He doesn't explain how these new immigrants are going to find jobs without skills - especially in a depressed, burned out city that has an oppressive taxation and regulatory environment - or start new businesses without money to invest in them.
Maybe he's being brainwashed by the current Chrysler (government-owned) commercials which are depicting Detroit as a great city for opportunity.
If we can pass a law confining legal immigrants to what I presume will be a walled area, we can certainly extend them unemployment, medicaid and welfare till jobs are created in the Ghetto. Hard to imagine a proposal less American than this one.
I presume Mikies grandparents entered through Ellis Island, yet they ended up in Boston. Shouldn't have allowed that. And Mikie went to school in DC. None of that should have been allowed, his family should have been confined to one of the boroughs.
