And what jobs is he proposing be forced to moved to Detroit to employee them; and what Detroit property owners would he demand they give up their vacant property to jobless immigrants, expecting nothing in return; and what taxpayers in Michigan, or the U.S., is would he demand pay for the missing local property taxes to educate the children of the jobless immigrants; and we could go on.
Mr. Bloomberg may have once run a business (built on near-monopoly data feeds - in the beginning - from the stock exchanges) but on how to get a rebirth in Detroit going, he knows nothing.
The first “new additions” that Detroit would need would be new businesses. New businesses would provide the economic base for greater growth in new residents - not the other way around.
The atmosphere for new businesses in Detroit can be provided by changes in the tax and regulation climate in Michigan and in the city of Detroit itself.
In other words “if you build it” - the right governmental environment, “they will come” - business and industry, and people, immigrant and otherwise will follow.
