Pete Buttigieg, (snip) proposed Tuesday to repopulate struggling communities by offering special visas to immigrants who agree to move to those towns.
The “community renewal” visas would be targeted to communities that have lost working-age population over the last 10 years as well as smaller cities that are lagging economically. Under the proposal, which is included in a rural policy plan Buttigieg unveiled while campaigning in Iowa, visa holders would be eligible to apply for green cards after living in the targeted community for at least three years.
“We have a plan to help grow jobs, to help grow population, and to help grow infrastructure that’s going to make sure that rural America can actually succeed going forward,” the South Bend, Ind., mayor told reporters during a stop at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines.
Buttigieg said the visa proposal is based on the idea that depressed areas need “not just a job growth strategy but a population--growth strategy.” He emphasized that communities could choose whether or not to participate in the visa program.
Other proposals in Buttigieg’s plan overlap with plans released by former Vice President Joe Biden, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and others.
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Buttigieg proposes offering financial incentives to farmers to encourage carbon-conserving practices. He also calls for tougher enforcement of antitrust laws to protect farmers from the market power of agribusiness interests, and he proposes steps to expand rural broadband.
Buttigieg wants the Justice Department to investigate the recent mergers in the seed business that combined Dow and DuPont, and Bayer and Monsanto.
“The growing market power of corporations—particularly among processing plants and seed companies—means that the reinvigoration of the rural economy depends on a new era of heightened scrutiny of corporate mergers,”

And if our newly arrived immigrant doesn’t like rural North Dakota and decides to move to Little Mogadishu in Minnesota, what happens? My guess is he lives happily ever after in Little Mogadishu, eventually bringing in his relatives.
Keep an eye on him...
Not great at all.............
You are exactly right. He’s a shorter, lighter-colored, Alfred E. Newman-esque Obama with an honorable discharge.
The tip-off is that he’s making a threat with this idea. He is threatening those of us who want to be left alone, who don’t want his private perversions in our faces. He is calling us out, telling us that he is coming after us. His message, like that of the Poser-in-Chief BHO is that we can run, but we can’t hide.
Damn him and the horse he rode in on.
No.
Just NO.
Sure, move a whole bunch of immigrants into areas where there aren’t a lot of natives. Sign them up for every possible government hand out. Watch them chase off the natives who are now grossly outnumbered, and set up mini versions of the hellhole countries they just left. What could possibly go wrong?
