The only things keeping large American cities from total collapse and chaos are the ever-increasing federal debt and the liberal delusion that flooding the country with illegal aliens is good.

My only hope is that when the end comes for these large cities, the problem populations do not infest near-by smaller towns. Time to build walls around all of the cities to keep the drowning rats in their pools.

Cities shrink as working population leave, but immigrants help stem population losses by increasing the welfare roles

I thought the extreme far-lefties pimp abortions all the time to CAUSE POPULATION LOSSES! WHISKEY! TANGO! FOXTROT! Immigrants are not stemming sh*t. The left wants them here because they are easier to control and are naturally Dung Beetle material. The Dung Bettle crowd can’t control those pesky and wascally Americans who won’t drop their drawers and bend over for them.

And gee whiz- what a boon those 3/4 of illegals who go on welfare for life are to this nation! Not to mention that the criminals that cross our borders commit for more,violent crimes than any group here- some prisons are almost 75% illegals, who cost our nation about $145 per day per inmate, some cost way more as they soak our system for all its worth.

Cities shrink but immigrants help stem population losses

In Roman times:

Cities shrink as Roman citizens flee to the countryside, but Vandals and Goths help stem population losses by entering, plundering, and forcibly "making" nice with remaining Roman virgins

[[That’s not a growth strategy and not even a survival strategy for the blue cities and states]]

The cities beg for, and get $$ from the gov for wards,of the state. They are trying to get their slice of the pie before funds run totally out.

Our social security is sposedly going broke, but incredibly the gov has all kinds of money for illegals, terrorist nations, etc

[[Tighter restrictions on asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border, enacted by the Biden administration earlier this year]]

Th3 majority of the left truly are delusional liars. How they can sleep at night is beyond me. They really are evil liars

What “tighter reatrictions” did he enact? That they must wear shoe laces in order to be allowed in (and provided some if they show up without them?)

[[Here’s the thing, if you import people who made sh*tty societies where they came from, en masse, they are only going to do the same here. ]]

And less anyone think otherwise, all we have to do is look at the illegal criminals that were sent to ny city, put up in massively expensive hotels, given “free food” and who dumped all over the hotel, trashing it, refusing the food and complaining for better food for çfree” and left the place a horrid mess for others to clean up

That is our future with most of the illegals coming here- they really are the “gimme Dat cuz you owe me” generation

“...illegals will be counted in the census...”

Trump tried to stop this insane policy with an executive order but a Rat judge overruled it.

California would lose 10-12 congressional seats if illegals were not counted in the census.

The illegals will be counted in the census.
They will reliably vote democrat. Many times.
They will be the permanent underclass that the dims want.

“Just about every line in this article is bogus political spin.”

This current self-inflicted ‘problem’ reminds me of when my boys were pre-teens. We played a computer game called SIM-City, where you design a city, get it up and functioning and running like clockwork.

Before we went to bed, we set it so every man-made and natural disaster could hit it overnight.

In the morning we surveyed the extensive damage, then started rebuilding.

It seems to work that way in Real Life any time Socialist Democrats are in charge.

Let’s Go, Brandon! (For starters. He’s the culmination of decades of Socialists in positions and places of power.)

“prices of housing”

War on fossil fuel, inflation, big government regulations by EPA, etc. have far more impact on housing price than immigrants.

For example, there is a shortage of construction workers to hang the drywall and roofing, let alone move the dirt for the foundation.

Nobody has yet figured out how to get around the laws of economics.

I didn't fault the immigrants. I faulted the blue areas for forcing the moves by people who headed to the red areas.

For sure there are many government intervention issues that make for higher prices, but, people fleeing the blue areas have had a bigger impact on housing prices.

Home prices in Florida have gone up 20% and more (about 35% around my area of Tampa) in many areas, and people from the blue areas who sold their homes at 'blue area' prices (like NY, California, Illinois, Massachusetts) have used their money to purchase the lower-priced homes in Florida, and the demand has brought up prices tremendously n Florida. I would not be able to sell my home at the current price range, and then buy a similar-sized home, because, I wouldn't be able to afford the higher price; I have to stay put.

so, productive citizens flee Democrat-controlled hellholes but are replaced with uneducated peasants who can’t read or write and many with communicable diseases long considered wiped out in this country ... is this a great country, or what!
