The Progressive agenda is based on selling fairy tales as reality.

It would be great if immigrants did go there, though, because the biggest problem in Detroit is the current power elite, who can be perfectly successful despite the failure of their city and citizens. Immigrants would upset the demographics, and would give voters a chance to break up the power structures in a way that could help the city.

These are the type of dumb ideas that kids have when they play : ‘how would you fix things if you had magic’

Completely un-workable.

One of the few enterprises that can survive in Detroit are outlaw motorcycle clubs. Here's a nice Picasa web album of about 30 of them. (For comparison I believe Portland has one clubhouse, a city about the same population).

Outlaw Motorcycle Clubhouses of Detroit

How evil is it? The Hell's Angels don't have a presence there. They were kept out by the combined forces of the Outlaws and the Highwaymen. And those two clubs hate each other. But still, priorities.

Highwaymen M/C

Outlaws M/C

These are mostly White gangs, some of the few White people who survive in Detroit. You don't really want to know about the Black gangs, they are much worse.

Black Mafia Family

Errol Flynns Clever name, scary guys. East side.

Black Killers, or BK's East side.

Young Boys Inc. ... invented the modern crack trade. West side.

And, hey, the Italian's have their piece of the pie: The Detroit Partnership

Even the music fans are considered street gangs by the FBI.

Juggalos, fans of the Insane Clown Posse.

Even the Somali's would meet their match in Detroit, which is why THERE AREN'T ANY! Despite their domination of crime elsewhere in the Midwest.

The gangs of Detroit grew up playing here. This was what they had instead of playgrounds.

Detroit had 411 homicides in 2012. Detroit has a population of about 700,000.

For comparison Chicago had 532 homicides in 2012. Chicago has a population of 2.7 million. Detroit has four time as many killings per capita as Chicago, a city synonymous with violent death.

Chicago is more dangerous than Kabul, Afghanistan.

Detroit has it's own category. Detroit is a HARD, HARD place. The current residents would make short work of immigrants, I'm pretty sure.

Using immigrants to save Detroit is like using gasoline to put out a fire.
