Chicago is lost.
Detroit, too.

I would say, Wall them off and require passports... but our government is so inept at that sort of thing that it doesn't matter.

Our regressive government would prefer all of America was like Chicago and Detroit.

Detroit has seen its population plummet since the incompetent racist Coleman Young was mayor; a lot of that was due to the cratering of the auto industry, which itself resulted from the deadly combination of the 1973 OPEC embargo and permanent high oil prices controlled by a cartel, along with the need for higher-markup smaller vehicles — to support the UAW welfare state — and those are difficult to sell without a constant drive for quality improvement a la the Japanese. I remember when Japanese cars were first starting to appear, they were small, fuel efficient, piles of junk that disintegrated from the winter salt. So, the gubmint said, knock it off with the salt. :’)

Anyway, the Detroit of the 1960s riots and 1970s shuttered storefronts is basically gone, literally demolished. My last trip downtown there was about ten years ago, it was already beginning to look like I could farm there.

OMG.. They need A fence, I’ll bet they get a fence before the states get one to protect our nation’s border...
