Those folks know how to build a WALL!
Imagine that across the Mexico border. Problem solved. So, why not?

DETROIT (WWJ) – Prosperous suburbs surrounding Detroit — and even the struggling enclaves within — are working to distance themselves from a city in financial ruin.
In Hamtramck, one City Council candidate is taking that idea to the extreme.
Richard Fabiszak has proposed that Hamtramck build a 12 or 14-foot wall around the city, keeping out Detroiters, and requiring state-issued identification to get in.
“That sounds crazy to me,” one Hamtramck resident told WWJ Newsradio 950′s Sandra McNeil. “I never heard of such a thing. That sounds like something you’d see in a movie — some kind of science fiction movie.”
Resident Felicia Coldhoffer agrees.”Wall off the city and you need ID to come in? That’s insane,” she said.
But, is the crime situation Detroit such that plan like this would make sense to protect Hamtramck?
“It’s getting a little rough and tumble, but, I mean, that’s not the way to fix it. Ya know, you build for the bottom up. You don’t wall it off,” Coldhoffer said.
With a population just over 20,000, Hamtramck is surrounded by the city of Detroit — except for a small portion on the west side that borders the similarly surrounded city of Highland Park.

Detroiters, think of them as zombies.
“Over the past thirty years, a large number of immigrants from the Middle East (especially Yemen) and South Asia (especially Bangladesh) have moved to the city”
Oh, joy. Ain’t “cultural diversity” just a wunnerful thing?
Who in hell thought letting those stone-age cretins into the U.S. was a GOOD idea? Heads on pikes for them!!
“Ferals”
Very, VERY well-put.
I’ve not been up there in a decade.
So I’ll cede to FReepers with more recent experience.
You might well find that the imported Muzzies are far more desirable neighbors than the long time Motown residents.
12 feet is not enough...go with 20’...
I can believe that.
All right! South African style pass laws.
A shadow government would be the demise of America.
I was in Flint in 67 when the first racial riots broke out.
It was ugly.
It's just a terrible situation for many people who no doubt were born and grew up there.
I had heard that Dearborn had by far the most muslims. Is that no longer the case?
As a side note, I play ball with a guy who goes there once a month to stock up on pounds of polish sausage.......
Dearborn is much larger than Hamtramck (100k vs 22k).
It has more total muzzies but a lower percentage.
Yes there are places like that in my hometown of Cleveland.
When I visit, I do so very carefully....
At least in “Zombieland”, you could kill the undead. In real life, they vote for Obama and Carl Levin.

i’d donate to build an israeli-style wall around the white house and congress, and scotus too.
“Still has the best Polish restaurants...”
I still have a T-shirt from the Polish Festival or whatever it’s called that they have there once a year. Like a big block party with live music, awesome Polish, Middle Eastern and other food booths and a great bar run by some Greek guys I think.
It is (was? - I was there about six years ago) a fantastic event. My brother lived there. It did not seem violent or anything. But Detroit is half ghost-town.
Oh yeah, I think Hamtramck is also known for being the first town in America to have daily public Muslim calls to prayer.
Detriot will look like Haiti in 15 years.
