Just heard a caller on UK's Talkradio stating he's seen "migrants" on the streets selling the TVs from their government-provided hotel rooms. Announcer James Max acted as if it were impossible and shut him down lolz
Excellent
The sheer stupidity of the West these days.
SMH
As we watch America slide down the tubes, similary.
Sadly
Yep - only burning the building down to the ground will remove their stench.
Source: BEEN THERE amongst them in those countries with no soap or TP in the bathrooms that were only a hole in the ground.
Dharavi has suffered from many epidemics and other disasters, including a widespread plague in 1896 which killed over half of the population of Bombay. Sanitation in the slums remains poor.
Dharavi is often compared to Orangi slum in Karachi. While Orangi has double the population of Dharavi, it is spread over an area of 60 square kilometres (23 sq mi), about 30 times that of Dharavi. Effectively, Orangi slum dwellers have 15 times more land per capita than Dharavi.
With a literacy rate of 69%, Dharavi is the most literate slum in India.
About 29% of the population of Dharavi is Muslim, compared to 19% in Mumbai overall. The Christian population is estimated to be about 6%, while the rest are predominantly Hindus (65%), with some Buddhists and other minority religions. Among the people, about 20% work on animal skin production, tanneries and leather goods. Other specialise in pottery work, textile goods manufacturing, retail and trade, distilleries and other caste professions – all of these as small-scale household operations.
Recycling in Dharavi is reported to employ approximately 250,000 people.
Dharavi exports goods around the world. Often these consist of various leather products, jewellery, various accessories, and textiles. Markets for Dharavi’s goods include stores in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. The total (and largely informal economy) turnover is estimated to be between US$500 million, and US$650 million per year, to over US$1 billion per year. The per capita income of the residents, depending on estimated population range of 300,000 to about 1 million, ranges between US$500 and US$2,000 per year.
Potable water is supplied by the MCGM to Dharavi and the whole of Mumbai. However, a large amount of water is lost due to water thefts, illegal connection and leakage.
Mahim Creek is a local river that is widely used by local residents for urination and defecation causing the spread of contagious diseases. The open sewers in the city drain to the creek causing a spike in water pollutants, septic conditions, and foul odors. Due to the air pollutants, diseases such as lung cancer, tuberculosis, and asthma are common among residents. There are government proposals in regards to improving Dharavi’s sanitation issues. The residents have a section where they wash their clothes in water that people defecate in. This spreads the amount of disease as doctors have to deal with over 4,000 cases of typhoid a day. In a 2006 Human Development Report by the UN, they estimated there was an average of 1 toilet for every 1,440 people.
Sure, communal sanitation blocks that are mostly in a miserable condition and overcrowded space do not comfort the living. Inside the huts, it is, however, very clean, and some huts share some elements of beauty. Nice curtains at the windows and balconies covered by flowers and plants indicate that people try to arrange their homes as cosy and comfortable as possible.
The latest urban redevelopment plan proposed for the Dharavi area is managed by American-trained architect Mukesh Mehta. The plan involves the construction of 2,800,000 square metres (30,000,000 sq ft) of housing, schools, parks and roads to serve the 57,000 families residing in the area, along with 3,700,000 square metres (40,000,000 sq ft) of residential and commercial space for sale. There is still a significant local opposition to the plans, largely because existing residents still feel 33 square metres (350 sq ft) of revised permanent alternate accommodation per tenant is not adequate each.

If somebody tries to sell you a desk lamp with USB jacks on the base of it, be suspicious.
If they locals had any brains, they'd get rid of their TVs too, whether selling them, donating them, or just throwing them out.
It amazes me how many hotels don’t have USB jacks in lamps yet. Last week I forgot my charger block and my room had none.
Clever.
I expect the same thing is occurring here in the United States.
All of the hotels housing these migrants are going to be completely ransacked. Then the owners are going to go crying to the government for financial relief.
The one consistent aspect of “the law of unintended consequences” is the taxpayer always gets stuck with the tab.
They are human.
If you consider them animals, that says a lot about you.
You can disagree with them being here, but what you wrote is just disgusting.
Put them in Tents ,just like home
“I can’t wait for my card board box
I won’t own it ...... but I’ll be happy”
Which brings up the question. Where do they get their cardboard boxes? Are they imported from rich cities where the politicians buy new appliances with the monetary “assistance” provided by western nations?
Is this a BYOB (bring your own box) community or will one be provided?
An enterprising young man or woman could start a cardboard box selling business (capitalism strikes again) and thus end up owning the largest multi-complex cardboard home!
I can’t wait for my card board box
This Ol’ Box (In Living Color)

Chromosomes missing....not fully evolved
Great concept .. but I can think of a few names who could have pulled it off a little better.
still ...funny
as to, where do the boxes come from?
I tell you I never thought of that.
Everyone is moving out of those areas in the U.S. don't they take the boxes with them. .. is there going to be a box shortage ? ... will the value of your box go up ... will the price of a new box be out of reach for 1st time box folks.
I Haven't seen many “visitors” bringing their own boxes across the boarder ...
I can't recall seeing any new boxes bigger then a flat screen tv in awhile .... no refrigerator boxes for ages.
hmmmmm perhaps a small investment in a box company would not be out of line ...... hmmm
“still a significant local opposition to the plans, “
350 sqft with access to plumbing?
vs living in an actual septic tank .... hmmm
that’s a tough one all right.
sad , when we know it dose’t have to be like that
LMFAO...
.....
As I recall, my last toilet cost more than the last TV (bought SINCE the last toilet was bought) The newscasts from either of them was similar.
The law of “unintended consequences” comes about as a result of “intended consequences” by the illegals. A sovereign country without walls & strict laws is not a sovereign country. Wondering if Mayorkas ever heard this saying?
