This makes sense.


The problem with Detroit is not the decline in population; the problem is the high taxes, rampant crime, and city officials who are corrupt as the day is long (Democrats all I might add).  They have controlled that city for nearly 48 years and in that time the population has dropped by nearly 1 million people.  I don't think immigrants will like to live there any more than any one else under the current regime.  That city is a prime example of what happens when Democrats take over everything.  No one should be forced to live there.

What a lunatic!  Detroit is currently a dead city thanks primarily to over-taxation and a dying auto industry.  Businesses have effectively been driven out of the city center by policies that mirror those promoted by the Obama during the 2008 election.  Instead, they go to Flint, Dearborn and Southfield.  The few that are moving back have been lured by low rent and temporary tax deals.  Bringing more people into a city with 26+% unemployment isn't going to solve any problems... unless your goal is to increase poverty and justify further entitlement programs.

Don't forget crime and looting. Of course I guess they will say someone put a gun to their heads and made em rob that store and shoot that honest clerk to death.

Well. If we forced them to go to Detroit, it wouldn't take as long for them to go back home.......

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

That was pretty funny.  It just took me 24hrs to find it.  Another good reason is that maybe they would go into canada and drain of their socialiast government money.
