 years back it went plenty well.
Remember, I'm giving them houses no one wants to buy. They'll have little barrios and raise the surrounding property values. They'll largely become citizens and do well just like the Bosnians before them, the Irish, the Ooles, even the Italians and Germans did well.
The one8s that don't work or get convicted or something Trump can do as he wishes with.
So how many neighborhoods increased in value with people of color moving in? How are those neighborhoods that are flooded with Mexicans doing where they stuff 12 people in a three bedroom home?
Property value is increased when there is a demand for people to live there. Taking poor people from other countries with no education or skills along with minimal income will not increase property values; it will decrease property values worse than they are today.
Well shucks man, don't be timid and keep that "people of color" remark all hidden inside like a cheerleader embarassdd she did something naughty. You could have saved us a dozen posts.
Well, then prove me wrong. I can show you areas where houses were right next to each other for generations. Properties that had 20 foot backyards and 10 foot front yards. Yet they were able to maintain their value because of demand.
