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,”

Easier to make them disappear
In other words....Repopulate Red States.
They want to turn the heartland into mirror images of urban cesspools
If Buttigieg keeps this up the Bushes will be endorsing him.
Straight out of the Soviet Union of the 1920’s & 1930’s...
It was successfully implemented by obunghole during his 8-years... Now it’s time to go “big time”...
No.
We know why he’s really proposing it.
this.
This guy is a world class a hole.
We already have sub-populations of Somalis not to mention populations of people from Mexico and Central America in Western Kansas.
Whenever I am driving through that area, I swear I am in another country.
MFO
Sent over from communist central planning. Well, his Harvard Degree, Rhodes Scholarship and time at McKinsey have paid off. The Globalists have found their man.
Not "for you"... in your place. An important distinction.
What a toad this guy is. If there will be jobs for these migrants there would be jobs for Americans and no need for migrants.
this happened to where i used to live in south florida and the main reason i moved to no mans land in the big bend area of north florida...
I believe the Soviet Union did that with conquered nations. They moved Russians into other nations...No thanks...
Besides having no understanding of biology, Buttigieg has no understanding of economics. Those areas lost population because they lost jobs due to anti-work democrat policies. Importing people who hate America will not create new jobs in those rural areas - but reelecting President Trump will. Once the jobs return, real Americans will return to fill those jobs.
Obama was clearly a one time event for the Democrats
Young black attractive heterosexual nice wife and kids articulate
And of course the fix was in as the Republicans put up McCain a complete and total idiot and Romney a complete and total backstabbing loser
Finally it all came to ahead and 16 we Republicans it had enough of the bushes put Donald Trump up as our candidate
and he definitely did not run a weak. campaign he took it right to Hillary and it was still very very close
America was on the precipice of finally knuckling under to the communists
Now here we are four years later they to threw out everything they could and it is great and wonderful man who is stood up to all of it and now the reckoning of their evilness is due
They are floundering around leader in there with nothing except hate trump
We can only hope that this will finally expose the evil vile democratic party once and for all and they will be reduced back to a bunch of pope Francis types
That’s what I meant.
I don’t know how, or if, they vote but they left Russia to get away from Russian government persecution.
WOW. Just WOW.
Most imports vote Democrat over Republican 85% - 15%. They are not on our side politically.
I am finding out that almost everyone is marco-econically retarded.
