But won’t the island tip over if too many “immigrants” move in?
They’ll just blame it on the “greeeeeeeeeedddddddy, eeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvil” private landlords like they do here in the states.
We make snide remarks about the UK as if its not happening here?
Why do you think home and rental prices are skyrocketing? 820,000 illegal immigrants have crossed over since January. That is a lot of housing needed. 100,000 people a month.
I think we assume these illegals are all poor. They are not. People are coming across the southern border from many countries.
In our county home prices were just re-evalutated at an increase of 33%. My real estate taxes just increased a thousand dollars a year.
And I’m supposed to point fingers and laugh at the UK?
Same thing happening here, I’ve seen some first hand. Recently one of our neighbors, a couple, who had been renting for approximately 5 years was priced out of their rental. The rent was increased 33% in one year. Initially I though the landlord was insane thinking he could get that much. Then a woman moved in shortly after, and from what I have heard, gets the majority if not all of her rent paid by the government. Our tax dollars are being weaponized against us inflating the price of housing though subsidies. $2800/mo rent is cheap when it’s “free”.
